For Obi-Wan Wednesdays this week, it looks like we might finally get that Darth Vader (The Dark Times) from Obi-Wan Kenobi for the Vintage Collection (which has already started hitting New Zealand). Also, there may be preorders for 3 Black Series figures – 2 mainline and 1 deluxe.
Look for the official announcement(s) on Wednesday with preorders launching at 1pm ET on Thursday.
‘Tis the season? The as-of-yet unreleased and unannounced 2021 Black Series Scout Trooper (Holiday Edition) was found at Walmart in Fishkill, NY
Thanks to LJ Wood for the report.
After the huge list of 19 TVC codes we posted over the weekend, we’ve added a gigantic list of 36 Black Series product to our Master List that should cover a majority of 2023, if not beyond. Of the 36 listings we added, three of them are Deluxe releases, 2 are ForceFX Elite Lightsabers and one is a new helmet. It is unknown how many (if any) of the remaining 30 are exclusives but one could surmise that over a dozen of them are for the 40th Anniversary Return of the Jedi
Like Black Series wave 33 featuring 4 characters from Obi-Wan Kenobi, wave 35 is said to have 4 figures from Andor (one of them obviously being Cassian himself), 3 pipeline figures from The Mandalorian, and an unspecified “game character”.

In trying to piece down the figure sequencing for the Black Series line, I think I’ve been able to establish that Teeka the Jawa Merchant from Obi-Wan Kenobi episode I is the 05 in the order. The image above shows the artwork from the side panels of the Fifth Brother Inquisitor and Ben Kenobi (Tibidon Station) which share some details that can be sourced to the scene in Obi-Wan’s cave as shown. Hopefully he includes the T-16 Skyhopper model for young Luke.
