It has been almost a year since we first heard about a potential Black Series Starkiller but it sounds like we can expect an official announcement soon (SDCC).

Another quick rumor report for today as we’ve gotten word of a potential HK-87 Assassin Droid figure coming to the Vintage Collection toward the end of the year. We received this figure already in the Black Series line for The Mandalorian but with its appearance in both Ahsoka trailers, a TVC version was all but certain.
A quick rumor report for today as we’ve gotten word of a potential Morgan Elsbeth figure coming to the Vintage Collection toward the end of the year. This character made her debut in The Mandalorian but looks to have an expanded role in the Ahsoka series on Disney+.
