Amazon is now taking preorders for their two exclusive Black Series Gaming Greats 2pks.
Clone Commando (Urban Fighter)Â &Â B1 Battle Droid (Training)Â
The saga continues with the GameStop being the true phantom menace regarding their exclusive Black Series Duel of the Fates 3pk. Customers that preordered this are now receiving cancellation notifications. They are however still accepting preorders.
Entertainment Earth has site has updated showing the cancellation of the latest fan channel wave. This wave contains Aurra Sing, Lt. Callahan, Dr. Evazan, Snowtrooper and Chopper (Imperial Disguise). This doesn’t appear to affect individual preorders, ONLY the full case assortment. No word yet as to why this has happened or if this is just a technical glitch.
UPDATE: Entertainment Earth has confirmed through a customer chat that this case is indeed cancelled and the figures from it will only be sold as individual figures and distributed as solid cases of each figure.
Hasbro has announced the first releases to coincide with the “Gift the Galaxy” campaign: The Black Series Clone Commando & Battle Droid (Training) and Black Series Dagan Gera & BX Droid (Hybrid). Preorders launch tomorrow ($44.99 each) at 1pm ET exclusive at Amazon.

Hasbro has officially announced their participation in this year’s Gift the Galaxy promotion where every Tuesday (starting tomorrow) through December 17, they will be having weekly reveals for Black Series and Vintage Collection products. Stay tuned for more, but until then you can check out our Master List for previous pipeline reveals and rumored items that may/will debut.
First it was October 24, then November 4, then November 11 and now the latest release date for the Gamestop exclusive Black Series Duel of the Fates 3pk with Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Darth Maul is November 22. With all of the product arriving now just before the holidays, I wouldn’t be surprised if collectors started cancelling these in limbo preorders in favor of some of the newer product releases.
Another unannounced, but rumored figure the Black Series Range Trooper from Andor has surfaced courtesy of Vic Valencia once again. This (likely Target exclusive) figure is number 14 in the mural packaging sequence and that nearly confirms the placement for the unannounced Director Krennic at 13 and another unknown character at 15.
Hasbro will be revisiting the mash-up concept in 2025 with Star Wars MixMashers. As you may recall, they previously had a line called Hero Mashers which are essentially the same as these new figures. Parts can be mixed and matched across various figures and lines (Marvel and Transformers). Here is the descriptive copy to explain it further:
Mix and mash characters from across the galaxy to create unique and customized figures! Collectible MixMashers Star Wars figures feature parts and pieces that pull apart and mash together to create uniquely customized figures. With 16 connection points, 5-inch-scale (12 cm) MixMashers Star Wars action figures feature universal connectors for compatibility and durability across the entire line. Want even more mashed-up creations? Collect included accessories and power-up parts to create and customize figures your way! Look for more MixMashers toys for kids to collect or give as gifts for birthdays and holidays! (Each sold separately. Subject to availability.)
So far there are 6 characters to collect (2 deluxe, 4 basic) which include:
– Darth Vader (Deluxe)
– The Mandalorian & Grogu (Deluxe)
– Stormtrooper
– Darth Maul
– Boba Fett
– Chewbacca

A couple weeks ago we posted that the first shipments of the Haslab TVC Ghost had started to arrive in the U.S.. Now thanks to toyhideout on Instagram we have the first in hand look (of the box at least). Late December can’t get here soon enough.
