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.

Last week we rumored an upcoming preorder for the next 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats figure and today, Hasbro officially announced that Zaalbar the Wookiee from KOTOR will open up for preorder tomorrow (Tuesday) at 1pm EDT at GameStop and will be available at this link.
Looks like there is a possibility of an 11th Black Series figure to join the reveals for tomorrow’s Hasbro Pulse event. As we mentioned before, there is another Gaming Greats Black Series figure that slots in between the Flametrooper 03 and the Nightbrother Warrior 05 figures. It should go up for preorders this week – probably on Thursday.
