6" The Black Series Anakin Skywalker Figures Not Slated For The First Wave Of 2014

By Jay Cochran on 2013-10-31 in Action Figures
Yesterday, we showed you some new official images for Hasbro's third wave of 6" The Black Series figures which has been dubbed by Hasbro as the first wave of 2014. The images showed figures for Bespin Luke Skywalker (ESB), Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ep III), and a Stormtrooper (Ep IV).

Earlier in the month during the NYCC, Hasbro released an official image for another as-of-yet unannounced 6" figure in the form of Anakin Skywalker (Ep III). It was originally thought that Anakin would be the fourth figure released in wave 3 since there had only been three figures announced for that wave while the previous two waves had four figures in them. It turns out that is not the case. Hasbro has confirmed for us that Anakin will be released in a later wave and will not be included in wave 3.

During the NYCC we were told that the decision to go from four figures in a wave to three was to give Hasbro some flexibility to re-release figures that maybe didn't see a huge release the first time around.

So just to be clear, wave 3 or the first wave of 2014 will include the following:

- Bespin Luke Skywalker (ESB)
- Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ep III)
- Stormtrooper (Ep IV)


And Anakin Skywalker (shown below) will be released in a subsequent wave, our guess wave 4.

Hmm...I'm not usually one to get excited about variants with minimal changes, especially Captain Phasma...but I really enjoyed what little screen-time she had in The Last Jedi. Her little "botched-execution" scene followed by her tussle with Finn was pretty cool, actually. I like this one...

Hopefully, with the upcoming Hoth Leia, andrumors of"Bespin Gown L.eia, I see a 6" "Bespin Escape"Leia in the not too distant future.....;)

I've heard rumblings of some Black Series rereleases at some point, no idea if they'll redo face deco,though. (hint, hint, Hasbro? )

Oh, I sure hope so...new Bespin and Jedi Lukes would be much welcomed, along with everyone else that would benefit from the new face technology...

I have been working overtime lately between my regular job and then the last two weekends taking care of a needy family member. I received a small reward today in the form of finding the lone Grand Moff Tarkin at Target! This figure is a gem! I cannot get over the likeness that they captured on this $20 retail figure. I just couldn't stop looking at him. I have a feeling he's going to show up on my top 10 of 2018 when the year comes to a close.

On a smaller note, I also picked up Target exclusive old man Luke with base for $15 on sale. This is the right price for this guy. I love the base on him and the TRU Rey because they remind me of the old Toybiz Marvel Legends.

But, man, that Tarkin.......!
