Jedi Insider is reporting on the potential release of a Jedi Training version of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa from The Rise of Skywalker coming to the Black Series line in 2021. They also report the expansion of the 6″ Credit Collection line and through out a couple figure names from The Mandalorian. Head on over for the info.
Armed with some UPC/EAN info, I ventured into Target today to see I could get a hit on the Black Series figures that we exclusively reported on Monday. Low and behold the info is in Target’s system – and it confirms the code names.
With this info some theories can be proposed:
– The price point is indicative of these being exclusive.
– These are individual DPCIs that are not part of an assortment so could they be another wave of Galaxy’s Edge items??? (These figures are also exclusive to ToysRUs in Canada – the retail partner for GE merch in that country.)
– Walmart received an exclusive wave of figures for The Clone Wars – could this be something similar???
DPCIs have been added to our extensive UPC/DPCI/SKU Master List.
Sponsor DorksideToys is now taking preorders for Case, set and individual figures from the new Black Series Archive Wave 1 for 2021. This assortment includes Han Solo (Hoth – Brown Coat), Luke Skywalker (Hoth), Grand Admiral Thrawn and Clone Commander Cody.
Some intel sent to me by an anonymous source reveals 4 new Black Series listings found in a retailer’s system: “Sun”, Snow”, “Wind” and “Rain”. No word who these figures may be or if they may be exclusives.
More info to come when available.
UPDATE: I managed to find pricing info for these this evening – $24.99 – and to me that says “exclusive”.
According to recent shipping data, it appears that there is a large shipment of various Black Series items headed to Hasbro’s distribution center(s). Included in this freight are cases of the Deluxe Jar Jar Binks, the new wave of Black Series Archive featuring Commander Cody, Han Solo (Hoth), Luke Skywalker (Hoth) and Grand Admiral Thrawn, more of the Target Exclusive Din Djarin and The Child packs, plus lots of Wave 28 featuring Moff Gideon, Greef Karga, Kuiil and Rey (Dark Side Vision).
UPDATE: Watch for the new wave of Black Series Archive to start arriving in Target stores the week of Christmas. DPCI 087-16-5540 – they are NOT exclusive to Target.
Instagram follower I Roger K has shared additional loose images of the upcoming wave of 6″ Black Series figures featuring Rey (Dark Side Vision), Greef Karga, Moff Gideon, and Kuiil.
Here is a first in-hand look at the upcoming wave of Black Series figures tentatively slated for release this month. Wave 28 includes Rey (Dark Side Vision), Moff Gideon, Kuiil, Greef Karga and a repack of The Armorer.
Thanks to bryanivestan on Instagram in Singapore for the images.

After picking up my set of 6″ Remnant Stormtroopers from Target this morning, the first thing I did was check the packaging for the potential reveal of the next figure in the line (10). As you can see above, it looks like we’re getting another Mandalorian type figure. Based on some of the details like the jet pack and shoulder armor, it’s hard to determine who it may be exactly as the art doesn’t exactly match character designs for Bo-Katan, Koska Reeves, Axe Woves, nor Cobb Vanth. Who do you think it is intended to represent?
UPDATE: The figure in question is the rumored Bo-Katan. The jet pack artwork on her packaging has been update to reflect her design on The Mandalorian
Target will also be offering once again their exclusive 6″ Black Series Carbonized The Mandalorian figure. Preorders will open 4pm ET.
