Rumor Report Update: TVC “Gem” Figure UnEarthed

Last night, KyloCollector on Instagram posted the first look at a Carbonized TVC Mandalorian figure that was found at Target. The discovery confirms that these figures are the rumored “Gem” items on our Master List – this one being “EMERALD”. The figure itself gets a deco much like it Black Series counterpart and the iconic TVC cardback gets the foil treatment. The back of the card reveals the other figures in the assortment which include Cara Dune, Remnant Stormtrooper and the Death Trooper.

Rumor Confirmed: 6″ TBS Incinerator Trooper In-Hand Shots

Instagram follower @clone_cooper_customs has provided us the first in-hand look at the upcoming 6″ Black Series Incinerator Trooper from The Mandalorian. As you can see, it closely matches the trooper’s design from the series and includes a nice flame effect tucked back behind the figure’s left arm.

Update: this release also confirms that the Incinerator Trooper is (03) in the series followed by The Armorer (04) as shown in the circled area on the back of the box.

Rumor Report Update: 6″ TBS Mandalorian Build Up Pack Info From Target

Back in June, there was word that a deluxe “build up” pack was headed to the Black Series line for The Mandalorian. Later that month, additional info came to light which was thought to clarify that listing as being for the Vintage Collection. I received a new UPC over the weekend to research and found this morning that it is listed at Target as “STAR WARS MANDO BUILD UP PACK” and confirms the original report of it being for The Black Series. The price on this set is $34.99 and the DPCI is shown above in the image. So, it appears that we are in fact getting TWO Mandalorian build up packs – one for TBS and one for TVC.

Obviously, no official word on availability, but since it’s not showing in various other systems in the U.S., it may be a Target Exclusive.

Rumor Report: Vintage Collection Razor Crest To Be Announced Soon?

I’ve heard some interesting rumors over the past couple of days regarding upcoming products for The Vintage Collection and it sounds like we may not have to wait too much longer for a reveal/announcement for Hasbro’s version of The Razor Crest from The Mandalorian.

As with any rumor we share, until there is an announcement they are unofficial, approximate and subject to cancellation and/or delay by the manufacturer.

UPDATE: Based on a series of very compelling/convincing screenshots received over the past couple of weeks – if true – it appears that the TVC Razor Crest may have a price point of $349.99.

Rumor Report: Convention Exclusive TBS Figure from The Mandalorian

Tonight I have found evidence of yet another “convention exclusive” figure much like the Cad Bane, Heroes of Endor and ARC Trooper sets. Shipping manifest data reveals a pending arrival of SW BL CONVENTION EXCL 4 SAWYER – with “Sawyer” being a coded figure for The Mandalorian series. Speculation is that this character code is attributed to “The Armorer”.

New Hot Wheels Character Cars For The Mandalorian and the Bad Batch

A new case listing from DiecastCompany.nl shows a breakdown of new Star Wars Character Cars for The Mandalorian and The Bad Batch. We got our first look at the concept for “The Child” character car this year at SDCC@Home but this assortment also confirms a character car for Cara Dune (from The Mandalorian) plus Wrecker from The Bad Batch. Will the Huckleberry car be a reissue of the previous version(s) or a shiny Beskar version with new tooling?

Thanks to the Star Wars Hot Wheels Collectors group on Facebook for the heads up.
