In case you missed our Tweet and Instagram posts yesterday, there looks to be another “Gaming Greats” 6″ Black Series figure coming – the Shadow Stormtrooper from The Force Unleashed game. You may recall the artwork for this figure slipped out a couple months back. The preorder and release date is still unknown for the US market – as is with the TFU Stormtrooper Commander – but based on a couple sources I have, it should be revealed soon as production pieces have been seen. From what I know, the figure is much like the 3.75″ version from the TFU multipack and has a gunmetal color (kind of like the Carbonized Second Sister Inquisitor) and incorporates translucent parts to their sculpt (forearms, biceps, lower legs and knee area, and abdomen).

Rumor Confirmed: 6″ TBS Stormtrooper Commander from TFU
About a month ago, we ran a report about the possibility of there being a Stormtrooper Commander from The Force Unleashed coming as part of the Black Series Gaming Greats line. Today, we have visual confirmation of that rumor and theory thanks to Instagram follower @audiobeing. This figure reportedly has a street date of March 1 in Canada at EBGames stores, no word yet on a U.S. release date.

It appears that the popularity of the Carbonized figures from the Black Series prompted their return in 2020. Some research has uncovered info for a Carbonized Boba Fett as well as a Stormtrooper. This was also reiterated to us via an unsolicited Tweet from follower Niall Davids. His tweet also mentioned the possibility of a 6″ scale Snowspeeder with Dak? Now that is interesting….
Rumor Report: New TVC Items To Be revealed/Confirmed at Toy Fair?
This coming weekend, Hasbro will be having their annual off-site presentation for Toy Fair 2020 in New York. Things have been quiet on the rumor front for the Vintage Collection for a while but hopefully we get official confirmations of some past and newly rumored items for the line. Recently, a Nebraska specialty retailer leaked word of possible update to the previous Amazon exclusive TVC Slave I, there’s also the long-standing rumor of a certain Bespin playset in the cards for 2020. A little Bothan told me that we may even see the reveal of 6 “new” TVC figures that represent characters from The Clone Wars, Rogue One, A New Hope and Return of the Jedi. These rumored figures are a mix of all new sculpts, repaints as well as repacks of recently released figures.
Update: Rumor Report: Project Olympus
I few days ago I reported on a possible new scale of Star Wars figures and vehicles coming from Hasbro this year. Today I can found info for ANOTHER type of Star Wars product coded as PROJECT OLYMPUS which goes in the opposite direction than the first rumor and is listed as being 9.5″ scale. I have no clue as to what this may be so maybe we’ll all find out together at NY Toy Fair next month (if not sooner).
Update: It has been determined that this is another budget line of action figures similar to what Hasbro has done for Marvel. They are essentially smaller Hero Series figures with less articulation. An image has been added in the comments. Thanks to TatooineSandworm for the additional intel.

Rumor Report: TVC “Duckboat” and 6″ Probe Droid In Target System
Some hunting at the Target aisle price scanner tonight has yielded additional confirmation for our previous rumors for the TVC Imperial Troop Transport “Duckboat” (from The Mandalorian) and 6″ Black Series Deluxe “D3” Imperial Probe Droid.
Rumor Report: The Next Deluxe “D3” Black Series Figure
Last month, packaging illustrations for several unannounced Black Series figures accidentally popped up online and have slowly been officially announced (Jedi Knight Revan and the Heavy Infantry Mandalorian for example). Yesterday, I managed to find a listing for a new 6″ Black Series Deluxe figure and all signs point to it being another one of those leaked characters: The Imperial Probe Droid. While many of us have been hoping that Zeb Orrelios would be the next deluxe figure, the timing is right for the Probe Droid as it will be released for the 40th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back.
