We’ve read and received reports that the Walmart Exclusive 6″ Black Series Mandalorian Super Commando from The Clone Wars has started hitting stores. The image above was from a store in North Lauderdale, FL and this tweet we posted was from San Antonio, TX.
As a follow up to our exclusive report from Aug 19, a couple independent, anonymous sources have indicated that the next wave of Retro Collection figures will be from The Mandalorian. Nothing is confirmed until Hasbro announces it, of course, or they are found in stores (which ever comes first).
UPDATE: Figures in the assortment will include The Mandalorian, Cara Dune, The Child, Greef Karga, Moff Gideon, IG-11 and Kuiil and are NOT EXCLUSIVE to Walmart.
UPDATE 2: Today I found the DPCI (087-16-7465) info for this assortment at Target, further supporting the news that these are not exclusives to Walmart.
Walmart will be taking preorders at 4pm for the TVC Carbonized Collection assortment of figures from The Mandalorian. Each are priced at $17.99 and should be available around December 1.
Several new 6″ Black Series code names have been revealed via the Walmart app. These names continue the trend of U.S. states and cities being used to mask the identities of the characters themselves. These figures should be released well into 2021 and as of now it is unknown any or all are exclusive.
It looks like there is a third 6″ Black Series “Holiday Trooper” coming soon from Hasbro. Checking my usual resources, it shows that dozens of cases of “SW BL HOLIDAY TROOPER 2” are currently en route to the U.S.. This mystery trooper joins the Walmart Holiday Trooper 5 discovered back in June and the Star Wars Holiday Trooper that was rooted out from Target system a couple weeks ago. Price for all 3 of them are about $25 each.
A couple weeks ago we posted word of the possibility of 2 new 6″ Black Series Deluxe figures coming to the line later this year, early next. With some searching via the Walmart app, the second set has been located. It is rumored that the first of these is Jar Jar Binks and the second has yet to be uncovered. Neither set is exclusive to Walmart and both are priced at $29,99. More info to come when available.
Poking around the Walmart app this morning yielded results for the leaked* assortment breakdown of next year’s Black Series Archive wave. Word is they are $22.99 each – will there be a higher price point for the Black Series next year and will other lines/scales be affected as well?
*Note: Entertainment Earth has removed the listing from their site.
Last night I managed to locate a listing for another unannounced 6″ Black Series Deluxe figure via the Walmart app. It is listed simply as SW BL Deluxe Figure 1 without pricing. But with some additional checking via source TargetGod, I was able to confirm the price of $29.99 making it not exclusive to either store.
There is a second deluxe figure as well and will update with more info when located.
Some late night and early morning digging has uncovered new 6″ Black Series listings via the Walmart app. 7 new “state” codename figures join those from our previous report in July. The new ones are: “Iowa”, “Ohio”, “Kansas”, “South Carolina”, “Tennessee”, “Alabama” and “Georgia”. No further details are known of the figure at this time.
Shipping info today reveals that the upcoming Walmart exclusive 6″ Mandalorian Super Commando “Mauldolorian” and the Target exclusive 6″ Commander Pyre are currently en route to the US.
Correction: I misidentified the Mandalorian as the Loyalist. Text above has been updated.
