In my excitement for the new playset images, I just now noticed that there is a new Jakks Elite Praetorian Guard figure as well. This is different than the funky helmeted version we’ve seen leaked before. It also happens to be the same design as the 6″ Black Series figure we are getting as well as the one included in the playset.
This was on display at SDCC but now we have a great look at the packaging and loose shot of the Black Series Poe Dameron Electronic Helmet courtesy of Amazon.es

Amazon.es has also leaked a few of the figures from the first waves of 6″ Black Series. Head over to check out Kylo Ren, Finn First Order Disguise, Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master), and Rey (Jedi Training).
Collectors concerned about old 6″ product clogging pegs at Target can breathe easy as we have news that a new DPCI has been issued for the 6″ Black Series assortment especially for the Force Friday launch of The Last Jedi products.

Speculation and rumors have been circulating for a while regarding the characters selected to represent The Last Jedi in the 3.75″ Black Series assortment. We’ve had a discussion recently with someone that has shed some light to this and on their availability.
We have received additional details, confirmations and some new reveals for a list of Target DPCIs that we shared back on July 2 (you can see the original article here). Click on through for the new info.

As we continue to gather info regarding the details of the products for Force Friday’s launch of merchandise for The Last Jedi, I thought I’d try to give some additional details regarding a few of the new figures and vehicles.
Let’s start things off with the 6″ Black Series Kylo Ren
As Yoda said, “Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future.” but we now believe that the “alien” in wave 2 of the 6″ Black Series may in fact be someone else entirely and NOT Chewbacca as we previously theorized. Click on through to check out the latest development as we prepare for Force Friday 2 and beyond.

You may have noticed that some Walmart stores are resetting their sections for “The Black Series” and making extra space now for more 3.75″ figures.
Are you seeing this in your area? Could this mean some of the more “in-demand” figures in the classic scale will be arriving at retail soon (or to conincide with Force Friday)? Share your thoughts in the forums!
After some exhaustive searching through Brickseek, I managed to find the Walmart SKUs and UPCs for the upcoming 6″ Black Series Deluxe Luke Skywalker with Landspeeder and Rey with Jakku Speeder. Look for these on shelves around Force Friday (Sept 1).
