Images have now surfaced of the upcoming convention exclusive Black Series ROTJ 40th Anniversary Admiral Ackbar figure – complete with Kenner-insired deco and baton. Look for details on availability outside of the MCM London Comic Con (October 28-November 1) soon.
Thanks to Bossk’s Bounty for the heads-up.
Update: Loose images added.
Doing some additional investigating regarding the Deluxe Black Series figures for the 40th Anniversary for Return of the Jedi, I not only came across the price of $33.99 each (regular ROTJ40 figures are $24.99) but I believe, based on the store code, found a third deluxe item. No word what character it may be yet, but there is a pretty short list of who it may be if it’s a repack. A third deluxe may also indicate a third wave as well.
Doing a bit of research today I believe I have found evidence of a third Black Series Halloween themed figure. No word on the design of the figure itself or its retail home, but the code name and Hasbro SKU does fall in line with the previously announced “Skull Clone Trooper” (Target) and “Were-Wookiee” (Walmart).
Recent shipping data shows that the fan channel exclusive TVC R2-SHW (Antoc Merrick’s Astromech) from Rogue One has started to arrive in the U.S.. Orders should hopefully start filling soon – well before the intial release date of Feb. 2023.
This year’s Halloween Droidfactory offerings have started to hit stores in Florida. R7-FNG (from Exogol) and the Droidfactory 4pk featuring previous Halloween Droidfactory astromechs. Thanks to Dave A. or the heads up.
Today we add two new code names for Black Series figures from Andor: “Royal” and “Turquoise”. Both of these figures should be exclusive to Walmart in the U.S.. Stay tuned for more details on these figures soon.
More Andor news. We’ve received info for another potental exclusive for the Black Series from Andor – Cassian Andor Imperial Officer). No word yet as to which retailer this will land but I should be able to figure that out in the next few days.
Following up on another report, it appears that the “Convention Exclusive 5” listing that surfaced yesterday corresponds to a possible carded Black Series 40th Anniversary Admiral Ackbar from Return of the Jedi for Hasbro Pulse Con. No official detail yet, but hopefully we’ll all hear something soon.
As we exclusively reported earlier today, here are a few shots of the upcoming Target exclusive Black Series Shoretrooper from Andor. No official word obviously on its release. Current MSRP is $26.49
With the Andor series launching next month, we are close to seeing new official product reveals for Black Series and Vintage Collection. I received word today that we can expect at exclusive Shoretrooper for the Black Series. It has a new deco that I don’t believe we’ve seen before and has a new weapon. No word yet as to which retailer this will land but I should be able to figure that out in the next few days.
