Rumor Confirmed: 6″ TBS Incinerator Trooper In-Hand Shots
Instagram follower @clone_cooper_customs has provided us the first in-hand look at the upcoming 6″ Black Series Incinerator Trooper from The Mandalorian. As you can see, it closely matches the trooper’s design from the series and includes a nice flame effect tucked back behind the figure’s left arm.
Update: this release also confirms that the Incinerator Trooper is (03) in the series followed by The Armorer (04) as shown in the circled area on the back of the box.
Walgreens Exclusive: 6″ TBS Phase I Clone Trooper Lieutenant Availability (YMMV)
Popped into my local Walgreens with UPC in-hand to find out the status of the upcoming 6” Black Series Phase I Clone Trooper Lieutenant – I was given an in-store ETA of 9/18 – and the WIC: 831041.
Rumor Report Update: 6″ TBS Mandalorian Build Up Pack Info From Target
Back in June, there was word that a deluxe “build up” pack was headed to the Black Series line for The Mandalorian. Later that month, additional info came to light which was thought to clarify that listing as being for the Vintage Collection. I received a new UPC over the weekend to research and found this morning that it is listed at Target as “STAR WARS MANDO BUILD UP PACK” and confirms the original report of it being for The Black Series. The price on this set is $34.99 and the DPCI is shown above in the image. So, it appears that we are in fact getting TWO Mandalorian build up packs – one for TBS and one for TVC.
Obviously, no official word on availability, but since it’s not showing in various other systems in the U.S., it may be a Target Exclusive.
Rumor Report: 9 New 6″ Black Series Code Names Found
Several new 6″ Black Series code names have been revealed via the Walmart app. These names continue the trend of U.S. states and cities being used to mask the identities of the characters themselves. These figures should be released well into 2021 and as of now it is unknown any or all are exclusive.
Rumor Report: Third TBS Holiday Trooper Coming Soon?
It looks like there is a third 6″ Black Series “Holiday Trooper” coming soon from Hasbro. Checking my usual resources, it shows that dozens of cases of “SW BL HOLIDAY TROOPER 2” are currently en route to the U.S.. This mystery trooper joins the Walmart Holiday Trooper 5 discovered back in June and the Star Wars Holiday Trooper that was rooted out from Target system a couple weeks ago. Price for all 3 of them are about $25 each.
6″ Black Series Darth Nihilus Gaming Greats Revealed
In a surprise reveal (and confirmation of a previous rumor), GameStop is now taking preorders for their exclusive 6″ Black Series Darth Nihilus (Gaming Greats) figure from KOTOR. Expected released date in Oct. 26. Thanks to figurebrian on Instagram for the heads up.

Rumor Report: Wave 27 Clone Trooper Is The Phase I Design?
Poking around the non-U.S. Amazon sites, I found a listing for the upcoming Black Series Clone Wars Clone Trooper from Wave 27. The descriptive text specifically calls out this clone trooper as being of the Phase I design:
The Black Series 6-inch figure is carefully crafted to resemble the Phase I Clone Trooper character from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, plus features details and multiple points of articulation.
Now, Amazon text has been wrong before but looking at some of the other Amazon listings for Luke (Endor) and Leia (Endor), this text seems to be indicative for what we may be getting for the clone. Hopefully we can get better confirmation soon.
