Toy Fair 2019 is this weekend and things are kicking off on Saturday with Hasbro and LEGO. There are bound to be a few surprises coming aside from the product we’ve rumored, but I’ll leave you with this:
Roses are red, Violets are blue. Toy Fair is this weekend, and that one thing is ALL NEW.
Hasbro will soon be officially announcing a new segment of Black Series figures called “HyperReal” – rumor has it that these figures are even more articulated than the current Black Series line and they are a larger scale. For further evidence supporting the rumor of this line, we’ve had in our in our Master List of UPCs/SKUs a item called Darth Vader (E4) Action Figure with a $49.99$79.99 price point. Today, Brickseek updated that listing to include the Hyperreal reference and you can see it on Walmart.com shown as “SW E4 BL HYPERREAL DARTH VADER”. The dimensions of the packaging also allude to a larger scale than the current 6″ Black Series line.
More as it develops and watch for an official announcement at Toy Fair.

You’ve probably seen images of product cases marked with “STOP!

I’ve been told by two sources at two different major retailers, that April 13 is now the launch date so you can shift your previously scheduled time off requests a week ahead.
