Once again we’ve partnered with DorksideToys to giveaway a case of new Vintage Collection and 6” Black Series figures. Details will come this Thursday, Sept 26 after the Triple Force Friday Global Reveals from Disney and Lucasfilm. Until then, be sure that you follow both of our accounts on Instagram (@dorksidetoys and @yak_face) to be eligible for winning.
Remember that mix up last week regarding the Deluxe 6″ Black Series Luke Skywalker figure, well here is the one I confused it with as Lost Boys World on Facebook has posted the first images and details of this German Comic-Con convention exclusive version of Luke Skywalker from the Marvel Comics “Star Wars” title. It features several accessories including his training gear from the Millennium Falcon. No details yet on a U.S. availability for this version but a regular edition of this Luke is available in Wave 23.
Thanks to Nirob S. for the alert.
Update: According the Lost Boys World, this will be available though select retailers in the U.S. – so probably fan channel retailers.
Update 2: Our friends at FanthaTracks have posted an update regarding additional availability and images.
Update 3: @flyguy has confirmed with Hasbro PR that the convention exclusive WILL NOT include the Medal of Yavin as an accessory. I’m guessing that will be available as an exclusive accessory for the retail version

As we’ve done in previous years, we will be assembling a downloadable Triple Force Friday Unofficial Product Checklist for you to have a quick reference when shopping in stores and online on October. 4. And as with previous merchandise launches, not all products listed may be available in your area or on that day.
UPDATE: Watch for a special addition to be included with this year’s checklist. 😉
Our rumor of an upcoming First Order Jet Trooper (Carbonized) “Bruges Rocket Pearl” has been confirmed thanks to an eBay auction. The figure differs from the TBS wave 23 figure as it will have a pearlescent deco and feature a special box to match. This joins the Carbonized versions of The Mandalorian and the Second Sister Inquisitor, and the yet confirmed Sith Trooper – all of which are thought to be individual exclusives for select retailer but that is just speculation until official announcements happen. The First Order Jet Trooper (Carbonized) is thought to be a Walmart exclusive.
Thanks to Alisan S. for the alert.
This Walmart in Camden, DE set an entire PDQ display but obviously denied sales of anything new due to street date and all product was removed from the sales floor. Images courtesy of Jeffrey M.
Don writes in letting us know that he found a case of the 6″ Black Series First Editions at Target in Glendale, CA. It appears that they ship as a full case of white only boxes with one of each figure. Continue reading Full Case of 6″ Black Series First Editions Found at Target

Instagram follower Jeremy B sends us this image confirming our May report of an upcoming exclusive 6” Black Series Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) figure. A friend of his purchased it from a recent Disney storage sale.
Walmart was originally thought to be the retailer of this yet to be announced exclusive, but based on new info that may not be the case.
Oh boy, remember that white “First Edition” Sith Trooper that leaked out a few week ago, well, that isn’t the only one as the entire first wave features these variants as found in at Walmart in Puerto Rico via Instrammer @a_creature_inamask.

As a follow up to Sunday’s exclusive report on the upcoming Target Exclusive 6″ Black Series The Mandalorian (Copper) figure, I received an image privately of this figure. It confirms my speculations that the figure and box are in fact unique – the figure has a metallic/pearlescent sheen to the entire figure and the box is a metallic, penny copper color. Like the exclusive Second Sister Inquisitor, the box also features the callout circle and in it there are multiple translations for the word “Carbonized” – this term is what I assume the powers that be are calling this line of special edition exclusives. This figure is reaching Target stores now and should be available on October 4.
Thanks to my friends JS for the image(s).
