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.
Hasbro’s latest reveals from MCM Comic-Con today confirm our long standing rumors of a New 6” Black Series Knight of Ren and Zorii Bliss from The Rise of Skywalker plus the Vintage Collection titular character, The Mandalorian.

Note: the Knight of Ren figure above may in fact be a TVC figure as those knee joints don’t look like those from 6” Black Series figures. This could be a mixup like what happened when the 6” Sith Trooper was revealed. (update: a clearer pic has surfaced and this is a 6” image)
Hasbro revealed a few new figures today at Comic-Con Paris including 2 new Black Series figures: Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker from Attack of the Clones, and officially revealed the Vintage Collection Cara Dune from The Mandalorian figure. You can check out some images over at our friends at Fantha Tracks Facebook page.
If you pre-ordered the latest TVC offerings via Amazon, you might be receiving them this week, so keep an eye on your inboxes for shipping notices.
Personal Note: Hopefully it won’t be long before these begin showing up at retail too! The more of a visual presence Star Wars action figures of all scales have in stores and in front of consumers, the better. Kids aren’t going to ask their parents for toys that they don’t ever see… the hobby always does better when it appeals to a broader audience than just adult collectors who have to resort to ordering online.
Despite what Hasbro told people yesterday at NYCC regarding the number for the TVC Princess Leia Organa (Yavin) being VC150, I can unequivocally state that she is in fact VC164 – just as we stated prior to NYCC and what we had on our “unofficial” checklist. So, we still have a gap in the sequencing.
