Sponsor DorksideToys has launched a special May 4th Sale! Head on over to check out savings on Black Series, Vintage Collection, Mission Fleet and non-Star Wars items as well!
I’ve been doing some research and conferring with sources over the past few days to get some sort of grasp on what may (and may not) be revealed and available for preorder tomorrow. That being said, take what I say with a grain of salt to tamp down lofty expectations.

It’s #TimeForTonnika. For decades, fans have been asking Hasbro to produce 3.75″ action figures of the Tonnika Sisters from the world-famous Cantina sequence in the original Star Wars. In 2017, they placed fourth in Hasbro’s official Fan Choice poll for Star Wars The Vintage Collection. In the past, there have been legal hurdles preventing at least one of these figures from becoming a reality. But that has changed.
Angela Staines, who portrayed one of the sisters, is ready to move forward with Lucasfilm to make her Tonnika Sister figure a reality. Hasbro is aware of this and so is Lucasfilm. The ball is in Lucasfilm’s court. Finally releasing the Tonnika Sisters would be an acknowledgement of the steadfast faith the fans have placed in Lucasfilm and Hasbro over decades of various Star Wars content and toy lines. It would also bring to a close the years of legend and mystery surrounding these two characters.

As part of next week’s May the 4th festivities, watch for 2, maybe 3, 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats figures to go up for preorder at GameStop. It is unknown at this time who they are or what game they are from but rest assured it will be a busy day for preorders for Black Series and Vintage Collection items from various retailers.
Following up again on our continued research of new products coming to the Vintage Collection, I have found that cases of the mystery figure “SW VIN TRIANGLE” have arrived in the U.S. This figure along with “SQUARE” and “RECTANGLE” are speculated to be another batch of Walmart exclusive TVC figures. Hopefully we shall find out next week.
Recent shipping data shows that the recently announced TVC Gaming Greats figures for the Scout Trooper (“Magnolia/Rollerball”), Shadow Stormtrooper (‘Mayflower/Marker”) and Heavy Battle Droid (“Marigold/Fountain”) have already entered the U.S. from Canada – well ahead of their August/September release date. It is unknown if they’ll be held back until then or ship to customers early.
As a follow up to our report from last month, the three new shape codes “Triangle”, “Square” and “Rectangle” we received now show up on the Walmart app and after some additional research we have determined that these are indeed exclusive to Walmart. They are priced similarily ($12.99) to the exclusive Endor Leia, Paploo and AT-ST Driver TVC figures and ship in their own case packs of 6. ETA is still unknown as is their secondary code name and identity. More as we learn more.
Not to be out done, Walmart has also started to receive the new TVC reissue wave. This image was sent to us via Dave F. from Appleton, ,WI on Twitter.
