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.
Hunting through some overseas shipping info shows that the 6″ Black Series Han Solo in Carbonite figure is currently on the way to the U.S.. Judging by the destination, this shipment looks to be headed toward the East Coast for the orders placed through Hasbro Pulse.
Hasbro has opened up voting for the 6″ Black Series Archive Fans’ Choice poll on HasbroPulse.com. Choose (wisely) from 10 characters including, Commander Cody, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi (ROTS), Jango Fett, 501st Clone Trooper, Princess Leia (Jabba’s Prisoner), Ahsoka Tano (Star Wars Rebels), Princess Leia (Boushh Disguise), Greedo and Jyn Erso.
Hasbro Pulse has stepped up and opened preorders for the (former) Amazon exclusive Carbonized Darth Vader, Han Solo in Carbonite, and 4-LOM & Zuckuss two pack. Limit 1 each.
Tomorrow at 12PM ET, Hasbro Pulse will be livestreaming new product reveals and preorder info for new Black Series and Vintage Collection products. If you’ve been following our rumor reports over the past couple months, there won’t be too many surprises, if any.
May 1 at 12pm ET, Hasbro will have their first ever Fan First Friday livestream event on Hasbro Pulse Facebook. They will be sharing news about your favorite SW figure lines. Plus, there might be a couple preorders as well.
