A new 6″ Black Series figure listing has been found on the Australian and Italian Amazon sites. It is unknown who the character is but Amazon AU lists it as being a character from The Mandalorian Season 2. As we’ve previously reported, this figure also has dual code names for the same Hasbro SKU: “Cheetah” and “Haiku”. Thanks to JTPrime for bringing this to our attention.

Rumor Report: More Preorders Coming Soon?
It’s hard to know what to expect with Hasbro’s upcoming Fan Fest in two weeks, but it looks like there are several preorders coming judging by the 12 listings added to certain vendor’s website. The new listings break evenly between Vintage Collection and Black Series, which is nice, but I believe four of the TVC figures are for the upcoming repack/repaint wave. The two “new” TVC listings feature code names I haven’t seen until now “FOUNTAIN” and “MARKER” – these may line up with the rumored TVC Gaming Greats figures but it’s difficult to know at this point until I find some additional info and with the doubling up of code names now. As for the Black Series figures, these should all be from the next wave and feature Aurra Sing, Tech, Q9-0 and others.
Since we’re still a couple weeks out, details may change so stay tuned.

Rumor Report: 3 New “Shape” Code Names for TVC
Tonight I received 3 new code names from a source for upcoming figures for the Vintage Collection designated as “Rectangle”, “Square” and “Triangle”. As you may recall from early in February, we we able to determine that the 3 new Walmart exclusive figure for Paploo, Endor Leia and AT-ST Driver also had shape-themed names (“Oval”, “Octagon”, “Circle”). Could these new three also be Walmart exclusives AND be part of the “Finish the 96” campaign? Time will tell, but they are currently not in Walmart’s system. We’ll update as we learn more info.

UPDATE: Rumor Report: Five New 6″ TBS Figure Listings
In the wee hours of the early morning, I managed to find 5 new Black Series listings that are currently en route from China. They are of course coded to protect their identities from being revealed but they should start popping into the retailer databases soon. Note that 6 per case breakdown for the “seasonal” figures and 8 per case breakdown for “martial arts” figures. The above SKUs are different from the “Sun”, “Wind”, “Rain” and “Snow” which we reported last month, so they are not duplicates of those.
The products have been added to our 2020/2021 Master List.
UPDATE: I have learned the identities of the 5 above figures plus a sixth. None of the figures are new but do feature deco enhancements or are repaints. They are NOT Carbonized, Credit Collection, Gaming Greats or Deluxe figures.
