It looks like we can expect another 6″ Black Series Build Up Pack from The Mandalorian along the lines of last year’s Din Djarin and The Child set which was exclusive to Target. No word on exclusivity for this set but it’s tentively scheduled for October 2021 in some markets outside of the U.S. We will post an update when we learn more.
We also received word of (at least) 2 more Carbonized Vintage Collection figures coming soon: The Armorer and “Villain” – – no indication who the “Villain” may be but if they can carbonize Cara Dune then releasing Moff Gideon is not out of the question.
Over the weekend, I received information for at least two new 6″ Black Series Credit Collection figures – Moff Gideon and The Armorer – coming at some point this year. As you recall, these figures are simple repaints of existing figures made to emulate their concept art shown at the end of each episode of The Mandalorian and released on Vintage-style cardbacks. No word yet as to which retailer(s) they’ll be offered.
Note: the art above may or may not be used as the basis of the figure’s deco and card art.
If you are looking for a nice savings on the new LEGO Star Wars Boba Fett’s Starship/Slave I from The Mandalorian, and have access to Costco, head on over and grab it for only $38.99 – (MSRP $49.99).
Hot Toys has revealed the full details on their new 1:6 scale Luke Skywalker figure from The Mandalorian. There are 2 versions available standard and deluxe with the latter including a destroyed Dark Trooper torso. Both versions of Luke feature positionable eyes, include Grogu, a hologram of Moff Gideon’s Light Cruiser and a wide variety of swappable accessories. Look for preorders for these to launch soon at Sideshow Collectibles.
UPDATE: Both versions now available or preorder.
Target is now taking preorders for the 3 new Black Series Carbonized figures including the Shoretrooper, Scout Trooper and Paz Vizsla.
Target will be offering reissue of select Black Series figures today as part of their Summer Geek Out campaign.
It appears that Koska Reeves’s packaging may indicate that the Mortar/Artillery Trooper from The Mandalorian is coming to the Black Series line soon. If you deconstruct the packaging, the inner tab shows a pauldron and elbow from stormtrooper. It is unknown if this figure is main line or an exclusive.
Thanks to Photonic Figures for the heads up.
We’ve read and have been receiving reports of the newest wave of Vintage Collection figures (Ahsoka, ARC Trooper Echo, Offworld Jawa) has started hitting Target including stores in Maryland, North Carolina and Florida. Let us know if you find them as well.
Thanks to Joseph G. for the image (and for picking these up for me).

The Black Series Power of the Force Cantina Showdown pays tribute to the 50th Anniversary of Lucasfilm by recreating the Power of the Force Cinema Scene style packaging for Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ponda Baba (with swappable flipper hands) and Dr. Evazan. Instead of the simple cardboard backdrop, it includes components of the cantina itself which as able to connect to other section for expandability. Price $104.99
The Black Series Trapper Wolf (X-wing Pilot) from The Mandalorian inmortalizes Dave Filoni’s character in plastic form in a slipcase packaging style similar to the exclusiveThe Armorer and Cad Bane releases. Sadly, no signature cowboy hat is included. Price: $29.99
The Vintage Collection Emperor’s Throne Room gives us the long-awaited TVC Emperor Palpatine as well has his iconic throne with window, all packed in a Vintage Kenner-style box. Price: $31.99
