The Best Buy exclusive 6″ Black Series Heavy Infantry Mandalorian is officially designated as “D2” according to its packaging. The bio reads as follows:
A brawny warrior encased in the strongest Beskar armor, the mysterious Heavy Infantry Mandalorian is part of a secretive enclave of his people. A born survivor, he guards a precious armory and helps to keep the flames of Mandalorian heritage flickering in this time of galactic chaos.
Thanks to Austin C. for the image.
For people needing for the 6” Black Series Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) and Yoda (Force Spirit) – word on reddit they’ll go live tonight at 9pm EST – thanks to Jason M. For the tip.
It looks like the exclusive 6″ Black Series First Order Elite Snowtrooper (previously available in the non-Hasbro mystery box) is now hitting Target stores in PA.

Thanks to Action Figure Junkies on Instagram for the report.
Based on recent shipping info, it looks like the recently leaked 6″ Black Series Heavy Infantry Mandalorian from The Mandalorian should be available to collectors soon as the product shipped from China last month and arrived at ports in the US and Canada last week.
New artwork has surfaced on artist Gregory Titus’s website that features some of the long rumored figures for the Black Series. Mixed in with newly revealed Jedi Revan and the Heavy Mandalorian portraits are illustrations for Luke Skywalker (Crait), Clone Commander Bly, Jar Jar Binks and Zeb Orrelios and more.
Remember the existence of this artwork doesn’t prove the existence of the figures per se, but at least we know they’re ready for when they are realized in plastic form.
Thanks to Ben F. for the tip.
Thanks to a tip from Xavi Qel-Droma, we can share this new image of the upcoming 6″ Black Series Heavy Infantry Mandalorian from The Mandalorian. No word yet on availability in the U.S. but last I heard, is a shared/fan channel exclusive. This figure also confirms a listing on our Master List for a Hot Wheels Character Car of the same name.
Based on a leaked POP! List from a couple weeks ago, the full name of this figure is possibly “Heavy Infantry Mandalorian”.
GameStop has launched 2 new 6” Black Series Gaming Greats preorders – one for Jedi Revan and another for a Heavy Battle Droid. Both look to be available in early February 2020.
Keep and eye out at your local Walmart as several stores from across the U.S. have started receiving and setting prefilled aisle shippers that include both of these figures.
Update: I hit up my local Walmart (Blaine, MN) at about midnight and found the new pallet with 6” Ghost Yodas, Jedi Lukes, TVC Yavin Lukes and the 3 new gold prequel Skywalker Saga sets. Over in the regular aisle they had several 5” GOA Jedi Lukes and a dozen TVC Lando (Skiff Guard).
If you checked our Master List over the past few days, you may have noticed we made some adjustments and additions to how some of the waves breakdown for both the Vintage and Black Series assortments. On Monday we posted the breakdown for TVC wave 11 so here is the breakdown for TBS wave 24*:
1x Count Dooku
1x Knight of Ren
2x Zorii Bliss
1x Luke Skywalker (Yavin Ceremony)
1x Clone Commander Bly (unannounced)
2x Sith Jet Trooper (unannounced)

Hasbro has revealed a few new figures for the Black Series and Vintage Collection at this year’s Manga Barcelona con in Spain. Our long-standing rumors of the 6″ Count Dooku and Geonosis Battle Droid were officially confirmed and they unveiled another group of Vintage Collection repacks/repaints consisting of Anakin Skywalker (The Clone Wars), Obi-Wan Kenobi (The Clone Wars), Wicket and Darth Maul (The Phantom Menace). These join the other repacks/repaints revealed at the Lucca Comic & Games convention which were Han Solo (Bespin), Luke Skywalker (Bespin), General Lando Calrissian and C-3PO.
