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.
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.
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).
Hasbro has official announced the three exclusives slated for release at Hasbro Pulse Con later this fall.
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
TheBlack 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
No specific date has been set for preorder or release but it’s a good bet that Pulse Premium Members will get first crack at these when the time comes. Click the links above for additional images and details.
Thanks to some in-hand packaging shots from a Facebook member, we now have the VC numbers for Wave 7 of the Vintage Collection. They breakdown as follow:
It’s nice to have that 176 gap officially filled after the error of issuing the two Walmart Exclusive TVC figures – Din Djarin and The Child and the Incinerator Stormtrooper the VC177 designation. Now the question is: Who is VC200?
Long rumored to be joining Lando Calrissian “Antarctica”, IG-11 “Huron” and Teebo “Ontario”, Amazon AU has updated the listing for “Erie” as well confirming The Emperor coming to the Vintage Collection. The pages and listings are no longer visible publicly but remain visible to those who added them to a list for future purchase when available.
According to a few Amazon AU listings, it looks like we can expect the release of a few of the announced “pipeline” Black Series figures on or around November 1, 2021. Figures include Boba Fett (Tython), Migs Mayfeld (Morak) and the Stormtrooper (Jedha Patrol).
