As we theorized back in April, I was able to confirm that the 4 Target Exclusive Black Series figures from The Clone Wars (Obi-Wan, Anakin, ARC Trooper Echo and Clone Pilot Hawk) are indeed a part of the Father’s Day promo and will be located in a special section in stores set to launch* on May 23. Other Star Wars items include clothing and POP!s.
*YMMY whether your store sets before or after that planned date.
On this episode we talk about The Bad Batch on Disney+(no spoilers), Hasbro’s Fan First May the Fourth livestream event and the #TimeForTonnika petition started by Victoria’s Cantina. Please make sure to click here and sign the petition on change.org to let Hasbro, Disney & Lucasfilm know that we really need Tonnika Sisters made for The Vintage Collection.
Online retailer Zavvi has preorders available for the Target Exclusive Clone Wars figures. I plead ignorance on their reliabliity or shipping practices but if you’re desperate for an alternative they may be for you.

I’ve been doing some research and conferring with sources over the past few days to get some sort of grasp on what may (and may not) be revealed and available for preorder tomorrow. That being said, take what I say with a grain of salt to tamp down lofty expectations.

Word is there may be another Black Series roleplay item up for preorder next week. If you recall, the Wedge Antilles Helmet had a code name of “Couch” while this new item has a code name of “Chair” – the furniture theme seems to indicate they’d be part of the same segment of collectibles. Could it be Rey’s yellow lightsaber from TROS or something wearable. We shall see in a couple of days.
Instagram follower ToyingAround has shared a couple in-hand images of the upcoming Target Exclusive Black Series TCW Anakin Skywalker and Clone Pilot Hawk. ToyingAround will be doing a live unboxing of these figures in partnership with Hasbro and ToysRUs – the exclusive distributor for these in Canada – on May 4th at 7:30pm ET.
