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 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).

It’s been a while since we’ve posted any rumors, but over the past couple days I’ve heard that there are a few more Jedi characters in the works for the 6” Black Series line. I must admit that the reveal of Anakin (AOTC) and Obi-Wan (AOTC) last weekend was a bit of a surprise considering Dooku has been rumored for so long. Just to be clear, I have heard of at least two of the Jedi pictured above on tap for 2020, that doesn’t necessarily mean there won’t be more.
