A couple weeks ago we reported that there would be an new Mission Fleet coming soon featuring IG-11 and The Child. Today, Instagram follower the_squishy_sarlacc posted this image of the set which was found at Target in Burlington, WA.
Here is an update to a previous report we shared back in December. It appears that there is some sort of Obi-Wan Kenobi figure (code named “SNOW”) coming to the Black Series line and is (for now) set to be an exclusive to Target in the U.S. From what I can tell, the Hasbro SKU for this figure is unique to this release and is not the Amazon exclusive Kenner deco version nor is it the rumored Obi-Wan Kenobi (ROTS) for the Black Series Archive line.
Again, it is unknown what source material this figure is based on and no time frame for release is known at this time.
Here is another Target store find of the latest wave of Vintage Collection figures. These were found in Fishers, IN.
Thanks to my friend TatooineSandworm for the image. Loose images to follow soon.
UPDATE: Loose shots added – brace yourself for Leia – her iconic hairstyle has been done a disservice.

Target has lifted the April 1 street date imposed on the new 6″ Black Series Archive wave hitting stores now. Price is set at $19.99 and the DPCI: 087-16-5540. Thanks to TargetGod for the confirmation.
Reports are coming in that the new 6″ Black Series Deluxe Jar Jar Binks has started to hit retail in the U.S. Matthew O. reports finding it today at Target (087-16-2141) in Sterling Heights, MI while Turka L. reports finding it (along with a couple Ahsokas) at Walmart (248467335) in Miami, FL.
Today marks the final coordinated Mando Monday media event and features the official reveal of the Black Series Force FX Elite Darksaber, the Black Series Boba Fett Re-Armored Helmet and the Target Exclusive Galaxy’s Edge Captain Cardinal Helmet. Preorders for all launch today at 4pm ET.
Apart from the Target Exclusive Galaxy’s Edge Captain Cardinal helmet, watch for Hasbro to announce preorders for the Black Series Force FX Darksaber from The Mandalorian, The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels as the final Mando Monday series of reveals.
Also for today’s Mando Monday, Target announced that they’ll be offering/re-issuing the former convention/HasbroToyShop/Amazon exclusive 6″ Black Series Echo Base Set featuring the unique, hood down, brown coat Han Solo and Princess Leia Organa. The set retails for $49.99 which is surprising considering that is the original price it sold for back in 2018.
Armed with some UPC/EAN info, I ventured into Target today to see I could get a hit on the Black Series figures that we exclusively reported on Monday. Low and behold the info is in Target’s system – and it confirms the code names.
With this info some theories can be proposed:
– The price point is indicative of these being exclusive.
– These are individual DPCIs that are not part of an assortment so could they be another wave of Galaxy’s Edge items??? (These figures are also exclusive to ToysRUs in Canada – the retail partner for GE merch in that country.)
– Walmart received an exclusive wave of figures for The Clone Wars – could this be something similar???
DPCIs have been added to our extensive UPC/DPCI/SKU Master List.
Target has a nice Buy 2, Get 1 Free sale happening right now, through December 5th. Let us know if those toy runs are turning up with any good finds after the jump!
