Retro Rumor Report: Who Is the Next Prototype Edition Figure?

2022 will continue Target’s annual trend started in 2019 of offering an exclusive Retro Collection Prototype Edition figure. So far, we have Darth Vader, Boba Fett and Imperial Stormtrooper – question is: who will be next? Precedent shows that it will most certainly utilize an existing mold and with the 2021 Stormtrooper having a colored weapon (one of 6 variants), I have a strong feeling that for 2022 we will see Chewbacca (with colored bowcaster) join in the multicolor madness.

Let it be stated, I have zero confirmation that it will be Chewie – just a feeling – but after some recent investigating in Target’s system, I do have strong evidence there is a new Prototype Edition figure code named “Eraser” for $13.99.

You may recall, based on our previous report, that Boba Fett had the code name “Chalk” and the Stormtrooper had the code name “Blackboard”, so “Eraser” fits rather nicely into this naming and pricing convention.

Obviously, no official information is known yet, so this is all speculation and rumor until then.

TVC Rumor Report: Another Deluxe TVC Exclusive?

Even though the blood isn’t dry on the last exclusive debacle with Target, this morning I did find evidence of another potential exclusive in their system. “Lawrence” is the code name for the as-of-yet unidentified item, but we do know the price ($26.49) and it falls in-line with the Walmart exclusive carded Deluxe TVC Mandalorian & Grogu (Maldo Kreis) “expression”.
