This Week! in Star Wars has posted a tease for next week’s Mando Monday reveal. The design appears to be the abdomen armor for the 6″ Black Series Death Trooper from Rogue One and The Mandalorian. This supports our previous rumor of the Death Trooper returning to the line in the Archive Collection for 2021.
Jedi Insider is reporting on the potential release of a Jedi Training version of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa from The Rise of Skywalker coming to the Black Series line in 2021. They also report the expansion of the 6″ Credit Collection line and through out a couple figure names from The Mandalorian. Head on over for the info.
Sponsor DorksideToys is now taking preorders for Case, set and individual figures from the new Black Series Archive Wave 1 for 2021. This assortment includes Han Solo (Hoth – Brown Coat), Luke Skywalker (Hoth), Grand Admiral Thrawn and Clone Commander Cody.
Some intel sent to me by an anonymous source reveals 4 new Black Series listings found in a retailer’s system: “Sun”, Snow”, “Wind” and “Rain”. No word who these figures may be or if they may be exclusives.
More info to come when available.
UPDATE: I managed to find pricing info for these this evening – $24.99 – and to me that says “exclusive”.
Latest shipping data shows that Gamestop Warehouse in Kentucky, has received cases of the 6″ Black Seires Moff Gideon, Greef Karga, Kuiil and Rey (Dark Side Vision) figures. Look for preorders to start filling and store stock soon.
According to recent shipping data, it appears that there is a large shipment of various Black Series items headed to Hasbro’s distribution center(s).

UPDATE: Watch for the new wave of Black Series Archive to start arriving in Target stores the week of Christmas. DPCI 087-16-5540 – they are NOT exclusive to Target.
Instagram follower I Roger K has shared additional loose images of the upcoming wave of 6″ Black Series figures featuring Rey (Dark Side Vision), Greef Karga, Moff Gideon, and Kuiil.
Here is a first in-hand look at the upcoming wave of Black Series figures tentatively slated for release this month. Wave 28 includes Rey (Dark Side Vision), Moff Gideon, Kuiil, Greef Karga and a repack of The Armorer.
Thanks to bryanivestan on Instagram in Singapore for the images.
Last week we reported the first sighting of TVC Wave 16 at Target and this week, it looks like Walmart has followed suit. This report comes from scottw703 on Instagram in Chesapeake, VA courtesy of @KyloCollector.
Meanwhile, preorders for the TVC Incinerator Trooper (and TBS Clone Wars figures) keep getting pushed back into 2021, or outright cancelled, despite taking new in-stock online orders.
Thanks Walmart, your failure is complete.
