As a follow up to a previous report, it looks like preorders will be opening soon for the 4 rumored fan channel exclusive TVC Gaming Greats figures as a couple of them have surfaced in GameStop’s system. Watch for an official announcement and preorders within a few weeks.
As a follow up to our previous report, it appears the preorders for the 3 fan channel exclusive Marvel comic-based Black Series figures will be coming soon as they are now in GameStop’s system with code names*: “February“, March” and “April“. Watch for an official announcement and preorders in the next few weeks.

Here is a list of outstanding preorders accumulated so far for Vintage Collection (33), Retro Collection (7) and Black Series (33) items. If you’ve preordered (at least one of) everything, the list is substantial in length and price*.
As a follow-up to our report from last week, it is rumored that the 3 figures comprising the rest of the Marvel comic-themed fan channel Black Series figures include Princess Leia, Darth Vader (Redeemed) and Sargeant Kreel. Thanks to figurebrian on Instagram for the heads up.
UPDATE: Code names added for each (note, the month names are codes, not their release dates)
With the recent announcement of Black Krrsantan (code name “January”) and the discovery of code name “September” a few weeks ago for the Black Series line, we think we can safely report the preorder of 4 Lucasfilm Publishing figures this year. This would mirror last year’s fan channel release of 4 comic-based sets for Lucasfilm’s 50th Anniversary campaign. Hopefully the remaining 3 will be better received than Black Krrsantan.
