Packaging shot of the upcoming exclusive TBS Mandalorian, Mercenary Guard Droid and STAP ($85) from The Mandalorian and Grogu has surfaced courtesy of @5017set on X. No word yet on availability l, but it should be soon as shipments have already arrived in the U.S..

For those interested, 2 of the 3 TBS Halloween Edition figures are now available on Amazon. “Nymph” is Togruta and “Genie” is the Tusken Raider.

A video captured by @_figgie_smalls at FanExpo Canada looks to have caught an unannounced Black Series set on display. The pack, code named “Giant”, includes a STAP w/Mercenary Guard Droid variant as well a(nother) Mandalorian with swappable head from his battle on Nal Hutta. This is likely an Amazon exclusive and retails for $84.99 U.S.. More details to come later…

In case you missed my post on social media over the weekend regarding SDCC news and coverage, I’m taking a step back from around the clock duties on Yakface and its social channels to focus on my mental health surrounding this hobby/Hasbro. I fear that if I allow myself to continue with this bitter attitude that has been festering for a while now regarding Hasbro in general, I’ll rage quit altogether. I’m not ready for that. Yet.

A heartfelt thanks for your continued support by using our affiliate links.

Hasbro also partnered with Bossk’s Bounty today to reveal the Vintage Collection Deluxe Amani Guard (VC419) from The Mandalorian and Grogu. Preorders open on July 30 at 1pm ET via Amazon and Fan Channel

Hasbro has officially revealed the rumored Amazon exclusive Black Series Clone Trooper pack today via a shared reveal with @thesithlord229. Priced at a ridiculous $57.99, this set includes 1 clone trooper with 4 alternate helmets, 3 swappable heads, 3 alternate shoulder pauldrons, 4 weapons and a hologram of Darth Sidious. The initial description had me hopeful but I’m passing on the preorder (July 25, 1pm ET) and playing the long-game with this for sure. I’d have paid $57.99 for Pong Krell this year. Too bad.

ActionVerse The Mandalorian vs Mantellian Savrip Creature Showdown listing now on Amazon
