Based on some searching last night, I have been able to determine that cases of the Walmart Exclusive TVC Paploo “Oval” figure have arrived in the U.S. Hopefully this means the other two (Endor Leia and AT-ST Driver) are not too far behind and they will be up for order soon.
UPDATE: preorder for new TVC items will launch on March 15 at 1pm ET – thanks to Chad R. For the alert.
Yesterday as part of the Fan Celebration event, Hasbro revealed the official images for the upcoming TVC figures for IG-11 from The Mandalorian and Lando Calrissian from The Empire Strikes Back and both look fantastic! Look for these figures later this year with two figures from Return of the Jedi.
Here is another Target store find of the latest wave of Vintage Collection figures. These were found in Fishers, IN.
Thanks to my friend TatooineSandworm for the image. Loose images to follow soon.
UPDATE: Loose shots added – brace yourself for Leia – her iconic hairstyle has been done a disservice.

Yakface Reader Mike N. shared these new in-hand shots of the next wave of TVC figures that have apparantly started to hit Target in AZ and were listed on eBay and Mercari. The VC numbering is a follows:
VC184 The Child
VC185 Greef Karga
VC186 Boba Fett
VC187 Leia (Bespin Escape)
VC189 Zutton
Also note the image card back for Boba Fett is the corrected version with the yellow accent color and the zoomed out shot for the reference image.
Recent shipping information shows that cases of the 6″ Deluxe Boba Fett (ROTJ) has started to arrive at Hasbro’s warehouse in Canada. Hopefully an image of the final production piece surfaces soon.
StarWars-Figuren has posted card back images of the 3 Walmart exclusive figures coming later this year. And they confirm the VC numeration for them as well as design changes which incorporte the 50th Anniversary timeline as previously seen on the newer Black Series Archive waves. The numbers breakdown as follows:
VC190 Paploo
VC191 Princess Leia (Endor)
VC192 AT-ST Driver
We have also been able to determine the internal code names for each and they are “OVAL”, “OCTAGON” and “CIRCLE” respectively.
Amazon has sent out status updates to those who preordered the 6″ Black Series Deluxe Boba Fett (ROTJ) with new expected availability date of February 5!
Thanks to all who emailed and messaged us with the news.
Hasbro just wrapped their Fan First Friday Livestream and there were some pretty nice surprises (for once) along with some disappointments.

Reports are coming in that the newest repack/reissue wave of TVC figures has started to hit Walmarts across the U.S. For long time collectors these sculpts are probably in your collections already, but the human figures have been updated with Hasbro’s PhotoReal process and the card backs are different than previously released.
As mentioned on Hasbro’s last Fan First Friday, they’ve gone back and tweaked the cardback for the upcoming TVC Boba Fett (ROTJ) figure to more closely match the original Kenner release. The accent color has been adjusted to yellow and the reference photo has been zoom out for a “better” look at the character. The first orange version (left above) will be available initially then replaced as a running change.
