Retro Rumor Report: 12 Retro Collection Code Names added
It looks like we can expect a couple waves of Retro Collection figures for 2022 with the addition of these 12 code names to our Master List. It’s a good bet that the second wave may have to do with The Book of Boba Fett as the first is another wave for The Mandalorian

Rumor Report: Target Exclusive TVC Droids Animated Series Figures
Today, I received info on 3 new code names and from what I’m told they correlate to 3 upcoming Target Exclusive Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary Vintage Collection figures to commemorate the Star Wars Droids animated series. The 3 code names are as follows:
“Aquarius” – Boba Fett
“Pisces” – C-3PO
“Taurus” – R2-D2
It can be assumed that these will be redecos of existing molds and be carded on the TVC style card back with animated art from the cartoon used as the “film out” (like the Walmart Exclusive TVC Clone Wars figures). These figures retail for $15.99 each but it is unknown when they will be available for preorder or in-stores.
UPC, DPCI, TCIN info has been added to our Master List for these Droids figures
To clarify, these figures ARE NOT the “Periwinkle”, “Violet” and “Mauve” TVC figures we erroreously hinted at yesterday. These purple tinted codes tie to 3 different figures altogether. : )
Rumor Report: 3 Target Exclusive TVC Figures Coming Soon?
A couple months ago, we reported on the discovery of an exclusive Vintage Collection figure listing at Target, code named “Periwinkle“. Additional searching has turned up two more with code names “Violet” and “Mauve“. All 3 of these have unique in-store DPCIs and retail for $13.99 each. There is currently no street date or expected arrival listed. I have heard rumblings of who these figures are but I am waiting for additional info to confirm them definitively. Stay tuned.
Rumor Report: Another Retro Item For This Year?
It appears that there is at least one more Retro Collection item planned for this year. A search last night turned up results for an item called “SW RETRO BLACKBOARD” and it’s currently shipping to the U.S.. As you may recall, the recent Target exclusive Prototype Edition Boba Fett has the code name “SW RETRO CHALK” – it is unknown if this is a figure or other item like the previous games with a figure pack-in. Maybe we’ll hear about it tomorrow at Hasbro Fan First Wednesday.

In what seems like another lifetime, Hasbro months ago announced via thier “Pipeline Reveals” that Cobb Vanth would be coming to the Black Series line.

It looks like we can expect another 6″ Black Series Build Up Pack from The Mandalorian along the lines of last year’s Din Djarin and The Child set which was exclusive to Target. No word on exclusivity for this set but it’s tentively scheduled for October 2021 in some markets outside of the U.S. We will post an update when we learn more.
