Hasbro has posted an update regarding four of the five Retro Collection Indiana Jones figures announced yesterday. Short Round (TOD), Indiana Jones (TOD), Henry Jones Sr. (TLC) and Sallah (TLC) and the Adventure Series Indiana Jones (Map Room) and Kazim. All are Target exclusives.
Hasbro today has revealed 5 new Retro Collection figures for their Indiana Jones line! Figures include Indiana Jones (Temple of Doom), Short Round (Temple of Doom), Indiana Jones (The Last CrusadeThe Last Crusade), Sallah (The Last Crusade) and Henry Jones Sr. (The Last Crusade). Like the Star Wars brand, no preorders are being taken for these in the near future.
TVC Wave 13 is in stock at sponsor Entertainment Earth – use code YAKFACE at checkout for 10% off and FREE shipping.
While Hasbro has cutback on the number of new preorders, you can still get some of the new figures shown this week by preordering the existing TVC Wave 15 at sponsor Entertainment Earth.
TVC Wave 15 breakdown:
2x Cassian Andor – Aldhani Mission (Andor)
2x Hunter (The Bad Batch)
1x Clone Trooper – Phase II Armor (Andor)
1x Admiral Piett (Return of the Jedi)
1x Starkiller – Vader’s Apprentice – (The Force Unleashed)
1x Cal Kestis (Jedi Survivor) – carry forward/repack from wave 13
Hasbro has issued a statement regarding future preorders and product releases. I think this is a good thing until release dates, distribution and fulfillment of existing preorders (in the past there have sometimes been near 100 outstanding preorders) can be sorted out.
Hasbro held their first Star Wars fanstream for 2023 and announced several Vintage Collection, Black Series and Retro Collection items as well as Pipeline Reveals. Click on through for the galleries. (No preorders will be offered this week for any of the items).

Recent shipping data shows cases of TVC reissues are starting to arrive in California. Figures include Kithaba, Nikto and Wooof. No sign yet of Saelt Marae (Yak Face).
According to some new Retro Collection code names I have found, there may be a third Retro Collection wave for this year. We know officially that there is the Return of the Jedi wave and we also know of a second wave rumored to be from the Ahsoka series. The source material for this new group of 7 code names is currently unknown but one may guess they could be from The Mandalorian season 3.
Hasbro has announced their next Star Wars Fanstream for new Vintage Collection and Black Series announcements/reveals will be held on February 1 at 11am ET. Word on the holonet is there will be a lot of complaining and pitting the scales against each other.
Sponsor Entertainment Earth has listed on their Drop Zone page a teaser for an upcoming preorder in February. The language “enlist” and “batch” seems to suggest something The Bad Batch related and will likely be the Vintage Collection Hunter from the already solicited TVC Wave 15 with Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission) and Cal Kestis (Jedi Survivor). No word on if there will be anything else dropping that day but we will update when/if we learn more. Thanks to bac for the heads up.
Update: I’m reminded of the fact that there was a Black Series Omega from Season 2 pipelined back in October for MCM Comic Con, so she could be possible preorder as well.
