Also revealed yesterday at Manga Barcelona was the Vintage Collection Remnant Stormtrooper from The Mandalorian. This figure utilizes the excellent Rogue One Imperial Stormtrooper sculpt and features a weathered deco.
If our info is correct, this Trooper is the figure codenamed “DUCK” in our Master List of UPCs/SKUs. Interestingly, that would also support our theory that the upcoming TVC “DUCKBOAT” vehicle is directly related to this figure and is may be a new Troop Transport which would be quite awesome considering Jon Favreau’s affinity for designs and concepts from the Original Trilogy and EU/Legends.
Recently, several new clothing items have popped up via various retailers (Amazon, Macy’s, Kohl’s, Her Universe etc.) which share a lot of the same key art for The Mandalorian. One in particular seems to have not gotten much fanfare is a new Outland TIE Fighter which looks to have collapsable wings for landing. It will be interesting to see how this features in series and if we’ll get one in toy form, in any scale, any time soon.
This past weekend there were plans to show another TVC vehicle at one of the conventions but it was pulled from reveals at the last minute. As evidence of this fact, BBTS had the “Duckboat” listing as part of their preorder email newsletter announcement this morning (shown above) but it currently directs to a dead link.
Without revealing the full details to protect my source(s), I can say that this is the TVC vehicle from The Mandalorian for 2020 that has been on our list for a few months and it’s “Imperial” in nature. No word yet as to when it will be officially revealed or available for preorder.
Sponsor Entertainment Earth has updated with open preorders for 4 new Black Series figures and 2 new Vintage Collection figures that were revealed officially revealed over the weekend.
We’ve received a couple reports of new 6″ Black Series figures hitting Walmart stores on the east coast. Wave 23 consists of Luke Skywalker (Yavin), Cara Dune, Wedge Antilles, First Order Jet Trooper, and Jannah
We’re getting closer to the premier of The Mandalorian series, and some more Hasbro related items connected to the show will be coming in the near future.
So… how about a Blurrg? Would you be interested in seeing Hasbro introduce this into their TVC lineup? Or TBS? Or… both? Share your thoughts after the jump!
Note: The toy Blurrg shown above is a 3.75″ scale custom sculpted piece by Owen Driscoll, circa 2002.
