The mystery Black Series “Louisiana” figure is now up for preorder on Walmart.com.
Update: This figure has been idenified as Vice Admiral Rampart – a new character from The Bad Batch – revealed today by Hasbro.
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.

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.
Poking around through the Walmart app, I located a listing for a new Black Series figure – code named “LOUISIANA”. Based on the higher price point it looks to be another exclusive figure of some sort. No word on who it may be or when it will be available.
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.
Hasbro is continuing on with those minimally articulated “value” figures with the release of The Child with Hover Pram and The Mandalorian. Instagrammer talkingnerdywithdm reports finding trays of these near the checkout of a Walmart in Utah. The tray also includes repacks of Darth Vader, Han Solo, Jedi Luke Skywalker, C-3PO and the First Order Stormtrooper. Priced at $4.98 each.
