After an extensive search online, we’ve located and added the UPCs and Walmart SKUs for the second wave of 6″ Black Series Archive (BSA) figures to our 2019 Master List of products. As you recall, Hasbro officially announced back in October at NYCC 2018 that wave 2 would consist of Anakin Skywalker, Yoda and the Biker Scout/Scout Trooper. Darth Maul* on the other hand has been on our rumor lists for a while and based on the UPC info found above, we now have Maul’s accurate (yet unofficial) confirmation. Case breakdown isn’t known at this time but we can guess that it will be similar to Wave 1 with a 2x pack out.
*Note: the image for Maul is not of the actual BSA figure.
Columbia Sportswear has officially revealed their next offering in their Limited Edition Star Wars line of jackets. The Star Wars Empire Crew parka is a tribute to that iconic blue and orange crew parka from the Norwegian location shoot for Hoth. It is set to launch on December 7th for $500.00. There will also be a limited number of jackets signed by Mark Hamill ($1,980*).
