Rogue Rumor: New Figure Two Packs
Rumour has it (ooh) we can expect a few more Rogue One (5 POA) action figure two packs — both of which may feature a trooper that seems to be all the rage right now. One of the sets includes a rebel pilot, the other, a “space monkey”? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

A Better Way to 5POA?
Like it or not, Hasbro’s probably not going to move away from 5POA for a while in the 3.75″ lineup. But, maybe there’s a better way for them to entice the market to purchase more of these figures.
Would a set of alternate arms be a good way to do this? For myself, yes, this would be a very fun way for Hasbro to make this product line much more appealing as it would help aleviate some of the frustrations with the 5POA concept.

Rumor Report: 4 “New” 3.75″ Black Series Figures
Stop. Rumor Time. We’ve received a tad bit of intel regarding a future (not necessarily the next) wave of 3.75″ Black Series figures coming to Walmart next year.
Without spilling the beans fully, I can hint that all four will probably be repacks; two of them are potential army builders, one is a very requested figure from the Original Trilogy offered briefly in the Vintage Collection and one is a perennial favorite.
Any guesses? Leave them in the comment section or forums and stay tuned for more vague rumors and cryptic writings (maybe even for Episode VIII) in the coming days.
