In the next couple of weeks, retailers will be taking preorders for the new assortment of 6″ Black Series medium size vehicles which will include products like the Dewback with Sandtrooper that was previewed at SDCC. Toys”R”Us has already started seeing them show up in their databases, expect to pay about $50 for offerings in this assortment.
The Target Exclusive 6″ Luke Skywalker Ahco-To Island is hitting stores pretty heavily now so you may want to wait, if you have been, instead of ordering online. The reason is that there seems to been a varying degree of “eye deco” applied to the reclusive Jedi Master. This morning, my store put out 4 for the sets (shown above) and some have darkened skin paint apps while others, a much lighter treatment or none at all. You may wish to see a few of these in person before ordering blindly. Click the image avoid for a closer look.
Walmart is starting to market their exclusive 6″ Black Series Kylo Ren (Throne Room) via social media but it’s still not available online or in store (in the US). The above ad popped up in my Instagram feed earlier today, hopefully release is imminent.
Black Series Wave 14 (containing Snoke, Rose, Jaina) is starting to hit all over the US. A tell-tale sign that you’ve missed the figures is that the #44 Rey (Jedi Training) carry-forward is on the pegs, but this version includes the battle-damage bloody scratch on her right arm. I found the above example today at Target.
Will K. sends in a report that he was able to pick up the Target Exclusive Luke Skywalker Ahch-To Island figure from his store in Chandler, AZ.
Also of note, this set only includes the diecast hand and not a separate plastic hand as shown in the original solicitation imagery.
Update: apparently, the second hand IS indeed included. It is packaged behind the black frame of the packaging. Again, it is a change in presentation versus the original solicitation image.
