It appears there is another “Convention Exclusive” preparing to make landfall soon. JTPrime has posted in the ToyArk forums, the discovery of an item named “E76520000 SW CONVENTION EXCLUSIVE HEROS ENDOR 3 Pcs”. (3 pcs is probably the case pack, not the number of figures in the set.) No word yet whether it is Black Series or TVC, but we should find out soon enough.
A quick report for today as we can fill in one of those blank Black Series Exclusive listings on our Master List. Info has been found for an upcoming 6″ Captain Cardinal figure. No word on availability but it should be soon as it is shipping to the US now. Stay tuned for info on two other 6″ Black Series exclusive figures for Galaxy’s Edge. A little hint: they are repacks.
Another curious product has been uncovered via the Walmart app. A listing shows a 6″ Black Series Holiday Trooper of some sort and it also has a designation of “5”. Does this mean more than one??? Time will tell I guess, no word as to what type of trooper it may be or even if “Holiday” is another code name.
Join us as we talk about the latest Star Wars action figure reveals from Hasbro. We also discuss the fan movement to save Hasbro’s 3.75 inch Star Wars figures. #BackTVC #Save375 #FightForTVC
A couple weeks ago, I once again joined the Galaxy of Toys podcast to discuss the latest news from Hasbro regarding the Black Series and (anemic) Vintage Collection.
Note: the beginning of the podcast features a cold open (recorded after the reveals) and then it jumps “back in time” to the regular show format as recorded on May 17, 2020.
A link found on an Australian distributor website, reveals an upcoming 6″ Black Series Mandalorian Build-Up Pack from Hasbro. No word on its contents but it sounds like The Mandalorian figure with several additional accessories similar to the Sith Trooper Armory Pack figure from the Vintage Collection. Hopefully it will include the pram for The Child and maybe his newly acquired jetpack. Nevermind, the Beskar Mando includes the jetpack. 😛 How about whistling birds, flame and blaster attachments or a flight stand like the Target Exclusive Marvel Legends Black Widow?
Thanks to JTPrime for the alert.
