While looking for new info regarding upcoming product for 2021, something interesting developed. As some may know, the production title for the new animated spin-off series, The Bad Batch, was “Cookies”. There have been some products tied to that code name, most prominently an assortment of POP!s from Funko which I tweeted about a week ago. The other day, I ran across a Hasbro product bearing a related code name. In order to protect those who are sensitive to spoilers, you’ll have to click through for the identity of this character.
Thanks to a tweet from FunkoPopsNews, we have our first look at two of the long rumored Clone Force 99 members Hunter and Crosshair from “The Bad Batch” as well as the recently rumoredAsajj Ventress from the Black Series line. Look for these to be announced officially soon.
Also as a follow up to our recent report of the Deluxe Clone Trooper found in EBGames system, I now believe based on these reveals that the deluxe clone is Wrecker – also from The Bad Batch.
Take a look at these beauties from Funko! They’ve gone hard into The Clone Wars Final Season with various POP!s including Ahsoka, Maul, Bo Katan, Gar Saxon, Wrecker, and more. Plus 2 exclusive POP!s for GameStop and FunkoShop. All but the exclusive Mandalorian is available for preorder now.
A new case listing from DiecastCompany.nl shows a breakdown of new Star Wars Character Cars for The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch. We got our first look at the concept for “The Child” character car this year at SDCC@Home but this assortment also confirms a character car for Cara Dune (from The Mandalorian) plus Wrecker from The Bad Batch. Will the Huckleberry car be a reissue of the previous version(s) or a shiny Beskar version with new tooling?
Thanks to the Star Wars Hot Wheels Collectors group on Facebook for the heads up.
Confirming a month old rumor by our friends at Kessel Run Transmissions, Lucasfilm and Disney officially announced a new Star Wars series “The Bad Batch” coming to Disney+ in 2021. For full details, check out StarWars.com.
Expect to see some new action figures to support this series as well.
