Preorders will open tomorrow at 1pm ET exclusively in-store and online at GameStop.com in the U.S. and at EBGames in Canada.

Rumor Report: 6″ TBS Gaming Greats Jumptrooper Preorder Soon?
Keep an eye on GameStop as there may be a new 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats figure popping up in the next few days (if not today). Back when the Cal Kestis was announced, we noticed that on the packaging it appeared to tease some version of the previous Imperial Jumptrooper. This new/repaint figure should be 01 in the line of Gaming Greats figures for 2021, with Cal Kestis being number 02.
We will make a separate post when the preorders open.

Toyguide Update: 6″ Black Series Inferno Squad Agent (GameStop Exclusive)
PROS: Despite using existing tooling from previous Black Series releases, the Battlefront II Inferno Squad Agent still impresses as a figure. The bold red accents and sigils are striking as they almost have a Special Forces First Order TIE Pilot feel. The sculpting still holds up well today and the repurposed Han Solo stormtrooper belt from 2013 makes this figure stand apart from prior TIE Pilot releases.
CONS: Sadly, this figure doesn’t represent the main protagonist of the Battlefront II story, Iden Versio, though I understand the need to recoup tooling costs and still make something in the spirit of the game. There were several issues in the order fulfillment for this figure from delays and dropped orders. GameStop must work on their exclusives relationship with Hasbro if they want to be a successful player in the game. (Pun intended).
Head to the toyguide for our detailed image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
