Based on a listing I have found, it looks like we can expect a new/another Black SeriesBoba Fett or character from The Book of Boba Fett series this year. It is unknown specifically who it is (other than the label), so it maybe a new, and much needed, Boba Fett from The Empire Strikes Back, a proper Boba Fett (Daimyo) from his eponymous series, or another character from TBOBF such as the female Tusken Warrior. Personally, I think the latter makes the most sense with this being a mainline figure (and thus less accessories and paint apps), already having the TBS Tusken Chieftain and there being a figure in the Vintage Collection.
Hasbro has released some new glam and behind-the-scenes images of the photo shoot for the Haslab Vintage Collection The Ghost and crew. We again get a good sense of scale with the figures showing just how truly large this ship is.
As a follow up to our Rumor Report back in January regarding the return of Count Dooku to the Black Series line, infomation that I have found indicates that was inaccurate and the figure is actually the pipelined Darth Sidious. Sidious will be packed alongside the single packed Super Battle Droid and both figures are fan channel exclusives (like Padme, Anakin, Ki-Adi-Mundi and Phase I Clone Trooper) as they are part of the Prequel “mini-beat”.
Hasbro Pulse has started to deliver their shared exclusive Black Series Mace Windu & 187th Legion Clone Trooper 2pks. No word yet if they are making more available or when DisneyStore.com will be offering their allotment but we will update when we learn more.
I managed to secure a couple sets of the Target exclusive Retro Collection The Phantom Menace 6pk this morning from my store. A great set with 6 all new sculpts in the style of Kenner’s original Star Wars line. These are expected on shelf March 31, they are not register locked.
Price: $59.99 / DPCI: 087-26-0591

Hasbro is leaning hard into the Holocomm Collection with a release that is actually worthy of the line. Darth Vader has been revealed today as an Amazon exclusive. It is available for preorder now for $27.99 – watch for Emperor Palpatine to be revealed/announced in the near future.
StarWars.com got the drop on everyone with the reveal of the Walmart Exclusive Black Series Baylan Skoll (Mercenary) figure coming later this year. This version has a soft goods cloak. It’s doubtful the height issue has been addressed.
TBS preppers, plan for the TBS Shin Hati (Mercenary) with soft goods cloak too.
