9/13: Some additional poking about has also led us to the fact that the new 6″ Black Series Luke Skywalker from Return of the Jedi (which we discovered back in May) will probably be a deluxe release and with a higher price point (similar to General Grievous) than the standard Black Series figure. Still no word on exclusivity or what extras Luke may include.
Update 9/16: Unfortunately, I cross-referenced this figure with another yet to be revealed deluxe figure. ROTJ Luke will feature a standard box size and price point release. Sorry about the mix up. 🙁
A character code name has been holding out on being deciphered since we started uncovering them back in February. Our digging has accurately confirmed them all thus far, but “BOSTON” has eluded us — until now. Click on through to check out the list of all that we have deciphered so far plus the reveal of this new figure’s possible identity.
We’ve received and read several reports of collectors receiving their shipments of convention exclusives from Hasbro Pulse with varying degrees of damage. Boba Fett with crushed blisters, Jedi Legacy packs with folded over/creased upper tabs due to being packed into small of a box, and Sith Trooper boxes crushed or torn. Hopefully these reports are in the minority, especially with the lengths collectors had to go through to even be able to order them (aside from the Luke Set).
It appears that Target will be receiving an exclusive 6″ Black Series figure for the launch of merchandise on Triple Force Friday. An entry in their system lists a figure “Huck1 Copper” with a price point of $24.99. Based on what we know on code names, this is The Mandalorian and based on the leaked “Graphite” version of the Second Sister Inquisitor, the figure and packaging will probably feature a copper-like finish as well. For those keeping track, this will make another known variant joining Graphite, Pearl, and Red Metallic.
One more reveal for today as I also found an entry for a new 6″ Black Series figure from The Mandalorian codenamed “Bobby”. No clue as to who this is yet but it should be expected soon as it too is headed to the US as you read this.
Additional searching through shipping data has yielded results confirming a 6″ Black Series Purge/Inquisitor Trooper from Jedi: Fallen Order is currently en route to the U.S as well. No word on potential exclusivity of this figure but once I find out more, I’ll provide an update.
Hasbro has made great strides in the quality of the action figure likenesses with the advent of photoreal. This comparison of the first Rey Black Series figure to the new one for The Rise of Skywalker is proof of it. What a difference four years can make!
Thanks to @joshcuadra and @troyzeeeee for the image.
The recent leaks of new product have not only revealed visual details of the figure, but details* from the media they represent. Click on through to read the bios associated for each character.
Speculation has been running rampant since the recent leaks of 6″ Black Series figures but I’ve just been able to confirm via shipping manifest data from Hong Kong that the rumored Black Series exclusive we reported last month has the same code name as the Second Sister Inquisitor (FO Trilla) and that may give further evidence that it is the special “Graphite” version that is part of the GameStop Exclusive Jedi: Fallen Order Deluxe Bundle.
