Walmart’s newest wave of exclusive TVC figures are now shipping via online orders. However, it seems it may be difficult to find cardbacks in pristine condition once again thanks to Walmart’s handling of their product.
Plus, be very careful with the Tusken Raider’s right hand… seems many copies of the figure suffer from the joint being fused, which means these may easily snap.
Hasbro has finally gotten around to announcing another Fan First Day which will be held next week on Wed. Sept. 8 at 11am ET. Watch for some new announcement, reveals and preorders to go up the following day.
JediInsider is reporting a rumor of a Deluxe Black Series Dark Trooper from The Mandalorian is coming (finally) sometime in 2022. Deluxe of course means a higher price point than the standard Black Series figure so that should put this figure in the $31-$35 dollar range.
No word as of yet for a Dark Trooper for the Vintage Collection.
We’ve been able to acquire the code name, DPCI, and TCIN for the upcoming Target Exclusive Vintage Collection Rogue One Antoc Merrick’s X-wing Fighter coming later this year.
Thanks to TargetGod for the assistance.
Hasbro has released a teaser video for their upcoming Hasbro Pulse Con 2021 announcing the livestream dates for October 22 & 23, 2021. This two-day event will feature product reveals, exclusive preorders, behind-the-scenes info from Star Wars, Marvel, G.I. Joe, Transformers, Power Rangers and more!
Today, Hasbro revealed via Instagram the packaging for both the TVC Rogue One Antoc Merrick X-wing Fighter as well as the carded pack-in Antoc Merrick figure. Look for this to be available exclusively at Target (US) later this year.
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.
Walmart Exclusive TVC Clone Wars ARC Trooper (Blue) is now up for preorder.
