Upon revisiting our Target DPCI list we posted on July 2, one of the listings (087-06-8397) is now updated with a new coded description: “E8 BL Tango Black”. Since it is pretty specific and is reported as having a 10/1 release date and $19.99 price point, we suspect this may be an exclusive figure for The Last Jedi.
Remember how things were broken down for The Force Awakens 3.75″ basic figures? Figures and vehicles were grouped into 4 categories: “Forest”, “Snow”, “Desert” and “Space”. For The Last Jedi, the Star Wars Universe (SWU) is broken down into two categories, “Orange” and “Teal”. These color designation may have some alternate definition later on, but for now this is how they are being grouped.
As we continue to gather details for Force Friday II in September, we’ve managed to assemble a preliminary “rumor” list of two waves of Black Series figures slated for release starting Sept 1. Wave 1 has been nailed down for a while but Wave 2 has some “newness” to it.
Walmart.com has posted a listing (found with a simple search) for a Jakks Pacific Pinball game for the The Last Jedi that give ultra-clear images of some of the new characters from the film. Click on through for the images.
Our friends at Jeditemplearchives.com have posted an article hinting that Hasbro might finally be upgrading the basic 3.75″ movie figure line with The Last Jedi with more than 5POA .
We can only hope this holds true considering the overall letdown the mainline 3.75″ toy line has been (and lack of retail success) over the past few years.
Head on over and check out what they had to say after the jump!
Today we have an update regarding the status of the highly anticipated 6″ Black Series Hera Syndulla figure. As you know, she was pushed back out of wave 11 in order for Hasbro to refine the figure a bit. Now, we can share that Hera will be slotted into the first wave of 6″ Black Series figures for The Last Jedi, launching on Sept 1 (Force Friday). Click on through to check out some new images.
Today we have a sizable list of complied UPCs, Walmart SKUs and Target DPCIs for known 6″ Black Series (Deluxe and Centerpiece lines), Forces of Destiny Adventure Figures, and other Hasbro Star Wars related products coming out over the next couple of months.
