Target Exclusive TBS “Ghost” Royal Guard (Halloween Edition) Figures Hitting Stores

Target stores are starting to receive their exclusive Black Series “Ghost” Imperial Royal Guard (Halloween Edition) figures. They are not register locked so checkout is not an issue.

MSRP: $24.99 DPCI: 087-26-7076

There will not be a preorder for these according to Hasbro so you may just happen upon them in store or they’ll drop unexpectedly for in stock purchase via their website/app. We will update when that happens.

The two GITD images represent the figure charged with sunlight and the figure under blacklight. Spooky!

Hasbro Needs To Stop Editing Images Removing Pins for The Black Series

Hasbro has resorted for quite some time to “fluffing up” their images by digitally removing pins from old sculpts that they are reissuing or “refreshing” for new sets. The Mace Windu and the Captain Rex are the latest offenders in this practice. Both upcoming figures use the old, original sculpts that feature exposed double pins in their elbows and knees. Don’t be fooled by the official press photos released.

Some may find this trivial, but others find this to be a clear act of deception aimed at unwitting consumers and collectors. It needs to stop.
