The first image of the upcoming 6″ 40th Anniversary Collection for The Empire Strikes Back confirms our 5 of the figures from our rumor list from a couple weeks ago.
Update: A close up image of Luke has been added to the comments section of this article.
I few days ago I reported on a possible new scale of Star Wars figures and vehicles coming from Hasbro this year. Today I can found info for ANOTHER type of Star Wars product coded as PROJECT OLYMPUS which goes in the opposite direction than the first rumor and is listed as being 9.5″ scale. I have no clue as to what this may be so maybe we’ll all find out together at NY Toy Fair next month (if not sooner).
Update: It has been determined that this is another budget line of action figures similar to what Hasbro has done for Marvel. They are essentially smaller Hero Series figures with less articulation. An image has been added in the comments. Thanks to TatooineSandworm for the additional intel.
Holeinthegroundpro has added several new custom diorama items recently, including a really cool Cargo Hauler.
You can place orders on their site here, and share your thoughts or discuss possible new products you’d like to see them offer in our forums.
Additional evidence supporting our original 6″ Deluxe (D3) Imperial Probe Droid rumor as been found after I was scanning through a few codes via the Walmart app. The product page for the as-of-yet unannounced figure is live on Walmart.com and the app but you obviously can’t order it yet. To be clear, THIS IS NOT A WALMART EXCLUSIVE. Our Master List page has been updated with the pertinent info.
Check your local Targets for restocks of the highly sought after (and scalped) exclusive 6″ Black Series Carbonized Mandalorian. My local store (Maple Grove, MN) replenished with 3 cases over night. Helmet nod to a couple collectors I got the chance to speak with this morning as well.
ShopDisney.de has posted links to two new upcoming Star Wars Toybox items soon to be released in the US: Darth Maul and Kylo Ren with his special TIE Whisper Interceptor. Click on through for a closer look.
Thanks to Thomas L. for the tip.

New York Toy Fair is a little over a month away and if you remember, it was a year ago today that we posted the rumor about the scale change to the new 5″ Galaxy of Adventures figures that replaced the standard “5 POA” basic figure line. As we look to 2020, there is rumbling that there may be another line/scale of figures and vehicles coming for the Star Wars brand from Hasbro. If you’re a fan of the 3.75″ Vintage Collection, 6″ Black Series, and/or 8″ Black Series Hyperreal this new line probably won’t interest you. If you (or your kids) are a fan of the stylized Galaxy of Adventures line it may, but again, this is something different than that too. More details to come as they are uncovered and corroborated.
As for new TVC and TBS products, I’ve heard nothing yet about additional figures/vehicles for The Rise of Skywalker, The Mandalorian or The Clone Wars aside from what we’ve already speculated and posted about in our rumor reports. The month is still young and I hope to uncover more info in the lead up to NY Toy Fair.

For those holding out on clearance for the Target Exclusive TVC Cave of Evil 3pk, keep an eye out at your local stores as some locations have them marked down as low as $11.98. I picked up a few this morning at my local Fridley, MN store. Your mileage may vary of course.
