Hasbro has uploaded new packaging shots for the upcoming TVC Tantive IV Corridor Playset including a look at the carded Rebel Fleet Trooper from Rogue One.
One final update tonight is the reveal of the Imperial Stormtrooper (Holiday Edition) courtesy of StarWarsPoodoo. This festive trooper is wearing an ugly Christmas sweater featuring an AT-AT and include a porg and vibro-axe.
StarWarsPoodoo also provides us a first look at the standard released of Cad Bane from The Black Series Wave 27. This is the same figure from the upcoming exclusive set sans TODO-360.
For those unable to acquired the Heroes of Endor set via Hasbro Pulse, here is the next best option as 3 of the 4 figures will be released in the Black Series Wave 27 as rumor for many months. StarWarsPoodoo on Instagram provides us our first look and Endor Luke, Han and Leia.
StarWarsPoodoo has also confirmed for us our rumor report that the Phase I Clone Trooper from Attack of the Clones would be returning to the Black Series line as part of Wave 27.
Last night, KyloCollector on Instagram posted the first look at a Carbonized TVC Mandalorian figure that was found at Target. The discovery confirms that these figures are the rumored “Gem” items on our Master List – this one being “EMERALD”. The figure itself gets a deco much like it Black Series counterpart and the iconic TVC cardback gets the foil treatment. The back of the card reveals the other figures in the assortment which include Cara Dune, Remnant Stormtrooper and the Death Trooper.
You may have missed our social media notifications via Instagram, Twitter and Patreon early this morning (especially those on the West Coast) you may have also missed the online release of the Walgreens exclusive 6″ Black Series Clone Trooper Lieutenant. It was available for a couple of hours but it started disappearing from carts and then the page was removed from Walgreens.com altogether. Luckily there have been a a lot of retail sightings as well so hopefully this won’t prove to be as difficult as their last Black Series release.
Instagram follower @clone_cooper_customs has provided us the first in-hand look at the upcoming 6″ Black Series Incinerator Trooper from The Mandalorian. As you can see, it closely matches the trooper’s design from the series and includes a nice flame effect tucked back behind the figure’s left arm.
Update: this release also confirms that the Incinerator Trooper is (03) in the series followed by The Armorer (04) as shown in the circled area on the back of the box.
