Heesa Back! First rumored back in May 2019, it appears based on some new rumblings from sources on the interwebs that Jar Jar will indeed make it the the Black Series line, possibly as a deluxe figure sometime in late 2020/early 2021. Hopefully, that missing Crait Luke Skywalker is not too far behind.
Just a couple days ago, we posted that this figure was shipping to the US, then yesterday Hasbro officially announced it. Now, we have in hand images courtesy of Instagram follower midnight.creature.
I’ve updated the list of Galaxy’s Edge merchandise coming to Target starting at the end of the month. There are over a dozen unannounced products (so far). You can see them in our 2020 Master UPC/DPCI/SKU List in the dedicated section with known pricing & corresponding SKUs.
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.
There is another apparently another Target Exclusive headed stores for the Galaxy’s Edge merchandising campaign. Look for R5-P8 in stores this October for $24.99. Thank to TargetGod for the intel.
Here is a gallery of today’s official reveals from Hasbro’s Fan First Friday.

Some late night and early morning digging has uncovered new 6″ Black Series listings via the Walmart app. 7 new “state” codename figures join those from our previous report in July. The new ones are: “Iowa”, “Ohio”, “Kansas”, “South Carolina”, “Tennessee”, “Alabama” and “Georgia”. No further details are known of the figure at this time.
Armed with my codes from yesterday, I visited my local Target terminal and scanned them and sure enough both “Vermont” and “Eastwood” are in their database. Also of note, these appear to not be either Black Series or Vintage Collection items. The saga continues….
Update 2: An anonymous tip from Instagram has sent word that these are called Celebrate the Saga: Sith and Celebrate the Saga: Jedi respectively. These sound like some sort of figure multipack like in years past.
Shipping info today reveals that the upcoming Walmart exclusive 6″ Mandalorian Super Commando “Mauldolorian” and the Target exclusive 6″ Commander Pyre are currently en route to the US.
Correction: I misidentified the Mandalorian as the Loyalist. Text above has been updated.
Originally rumored back in June, Instagram follower @anerdydad has shared the first look at the 6″ Black Series Electrostaff Purge Trooper that is exclusive to Gamestop (US) and EBGames (Canada).
