After searching through a couple thousand listings last night, I managed to locate info for two more basic role play masks (not helmets) for The Rise of Skywalker and The Mandalorian. Both are no-brainer releases of course but hopefully we see something a bit more upscale in the not too distant future. The UPCs and Walmart SKUs have been added to our Master List page.
DorksideToys has opened preorders for the new Black Series Boba Fett Helmet.
The digging continues today and has yielded info for what is described as a “SW RP Scream Saber“. This may be the super-secret lightsaber that was shown off at Star Wars Celebration Chicago last month. As a bit of a bonus, additional sleuthing turned up an IMDb profile for an actress (Aymee Michel) who posed as a packaging model for a product called the “Hasbro Scream Saber”.
Relevant UPC info has been added to the role play section of the Master List.
Finally, I managed to find several listings for 12″ Hero Series figures as well as role play items, when cross referenced with each other, they may confirm that Kylo Ren’s LFL product code name is “Olso”.

Hasbro has just revealed an upcoming augmented reality Iron Man role play helmet coming to support Avengers: Infinity War. Look for something similar to support the Star Wars line to be officially announced at Toy Fair (or sooner).
Looks like there will be more opportunities for kids to roleplay along with their favorite Forces of Destiny characters. I found a listing for a new “Force Crystal Lightsaber” via a foreign retailer. I’d expect it to start hitting retail sometime in the first quarter of 2018.
