Following up on our rumor from a couple weeks ago, Hasbro has officially announced the next GameStop Exclusive Gaming Greats figure as RC-1138 “Boss” from Star Wars: Republic Commando. Watch for preorders to open soon.
UPDATE: This figure has already arrived at the Hasbro Canada distribution center.
Confirming our rumor from a couple days ago, Target will be offering 3 Vintage Collection figures for Boba Fett, R2-D2 and C-3PO each in their Droids deco – and each one comes carded in special packaging with a collector coin! Links below – preorder tomorrow at 9am ET.
ShopDisney now has in stock their shared POTF2 Black Series exclusives featuring Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Greedo – priced at $24.99 each.
It looks like we will be getting another 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats figure in relatively short order as info for Gaming Greats figure 07 has been found in GameStop’s system. No word on the identity of the character or expected release date but as things are going, I suspect sometime in early 2022.
A few months ago, a listing for an exclusive Black Series figure surfaced at Target with the code name “Libra“. Since then, we’ve seen various Black Series figures released on commemorative cardback for the Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary. A bit of new information surfaced and it is possible that this figure is Boba Fett. It is known which Fett sculpt will be used but with the recent release of the new ROTJ figure that may be the most appropriate considering the what was releases for POTF2. It is also unknown if this will be on the orange or green card back. I suspect green to go with the recent Princess Leia Organa (Yavin 4) announcement.
Could this be what is being offered next week for Target’s Fall Geek-On on September 24?
Today, I received info on 3 new code names and from what I’m told they correlate to 3 upcoming Target Exclusive Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary Vintage Collection figures to commemorate the Star Wars Droids animated series. The 3 code names are as follows:
“Aquarius” – Boba Fett
“Pisces” – C-3PO
“Taurus” – R2-D2
It can be assumed that these will be redecos of existing molds and be carded on the TVC style card back with animated art from the cartoon used as the “film out” (like the Walmart Exclusive TVC Clone Wars figures). These figures retail for $15.99 each but it is unknown when they will be available for preorder or in-stores.
UPC, DPCI, TCIN info has been added to our Master List for these Droids figures
To clarify, these figures ARE NOT the “Periwinkle”, “Violet” and “Mauve” TVC figures we erroreously hinted at yesterday. These purple tinted codes tie to 3 different figures altogether. : )
A couple months ago, we reported on the discovery of an exclusive Vintage Collection figure listing at Target, code named “Periwinkle“. Additional searching has turned up two more with code names “Violet” and “Mauve“. All 3 of these have unique in-store DPCIs and retail for $13.99 each. There is currently no street date or expected arrival listed. I have heard rumblings of who these figures are but I am waiting for additional info to confirm them definitively. Stay tuned.
