A listing on Amazon UK reveals another unannounced Retro Collection item with code name “End“. The recently announced Retro Collection Bounty Hunter 2pk had the code name “Center“. No price is listed but it does show a release date of September 1, 2022 and dimensions of 30mm x 226mm x 229mm (roughly 1″ x 9″ x 11.75”) – so it’s a different format from the two pack. Coincidentally, the Target exclusive Retro Collection “Eraser” Prototype figure also has a Sept. 1 street date.
Thanks to Mark T. for the heads-up.

It sounds like we were supposed to get a slew of Vintage Collection and Black Series preorders this week (yesterday specifically), but now that preorder event will be pushed to April 7. (It’s not like we’re short on preorders already). That’s said, we may still get a couple announcements prior to that. Stay tuned for more.
