A Different TBS “Alien” Available on Force Friday?

Jayson — Tue, 08 Aug 2017 13:36:16 +0000

As Yoda said, “Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future.” but we now believe that the “alien” in wave 2 of the 6″ Black Series may in fact be someone else entirely and NOT Chewbacca as we previously theorized. Click on through to check out the latest development as we prepare for Force Friday 2 and beyond.

Based on the code names attributed to each character (in the Black Series and basic 3.75″ lines) and some recent images we’ve seen, there’s a strong possibility that “Alien 1” is in fact Maz Kanata who was just revealed at SDCC. We hope to get additional confirmation on this soon.

Also regarding the divisive look of the Elite Praetorian Guard that is also a part of wave 2, it looks MUCH cooler as a Black Series figure, and it is of a different design than the Jakks “Big Fig” Elite Guard that we’ve all seen floating around for a while now.

Another TLJ Two Pack on the Way for Force Friday

Jayson — Tue, 01 Aug 2017 20:46:46 +0000

After searching all day, I can clearly say that you’ll soon be able to play with this 5POA bae in grey. But keep your guard up kids, don’t fall prey and overpay as were only a month away from Force Friday.

Force Friday II Black Series Update

Jayson — Mon, 31 Jul 2017 15:54:24 +0000

A couple weeks ago, we posted a preliminary leaked list of possible 6″ Black Series figure planned for release for Force Friday II. In light of the recent 3.75″ leaks and the attributed code names, we think we can clearly determine who is who and who is NOT coming in the initial launch. Click on through for the updated list.

Again, nothing is official until confirmed by Hasbro or leaked product continues hitting shelves (whichever comes first).

Wave 1 and 2 consist of 8 figure case packs:

Wave 1:
2x Darth Vader (Episode IV – 40AC repack)
1x Foxtrot 1 – Rey (Episode VIII)
1x Cool Beta – Luke Skywalker (Episode VIII)
1x Kylo Ren (Episode VIII)
1x Grand Admiral Thrawn (Star Wars Rebels – SDCC repack)
1x Hera Syndulla (Star Wars Rebels)
1x Stormtrooper (TBS “Orange” #09/40AC repack)

Wave 2:
1x Snowtrooper (Wave 9 repack)
1x AT-AT Driver (Wave 9 repack)
1x Beta 1 – Poe Dameron (Episode VIII)
1x Victor 1 – Kylo Ren (Episode VIII) – wave 1 carry forward
1x Alpha 1 – Maz Kanata
1x Victor Guard 2 – Elite Praetorian Guard (Episode VIII)
1x General Leia (Episode VII)
1x Beta 2 – Finn (Episode VIII)

UPDATE 7/31: Victor 2 above has been replaced by Alpha 1 (speculated to be Chewbacca)

UPDATE 8/8: Alpha 1 above has been determined to possibly be Maz Kanata

As we continue to gather details for Force Friday II in September, we’ve managed to assemble a preliminary “rumor” list of two waves of Black Series figures slated for release starting Sept 1. Wave 1 has been nailed down for a while but Wave 2 has some “newness” to it.
