Balancing the Scales: TVC vs TBS Code Name Comparison for 2024

Leave a comment

Without fail, when I post a rumor report regarding one scale or the other, the comments (on social media) turn into an “us versus them” situation in terms of what scale is more heavily favored by Hasbro. Interestingly, I took a look at my rumor list of TVC and TBS code names for 2024 products and you’d probably be (pleasantly?) surprised to hear that I’ve been able to find approximately 30 code names for EACH line. Granted, that’s only what I’ve personally been able to find info for, but as it stands, that’s pretty f’ing balanced.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled slap fight.

For the breakdown of the discovered TVC and TBS code names and how they are weighted, click on through.

Recent shipping data shows that the Hasbro Pulse/ShopDisney exclusive Black Series Clones of the Republic pack featuring Mace Windu and the 187th Legion Clone Trooper are arriving in the U.S.. Expected fulfillment is set for May 1, 2024, but with how Hasbro has been filling orders months in advance, that date is far from set in stone.

Yak’s Top Ten is Back

Leave a comment
It’s time to create some new wish lists of figures that Hasbro will probably never make!

Yak’s Top Ten is back, with the focus taking us back to The Prequel Trilogy Films.

What are the top ten figures that you most desperately want to see made in The Vintage Collection from these films of Star Wars lore? Post your TVC wish list HERE.

You can also do the same thing for the 6″ scale line in The Black Series. Post your 6″ TBS wish list right HERE.

Note: Wish lists may also be posted in the comments section of this article. You may post both a TVC and TBS list, but please do not post your wish lists in this comments section AND in the forums. And please remember to indicate if you’re referring to TVC or TBS with each list.

Happy New Year / Return of the Forums

Leave a comment

From all of us here at Yakface.com, we would like to wish our readers a Happy New Year. 2023 was an interesting year for collecting, with many amazing Hasbro releases, product arriving earlier than expected in some cases, and lots of toys showing up at discount stores.

We look forward to what 2024 will bring with optimism, and hope that you will continue to follow us this year. With that in mind, we have also been working behind the scenes to bring the Yakface Forums back to life. With this came some housekeeping, so some older threads were victims of Order 66, but we hope our readers will enjoy the new features that we’ve been able to enable. And with this, Yakfinities Customizing Challenges will return in 2024, though things might look a little different this year (more to come on that). The Enloe Trials photonovel series will return as well.

Again, Happy New Year and we look forward to another trip around the sun with all of you.

It you are into slightly better versions of problematic figures, there is now a running change for both Black Series Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati where they now have orange-ish hued lightsaber blades. The production runs for these figures initially started with red blades. Keep an eye out at Walmart as both red and orange blade variants of these have been found in stores throughout midwest.
