Leave a comment

Today we’re rounding out the month of January with the drop of 13 new Black Series code names added to our Master List of products for 2022.

The first 8 all have code names with a California theme:
Los Angeles
San Diego
Oakland
San Jose
San Francisco
Santa Clara
Sacremento
Palm Springs

The next three have “color” code names:
Fuchsia
Navy
Rouge (no, not Rogue)

The last two are labeled
“September”
“Seasonal 1” (not the same Target SKU as the unreleased Holiday Mandalorian Warrior)

The first 8 figures all have a mainline (non-exclusive) pre-price increase MSRP of $19.99* while the next 5 all carry the SRP $26.49* pointing to those all being exclusives.

*for now

No details yet on their identities – except for two – they are Force users.

Leave a comment

According to latest shipping info, the rumored Amazon exclusive Black Series Holiday figure has arrived in the U.S. via the Georgia port. No word yet on its announcement.

Update: a price tag for this figure has been found at BEST BUY in the U.S. so it looks like that will be the retail partner for this exclusive. (Amazon in other markets).

Rumor Report: Target Exclusive TVC Droids Animated Series Figures

Leave a comment

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?

Leave a comment

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?

Leave a comment

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.
