As a follow-up to our report yesterday, Hasbro Pulse via Instagram has officially announced that Tuesday, March 31 they will hold a Fan Appreciation day with new reveals on select fan sites* for figures coming in 2020. Stay tuned for detail and follow Hasbro Pulse on Instagram,
With a good portion of the country on stay/shelter in place directives to combat the spread of COVID-19, I wouldn’t be surprised if Star Wars collectors were treated to new product preorders next week. I noticed that a few retailer pages have become active again for TVC figures like Wolffe and K-2SO. The same thing happened just this past Friday afternoon when Hasbro dropped preorders for the new 6″ GIJOE Destro Classified Series figure (which I quickly snapped up from sponsor DorksideToys.) Could Wolffe and K-2SO (and others) be part of the preorders?
In this time of major upheaval in the routines of our lives, we thank you for your continued support of our site and our sponsors.
If you caught our social media posts about 90 minutes ago (12:25 am CST), you were notified on the opening of preorders for the GameStop Exclusive 6″ Black Series Stormtrooper Commander “Gaming Greats” figure. No release date is given, but if you’re looking to secure one (or more) this is your best bet for now.
And, watch for more Hasbro preorders to launch soon….
Prizes include 6″ TBS Sith Trooper, 6″ TBS Boba Fett, TVC Luke Skywalker Jedi Destiny set and the Vintage Collection Jabba’s Sail Barge! See this link for full details.
There looks to be a running change for the new 6″ Black Series Clone Commander Bly figure. Initial releases neglected to include the brown stripe on the lower part of the helmet (under the frown). Instagram follower disneyland_bountyhunter sent in the image on the right showing the helmet with the corrected deco (date stamp 93431)
If this sounds familiar, the ROTS figure (III-57) also had this error and subsequent variant back in 2005.
A source who wishes to remain anonymous, sent us a link confirming the upcoming 6″ Black Series Shadow Stormtrooper “Gaming Greats” figure from The Force Unleashed. Still no official word on this figure but hopefully we hear something soon.
In case you missed our Tweet and Instagram posts yesterday, there looks to be another “Gaming Greats” 6″ Black Series figure coming – the Shadow Stormtrooper from The Force Unleashed game. You may recall the artwork for this figure slipped out a couple months back. The preorder and release date is still unknown for the US market – as is with the TFU Stormtrooper Commander – but based on a couple sources I have, it should be revealed soon as production pieces have been seen. From what I know, the figure is much like the 3.75″ version from the TFU multipack and has a gunmetal color (kind of like the Carbonized Second Sister Inquisitor) and incorporates translucent parts to their sculpt (forearms, biceps, lower legs and knee area, and abdomen).
Additional searching has turned up info for a repaint of the upcoming Black Series Boba Fett Electronic Helmet in the famous white coloration to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back.
Hunting around the web today has turned up search results for a second FORCE FX Lightsaber coming later this year – and its for the Phantom Menace himself, Darth Sidous. It is also rumor to be part of the Elite line which features a removable blade and a $250 price tag.
On this episode we discuss the latest reveals from Hasbro’s Star Wars line at the 2020 New York Toy Fair. We give our thoughts on new figures from The Black Series, The Vintage Collection, Retro Collection, Galaxy of Adventure and more. We are once again joined by Jayson from Yakface.com. Give a listen, there is a lot to talk about.
