Tamashii.jp has updated their site with details on the new SHFiguarts Mandalorian (Full Beskar Armor) and The Child figures. Both pieces look incredible and The Child is surely the one to beat in terms of accessories and soft goods in the 1:18 scale market. Both are scheduled for release in September 2020, preorders open soon.

With a good portion of the country on stay/shelter in place directives to combat the spread of COVID-19, I wouldn’t be surprised if Star Wars collectors were treated to new product preorders next week. I noticed that a few retailer pages have become active again for TVC figures like Wolffe and K-2SO. The same thing happened just this past Friday afternoon when Hasbro dropped preorders for the new 6″ GIJOE Destro Classified Series figure (which I quickly snapped up from sponsor DorksideToys.) Could Wolffe and K-2SO (and others) be part of the preorders?
In this time of major upheaval in the routines of our lives, we thank you for your continued support of our site and our sponsors.
Sideshow Collectibles is now taking preorders for “The Child” Life Size figure from Hot Toys. It included multiple interchangeable hands, mythosaur pendant, Razor Crest shift knob, swappable ears and more. Release is slated for Dec 2020-Mar 2021 for $410.00.
If you caught our social media posts about 90 minutes ago (12:25 am CST), you were notified on the opening of preorders for the GameStop Exclusive 6″ Black Series Stormtrooper Commander “Gaming Greats” figure. No release date is given, but if you’re looking to secure one (or more) this is your best bet for now.
And, watch for more Hasbro preorders to launch soon….

Back in February, we exclusively reported 2 new waves of Vintage Collection figure coming later this year* and there has been an adjustment to the name of one of the figures in the first wave. Originally, it was listed as “CL VIN Clone Trooper” on Amazon and
“Airborne/Paratrooper” in other systems. I checked the info again today using the Walmart app and it is now listed as Clone Commander Wolffe. It is unknown if this is a new version or a repack* of the snow gear figure released in the 3.75″ Black Series line.
*Release date may change due to production and shipping delays
Update: He’s not a repack.
