Some TVC collectors were understandably disappointed by Hasbro’s overall TVC showing at SDCC this year (the only thing that saved it for me was the reveal of the INT-4 Interceptor).

However, The Imperial Communique posted a great Q&A with the Hasbro team over this weekend at SDCC definitely worth watching.

Looking ahead to 2027, Hasbro pointed out a renewed focus toward world-building for TVC. They also indicated plans to “catch up” on characters tied to past Haslab projects. For example, an upcoming TVC “Ghost Multipack” is specifically mentioned about midway through the interview.

If this is indeed the plan, what say you? Would a TVC focus on rounding out characters associated with past Haslab items be what you have in mind for the 50th anniversary of the film that started it all?

@5017set is back with more 2027 rumors – this time for the Vintage Collection. It’s not too big a leap that we’d see some reissues of main characters like Vader and Stormtroopers for the 50th anniversary of the franchise, but we may also see a release of “the man” himself to fill a special spot in our collections. (And there’s also Space Gosling from Starfighter).

A bit of poking around the last couple days has yielded a few 2027 code names/product listings seeming to indicate the return of the large format, carded Black Series figures for the 50th Anniversary of Star Wars. A bit too early to tell who they are exactly but if previous anniversary releases are any indication, there will surely be some reissues with some newness shuffled in (hopefully).
