Retro Rumor Report: Who Is the Next Prototype Edition Figure?

2022 will continue Target’s annual trend started in 2019 of offering an exclusive Retro Collection Prototype Edition figure. So far, we have Darth Vader, Boba Fett and Imperial Stormtrooper – question is: who will be next? Precedent shows that it will most certainly utilize an existing mold and with the 2021 Stormtrooper having a colored weapon (one of 6 variants), I have a strong feeling that for 2022 we will see Chewbacca (with colored bowcaster) join in the multicolor madness.

Let it be stated, I have zero confirmation that it will be Chewie – just a feeling – but after some recent investigating in Target’s system, I do have strong evidence there is a new Prototype Edition figure code named “Eraser” for $13.99.

You may recall, based on our previous report, that Boba Fett had the code name “Chalk” and the Stormtrooper had the code name “Blackboard”, so “Eraser” fits rather nicely into this naming and pricing convention.

Obviously, no official information is known yet, so this is all speculation and rumor until then.

Rumor Report: Another Retro Item For This Year?

It appears that there is at least one more Retro Collection item planned for this year. A search last night turned up results for an item called “SW RETRO BLACKBOARD” and it’s currently shipping to the U.S.. As you may recall, the recent Target exclusive Prototype Edition Boba Fett has the code name “SW RETRO CHALK” – it is unknown if this is a figure or other item like the previous games with a figure pack-in. Maybe we’ll hear about it tomorrow at Hasbro Fan First Wednesday.
