Hasbro has just announced via Instagram they they will be having their Hasbro Pulse Con on September 25 & 26 where they will be having new official reveals and exclusives from Star Wars, Marvel, Transformers, G.I.Joe and more.
Indemandytoys.co,uk has posted the first look at the rumored Convention Exclusive 6″ Black Series Cad Bane with TODO 360 set. Watch for preorder to launch in the US soon. Cad Bane will also be available as part of the regular Black Series assortment later this year.
UPDATE: StarWarsCollector.com has posted word that this will be available in the US on October 1.
Yahoo.com has gotten the exclusive official reveal of the upcoming 6″ Black Series Heroes of Endor Set that was originally rumored back in June.
CNET has also revealed the TVC 501st Legion ARC Trooper Special Action Figures set also slated as a Hasbro Pulse Exclusive for September. Set is priced at $50 and as a note, this version of Fives is the one that is single packed in the upcoming wave with Hondo.
This confirms the discovery of an upcoming clone trooper pack back in June via JTPrime. (THERE IS NO TBS CLONE PACK).
Confirming our previous report, ScreenRant has posted official details of the upcoming Hasbro Pulse exclusive 6″ Black Series Wampa – originally intended as this year’s SDCC exclusive. It will be through HasbroPulse this September for $29.99.
Searching my usual sources this morning, I found evidence of an upcoming (unannounced) SDCC exclusive 6″ Black Series Wampa that is currently shipping to Canada. This item should be officially announced soon and be available through Hasbro Pulse.
If you placed a pre-order for the Black Series Han Solo (Carbonite) figure from Hasbro Pulse, be on the lookout for shipping notifications.
To my surprise, mine showed up on my doorstep today!
This morning we found evidence via overseas shipping info for an upcoming Convention Exclusive Black Series Cad Bane from The Clone Wars. The item is listed as “E96345L00 12 PCS SW BL CONVENTION EXCL CA D BANE STAR WARS”. This item should be available through Hasbro Pulse at a later date. Watch for an official announcement soon.
Fellow product sleuther, JTPrime has found evidence of an upcoming exclusive Hasbro Clone Trooper pack currently en route to the U.S. Like previous convention exclusives*, they are initially available at shows like SDCC but also available through Hasbro Pulse. It is unclear what scale this is, but I’d bet on this being a Black Series item.
As for Vintage (TVC) product news, stay tuned.
*Obviously, there are no conventions planned in the short term so these will likely go directly to online sales.
Word is that Hasbro will be officially announcing/launching several new preorders tomorrow for the Black Series line and, if my count is accurate, it could be more than a dozen products. Hasbro Pulse did mention a few weeks ago via a comment on Instagram that the wave with The Mandalorian in Beskar Armor would be available for order on May 28. One could assume that the entire wave will be available (and then some).
The question is, will there be any major surprises? I can think of one and it’s long overdue.
