I’ve heard some rumblings regarding upcoming possible figures for the Vintage Collection: couple figures from The Mandalorian, Greef Karga, The Child, a new Boba Fett from Return of the Jedi and Snaggletooth – one of which may be available for preorder soon.
For those unable to acquired the Heroes of Endor set via Hasbro Pulse, here is the next best option as 3 of the 4 figures will be released in the Black Series Wave 27 as rumor for many months. StarWarsPoodoo on Instagram provides us our first look and Endor Luke, Han and Leia.
Last night, KyloCollector on Instagram posted the first look at a Carbonized TVC Mandalorian figure that was found at Target. The discovery confirms that these figures are the rumored “Gem” items on our Master List – this one being “EMERALD”. The figure itself gets a deco much like it Black Series counterpart and the iconic TVC cardback gets the foil treatment. The back of the card reveals the other figures in the assortment which include Cara Dune, Remnant Stormtrooper and the Death Trooper.
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.
