Today marks the final reveal for Obi-Wan Wednesdays and with not much surprise we get our speculated Black Series Teeka (Jawa). This is a Target exclusive and will be available for preorder tomorrow at 1pm ET.
A couple weeks ago, I posted 17 new code names corresponding to figures in the Vintage Collection. What I failed to notice at the time was that even though they all share the $14.99 pricepoint, there is a new DPCI (087-26-9848)* at Target for these as well. Normally when there is a DPCI change it correlates to a new product line/assortment but I have a sneaking suspicion these figures may all fall into the rumored plastic-free packaging design (PFP). I guess we’ll all have to wait for the official announcement to know for certain.
*Current DPCI for mainline TVC is 087-16-6045
Hasbro’s distribution woes continue to baffle collectors as the newest TVC Obi-Wan Kenobi (Wandering Jedi) figure has been found at Target in Lafayette, IN.

As a follow-up to our exclusive report from January, it appears that the Black Series figure code named “Rouge” has started to arrive in the U.S. according to recent shipping info. The identity of the figure is unknown as of yet but the DPCI and TCIN info is shown above along with the price. It is suspected that this item is a Target exclusive as the info doesn’t show in any other U.S. retailers’ systems (yet). Stay tuned as we try to uncover more.
