For TVC collectors eagerly awaiting the Ahsoka wave, Hasbro’s distribution center is receiving large shipments of retail case assortments as well as solid cases of each figure.
As a follow up to our report earlier this week, I was able to find the code names for the two new Carbonized Vintage Collection figures as well as locate a third with each having geometric angle codes: “Acute”, “Right” and “Obtuse”. Also of interest, these are shipping to distribution centers NOW.
Update: price on these is $18.97 each
Over the weekend, I received information for at least two new 6″ Black Series Credit Collection figures – Moff Gideon and The Armorer – coming at some point this year. As you recall, these figures are simple repaints of existing figures made to emulate their concept art shown at the end of each episode of The Mandalorian and released on Vintage-style cardbacks. No word yet as to which retailer(s) they’ll be offered.
Note: the art above may or may not be used as the basis of the figure’s deco and card art.

We’ve read and have been receiving reports of the newest wave of Vintage Collection figures (Ahsoka, ARC Trooper Echo, Offworld Jawa) has started hitting Target including stores in Maryland, North Carolina and Florida. Let us know if you find them as well.
Thanks to Joseph G. for the image (and for picking these up for me).
Hasbro has official announced the three exclusives slated for release at Hasbro Pulse Con later this fall.
The Black Series Power of the Force Cantina Showdown pays tribute to the 50th Anniversary of Lucasfilm by recreating the Power of the Force Cinema Scene style packaging for Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ponda Baba (with swappable flipper hands) and Dr. Evazan. Instead of the simple cardboard backdrop, it includes components of the cantina itself which as able to connect to other section for expandability. Price $104.99
The Black Series Trapper Wolf (X-wing Pilot) from The Mandalorian inmortalizes Dave Filoni’s character in plastic form in a slipcase packaging style similar to the exclusiveThe Armorer and Cad Bane releases. Sadly, no signature cowboy hat is included. Price: $29.99
The Vintage Collection Emperor’s Throne Room gives us the long-awaited TVC Emperor Palpatine as well has his iconic throne with window, all packed in a Vintage Kenner-style box. Price: $31.99
No specific date has been set for preorder or release but it’s a good bet that Pulse Premium Members will get first crack at these when the time comes. Click the links above for additional images and details.
It appears that the next potential exclusive for SDCC/Hasbro Pulse is Vintage Collection related and features the long-awaited Emperor Palpatine with Throne. If this is true, it may explain the why the rumored figure has been held back from being revealed with its other case mates for it to debut in this set.
