Thanks to some intel from WalmartGhost, it looks like there will be an the Incinerator TrooperTVC figure from The Mandalorian coming in the near future. No word on availability or exclusivity as of yet.
Sponsor DorksideToys has passed along final carded images for the upcoming Clone Commander Wolffe, Power Droid and Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper) figures from The Vintage Collection. As you can see, the fit and finish of the bubbles and the trays now reflect what we’ll see when these ship out to collectors and hit stores.
Yesterday, I teased the reveal of a bit of forthcoming Vintage Collection (TVC) news and now that I’ve some time, here it is. Five new TVC listings have turned up in Walmart’s system* . Interestingly, a new code naming theme has been introduced with this wave with the names of oceans. “Atlantic”, “Pacific”, “Indian”, and “Arctic”. The fifth name looks familiar as the “Omega” name (from The Mandalorian) has turned up in our prior Black Series rumor report. It’s a pretty safe bet that they are the same character, the question is, who is it?
*Note: these are NOT Walmart exclusives.

As a follow up to a tease I posted on Instagram back in March, I have now found an accessible link via the Walmart app to a listing for a new Vintage Collection playset to be revealed and released this year. It is not exclusive to Walmart (thank God) and isn’t a reissue of the POTF2 version. It is suspected to be the long-rumored Carbon Freezing Chamber playset from The Empire Strikes Back. Still no word as to how many (if any) figures it will include.
Update: It may include a single Stormtrooper and have electronics.
Hunting through some overseas shipping info shows that the 6″ Black Series Han Solo in Carbonite figure is currently on the way to the U.S.. Judging by the destination, this shipment looks to be headed toward the East Coast for the orders placed through Hasbro Pulse.
Amazon has sent out delay notifications to those who preordered the 6″ Black Series Carbonized Darth Vader and the 6″ Black Series 40th Anniversary Han Solo in Carbonite figures. The new anticipated release date is December 2020. No word yet if orders of these figure from Hasbro Pulse will suffer the same delay.
Amazon is now taking preorders for the 6″ Black Series Han Solo in Carbonite figure from the TESB 40th Anniversary Collection.
UPDATE: If you follow us on social media, you would have been some of the first to be alerted that The Bounty Hunter 2pk ($10 less than Hasbro Pulse) and Carbonized Darth Vader have been activated for preorder on Amazon.com.
