Some intel sent to me by an anonymous source reveals 4 new Black Series listings found in a retailer’s system: “Sun”, Snow”, “Wind” and “Rain”. No word who these figures may be or if they may be exclusives.
More info to come when available.
UPDATE: I managed to find pricing info for these this evening – $24.99 – and to me that says “exclusive”.
A listing has been uncovered for an upcoming Bo-Katan set for Hasbro’s Mission Fleet line and is said to be a part of the $19.99 pricepoint. Also of interest is how the figure is codenamed and associated (but more on that when I can get some additional confirmation as to its potential meaning).
There is also word of another female character joining the Black Series line: Aurra Sing. It is unknown at this time if she will be branded as part of The Phantom Menace or The Clone Wars subgroup of figures but whatever the case I hope we get her in her alternate black outfit as well.
Remember, nothing is official until Hasbro confirms or unannounced product is found at retail.
An interesting bit of anonymous intel flowed my way today, and it looks like in 2021, we’ll be getting some long requested characters from The Clone Wars added to the Black Series line: Bo Katan and Asajj Ventress. I believe they are also general releases and not exclusives.
Remember, nothing is official until Hasbro confirms or unannounced product is found at retail.
I received interesting word today that a new 6″ Black Series item has been listed in EBGames system as “Clone Trooper Deluxe”. Could we be getting an ARC Trooper finally or is this a standard clone with a bunch of weapons/accessories? We’ll just have to wait and see.
Tonight, I managed to find 8 new Vintage Collection code names while poking around via the Walmart app. No clue yet as to their identities. All have been added to our Master List.
Rebel spies have beamed a secret transmission that preorders may be opening later this month that should be of great interest to collectors who focus on action figure photography.
If reports are accurate, this will cater to the 1:12 scale crowd.
As a follow up to our exclusive report from Aug 19, a couple independent, anonymous sources have indicated that the next wave of Retro Collection figures will be from The Mandalorian. Nothing is confirmed until Hasbro announces it, of course, or they are found in stores (which ever comes first).
UPDATE: Figures in the assortment will include The Mandalorian, Cara Dune, The Child, Greef Karga, Moff Gideon, IG-11 and Kuiil and are NOT EXCLUSIVE to Walmart.
UPDATE 2: Today I found the DPCI (087-16-7465) info for this assortment at Target, further supporting the news that these are not exclusives to Walmart.
I’ve heard some rumblings regarding upcoming possible figures for the Vintage Collection: couple figures from The Mandalorian, Greef Karga, The Child, a new Boba Fett from Return of the Jedi and Snaggletooth – one of which may be available for preorder soon.
For those unable to acquired the Heroes of Endor set via Hasbro Pulse, here is the next best option as 3 of the 4 figures will be released in the Black Series Wave 27 as rumor for many months. StarWarsPoodoo on Instagram provides us our first look and Endor Luke, Han and Leia.
