We’ve just been informed by our sponsor DorksideToys that the revision case assortment that was to include 3x of the 6″ Boba Fett figures has been canceled by Hasbro. The breakdown of this case was as follows:
Rebelscum has updated today posting the first look at packaged samples of Vader, Chewbacca, Jedi Luke and Sandtrooper (Black Pauldron) in the revamped Black (& Blue) Series line look. Head on over for a closer look.
YodasNews is reporting that we can expect a Bossk, C-3PO and Han Solo in Stormtrooper Disguise coming to the 6″ Black Series line. They are also stating that soon, retailers will be able to order full cases of figures including Stormtroopers and Boba Fett. Head on over for their full report.

Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have been posting some detailed, in-hand images of the new 3-3/4″ Black Series Dagobah Luke and Yoda figures. In the photography I noticed that the production version of the training backpack now features a side release buckle closure for the chest strap – original images showed a velcro/hook and loop style closure. Click the image above for a larger comparison.
For collectors concerned about the white “skirt” shown on the original solicitation images for the 6″ Anakin Skywalker, you can now breathe as loose images for the figure have turned up on eBay with the proper brown fabric. Pre-order yours now at DorksideToys for only $14.99
