After an extensive search online, we’ve located and added the UPCs and Walmart SKUs for the second wave of 6″ Black Series Archive (BSA) figures to our 2019Master List of products. As you recall, Hasbro officially announced back in October at NYCC 2018 that wave 2 would consist of Anakin Skywalker, Yoda and the Biker Scout/Scout Trooper. Darth Maul* on the other hand has been on our rumor lists for a while and based on the UPC info found above, we now have Maul’s accurate (yet unofficial) confirmation. Case breakdown isn’t known at this time but we can guess that it will be similar to Wave 1 with a 2x pack out.
*Note: the image for Maul is not of the actual BSA figure.
There is one glaring absence in a certain crew of rebels that will be filled sometime in late 2019. If you’ve followed along with some of the other rumor articles or through various Black Series groups on Facebook, you’ll know the answer. If not, you won’t have to go far.
Hello there. Hasbro has released boxed and loose images for the upcoming 6″ Black Series General Grievous Deluxe figure. Click on through for the images. Preorders open this week (Wednesday).
Update: Grievous will be a fan channel/online exclusive
We have what I think is a fun little exercise in “guess the Black Series figures” coming out in 2019. I’ve posted a series of 12 clues after the break to help narrow the field to the 3 characters. Ready? Set? Guess!
Let’s start the new year off with what I think is the UPC/DPCI/TCIN info for the upcoming Target Exclusive 6″ Black Series Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper Disguise/Trash Compactor) figure. This info is not 100% confirmed at this point but some searching and cross referencing has pointed me to this conclusion. If anything further develops, we’ll post a confirmation.
I went by my local Five Below yesterday to see how many TBS figures were left after Christmas… and it was a lot. After being down to just stacks of Jyn, Cassian, and Krennic, they had restocked the pegs yet again to the max with more figures.
Any guesses as to what other 6″ waves they might be getting in after the Baze / Chirrut wave? Or will it be isolated to just this one wave getting dumped there? Share your thoughts after the jump!
As 2018 draws to a close, I continue to research and scour the interwebs for clues of upcoming product from Hasbro for the new year. Our unpublished 2019 list is growing rapidly and recently I came across a new listing for a potential exclusive for April’s Star Wars Celebration Chicago.
