For this weeks Bring Home the Galaxy, we get a pair of TVC reveals for the 40th Anniversary of Return of the Jedi. A reissue of the AT-ST with Chewbacca and the new Endor Bunker with carded Endor Rebel Commando (Scout Trooper Disguise). Look for these to go up for preorder tomorrow at 1pm ET.
Images have been officially released for next year’s TBS ROTJ 40 Wave 2 figures which include Chewbacca, Paploo, Bib Fortuna, The Emperor and Stormtrooper. You can check out these and loose photos at Gizmodo.
Preorders open tomorrow (11/30) at 1pm ET.
Looks like the Black Series Gamorrean Guard will indeed be making a return as a Deluxe figure for the Return of the Jedi 40th Anniversary line.
The card back also gives us a new look at Chewbacca featuring an updated head sculpt with collar and chain.
Thanks to @toyhideout on IG for the images.
