Walmart’s newest wave of exclusive TVC figures are now shipping via online orders. However, it seems it may be difficult to find cardbacks in pristine condition once again thanks to Walmart’s handling of their product.
Plus, be very careful with the Tusken Raider’s right hand… seems many copies of the figure suffer from the joint being fused, which means these may easily snap.
Gentle Giant has announced 3 new mini bust launching for preorder tomorrow. The Wrecker Web Exclusive 1:7 Scale Animated Mini Bust includes a swappable helmet and unhelmeted portrait while the standard edition of Wrecker only has the unmasked portrait. There is also a Bigg Darklighter 1:6 Scale Mini Bust that include swappable helmeted and unhelmeted portraits and swappable arms. Preorders open at 11am ET.
Yakface Reader Mike N. shared these new in-hand shots of the next wave of TVC figures that have apparantly started to hit Target in AZ and were listed on eBay and Mercari. The VC numbering is a follows:
VC184 The Child
VC185 Greef Karga

Also note the image card back for Boba Fett is the corrected version with the yellow accent color and the zoomed out shot for the reference image.
This coming weekend, Hasbro will be having their annual off-site presentation for Toy Fair 2020 in New York. Things have been quiet on the rumor front for the Vintage Collection for a while but hopefully we get official confirmations of some past and newly rumored items for the line. Recently, a Nebraska specialty retailer leaked word of possible update to the previous Amazon exclusive TVC Slave I, there’s also the long-standing rumor of a certain Bespin playset in the cards for 2020. A little Bothan told me that we may even see the reveal of 6 “new” TVC figures that represent characters from The Clone Wars, Rogue One, A New Hope and Return of the Jedi. These rumored figures are a mix of all new sculpts, repaints as well as repacks of recently released figures.
