It appears that images of the upcoming fan channel exclusive TBS Darth Sidious and Super Battle Droid have leaked on Reddit via a Hasbro Pulse YouTube ad. Look for both of these to go on preorder this weekend.
As a follow up to our Rumor Report back in January regarding the return of Count Dooku to the Black Series line, infomation that I have found indicates that was inaccurate and the figure is actually the pipelined Darth Sidious. Sidious will be packed alongside the single packed Super Battle Droid and both figures are fan channel exclusives (like Padme, Anakin, Ki-Adi-Mundi and Phase I Clone Trooper) as they are part of the Prequel “mini-beat”.
GameStop is now taking preorders for their exclusive Funko Deluxe POP! Darth Sidious figure – the first of their new Red Saber Series: Volume 1 figures. Price $29.99
Hunting around the web today has turned up search results for a second FORCE FX Lightsaber coming later this year – and its for the Phantom Menace himself, Darth Sidous. It is also rumor to be part of the Elite line which features a removable blade and a $250 price tag.
You want this, don’t you? Hot on the heels of the announcement of the Asajj Ventress statue, Sideshow follows up with the reveal of the striking Darth Sidious Mythos statue.
