Hasbro has just announced via Instagram they they will be having their Hasbro Pulse Con on September 25 & 26 where they will be having new official reveals and exclusives from Star Wars, Marvel, Transformers, G.I.Joe and more.
I received some intel from a source today indicating that Target may be getting an exclusive TBS “Holiday Trooper” in October. If you recall, back in June, I posted the discovery of a “Holiday Trooper 5″ in Walmart’s system. Cross checking the two shows that they are different SKUS and not the same holiday trooper – whatever they are.
Secondly, another potential exclusive is also in their system and it’s coded as “Mando Berry”. “Berry” was the mystery code name for the Cara Dune figures for The Mandalorian. This new one has a different UPC/EAN code than the TBS #101 figure so again it sounds like something new.
Both are priced at $24.99. More info to come….
UPDATE: I hit my local Target this morning to get some first hand images of the upcoming figure via the self-service price scanner and a helpful team member.

According to a new shipping manifest update, it looks like cases of the 6″ Black Series Ahsoka’s Clone Trooper are currently en route to the U.S. months before their projected release date of Oct./Nov. Will orders fill early or is Hasbro trying to beat the end of year/holiday shipping rush to make sure product is stateside for their release?
This year’s Halloween-theme Droidfactory figure BB-B0020 has been revealed thanks to a couple listings on eBay. Judging by the packaging art, this figure is from the planet Pasaana from The Rise of Skywalker.
