Our friends at TheFwoosh alert us to 3 new store exclusive Black Series going up for preorder tomorrow at 1pm EDT. Figures include:
Crosshair (Imperial) from The Bad Batch – Walmart
Captain Rex from The Bad Batch – Walmart
212th Battalion Clone Trooper from The Clone Wars – Walgreens
Sponsor DorksideToys is now taking preorders for Case, set and individual figures from the new Black Series Archive Wave 1 for 2021. This assortment includes Han Solo (Hoth – Brown Coat), Luke Skywalker (Hoth), Grand Admiral Thrawn and Clone Commander Cody.
There looks to be a running change for the new 6″ Black Series Clone Commander Bly figure. Initial releases neglected to include the brown stripe on the lower part of the helmet (under the frown). Instagram follower disneyland_bountyhunter sent in the image on the right showing the helmet with the corrected deco (date stamp 93431)
If this sounds familiar, the ROTS figure (III-57) also had this error and subsequent variant back in 2005.
A search through recently released shipping manifest data has revealed that the next wave of 6″ Black Series figures are currently en route to the US. Wave 24 breaks down as follows:
1x Luke Skywalker (Yavin Ceremony)
1x Count Dooku
1x Clone Commander Bly
1x Knight of Ren
2x Sith Jet Trooper
2x Zorii Bliss
Hasbro officially revealed 2 long rumored 6″ Black Series figures today at Comic-Con Dortmond: Clone Commander Bly and the Sith Jet Trooper. These two figures should round out wave 24 due Spring 2020. Watch for preorders to open soon.

Even with those stellar figures in collectors’ hands, they want more. I’ve discovered new info that will add 3 more characters – one from each film in the Prequel Trilogy.
