Thanks to an Instagram post from professiorbtoyshop, it appears that there is a Black Series Cantina Set of sorts which may be one of the SDCC/Hasbro Pulse Exclusives which we reported on back in May.
This set features an(other) Obi-Wan Kenobi with photoreal likeness as well as two new figures Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan and a portion of the cantina’s bar and dispensery. This potential set is in keeping with how Hasbro has released figures in the past like last year’s Heroes of Endor Set since we know (unofficially) that both “Walrusman” and “Roofoo” are coming in the standard Black Series line later this year.
Poking around at Target’s price checking stations, I managed to uncover two new potential Black Series exclusives that follow the “exercise” code names started by “Lunge” which we reported a couple months ago.
“Squat” is currently priced similarly to the recent Target exclusive Clone Wars figures at $26.49, while “Jog” is $10 more and suggests it being a deluxe item.
The UPCs I have for these don’t match anything I’ve previously uncovered (yet) so these are definitely new items. This info has been added to our 2021 Master List for future reference.
According to a few Amazon AU listings, it looks like we can expect the release of a few of the announced “pipeline” Black Series figures on or around November 1, 2021. Figures include Boba Fett (Tython), Migs Mayfeld (Morak) and the Stormtrooper (Jedha Patrol).
I received some information yesterday from a few different sources corroborating some of the existing code names we have for Black Series with some rumored figures we’ve shared as well. Click on through for the details and when we may expect them.
Collectors have been anxiously awaiting some sort of update on the official release/preorder of the Walgreens Exclusive 6″ Black Series 212th Battalion Clone Trooper announced last week. So here’s a “non-update” update: as of today, Walgreens still doesn’t have this in their system – neither online nor in-store.
If we use the last Walgreens exclusive as a guide, the 6″ Phase I Clone Trooper Lieutenant never went up for preorder either. It was leaked on August 18, 2020, officially announced on August 21, and then went online for purchase (not preorder) a month later on September 18. I wouldn’t be surprised if something similar happened for the new 212th Clone Trooper.
Our friends at TheFwoosh alert us to 3 new store exclusive Black Series going up for preorder tomorrow at 1pm EDT. Figures include:
Crosshair (Imperial) from The Bad Batch – Walmart Captain Rex from The Bad Batch – Walmart 212th Battalion Clone Trooper from The Clone Wars – Walgreens
Revealed today via our friends at From 4LOM to Zuckuss, Hasbro Pulse and ShopDisney will offering starting tomorrow, preorders for 3 new Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary Commemorative 6″ Figures replicating the POTF2 line from 1995. Figures include Greedo “Spoon”, Han Solo “Fork” and Luke Skywalker. Preorders open at 1pm EDT.
The Walmart Exclusive 6” Black Series Imperial Clone Shock Trooper “Detroit” and Vice Admiral Rampart “Louisiana” have arrived in the U.S. distribution center in California. No word when/if they will hit stores or if they will ship early to those who preordered.
A couple new Black Series codes have been found this evening. “Spoon” and “Fork” are the latest mystery figures to join our ever-growing list of upcoming figures for this year. It is unknown who these figures are at the moment but they do ship individually in cases of 8, don’t correspond with any existing SKUs I currently have and they have arrived in the U.S..
