Rumor Report: The Return of TPM Carded Figures for The Black series

I received word this morning that for the 50th Anniversary of Lucasfilm, Hasbro plans to re-issue 3 Black Series figures on Episode I style cardbacks like they did for the exclusive Darth Maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Figures include Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu and Jar Jar Binks. There is already an overseas online retailer listing these for preorder but I imagine they’ll be pulled down very soon if not already.

These 3 figures correlate to the new list of Black Series code names that I found the other day and are as follows:

“Winter” – Qui-Gon Jinn
“Autumn” – Mace Windu
“Summer” – Jar Jar Binks

Availability is expected to be around March/April. It is unknown who will be offering that at the time of this post but we’ll provide and update when necessary.

There is also word of another female character joining the Black Series line: Aurra Sing. It is unknown at this time if she will be branded as part of The Phantom Menace or The Clone Wars subgroup of figures but whatever the case I hope we get her in her alternate black outfit as well.

Remember, nothing is official until Hasbro confirms or unannounced product is found at retail.

Rumor Report: More Prequel 6″ Black Series Figures

Even with those stellar figures in collectors’ hands, they want more. I’ve discovered new info that will add 3 more characters – one from each film in the Prequel Trilogy.
