Shipments for the upcoming 6″ Black Series Darth Nihilus Gaming Greats figure have started arriving in warehouses in Canada for release next month as well as cases of the upcoming Black Series “Bobby” (IG-11) figure for the yet-to-be-announced Credit Collection. I imagine the latter will be revealed next week at Hasbro Pulse Con.
In a surprise reveal (and confirmation of a previous rumor), GameStop is now taking preorders for their exclusive 6″ Black Series Darth Nihilus (Gaming Greats) figure from KOTOR. Expected released date in Oct. 26. Thanks to figurebrian on Instagram for the heads up.
If you follow us on social media (Instagram and Twitter), or are a Patreon subscriber, you received notification of this figure’s availability prior to our post here.
Originally rumored back in June, Instagram follower @anerdydad has shared the first look at the 6″ Black Series Electrostaff Purge Trooper that is exclusive to Gamestop (US) and EBGames (Canada).
The June 5th rumor of there being a Gaming Greats release of Jango Fett (Bounty Hunter) for the Black Series line has been confirmed thanks to new images released by Hasbro and passed on to us via Instagram follower figurebrian.
Update: available for preorder now at GameStop.
EBGames Canada Update: It looks like they are also taking preorders for a Gaming Greats Jango Fett (from Bounty Hunter?) and the popular Purge Trooper from Jedi Fallen Order – thanks to Gord P. on Instagram for the skus.
The 6″ Black Series “Gaming Greats” subline of figures may have a few more surprises left. According to @t0ytime on Instagram, EBGames in Canada is currently taking preorders for a Darth Nihilus figure from KOTORII. GameStop is the likely distributor of this figure in the U.S.
Preorders for the GameStop Exclusive (US) 6″ Black Series Stormtrooper Commander Gaming Greats figure from The Force Unleashed are now starting to process and charges are being seen on customer’s bank statements. Keep an eye on your order(s) for notifications.
If you were holding out hope for the long rumored TBS Rebels reissues panning out – here’s the proof (including Zeb) as shown by the GameStop system. Also shown TVC Hondo & Fives – thanks to toyshiz and gthec0ollect0r the pics.
Update: GameStop has changed the names of the figures to generic listing using “SW BL #” to correlate with the previously posted list. I have posted above a guide to which figure is which and included the GameStop sku in case you plan on visiting your store and placing a preorder (where applicable).
Update 2: Zeb has now been updated in GameStop’s system to read as “SW BL 1”
If you caught our social media posts about 90 minutes ago (12:25 am CST), you were notified on the opening of preorders for the GameStop Exclusive 6″ Black Series Stormtrooper Commander “Gaming Greats” figure. No release date is given, but if you’re looking to secure one (or more) this is your best bet for now.
And, watch for more Hasbro preorders to launch soon….
