Hopefully you saw our rumor report of upcoming 6″ Black Series figures we posted last week prior to SDCC. Only a few were revealed but as promised, here are the UPCs and Walmart SKUs for those main line figures. These have been added to our Master List as well. Watch for our UPC update regarding the rumored and revealed Vintage Collection figures soon.
Here is our gallery of images for Hasbro’s Panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Thanks to Cargo Hold team member Chris for passing these on to us.
Evidence of another 6” Black Series Exclusive has surfaced from EB Games in Canada. And due to the mythological code name of “Conan” we can assume that it somehow ties to Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Thanks to Avi G. for the heads up and Ben R. for the image.
UPDATE: this figure is 6” Moloch (code named Chronos in the US at Target)
ShopDisney now has a listing for the shared 6” Black Series Clone Commander Wolffe. Priced at a competitive $19.95, it is currently on backorder and will be available on or around Sept. 3. That’s a nice sign for 6” Zuckuss if that retail partnership holds true.
Thanks to Twitter follower @j5unD for the heads-up.
update: Also Available on Barnes & Noble.
While doing some research over the past couple of days on few new UPCs I found on Brickseek, I came across more as-of-yet unannounced and rumored products for the Black Series and by “more” I can confirm 17. If you frequent some of the Black Series groups on Facebook, I’ve been “hinting” at some of them, but if not and your curiosity is piqued, click on through and maybe we’ll see some of these confirmed at SDCC this year.
GameStop Exclusive 6″ Black Series Clone Commander Wolffe is once again available to order online.
Well, it looks it our initial report of the Vintage Collection wave 2 was accurate after all as Robot Kingdom has posted the case assortment breakdown. 3 new figures will be issued in this wave: Han Solo, Enfys Nest, Imperial Combat Tank Driver plus a repack Death Trooper from Walmart’s exclusive TBS line and finally, 4 peg roasting carry forwards consisting of Kylo Ren, Rey, Supreme Leader Snoke and First Order Stormtrooper. Head on over to check it out, plus take a gander at the (poorly kept secret) Enfys Nest carded figure.
Sponsor DorksideToys has posted new boxed images via Instagram of the 3 new 6″ Black Series figures from Wave 18. Click on through to check out #68 Tobias Beckett, #69 Rebel Trooper and #70 Han Solo (Bespin).
Let’s say that in the future, Hasbro decided to revisit some older, in demand Black Series characters (like they’ve done recently with Darth Revan for example). How do you think they should go about it? Straight reissues or slight tweaks to preserve the extrinsic value of the first release(s)? Complete retooling/redecoing to improve upon existing sculpts? And what would you call this special line of Black Series figures – Black Series Greatest Hits? Black Series Redux? Best of the Black Series? Feel free to comment on the characters you’d like see again (or maybe for the first time) at retail.
Finally! The proper Walmart Exclusive 6” Black Series Mimban Stormtrooper UPC/SKU has been found – thanks to @GWshunter on Twitter for the assist.
