Here is our first in-hand look at the newly announced Gamestop exclusive 6″ Black Series Imperial Senate Guard (Gaming Greats) figure from The Force Unleashed.
Thanks to Instagram follower sjtoyphotography for the images.
Today’s Bring Home the Bounty has revealed that the next Gaming Greats figure (08) will be the Imperial Senate Guard from The Force Unleashed. Preorders open tomorrow at 1pm ET at GameStop.
I previously speculated that this would be the Shadow Guard based on the artwork used on the Republic Commando packaging.
What do you think? Is this a better option than we surmised or a let down?
UPDATE: Now available
As a follow-up to last month’s report of another upcoming Black Series Gaming Greats figure, Twitter follower Phil M. send word that he was able to order a SW BL Gaming Greats 8 figure recently GameStop in Canada. Look for the figure to be revealed soon.
Note: The blue arrow in the image above is pointing to the figure’s hand in question, not Boss’s helmet.
GameStop is now taking preorders for the exclusive 6″ Black Series RC-1138 “Boss” (Gaming Greats) figure.
On the packaging for today’s freshly revealed TBS Republic Commando “Boss” figure, you can just make out the next figure (08) in the Gaming Greats series. The side art panel shows a gloved, armored trooper of some type wielding a melee weapon of some sort. Feel free to leave your guesses in the comments.
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.
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.
