Hot on the heels of yesterday’s reveal, the Black Series Wedge Antilles Battle Simulation Helmet (code names “Couch” & “Hazelnut’) has already reached Hasbro’s distribution warehouse in California as well as GameStop’s warehouse in Kentucky. Like a lot of product in recent months, this may reach collectors prior to its estimated released date of June 2021.
You can preorder this helmet now from our sponsors Entertainment Earth and DorksideToys.
Today we get our first in-hand look at the upcoming Deluxe 6″ Black Series Boba Fett from Return of the Jedi thanks to Star Action Figures in the UK.
If you ordered from GameStop, keep an eye on your account as orders are starting to ship.
As we indicated on Tuesday, Hasbro will be reissuing the 6″ Black Series Imperial Jump/Rocket Trooper as a Gaming Greats figure this week – this time with the alternate deco from Battlefront II. Preorders will open tomorrow at 1pm ET exclusively in-store and online at GameStop.com in the U.S. and at EBGames in Canada.
Keep an eye on GameStop as there may be a new 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats figure popping up in the next few days (if not today). Back when the Cal Kestis was announced, we noticed that on the packaging it appeared to tease some version of the previous Imperial Jumptrooper. This new/repaint figure should be 01 in the line of Gaming Greats figures for 2021, with Cal Kestis being number 02.
We will make a separate post when the preorders open.
If you have a Gamestop store in your neck of the woods, it might be worth your time to see if they have any TVC X-Wings in stock – their Daily Deal has this item with an incredible markdown… only $18.99 + tax.
It appears that the packaging for the new Cal Kestis (Gaming Greats) figure reveals the possible reissue of the Battlefront Jumptrooper for the Gaming Greats subline.
There is a rumor circulating on the Black Series Canada Facebook group of an EB Games listing (758481) for a 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats Cal Kestis figure ($44.99). No word yet on what skin/outfit it may utilize but, if true, I’d imagine the ponchoed look and possibly a recolor of BD-1.
UPDATE: Images of this figure have now been revealed via Mephitsu.co.uk
Here is the GameStop SKU and Price: #236078 / $29.99
UPDATE 2: Now available on GameStop.com
