Target will be featuring an aisle end cap for 40th Anniversary of the Star Wars the week of April 16. The reset should include wave 1 of the 6″ figures on the Vintage style card backs, the 6″ Vader Early Bird/Legacy Pack and more (including that exclusive POP! holographic Qui-Gon Jinn).
Thanks to TargetGod for the intel.
It also appears that the POP! Luke Skywalker (Hooded) figure that has been teased on the back the recent boxes will be a shared exclusive between Star Wars Celebration and GameStop. Again, look for a possible official confirmation later today.
It looks like Grand Admiral Thrawn from Star Wars Rebels will soon be getting the POP! treatment from Funko as a leak from Toys”R”Us has a listing for the blue-skinned Chiss. This figure is also rumored to be shared exclusive with Star Wars Celebration. Look for a possible official announcement later today.
Thanks to MTFBWY’s Facebook group for the alert.
A discovered DPCI (087-06-2181) has confirmed that the Star Wars Celebration Exclusive POP! Holographic Qui-Gon Jinn will be a shared exclusive with Target. It will of course not have the “Star Wars Celebration” sticker. Look for it on shelves April 16.
