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.
Poppin’ Off Toys has posted the first look at the upcoming Funko POP! Dagobah Yoda with Hut as part of their POP! Town line.
Thanks to DisFunko on Twitter for the tip.
Searching via the Walmart app and online has yielded results for that still as of yet unannounced Luke Skywalker Snowspeeder Pilot and Hoth Rebel Soldier coming to the 40th Anniversary Collection of 6″ Black Series carded figures to commemorative The Empire Strikes Back. These links join the other 5 figures revealed over the weekend.
The first image of the upcoming 6″ 40th Anniversary Collection for The Empire Strikes Back confirms our 5 of the figures from our rumor list from a couple weeks ago.
Update: A close up image of Luke has been added to the comments section of this article.
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.
As we close out another year of rumors for 2019, I thought I’d leave one more reveal breaking down (all?) the figures planned for the 40th Anniversary Collection of 6″ Black Series figures. Click on through for the list of 12 13.
Some hunting at the Target aisle price scanner tonight has yielded additional confirmation for our previous rumors for the TVC Imperial Troop Transport “Duckboat” (from The Mandalorian) and 6″ Black Series Deluxe “D3” Imperial Probe Droid.
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.
Last month, packaging illustrations for several unannounced Black Series figures accidentally popped up online and have slowly been officially announced (Jedi Knight Revan and the Heavy Infantry Mandalorian for example). Yesterday, I managed to find a listing for a new 6″ Black Series Deluxe figure and all signs point to it being another one of those leaked characters: The Imperial Probe Droid. While many of us have been hoping that Zeb Orrelios would be the next deluxe figure, the timing is right for the Probe Droid as it will be released for the 40th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back.
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.
