Some interesting new rumors have developed tonight via a new list that was published but Jedi Insider. With that info in hand I took a crack finding info for these figures and low and behold I found corroboration for some of those plus others. In all, there are 15 new Black Series figure listings from The Clone Wars, Rogue One, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and The Mandalorian for your review. Click on through for the “proof” courtesy of Walmart’s app.
Update: The page of figures listed at JediInsider has been removed.
A shelf tag from a ToysRUs in Canada confirms the rumor of an upcoming Deluxe (D4) from the Black Series featuring Luke Skywalker (Dagobah) and Yoda. No word yet on availability in the US but it’s thought to be a fan channel release.

I also managed to visually “confirm” our previous rumor of the upcoming Wave 2 for Hasbro’s Retro Collection assortment consisting of Lando Calrissian, Bespin Luke, Boba Fett, Yoda, Hoth Han Solo and Hoth Leia Organa. Look for official confirmation tomorrow at Toy Fair.
Our pre-Toy Fair tailgating continues with rumor confirmation of wave 2 of the 40th Anniversary Collection of 6″ Black Series figure for The Empire Strikes Back.
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.
