Hasbro Cancels Cara Dune Figures?!?

By Jay Cochran on 2021-02-12 in Action Figures
The folks over at Yakface are reporting that in light of the news earlier this week about LucasFilm and The Mandalorian actress Gina Carano going their seperate ways, Hasbro is canceling most of their upcoming planned Cara Dune figures.

According to the report, the planned reissues of the 6″ Black Series and Vintage Collection figures have been cancelled. The previously announced 3 3/4" Retro figure which was probably to far along in the production process to cancel is apparently still coming.

It should come as no surprise to folks, but in light of all this recent news this week, secondary market prices on eBay for any Cara Dune figure has gone up exponentially. Whether any of these figures maintain any kind of long-term value after all the dust settles remains to be seen.

I feel like there's a bit of a difference between "sold by Disney" and "sold at a London Disney Store." One implies they'd be selling that at multiple Disney Stores and on ShopDisney.com and the other that they just found some figures and put them on the shelf.

That's what it looks like, but, it's strange, to me, that they're being sol by Disney, after the last pre-orders were cancelled

How do we know this wasn't a warehouse find?

More old style packaging rereleases?!?

A warehouse find, that was offered/cancelled and then available again from the people who cancelled it in the first place?!?!?

You may recall back in 2021 that Hasbro seemed to stop producing Kara Dune action figures after the actress who played the character came into conflict with Disney. Well looks like she may be back at least in action figure form. Alex lets us know he saw the figure on sale recently at the London Disney store. How widely available the figure becomes remains unknown but if you still need this one, you may want to keep your eyes open for it.??

Hello,

Thank you for Pre-ordering from BigBadToyStore!

We have been informed by Hasbro that they have canceled production of theStar Wars: The Black Series 6" Cara Dune (The Mandalorian)and will not be fulfilling our order. Unfortunately this means we must cancel our pre-orders for this item. We apologize for the inconvenience and greatly appreciate your understanding.

Wow, talk about getting the boot. Even collectors are feeling the kick and we didn't do anything. Most certainly an unfortunate set of events.

Knew this was coming. I'm guessing if they haven't already gotten one, Sideshow should expect a notice from Lucasfilm on Monday, telling them not to move forward with their Cara Dune PF figure.

I was just recently thinking about collecting the new suit Mando and Carablack series. But now all my Star Wars hopes and dreams down the drain. How do I tell Darth Vader that he is my sole Star Wars figure and will remain so? Maybe I can purchase a storm trooper and let him tell Vader the bad news.

Get a Second Sister Inquisitor figure she pairs up nicely with Darth Vader.

I was wondering, wasn't Cara Dune Peg-warmer or am Iwrong?

In my area she sold the most after The Mandalorian figure,this was shortly after the Triple Force Friday. I don't know if it was that way in other places.
