Updated shipping data shows that cases of 6″ Carnor Jax, 6″ Darth Maul, cases of the mystery Target Exclusive 6″ Black Series “Rain” and “Snow*” figures and the Amazon exclusive 6″ Greedo (Kenner Deco) figure plus the First Order Stormtrooper Electronic Helmet have arrived in the Hasbro Distribution Center in CA. Solid cases Moff Gideon and Kuiil from the Retro Collection have arrived stateside as well.
*Rumored to be Obi-Wan Kenobi
Another mystery listing has shown up on Amazon sites overseas and what is puzzling about this one is that the Australia listing describes it as a Vintage “Cat Toy” item, while the Italian listing has it simply as “Black Series”. Both listings share the same Hasbro SKU number (F2886) and EAN/Barcode. The price for this item is around 60 Euros.
It’s anyone’s guess as to what it may actually be but considering how specific the AU listing is (and how general the IT listing is) I’m putting this in the TVC column.
Thanks to JTPrime for the links.
A new 6″ Black Series figure listing has been found on the Australian and Italian Amazon sites. It is unknown who the character is but Amazon AU lists it as being a character from The Mandalorian Season 2. As we’ve previously reported, this figure also has dual code names for the same Hasbro SKU: “Cheetah” and “Haiku”. Thanks to JTPrime for bringing this to our attention.
Hasbro Pulse has added a new sub-category to their website titled “Partner Exclusives“. It looks as though that Hasbro will be offering retailer exclusives through Hasbro Pulse at some point – a suggestion made by many on several occasions. There is nothing for Star Wars at the moment but there are Transformers R.E.D. figures listed there (initially sold only at Walmart). Hopefully figures like the Walmart exclusive Black Series Clone Wars assortment and the upcoming TVC figures will be offered through this channel as a means of meeting collector demand.
Thanks to LivingRangerKey for the heads-up.
It looks like we’re getting another Star Wars Build Up Pack of sorts judging by these new “STAPLER” code name listings on Target, Amazon and Walmart. Judging by the pricepoint (about $15), this may be a Mission Fleet item. No official word yet, but it does have a August 1 release date. We will update when we learn more.
Amazon is now taking preorders for the 6″ Black Series Kenner Deco figures we reported on the other day. Figures include Jawa, Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi, and Greedo.
Bothan spies also send word that Amazon will be offering exclusive Kenner deco variants (Like the SDCC Boba Fett, Zuckuss and 4-LOM) of the 6″ Black Series Greedo, Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi and Jawa as part of the 50th Anniverary of Lucasfilm program.
The code names for Ben and Jawa correlate to the recent list we published and are “Kung Fu” and “Judo” respectively.
Funko also officially announced the long-rumored POP!s from The Rise of Skywalker. They are available for preorder now (including the Amazon exclusive Hoth Luke Skywalker with pin) through our Amazon store. All 4 have an expected release date of May 18, 2021
If anyone is still looking for newest Black Series figures of Han Solo, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker in their Endor attire, all three are available now in stock on our Amazon Store page.
Following up on a rumor from July 11, it appears that the 6″ Black Series figure code named “Indiana” has reached the Hasbro warehouse in California. Interestingly, this figure is being shipped in the same container as the Target exclusive Din Djarin pack, Amazon exclusive Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike, and the Walmart exclusive Mandalorian Super Commando. One could infer that “Indiana” is also an exclusive. No word yet as to the identity of this mysterious figure but we will update when more is discovered.
