The first Black Series from The Mandalorian & Grogu film has surfaced on Facebook Marketplace and it is none other than – The Mandalorian & Grogu. This is a deluxe set which will come with the deluxe price from around $40 depending on retailer.
A shelf tag from a ToysRUs in Canada confirms the rumor of an upcoming Deluxe (D4) from the Black Series featuring Luke Skywalker (Dagobah) and Yoda. No word yet on availability in the US but it’s thought to be a fan channel release.

There is one glaring absence in a certain crew of rebels that will be filled sometime in late 2019. If you’ve followed along with some of the other rumor articles or through various Black Series groups on Facebook, you’ll know the answer. If not, you won’t have to go far.

Here is a look at the Finn vs Captain Phasma 2 pk. coming soon from Hasbro. As you may recall, this set was on display at SDCC 2016 but without Phasma’s BFG accessory. Look for this to be shipped along side carry-forward packs of the Baze Malbus and Stormtrooper set in a few weeks.
A new exclusive Deluxe “Vs.” set has popped up on Toys”R”Us.co.uk featuring Captain Cassian Andor and an Imperial Stormtrooper Officer. The Cassian is repacked from the U-Wing Fighter and the Stormtrooper is a repaint of the single carded basic/universe figure.

Thanks to MNA for the heads-up.
UPDATE: This is confirmed for a US release as well via Hasbro’s Official Collectors Checklist

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with the addition of the 6″ Deluxe Jabba the Hutt from The Black Series.
PROS: Hasbro surprised the collecting community when they announced that they’d be tackling “beasts” in the 6″ scale and they got things very much right with Jabba. The sculpt is the best likeness yet with exacting details in the skin – right down to the obligatory tattoo. Hasbro also added a fun bit of interactivity as you can recreate Jabba signature belly laugh by way of rotating the arms up and down to open and close the mouth. Unfortunately, you’ll have to supply the sound effects yourself.
CONS: For an original retail price of $40 (US), this seems really overpriced and overwhelmingly bland when in its retail packaging. Many collectors found themselves frustrated in that the support accessories were only available through the SDCC exclusive. Tough to argue with those sentiments.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
