Star Wars Celebration Japan kicks off TONIGHT with various panels and interviews. Be sure to checkout out the Hasbro Star Wars Brand Panel at 10:30pm ET. (11:30am in Japan) for the latest Vintage Collection and Black Series reveals and announcements. Preorders for new products drop tomorrow.
Panel will likely be streamed (unofficially) by panel attendees.
In another case of Walmart being Walmart, it appears that some Walmart stores have already relegated the Black Series Commander Cody to clearance. This often happens when stores receive product ahead of their reset and instead of hanging on to the product, they rush it to the clearance aisle. This isn’t everywhere and you’d have to be lucky to find them but if you do, do not hesitate. Show no mercy.

Amazon has started to send out notifications for some Black Series preorders which move the release date from July to May. Keep an eye on your preorder status for any movement.
Another unannounced Black Series figure has surfaced via eBay. I looks like Walmart will be getting a recolored Magnaguard as part of the ROTS anniversary packaging program. Thanks to Corellian Collectibles for the alert.
Based on previously leaked parts (bottom images) for TBS Ronin and R5-D56, there will be different versions of the figures released outside of the Celebration Japan set 2pk. Exclusive versions are more monochromatic and the Ronin has soft goods, while the “standard” version features plastic robes and R5 has a brown Kasa hat.
Celebration Exclusive Black Series Star Wars Visions Ronin & R5-D56 revealed.
This STAR WARS action figure set is detailed to look like The Ronin & R5-D56 from STAR WARS: VISIONS. ($69.99) Comes with 11 accessories, including a Lightsaber™, staff, 2 rocket thrusters, and 6 droid tools. Display the figures in or out of the window box package with an outer sleeve, a matte finish with embossing and gloss details, and unique watercolor character art. Look for more STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES 6-inch action figures to recreate your favorite scenes — or imagine your own (each sold separately, subject to availability).
The Star Wars The Black Series The Ronin & R5-D56 with premium Japanese-only single-language packaging is available for purchase exclusively at the Hasbro booth (Hall 1, 3-7) during the 2025 Star Wars Celebration, starting Friday, April 18, at 9 AM JST.
