Here is the first look at the rumored 6″ Black Series Imperial Probe Droid coming from Hasbro. The inclusion of the logo for The Empire Strikes Back is a great touch to the packaging. Thanks to Pagano Anthony for sharing this on our Facebook page. Image comes courtesy of Jon Jalove who reports finding them at Walmart in Chicago, IL.
While still unofficially announced, I have found shipping info for the upcoming 6″ Black Series Imperial Probe Droid (D3) and it is currently en route to U.S. warehouses from China.
There has been a rumored list floating around for a while, but today I managed to find actual names and links (via the Walmart app) for figures in the Retro Collection for The Empire Strikes Back. Expect an official announcement probably at Toy Fair next month.
Additional evidence supporting our original 6″ Deluxe (D3) Imperial Probe Droid rumor as been found after I was scanning through a few codes via the Walmart app. The product page for the as-of-yet unannounced figure is live on Walmart.com and the app but you obviously can’t order it yet. To be clear, THIS IS NOT A WALMART EXCLUSIVE. Our Master List page has been updated with the pertinent info.
For those holding out on clearance for the Target Exclusive TVC Cave of Evil 3pk, keep an eye out at your local stores as some locations have them marked down as low as $11.98. I picked up a few this morning at my local Fridley, MN store. Your mileage may vary of course.
Some hunting with the Walmart app this morning has yielded two listings for the Retro Collection products for The Empire Strikes Back. A couple weeks ago, we also reported that we’d be seeing another game for the line, similar to the Escape Death Star with Grand Moff Tarkin, this one being the Hoth Ice Planet game. The other listing is for the next assortment of 6 figures.
Thanks to a report from toybizarre on Instagram, Amazon.es has listed a potential exclusive 6″ Black Series set featuring Chewbacca and C-3PO with removable limbs from The Empire Strikes Back.
Update: exclusive retail partner for US has not been announced yet.
