In doing some recon on Brickseek earlier today (while researching the those new 6″ Black Series figures from “Solo”), I also came across a new listing (also confirmed on Amazon) for a Force Link 2.0 Imperial AT-DT – a new walker that was featured in the latest trailer. Pertinent info has been added to the Master List as well as the unofficial checklist.
You saw the official reveal the other day for the new Finn, Poe and Yoda Mighty Muggs. We managed to find a few more in the works. Click on through for the list.

Hasbro is committed to the Force Link technology in their 3.75″ action figure line and it looks like that trend will continue with products for Solo: A Star Wars Story. We can expect to get at least one Force Link Starter Set (bracelet with a pack-in figure) and possibly in another “flagship” type release in April 2018. Additional details (UPCs/SKUs etc.) for these and other 2018 products will be posted once we have them.
Finally tonight, I also managed to find 5 Black Series figure listings on Brickseek for characters “Zeus”, “Vesta Guard”, “Hermes”,”Athena” and “Artemis” from Solo: A Star Wars Story. This list also confirms the theory that the code names for Solo: A Star Wars Story will rely on mythological names for their characters.
Again, all of these items have been added to our expansive UPC/DPCI/SKU list.
Enjoy!
Hollywood Reporter has just posted that directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller have abandoned the Han Solo stand alone film over creative differences with the studio.
Head on over for the full report.
Instagram user StarZoneToys has posted an image of the filming crew shirt for the Han Solo standalone film. Titled simply “Solo”, the logo treatment features Han’s signature DL-44 blaster in place of the “L” and a tagline of “We Shot First” on the back.
Thanks to Matt from JediNews for the heads up.
