Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives and Jedi News are on the show floor for Celebration Anaheim’s Preview Night and the have provided a great detailed look at new revamped packaging for the 6″ Black Series. It is 1000X better than the orange and blue versions to be sure. Head on over to their respective sites to check these out as well as carded images of The Black Series.
Our friends at JediNews are on the floor at Star Wars Celebration and have been snapping photo of the set up progress. One image caught my eye in particular as it appears that The Black Series is getting a color change again from blue to red and possibly a switch to Chewbacca from the current TIE Pilot. Note the “2015 New Series” text on the side of the display cabinet. You can check out the full image via Instagram or Twitter.
Some of you have seen posts recently regarding the weird shifting scale for some of the new clones in the 3.75″ Black Series line (Rex, Doom, Wolffe). The inconsistency doesn’t stop there as the new 6″ Leia Boushh towers over her previous 6″ body. What is going on here??? Thanks to Kool Kollectibles for the heads up on this image from The Fwoosh.
Jedi Temple Archives has called our attention to an image of an as-of-yet unannounced (but rumored) TRU Exclusive Jabba’s Rancor Pit set posted on Facebook. The set looks to include several repacked figures, but that Jabba in there is drawing attention as it looks to be new. Stay tuned for more details as they arise.
VolkerC has posted some more carded images of upcoming 3.75″ and 6″ scale figures from The Black Series via starwars-figuren.com. Check them out, and share your thoughts in our forums.
UPDATE: You can check out unwatermarked versions at DorksideToys Facebook page.
