It looks like the Black Series line will have another new DPCI at Target going forward for 2024 and beyond. Like the Vintage Collection, Target is starting to implement a new Master TBS Assortment DPCI (087-26-3506) hopefully to clear out those forever pegwarming Landos, Greef Kargas and Endor Leias.
Yak’s Top Ten is back, with the focus shifting to characters that have appeared in Star Wars animation.

You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series. Post your 6″ TBS wish list right HERE.

Amazon has already started to ship orders for the as-of-yet officially announced exclusive Black Series Halloween Edition 2pks. I don’t know why I like these so much more than the Xmas figures they release. Again, these aren’t for everyone, nor are they meant to be, so if they aren’t “your thing”, they are easy enough to ignore until “your thing” comes along. I can say it sure is nice to have something revealed, orderable and released in such short timeframe than waiting weeks/months.
SDCC has updated their information to this year’s show and has now added Hasbro’s Star Wars Panel for July 26 from 2-3pm PT.
Update: Back in stock
