It appears that the new droid sidekick, D-O, from The Rise of Skywalker will be getting the 10″ Funko POP! treatment as a new listing with the code name “Limerick” has surfaced in Target’s system. We first reported the code name back in February, and started compiling evidence attributing the name to D-O ever since, tying it to products for the Black Series and interactive/radio controlled droids. The DPCI for the 10″ POP is 323-01-7303 and retails for $29.99
If you are looking to bolster your Death Trooper ranks in preparation for The Mandalorian or missed out on them when first issued on the TVC card back, sponsor DorksideToys has added them back to their site for preorder. Look for them to start arriving toward the end of July.
News has been kind of light regarding products tying to The Mandalorian which set to debut in November of this year. But I’ve come across a bit of info that shows that a vehicle from the series will be offered in the Vintage Collection. I’m not sure if it will be out this year, but if what I’m hearing is accurate, it will be worth the wait.
UPDATE: Pricing I have found for “Huckleberry Hoodboat” puts this item (currently) in the $100+ range for the US.
DarthChuckMC has sent us a reminder of Target’s current markdown procedures which have recently involved those 6” TBS Luke (Death Star Escape), TVC Han Solo (Stormtrooper) and Retro Collection figures.
DorksideToys has shared with us a new image of the upcoming SDCC exclusive 40th Anniversary 6” Black Series Boba Fett (Kenner) figure . Note the inclusion of the E-11 Stormtrooper blaster rifle which wasn’t shown at SWCC. A nice decision as it’s more “Vintage Kenner-like” to include the Stormtrooper blaster.
Hasbro has sent out notifications to Hasbro Pulse Premium Members to reserve a spot in line for their booth at SDCC in order to purchase exclusives. First come, first served.
All reservations requests are due by Monday June 24, 2019 at 9:00 AM EST.
Thanks to YogiKai for the heads up.
UPDATE: Reservations are now full and the page removed.
With the return of The Clone Wars next year it would probably be fitting to get a new clone trooper or two into collectors’ hands. You hopefully caught our report back in May of the rumored Clone Commander Bly, now there is comm chatter that there will be another Clone Commander joining the ranks and probably be a fan channel/online exclusive. There are plenty of commanders yet to be made and with the existing tooling coupled with some stellar paint work and new accessories, Hasbro should be able to knock a few out rather easily.
