Collectors are reporting receiving various shipping updates for most of the upcoming Walmart exclusive Vintage Collection figures including R2-D2 (Sensorscope), Heldor Spinoza, Stormtrooper, Imperial Gunner and Idsam Edian.
Most of them are currently out of stock or available through 3rd party sellers, except for Idsam Edian which is currently available at MSRP.
You may recall last year we had a look at what was set to be a continuation of the 2020 Holiday Edition Black Series figures, but distribution/production being what it was in 2021, only a handful of unofficiallly announced figures made their way to collectors.
Hasbro today officially annnounced 6 Holiday Edition figures (one of them being new) for 2022. Each has an MSRP of $27.99 and with be available for preorder through various retailers. Retail partners and preorder dates listed below:
First Order Stormtrooper – Amazon 10/25
Scout Trooper – Walmart 11/1
Wookiee – GameStop 11/1
New Clone Trooper (Phase II) – Hasbro Pulse 11/1
Protocol Droid – Fan Channel 11/1
Mandalorian Warrior – Target 11/16
We received several reports on collectors finding the Deluxe Black Series Dark Trooper at both Target and Walmart stores across the U.S.
Walmart.com has updated their site with new graphic for their Collector Con on October 6 and you can just barely make out the silhoutte of the halloween-themed Black Series “Were-Wookiee” that debuted at SDCC this past July.
Also launching that day are preorders for the Black Series Imperial Officer (Dark Times) and Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission) figures.
Entertainment site, Collider gets the exclusive official reveal of two of the four (known) Black Series exclusive figures for Andor. As we stated previously, Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission) and Imperial Officer (Dark Times) will be available for preorder at Walmart on Thrusday, Octoboer 6 at 10am ET.
Following up on our exclusive report of the Target Exclusive Black Series Shoretrooper from Andor and the announcement of additional code names, Usual Mike on YouTube has posted images of the 3 other Black Series exclusives: Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission), Imperial Officer (Dark Times) and Imperial Officer (Ferrix). The code names and retailers breakdown as follows:
“Navy” Shoretrooper – Target
“Ocean” Imperial Officer (Ferrix) – Target
“Turquoise” Imperial Officer (Dark Times) – Walmart
“Royal” Cassian Andor (Aldhani Mission) – Walmart
Doing a bit of research today I believe I have found evidence of a third Black Series Halloween themed figure. No word on the design of the figure itself or its retail home, but the code name and Hasbro SKU does fall in line with the previously announced “Skull Clone Trooper” (Target) and “Were-Wookiee” (Walmart).
Today we add two new code names for Black Series figures from Andor: “Royal” and “Turquoise”. Both of these figures should be exclusive to Walmart in the U.S.. Stay tuned for more details on these figures soon.
