The guys over at
Yakface have done some digging and discovered news listings on the
Walmart website indicating a
3rd wave of 6" Black Series figures featured on
Vintage Kenner Empire Strikes Back cardbacks is in the works from
Hasbro. Of course until Hasbro finally gets around to confirming this, we will treat this as rumor. The figures they found listed include the following:
- Snowtrooper
- Luke Skywalker (Dagobah) - We assume the same one coming in the recently announced 2-Pack with Yoda
- Chewbacca
- Boba Fett
- Darth Vader
So unlike
wave 2 which saw new figures being released such as the
Rebel Snowtrooper and
Snowspeeder Outfit Luke (Those figures will see release in the regular Black Series as well), these all appear to be simple re-issues on the Kenner-like cardbacks. These are not listed as Walmart exclusives, so they should end up being released everywhere like the first two waves. Wave 1 and 2 are hitting shelves now. We will update this story as more details become available.
