I received some information yesterday from a few different sources corroborating some of the existing code names we have for Black Series with some rumored figures we’ve shared as well. Click on through for the details and when we may expect them.

A couple new Black Series codes have been found this evening. “Spoon” and “Fork” are the latest mystery figures to join our ever-growing list of upcoming figures for this year. It is unknown who these figures are at the moment but they do ship individually in cases of 8, don’t correspond with any existing SKUs I currently have and they have arrived in the U.S..
Mission Fleet will continue to expand as six new listing have been added to our Master List. They include:
Deluxe Sundae*
Ahsoka’s Jedi Starfighter
Obi-Wan’s Jedi Starfighter 2
Moff Gideon’s TIE Fighter
Bo Katan’s Gauntlet Fighter
Luke Skywalker & Grogu
*Could be the code for the Razor Crest that we already reported
Today, we have a series of new code names added for our Master List of products. We continue with the addition 17 new Vintage Collection* figure istings in what I suspect are for 2022 release.
Vintage Collection
Bellevue, Bethesda, Carson City, College Park, Ely, Flagstaff, Frederick, Hawthorne, Las Vegas, Mesa, Olympia, Reno, Renton, Richland, Sedona, Tacoma, and Verdi
*It is unknown if any of these items are retailer exclusives.
Today, we have a series of new code names added for our Master List of products. We’ll start things off with 19 new Black Series* and Black Series Archive listings in what I suspect are for 2022 release.
Black Series
Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo, Jacksonville, Key West, Lunge, Miami, North Dakota, Rochester, Tampa, and Tarrytown
Black Series Archive
Cambridge, Gloucester, Lowell, Peabody, Quincy, Waltham, Woburn,
and Worchester
*It is unknown if any of these items are retailer exclusives.
Word is there may be another Black Series roleplay item up for preorder next week. If you recall, the Wedge Antilles Helmet had a code name of “Couch” while this new item has a code name of “Chair” – the furniture theme seems to indicate they’d be part of the same segment of collectibles. Could it be Rey’s yellow lightsaber from TROS or something wearable. We shall see in a couple of days.
As part of next week’s May the 4th festivities, watch for 2, maybe 3, 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats figures to go up for preorder at GameStop. It is unknown at this time who they are or what game they are from but rest assured it will be a busy day for preorders for Black Series and Vintage Collection items from various retailers.
As a follow up to our report from last month, the three new shape codes “Triangle”, “Square” and “Rectangle” we received now show up on the Walmart app and after some additional research we have determined that these are indeed exclusive to Walmart. They are priced similarily ($12.99) to the exclusive Endor Leia, Paploo and AT-ST Driver TVC figures and ship in their own case packs of 6. ETA is still unknown as is their secondary code name and identity. More as we learn more.
Following up on some previous reports here and here, I received info that the 4 rumored Target Exclusive Black Series figures “SUN”, “SNOW”, “RAIN” and “WIND” are on the way to Target distribution centers and have an expected arrival date in stores on or about May 19. (Street date TBD). It’s a good bet that these will be revealed as part of the May the 4th festivities planned – unless they leak prior to then. It is unknown which figures they all are except for one which I was told is some version of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Thanks to TargetGod for the assist.
Word is that there will be a new, previously unrumored, Black Series figure revealed soon as part of the Hasbro Fan Fest. Leave your guesses in the comments as to whom it may be. I’ve already given one hint.
