Instagram follower @clone_cooper_customs has provided us the first in-hand look at the upcoming 6″ Black Series Incinerator Trooper from The Mandalorian. As you can see, it closely matches the trooper’s design from the series and includes a nice flame effect tucked back behind the figure’s left arm.
Update: this release also confirms that the Incinerator Trooper is (03) in the series followed by The Armorer (04) as shown in the circled area on the back of the box.
Several new 6″ Black Series code names have been revealed via the Walmart app. These names continue the trend of U.S. states and cities being used to mask the identities of the characters themselves. These figures should be released well into 2021 and as of now it is unknown any or all are exclusive.
It looks like there is a third 6″ Black Series “Holiday Trooper” coming soon from Hasbro. Checking my usual resources, it shows that dozens of cases of “SW BL HOLIDAY TROOPER 2” are currently en route to the U.S.. This mystery trooper joins the Walmart Holiday Trooper 5 discovered back in June and the Star Wars Holiday Trooper that was rooted out from Target system a couple weeks ago. Price for all 3 of them are about $25 each.
Poking around the non-U.S. Amazon sites, I found a listing for the upcoming Black Series Clone Wars Clone Trooper from Wave 27. The descriptive text specifically calls out this clone trooper as being of the Phase I design:
The Black Series 6-inch figure is carefully crafted to resemble the Phase I Clone Trooper character from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, plus features details and multiple points of articulation.
Now, Amazon text has been wrong before but looking at some of the other Amazon listings for Luke (Endor) and Leia (Endor), this text seems to be indicative for what we may be getting for the clone. Hopefully we can get better confirmation soon.
Updated shipping info confirms the long-rumored breakdown of the next wave of Black Series figures (Wave 27). They are as follows:
1x Cad Bane (TCW)
1x Luke Skywalker (ROTJ)
1x “Sawyer” The Armorer (The Mandalorian)
1x Leia Organa (ROTJ)
1x Han Solo (ROTJ)
1x Incinerator Trooper (The Mandalorian)
1x Unidentified Clone Trooper (TCW)
1x Hoth Rebel Trooper (TESB)
I’ve heard some interesting rumors over the past couple of days regarding upcoming products for The Vintage Collection and it sounds like we may not have to wait too much longer for a reveal/announcement for Hasbro’s version of The Razor Crest from The Mandalorian.
As with any rumor we share, until there is an announcement they are unofficial, approximate and subject to cancellation and/or delay by the manufacturer.
UPDATE: Based on a series of very compelling/convincing screenshots received over the past couple of weeks – if true – it appears that the TVC Razor Crest may have a price point of $349.99.
Additional research has confirmed that the next wave of 6″ Black Series (wave 27) is currently en route or has arrived at U.S. ports. The rumored breakdown of this wave can be viewed on our 2020 Master List page.
Tonight I have found evidence of yet another “convention exclusive” figure much like the Cad Bane, Heroes of Endor and ARC Trooper sets. Shipping manifest data reveals a pending arrival of SW BL CONVENTION EXCL 4 SAWYER – with “Sawyer” being a coded figure for The Mandalorian series. Speculation is that this character code is attributed to “The Armorer”.
A couple weeks ago we posted word of the possibility of 2 new 6″ Black Series Deluxe figures coming to the line later this year, early next. With some searching via the Walmart app, the second set has been located. It is rumored that the first of these is Jar Jar Binks and the second has yet to be uncovered. Neither set is exclusive to Walmart and both are priced at $29,99. More info to come when available.
I received some intel from a source today indicating that Target may be getting an exclusive TBS “Holiday Trooper” in October. If you recall, back in June, I posted the discovery of a “Holiday Trooper 5″ in Walmart’s system. Cross checking the two shows that they are different SKUS and not the same holiday trooper – whatever they are.
Secondly, another potential exclusive is also in their system and it’s coded as “Mando Berry”. “Berry” was the mystery code name for the Cara Dune figures for The Mandalorian. This new one has a different UPC/EAN code than the TBS #101 figure so again it sounds like something new.
Both are priced at $24.99. More info to come….
UPDATE: I hit my local Target this morning to get some first hand images of the upcoming figure via the self-service price scanner and a helpful team member.
