Update: Walmart Exclusive TVC Figures Arriving In the US

Based on some searching last night, I have been able to determine that cases of the Walmart Exclusive TVC Paploo “Oval” figure have arrived in the U.S. Hopefully this means the other two (Endor Leia and AT-ST Driver) are not too far behind and they will be up for order soon.

UPDATE: preorder for new TVC items will launch on March 15 at 1pm ET – thanks to Chad R. For the alert.

Rumor Report: Another TVC Code Name Blooms

Another code name for the Vintage Collection has sprouted from the internet and this one joins the bouquet of other flower-themed code names we posted last month. “Daffodil” is currently showing that it has arrived at a Hasbro Distribution in the U.S. No word as to when it may be announced or if it is an exclusive release, but it is likely.

The addition of “Daffodil” increases the total of unannounced TVC figures (with discovered code names) to 15 and our Master List has been updated to include this new figure.

Rumor Report: 3 New “Shape” Code Names for TVC

Tonight I received 3 new code names from a source for upcoming figures for the Vintage Collection designated as “Rectangle”, “Square” and “Triangle”. As you may recall from early in February, we we able to determine that the 3 new Walmart exclusive figure for Paploo, Endor Leia and AT-ST Driver also had shape-themed names (“Oval”, “Octagon”, “Circle”). Could these new three also be Walmart exclusives AND be part of the “Finish the 96” campaign? Time will tell, but they are currently not in Walmart’s system. We’ll update as we learn more info.

New In-Hand Shots of VC187 Princess Leia Bespin Escape

I took some new images of the Princess Leia (Bespin Escape) figure to show that not all is lost with this figure. Straight out of the package, her braids are malformed and pressed against her head. After submerging her head in hot water for a few seconds, the plastic returns to its intended shape and looks much better. Click on through to check out a few more images.

Rumor Report: 3 New TVC Code Names Uncovered

We’ve received intel on a few new TVC code names for some “pipeline” figures coming later this year. To whom they correspond with has yet to be determined but the names are as follows: “Magnolia”, “Marigold” and “Mayflower”. Could they correlate to the rumored Gaming Greats figures for the Vintage Collection? Maybe we’ll find out in a future Fan First Friday.

Thanks to “anonymous” for the report.
