Tech site, Gizmodo gets the exclusive official reveal of two of the four (known) Black Series exclusive figures for Andor. As we stated previously, the Shoretrooper and Imperial Officer (Ferrix) will be available for preorder at Target on Friday, September 23 at 9am ET.
Following up on our exclusive report of the Target Exclusive Black Series Shoretrooper from Andor and the announcement of additional code names, Usual Mike on YouTube has posted images of the 3 other Black Series exclusives: Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission), Imperial Officer (Dark Times) and Imperial Officer (Ferrix). The code names and retailers breakdown as follows:
“Navy” Shoretrooper – Target
“Ocean” Imperial Officer (Ferrix) – Target
“Turquoise” Imperial Officer (Dark Times) – Walmart
“Royal” Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission) – Walmart
Sponsor Entertainment Earth is now taking preorders for the (former GameStop Exclusive) Black Series 13th Battalion Trooper (Gaming Greats) figure from Jedi: Fallen Order.
Images have now surfaced of the upcoming convention exclusive Black Series ROTJ 40th Anniversary Admiral Ackbar figure – complete with Kenner-insired deco and baton. Look for details on availability outside of the MCM London Comic Con (October 28-November 1) soon.
Thanks to Bossk’s Bounty for the heads-up.
Update: Loose images added.
Doing some additional investigating regarding the Deluxe Black Series figures for the 40th Anniversary for Return of the Jedi, I not only came across the price of $33.99 each (regular ROTJ40 figures are $24.99) but I believe, based on the store code, found a third deluxe item. No word what character it may be yet, but there is a pretty short list of who it may be if it’s a repack. A third deluxe may also indicate a third wave as well.
Doing a bit of research today I believe I have found evidence of a third Black Series Halloween themed figure. No word on the design of the figure itself or its retail home, but the code name and Hasbro SKU does fall in line with the previously announced “Skull Clone Trooper” (Target) and “Were-Wookiee” (Walmart).
Notifications are being received from Entertainment Earth (and likely others) that the Hasbro has informed them of “the discontinued production” of the Black Series Captain Rex (#59) from the black/red packaging.
Thanks to Luke M. for the alert.
Hong Kong retailer Hobbybase has started to receive the Concept Series Black Series Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader Set that will be exclusive to ShopDisney in the U.S – hopefully within the next month.
Today we add two new code names for Black Series figures from Andor: “Royal” and “Turquoise”. Both of these figures should be exclusive to Walmart in the U.S.. Stay tuned for more details on these figures soon.
More Andor news. We’ve received info for another potental exclusive for the Black Series from Andor – Cassian Andor Imperial Officer). No word yet as to which retailer this will land but I should be able to figure that out in the next few days.
