Hasbro has revealed a few new figures for the Black Series and Vintage Collection at this year’s Manga Barcelona con in Spain. Our long-standing rumors of the 6″ Count Dooku and Geonosis Battle Droidwere officially confirmed and they unveiled another group of Vintage Collection repacks/repaints consisting of Anakin Skywalker (The Clone Wars), Obi-Wan Kenobi (The Clone Wars), Wicket and Darth Maul (The Phantom Menace). These join the other repacks/repaints revealed at the Lucca Comic & Games convention which were Han Solo (Bespin), Luke Skywalker (Bespin), General Lando Calrissian and C-3PO.

It’s been a while since we’ve posted any rumors, but over the past couple days I’ve heard that there are a few more Jedi characters in the works for the 6” Black Series line. I must admit that the reveal of Anakin (AOTC) and Obi-Wan (AOTC) last weekend was a bit of a surprise considering Dooku has been rumored for so long. Just to be clear, I have heard of at least two of the Jedi pictured above on tap for 2020, that doesn’t necessarily mean there won’t be more.
This past weekend there were plans to show another TVC vehicle at one of the conventions but it was pulled from reveals at the last minute. As evidence of this fact, BBTS had the “Duckboat” listing as part of their preorder email newsletter announcement this morning (shown above) but it currently directs to a dead link.
Without revealing the full details to protect my source(s), I can say that this is the TVC vehicle from The Mandalorian for 2020 that has been on our list for a few months and it’s “Imperial” in nature. No word yet as to when it will be officially revealed or available for preorder.
We’ve received a couple reports of new 6″ Black Series figures hitting Walmart stores on the east coast. Wave 23 consists of Luke Skywalker (Yavin), Cara Dune, Wedge Antilles, First Order Jet Trooper, and Jannah
Hasbro’s latest reveals from MCM Comic-Con today confirm our long standing rumors of a New 6” Black Series Knight of Ren and Zorii Bliss from The Rise of Skywalker plus the Vintage Collection titular character, The Mandalorian.

Note: the Knight of Ren figure above may in fact be a TVC figure as those knee joints don’t look like those from 6” Black Series figures. This could be a mixup like what happened when the 6” Sith Trooper was revealed. (update: a clearer pic has surfaced and this is a 6” image)
Hasbro revealed a few new figures today at Comic-Con Paris including 2 new Black Series figures: Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker from Attack of the Clones, and officially revealed the Vintage Collection Cara Dune from The Mandalorian figure. You can check out some images over at our friends at Fantha Tracks Facebook page.
We’re getting closer to the premier of The Mandalorian series, and some more Hasbro related items connected to the show will be coming in the near future.
So… how about a Blurrg? Would you be interested in seeing Hasbro introduce this into their TVC lineup? Or TBS? Or… both? Share your thoughts after the jump!
Note: The toy Blurrg shown above is a 3.75″ scale custom sculpted piece by Owen Driscoll, circa 2002.
JediBusiness has posted official word that the mystery 6″ Black Series figure bundled with the game Jedi: Fallen Order is in fact the Purge Trooper, as long speculated. The figure will also be available for purchase separately starting November 15.
Update: Added a scan from the upcoming Holiday Gift Guide showing the figure for $22.99
