VC184 The Child

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.

We have also been able to determine the internal code names for each and they are “OVAL”, “OCTAGON” and “CIRCLE” respectively.

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.
