Over a year ago, we began multiple rounds of fan voting by Yakface readers to help identify just which figures our readers wanted to see Hasbro make the most from The Vintage Collection and The Black Series.
The final numbers are in, and we have posted them in our forums. I think it’s safe to say that the interest in the Original Trilogy still holds very strong based on these results, and both 3.75″ and 6″ totals came to the same “Most Wanted”figure.
Find out which character that is, and check out the full results at the links below!
The official site has officially revealed the first merchandise from Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker which heavily features the new Sith Trooper! This 6″ Black Series figure will be available at SDCC for $32 and via HasbroPulse.com – check out the full reveals from Hasbro, Funko, Hot Toys and more at StarWars.com.
UPDATE: This announcement confirms our long-standing rumor reports and speculation of the Black Series and Vintage Collection “Bruges Red” trooper being this figure. There will also be a rocket trooper version this figure (with a different helmet) plus an exclusive 6″ Black Series metallic version all yet to be officially revealed.
While Hasbro’s official SDCC panel starts at 2pm on Friday, July 19. Be sure to be around the day before on Thursday, July 18 as word is that a new product (or products) will be announced/confirmed. No word yet if it’s from the Vintage Collection or Black Series or from what media source (movie, TV, comics) it/they may be based.
SDCC has opened their online portal for registering for the lottery in order to purchase exclusives from Hasbro, Funko, LEGO, etc. Full details can be found at SDCCblog.com. If you are selected, you will be notified by email.
The official site has posted a rundown of exclusives available next month at SDCC. Items range from Hasbro, Funko and Mattel, to Fifth Sun, Regal Robot and more!
Stay tuned for more announcements and reveals as we get closer to San Diego Comic-Con.
DarthChuckMC has sent us a reminder of Target’s current markdown procedures which have recently involved those 6” TBS Luke (Death Star Escape), TVC Han Solo (Stormtrooper) and Retro Collection figures.
