Update: Black Series Rebels Reissues and Zeb now in GameStop System

If you were holding out hope for the long rumored TBS Rebels reissues panning out – here’s the proof (including Zeb) as shown by the GameStop system. Also shown TVC Hondo & Fives – thanks to toyshiz and gthec0ollect0r the pics.

Update: GameStop has changed the names of the figures to generic listing using “SW BL #” to correlate with the previously posted list. I have posted above a guide to which figure is which and included the GameStop sku in case you plan on visiting your store and placing a preorder (where applicable).

Update 2: Zeb has now been updated in GameStop’s system to read as “SW BL 1”

New Black Series ARtWork for Rumored characters

Images removed per artist request

New artwork has surfaced on artist Gregory Titus’s website that features some of the long rumored figures for the Black Series. Mixed in with newly revealed Jedi Revan and the Heavy Mandalorian portraits are illustrations for Luke Skywalker (Crait), Clone Commander Bly, Jar Jar Binks and Zeb Orrelios and more.

Remember the existence of this artwork doesn’t prove the existence of the figures per se, but at least we know they’re ready for when they are realized in plastic form.

Thanks to Ben F. for the tip.

Rumor Report: A New/Old Imperial Walker in The Mandalorian?

While hunting for new product info today I found a new name for a Hot Wheels Imperial walker for The Mandalorian series on Disney+. The product was designated “Huckleberry Walker“, and we know that products with the “Huckleberry” code name refer to that show specifically. With some further digging, the name has now changed to “AT-ST Raider” which is also interesting as it revives a name previously used in the Expanded Universe/Legends era. It so happens that in EU, the vehicle was also used in a battle on Mandalore. The AT-AR concept was also repurposed for the Star Wars Rebels series and became that AT-DP.

Jon Favreau is a huge EU/Legends fan so it’s not surprising that he’s pulled from that material to populate his vision universe. Rest assured, there will be plenty more Easter eggs like that throughout the series.

Hot Wheels will also have The Mandalorian’s Razor Crest, as part of its Starships line of die cast vehicles.
