It’s been a while since we’ve posted any rumors, but over the past couple days I’ve heard that there are a few more Jedi characters in the works for the 6” Black Series line. I must admit that the reveal of Anakin (AOTC) and Obi-Wan (AOTC) last weekend was a bit of a surprise considering Dooku has been rumored for so long. Just to be clear, I have heard of at least two of the Jedi pictured above on tap for 2020, that doesn’t necessarily mean there won’t be more.
Collectors have been finding more and more new TVC at retail since Force Friday, and now some Walmart stores in the St. Louis area are getting in on the fun.
Personal Note: It’s a breath of fresh air finding new super articulated 3.75″ product in stores again! Keep ’em coming!
Recently, several new clothing items have popped up via various retailers (Amazon, Macy’s, Kohl’s, Her Universe etc.) which share a lot of the same key art for The Mandalorian. One in particular seems to have not gotten much fanfare is a new Outland TIE Fighter which looks to have collapsable wings for landing. It will be interesting to see how this features in series and if we’ll get one in toy form, in any scale, any time soon.
This past weekend there were plans to show another TVC vehicle at one of the conventions but it was pulled from reveals at the last minute. As evidence of this fact, BBTS had the “Duckboat” listing as part of their preorder email newsletter announcement this morning (shown above) but it currently directs to a dead link.
Without revealing the full details to protect my source(s), I can say that this is the TVC vehicle from The Mandalorian for 2020 that has been on our list for a few months and it’s “Imperial” in nature. No word yet as to when it will be officially revealed or available for preorder.
Sponsor Entertainment Earth has updated with open preorders for 4 new Black Series figures and 2 new Vintage Collection figures that were revealed officially revealed over the weekend.
We’ve received a couple reports of new 6″ Black Series figures hitting Walmart stores on the east coast. Wave 23 consists of Luke Skywalker (Yavin), Cara Dune, Wedge Antilles, First Order Jet Trooper, and Jannah
This year’s Christmas/Holiday Droidfactory droid has been revealed: BB-18H – a festive, ornament-themed BB unit available exclusively through Disney Parks. Thanks to Darth Chuck and Andy M for the reveal.

Note: the Knight of Ren figure above may in fact be a TVC figure as those knee joints don’t look like those from 6” Black Series figures. This could be a mixup like what happened when the 6” Sith Trooper was revealed. (update: a clearer pic has surfaced and this is a 6” image)
