Additional evidence supporting our original 6″ Deluxe (D3) Imperial Probe Droid rumor as been found after I was scanning through a few codes via the Walmart app. The product page for the as-of-yet unannounced figure is live on Walmart.com and the app but you obviously can’t order it yet. To be clear, THIS IS NOT A WALMART EXCLUSIVE. Our Master List page has been updated with the pertinent info.
Check your local Targets for restocks of the highly sought after (and scalped) exclusive 6″ Black Series Carbonized Mandalorian. My local store (Maple Grove, MN) replenished with 3 cases over night. Helmet nod to a couple collectors I got the chance to speak with this morning as well.
New York Toy Fair is a little over a month away and if you remember, it was a year ago today that we posted the rumor about the scale change to the new 5″ Galaxy of Adventures figures that replaced the standard “5 POA” basic figure line. As we look to 2020, there is rumbling that there may be another line/scale of figures and vehicles coming for the Star Wars brand from Hasbro. If you’re a fan of the 3.75″ Vintage Collection, 6″ Black Series, and/or 8″ Black Series Hyperreal this new line probably won’t interest you. If you (or your kids) are a fan of the stylized Galaxy of Adventures line it may, but again, this is something different than that too. More details to come as they are uncovered and corroborated.
As for new TVC and TBS products, I’ve heard nothing yet about additional figures/vehicles for The Rise of Skywalker, The Mandalorian or The Clone Wars aside from what we’ve already speculated and posted about in our rumor reports. The month is still young and I hope to uncover more info in the lead up to NY Toy Fair.
This episode is our annual look at the best and worst Star Wars toys of the year. We are once again joined by Jayson at Yakface.com. We also give our thoughts on The Mandalorian Disney+TV series and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the final film in the Skywalker Saga ***Movie & TV Spoilers are in this episode***.
For those holding out on clearance for the Target Exclusive TVC Cave of Evil 3pk, keep an eye out at your local stores as some locations have them marked down as low as $11.98. I picked up a few this morning at my local Fridley, MN store. Your mileage may vary of course.
As we close out another year of rumors for 2019, I thought I’d leave one more reveal breaking down (all?) the figures planned for the 40th Anniversary Collection of 6″ Black Series figures. Click on through for the list of 12 13.
