A couple weeks ago, we told you about the “Cheetah” animal code name discovered as part of the upcoming slate of 2021/2022 Black Series figures. We can now add “Elephant” and “Elk” to the growing list of mystery figures. Thanks to Irwin for the heads up.
Hasbro is continuing on with those minimally articulated “value” figures with the release of The Child with Hover Pram and The Mandalorian. Instagrammer talkingnerdywithdm reports finding trays of these near the checkout of a Walmart in Utah. The tray also includes repacks of Darth Vader, Han Solo, Jedi Luke Skywalker, C-3PO and the First Order Stormtrooper. Priced at $4.98 each.
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.
Hasbro sprung a nice surprise on TVC collectors at today;s Hasbro Fan Fest presentation with the reveal of the TVC General Merrick X-wing Fighter with Antoc Merrick from Rogue One. This will be available exclusively through Target in the US.
ToysRus.ca jumped the gun a bit and has posted images for a couple rumored TVC Gaming Greats figures including the Shadow Stormtrooper from The Force Unleashed and the Heavy Battle Droid from Battlefront II.
As announced at today’s Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest Preview for Hasbro Premium Members, Hasbro will be launching a fans choice poll for one of the five figures above to be reissued from “the vault”. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
Word is that there will be a new, previously unrumored, Black Series figure revealed soon as part of the Hasbro Fan Fest. Leave your guesses in the comments as to whom it may be. I’ve already given one hint.
