Collectors have been clamoring for more and more 6″ Black Series Prequel figures and Hasbro has satisfied those pleas most recently with the release of Mace Windu, Padme Amidala, Battle Droid and the pending mainline version of Obi-Wan Kenobi (Padawan). Even with those stellar figures in collectors’ hands, they want more. I’ve discovered new info that will add 3 more characters – one from each film in the Prequel Trilogy.

Some more late night digging turned up a non-sequential UPC for an upcoming 6″ Black Series figure from The Rise of Skywalker. The figure is coded similarly to other speculated troopers with the label “E9 Bruges Rocket Pearl” – could this be the white First Order Rocket Trooper seen in those quick frames in the teaser trailer? Time will tell. Feel free to give your own theories as the the identity of this character.
Look for order processing/shipping notifications for the Target Exclusive 6” Black Series Luke Skywalker (Death Star Escape) to start hitting your inboxes
There is one more thing that I neglected to mention before. Recently Hasbro decided to reissue 6″ Black Series Commander Gree as a fan channel exclusive. Don’t be too shocked if we see some other in-demand main line and previously exclusive figures make their way to collectors via fan channel releases.
In case you missed them all, here are individual links to the Hasbro rumor reports we have posted over the past couple of days in reverse chronological order:
Finally for reveals today (maybe) is a drop of some new UPCs/SKUs for upcoming 6″ Black Series figures. If you’ve follow our rumors and hints here and on social media for a few months, the first two on the list above won’t be a surprise. Note “LA” codes probably stand for “live action” for characters from The Mandalorian. All codes have been added to our Master List for quick reference.
After breaking the news of the new Hyperreal line back in February, I have discovered more information pertaining to the next release and it is, not surprisingly, Luke Skywalker. What’s in question is which version of Luke it is as I originally heard is was from The Last Jedi, but new info says its from The Empire Strikes Back. That being said, originally Vader was listed as being from A New Hope, but it is now listed as being from Empire. We’ll have to see when Luke is officially announced or more leaks occur (whichever comes first). Until then, the UPC and Walmart SKU has been added to our Master List.
HasbroPulse.com has now opened orders for the 20th Anniversary Obi-Wan and Darth Maul Black Series figure from Star Wars Celebration Chicago.
Update: Up and sold out
How about another? Expect to see a new version of Luke Skywalker from Return of the Jedi in the not to distant future.
Here’s a big one, I just found info for an upcoming 6″ Black Series Yoda (Force Ghost) from The Last Jedi. You heard it here first! No word on exclusivity.
