While hunting around for more 2024 information today I came across a curious listing that seemed to specify that Count Dooku may be making a return to the Black Series line as a possible fan channel exclusive. Dooku was a stellar figure when it was first released, featuring a near perfect likeness to the late Sir Christopher Lee. If accurate, could we see more prequel figures from the past reissued in the mural packaging? Would you like to see such a thing even happen?
Additional digging this morning has turned up a new Retro Collection code name “Odysseus” which corresponds to an as-of-yet unannounced 6pk.. The dimensions of this item (in terms of packaging) and price are the same as the other 6pks released previously. We know that The Phantom Menance 6pk has the code name “Diomedes” so could this be a set to represent Attack of the Clones based on its Greek-themed code name? I’ll continue to search for more info and update when possible.
