There is a rumor circulating on the Black Series Canada Facebook group of an EB Games listing (758481) for a 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats Cal Kestis figure ($44.99). No word yet on what skin/outfit it may utilize but, if true, I’d imagine the ponchoed look and possibly a recolor of BD-1.
UPDATE: Images of this figure have now been revealed via Mephitsu.co.uk
Here is the GameStop SKU and Price: #236078 / $29.99
UPDATE 2: Now available on GameStop.com
I received interesting word today that a new 6″ Black Series item has been listed in EBGames system as “Clone Trooper Deluxe”. Could we be getting an ARC Trooper finally or is this a standard clone with a bunch of weapons/accessories? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Shipments for the upcoming 6″ Black Series Darth Nihilus Gaming Greats figure have started arriving in warehouses in Canada for release next month as well as cases of the upcoming Black Series “Bobby” (IG-11) figure for the yet-to-be-announced Credit Collection. I imagine the latter will be revealed next week at Hasbro Pulse Con.
Going through my daily routine of research, I found new evidence of the previously rumored exclusive 6″ Black Series Clone Trooper Lieutenant. It is currently shipping to the US. and could be announced shortly.
Note: This is not the mystery Clone Trooper from the next wave of Black Series.
Thank you sir, may I have another? EBGames looks to have another unannounced figure in their system. Labeled “SW BL CLONE TROOPER LT” this could in fact be a Phase I Clone Trooper with blue armor flashed from Attack of the Clones. Thanks to @wingorlose on Instagram for the intel and image.
UPDATE: Facebook follower Avi German notes on our Facebook page that Cad Bane was also listed via EBGames. If accurate, the above clone is probably the unidentified trooper from Wave 27 in our Master List that includes Hoth Rebel Trooper, Incinerator Trooper, Han Solo (ROTJ), Leia (ROTJ), Luke Skywalker (ROTJ) and Cad Bane.
EBGames Canada Update: It looks like they are also taking preorders for a Gaming Greats Jango Fett (from Bounty Hunter?) and the popular Purge Trooper from Jedi Fallen Order – thanks to Gord P. on Instagram for the skus.
The 6″ Black Series “Gaming Greats” subline of figures may have a few more surprises left. According to @t0ytime on Instagram, EBGames in Canada is currently taking preorders for a Darth Nihilus figure from KOTORII. GameStop is the likely distributor of this figure in the U.S.
A source who wishes to remain anonymous, sent us a link confirming the upcoming 6″ Black Series Shadow Stormtrooper “Gaming Greats” figure from The Force Unleashed. Still no official word on this figure but hopefully we hear something soon.
About a month ago, we ran a report about the possibility of there being a Stormtrooper Commander from The Force Unleashed coming as part of the Black Series Gaming Greats line. Today, we have visual confirmation of that rumor and theory thanks to Instagram follower @audiobeing. This figure reportedly has a street date of March 1 in Canada at EBGames stores, no word yet on a U.S. release date.
Also showing up in EBGames system is a SKU (752667) for another “Gaming Great” Black Series figure – the Stormtrooper Commander. No word on which game it’s from but hopefully it is from The Force Unleashed.
Thanks to @t0ytime on Instagram for the info.
