Rumor Report: New 6″ Black Series Figure
There is one glaring absence in a certain crew of rebels that will be filled sometime in late 2019. If you’ve followed along with some of the other rumor articles or through various Black Series groups on Facebook, you’ll know the answer. If not, you won’t have to go far.
Star Wars Resistance “Bucket” Packaging Error
According to the StarWars Databank, the astromech Bucket’s official designation is R1-J5, but oddly on Hasbro’s packaging for the Jarek Yeager/Bucket two pack, it lists him as (R3-B7) on both the bubble insert and card back. I’d imagine a packaging variation/running change coming down the line in the future.
Walmart Clearances
If you’ve been at your local Walmart lately, you may have noticed that the toy aisles are resetting, clearing out the old, and making room for the new.
Among the clearance items you will likely find are products from Solo: A Star Wars Story, and you might want to scan them because the marked clearance price may not reflect the full markdown.

TVC for $7.50 @Kmart.com
Kmart.com has listed newer TVC figures for $7.50 – you can find the listing by clicking here.
UPDATE – Based on comments from collectors who have ordered from Kmart online, the experience hasn’t been great. Some have received poorly packaged figures and sometimes incorrect product. So… order at your own risk, and I’ll be sure to post a report once I receive my order (err… I mean… if I receive it) .

Hyper-Articulated Hips
As an adult 3.75″ collector since 1995, I’ve seen Hasbro approach figure articulation and aesthetics in many forms… and here were are almost 25 years later, and it seems in some ways, Hasbro has taken a step back with aesthetics (at least compared to figures from 10 years ago).
What I mean is articulation is needed – I love when figures have a wide range of ball joints – but there are some times when it feels as though Hasbro goes overboard, especially with how they are engineering the hips on figures now. In some cases, it’s fine – but it doesn’t seem like Hasbro is in the “Goldilocks Zone” anymore when it comes to articulation… it’s either too little (5poa style) , or too much.
Thoughts? Do you like the way these figures are designed these days, or to do prefer the style from about 10 years ago? Share your opinions here or in the forums!
