New Black Series Packaging Tabs Hinting at Upcoming Accent Colors?

Leave a comment

An interesting observation was made regarding the packaging design for the new Black Series 4.0 assortment. Hasbro may be hinting at future accent color usage in the line as the top right tab on the packaging doesn’t match the overall color accent of the box.

BOX ACCENT COLOR / TAB ACCENT COLOR
Kamino Clone (Yellow) / Red (used for AOTC)
Teebo (Green) / Dark Brown (used for The Mandalorian)
Ackbar (Green) / Tan ?
Mandalorian (Dark Brown) / Light Pink ?
Stormtrooper (Dark Brown) / Eggshell Blue ?
Darth Vader (Blue) / Purple? (different from Rebels color)

Thanks to TatooineSandworm for the tip.

Bringing Balance: TBS vs TVC Rumor Reports

Leave a comment

I posted this comparison earlier via social media and I think it’s worthy of discussion here as well. If you take into consideration all of our rumored /unconfirmed Vintage Collection (TVC) and Black Series (TBS) action figure related items coming between now through 2021, the lines look as follows:

TVC: 31 rumored/unconfirmed
TBS: 42 rumored/unconfirmed

We don’t know how many of both lines are repacks/repaints, and if you remove the 4 additional TBS Credit Collection we just reported today, the balance overall is just barely in the Black Series favor. Interesting.

No, this is not an agency that repeatedly calls you for insurmountable debt you’ve accumulated, a couple days ago we reported the discovery of a new 6″ Black Series figure “Mando Berry” in Target’s system and it looks like there’s more info to share regarding this figure and the new “Credit Collection” to which it belongs.

Rumor Report Update: Two More 6″ Exclusives for Target?

Leave a comment

I received some intel from a source today indicating that Target may be getting an exclusive TBS “Holiday Trooper” in October. If you recall, back in June, I posted the discovery of a “Holiday Trooper 5″ in Walmart’s system. Cross checking the two shows that they are different SKUS and not the same holiday trooper – whatever they are.

Secondly, another potential exclusive is also in their system and it’s coded as “Mando Berry”. “Berry” was the mystery code name for the Cara Dune figures for The Mandalorian. This new one has a different UPC/EAN code than the TBS #101 figure so again it sounds like something new.

Both are priced at $24.99. More info to come….

UPDATE: I hit my local Target this morning to get some first hand images of the upcoming figure via the self-service price scanner and a helpful team member.

Rumor Report: New 6″ Black Series Deluxe Figure(s) for Late 2020

Leave a comment

Last night I managed to locate a listing for another unannounced 6″ Black Series Deluxe figure via the Walmart app. It is listed simply as SW BL Deluxe Figure 1 without pricing. But with some additional checking via source TargetGod, I was able to confirm the price of $29.99 making it not exclusive to either store.

There is a second deluxe figure as well and will update with more info when located.
