If you were holding out hope for the long rumored TBS Rebels reissues panning out – here’s the proof (including Zeb) as shown by the GameStop system. Also shown TVC Hondo & Fives – thanks to toyshiz and gthec0ollect0r the pics.
Update: GameStop has changed the names of the figures to generic listing using “SW BL #” to correlate with the previously posted list. I have posted above a guide to which figure is which and included the GameStop sku in case you plan on visiting your store and placing a preorder (where applicable).
Update 2: Zeb has now been updated in GameStop’s system to read as “SW BL 1”
Thank you Hasbro for not printing “Kay-Tuesso” in the name pill.
Hasbro has released a card mock up today for K-2SO from the Vintage Collection as part of their new Fan First Friday promotion. Each Friday, they will be revealing details, fun facts and videos about products (not limited to Star Wars), artists and even new preorders when applicable. They also officially acknowledged the TVC Wolffe and Power Droid card mock ups revealed recently. Click the image above for a closer look.
Some interesting new rumors have developed tonight via a new list that was published but Jedi Insider. With that info in hand I took a crack finding info for these figures and low and behold I found corroboration for some of those plus others. In all, there are 15 new Black Series figure listings from The Clone Wars, Rogue One, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and The Mandalorian for your review. Click on through for the “proof” courtesy of Walmart’s app.
Update: The page of figures listed at JediInsider has been removed.
This coming weekend, Hasbro will be having their annual off-site presentation for Toy Fair 2020 in New York. Things have been quiet on the rumor front for the Vintage Collection for a while but hopefully we get official confirmations of some past and newly rumored items for the line. Recently, a Nebraska specialty retailer leaked word of possible update to the previous Amazon exclusive TVC Slave I, there’s also the long-standing rumor of a certain Bespin playset in the cards for 2020. A little Bothan told me that we may even see the reveal of 6 “new” TVC figures that represent characters from The Clone Wars, Rogue One, A New Hope and Return of the Jedi. These rumored figures are a mix of all new sculpts, repaints as well as repacks of recently released figures.
Also revealed yesterday at Manga Barcelona was the Vintage Collection Remnant Stormtrooper from The Mandalorian. This figure utilizes the excellent Rogue One Imperial Stormtrooper sculpt and features a weathered deco.
If our info is correct, this Trooper is the figure codenamed “DUCK” in our Master List of UPCs/SKUs. Interestingly, that would also support our theory that the upcoming TVC “DUCKBOAT” vehicle is directly related to this figure and is may be a new Troop Transport which would be quite awesome considering Jon Favreau’s affinity for designs and concepts from the Original Trilogy and EU/Legends.
If you are looking to bolster your Death Trooper ranks in preparation for The Mandalorian or missed out on them when first issued on the TVC card back, sponsor DorksideToys has added them back to their site for preorder. Look for them to start arriving toward the end of July.
I managed to track down carded glam shot images for the Vintage Collection Wave 7 which includes Luke Skywalker (Crait), R2-D2 (ANH), Imperial Assault Tank Commander (Rogue One) and Death Star Gunner (Rogue One). Click on through for a closer look.
