Agustin Giavedoni from the Star Wars The Vintage Collection Facebook Group has posted the first look at new Vintage Collection figures shown on the Purge Trooper (Phase II) cardback on display at SDCC. New figures are Luke Skywalker (Imperial Light Cruiser), Cal Kestis, Cassian Andor, Artillery Stormtrooper, and Vel Sartha
Well this is sure to make some collectors unhappy. Entertainment Earth will be offering a limited supply of Target exclusives for sale at San Diego Comic-Con. Oddly, Target has yet to fulfill any of their preorders for Black Series Antoch Merrick and Galen Erso.
Thanks to Preternia for the heads up.
In Demand Toys also posted images of an unannounced convention exclusive for the Black Series featuring Cassian Andor and B2-EMO from the Star Wars: Andor Disney+ series. No official pricing or availability has been annonnced but it should follow the same preorder process as Jon Favreau/Paz Vizsla and only be available online and not on-site at any convention.
In Demand Toys has posted one of the Convention Exclusives planned for this year on Facebook. The Vintage Collection The Rescue Set features the Dark Trooper, The Mandalorian, Grogu and Moff Gideon — all of which have new accessories and to differentiate them from previous releases. No price is listed yet but look for this to be available for preorder exclusively at Hasbro Pulse as part of their SDCC reveals.
It appears that the next potential exclusive for SDCC/Hasbro Pulse is Vintage Collection related and features the long-awaited Emperor Palpatine with Throne. If this is true, it may explain the why the rumored figure has been held back from being revealed with its other case mates for it to debut in this set.
Thanks again to professorbtoyshop on Instagram for the image.
Thanks to an Instagram post from professiorbtoyshop, it appears that there is a Black Series Cantina Set of sorts which may be one of the SDCC/Hasbro Pulse Exclusives which we reported on back in May.
This set features an(other) Obi-Wan Kenobi with photoreal likeness as well as two new figures Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan and a portion of the cantina’s bar and dispensery. This potential set is in keeping with how Hasbro has released figures in the past like last year’s Heroes of Endor Set since we know (unofficially) that both “Walrusman” and “Roofoo” are coming in the standard Black Series line later this year.
Searching my usual sources this morning, I found evidence of an upcoming (unannounced) SDCC exclusive 6″ Black Series Wampa that is currently shipping to Canada. This item should be officially announced soon and be available through Hasbro Pulse.
Gentle Giant today announced their SDCC Exclusive The Mandalorian (MK3) Mini Bust. Preorders are open now for Premier Guild Members and will open tomorrow for the general public at 11am ET. Limted to 3000 pieces, Premier Guild Member preorders are guaranteed.
As we prep for the reveals at SDCC, I just found some info online regarding an as-of-yet to be announced Black Series Boba Fett Helmet. I believe that this will go up for preorder sometime during SDCC (along with another Black Series item).
Hasbro has issued a press release with additional images of the upcoming SDCC Exclusive 6″ Black Series Sith Trooper. Click on through for the info.
