Further proof that retailers and PR firms for product for The Force Awakens, “Force Friday” and other events are completely in the dark, our team mate, Nabil form The Wolfpack Podcast has found the 6″ Battlefront Imperial Shock Trooper at Walmart in Florida.
UPC: 630509391790
Item#: 46939921
A new image of the upcoming Walgreens Exclusive 6″ Black Series Darth Vader (Emperor’s Wrath) figure has surfaced on Instagram showing Vader’s removable/damaged right hand. Click the image above for a closer look.
As a follow up to Walmart’s press release regarding the Exclusive 6″ Black Series Battlefront Shock Trooper, I was able to receive definitive confirmation that it WILL NOT be available as part of this weekend’s Epic Weekend event.
Look for official details on its US release soon.
Our spy was also privy to discussions about Hasbro really wanting to bring back figure display stands/bases back into the 3.75″ product line up. These too are being shopped as exclusives but no official retail partner has signed on yet. More to come…
We’ve received an intelligence report from a trusted source that there are plans for an exclusive 6″ Black Series Trash Compactor scene in the works. Our rebel spy was able to see a newly sculpted head for the existing 6″ Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper Disguise. It is unknown at this time if it would include multiple figures (Han, Chewie, Leia, and Luke) or if it would be something like the recent Kmart Exclusive Kylo Ren (Starkiller Base) as the concept is still looking for an official retail partner. More to come….
The follow up to Funko’s first Smuggler’s Bounty subscription box is coming soon. Can you resist?

Thanks to Twitter follower @SeamusGameus for the report.
In case you missed the official broadcast premiere of the spot last night on ABC, here is the full 60 sec. TV Spot for The Force Awakens.

Personal Note: These Revell items look a lot better than I had expected, and it appears that a lot more attention to detail went into these than what we’ve been seeing from Hasbro in quite some time, sadly.
Sideshow has updated today with a preview of their upcoming Ralph McQuarrie Boba Fett Statue from the Concept Artist Series, Pre-Orders begin on Thursday, November 29, 2015.
