Even better than Archive…. Repaints! Preorder these “new” Black Series versions of C-3PO and R2-D2 from Star Wars Droids this Thursday at 1pm ET via Fan Channel retailers.
Look for a Stormtrooper and Boba Fett to be part of the line as well.
Some digging around recently has turned up evidence for a possible Black Series Clone Trooper “build up pack” from The Clone Wars. The set is said to include a clone trooper with multiple heads (3), helmets (4), pauldrons (3) to create various trooper combinations. Figure also includes a blaster and hologram accessory. No clear price yet but probably in the $50 range. If I were to compare it to something on the market today, it sounds comparable to the Legacy Collection subline from the G.I.Joe Classified Series.
No word yet as to when it will be officially announced or how/where it will be offered.
Images of an upcoming Black Series Jango Fett helmet have surfaced courtesy of 5017set. Look for preorders to open soon.

Following up from our post yesterday, the mini box Black Series Grogu was indeed revealed and will be $9.99 via various retailers. There will not be a preorder and will be a “see now, buy now” mainline release in stores and online.
Back in February, we reported that there was second wave of First Editions planned for The Black Series releases for The Mandalorian and Grogu and with today’s fanstream, those figures have been confirmed: Zeb (Deluxe), Imperial Remnant Snowtrooper, Mercenary Guard Droid, Embo and IG-11.
As with the first wave, these will be in-store exclusives for Target and Walmart here in the U.S. and will be offered through fan channel in other parts of the world.
Hasbro presented their second fanstream for May which heavily featured product from The Mandalorian and Grogu. Click on through to check out the info.

Two streams in one month! Hasbro has announced that there will be another Star Wars Fanstream next week (Tuesday, 11am ET) which will in all likelihood lean heavily on new product reveals from The Mandalorian and Grogu (now in theaters). Preorders will drop on Thursday.
A bit of poking around the last couple days has yielded a few 2027 code names/product listings seeming to indicate the return of the large format, carded Black Series figures for the 50th Anniversary of Star Wars. A bit too early to tell who they are exactly but if previous anniversary releases are any indication, there will surely be some reissues with some newness shuffled in (hopefully).
