Update: Rumor Report: Two New “Premium” Hasbro Figures?

Leave a comment

The hunt continues for new and as-of-yet unannounced merchandise. Further digging has revealed two new mystery Hasbro action figures at the $49.99 price point. “Star Wars Rey Action Figure” and “Star Wars Darth Vader Action Figure”. These are not the $49.99 Black Series Centerpiece figures judging by their respective UPCs. We’ve added the pertinent info to our UPC/DPCI/SKU Master List Page at the bottom of the Black Series section. (Their placement there doesn’t confirm or imply that these are Black Series related products.)

As always, rumors of unannounced products may change or be cancelled altogether at anytime.

UPDATE: According to Amazon, the packaging 2.6″x9″x11″ – interestingly, that is (nearly) the same dimensions as the Captain America/Crossbones 2 pk of Marvel Legends 6″ figures. Time will tell I guess.

UPDATE: Rumor Report: 6″ General Grievous (Target Exclusive)?

Leave a comment

A 6″ Black Series General Grievous figure has been rumored for a long time and a few months ago I happened upon a UPC thought to be assigned to this figure. I’ve been checking my usual sources since then hoping for some additional confirmation, and then yesterday while hunting about Brickseek, the UPC finally triggered a corresponding item for $29.99 at Target. The price does fall inline with the likes of the Gamorrean Guard and Moloch, so I’m going with my gut here and thinking that this will also be Target’s exclusive in the US.

That being said, were probably still six months out from its release so release dates may change (see TVC and TBS Mimban Stormtrooper and TVC Rey). Until then, save the above info for your reference and we’ll update when more definitive details are known.

UPDATE: So new info has come to light and the exclusivity of Grievous may be in flux — to the point where it may not be an exclusive at all and just part of a series of Deluxe 6″ Black Series figures.

Always in motion is the future.
