It's
March so it seems like a good time to kick off a new
Rumor Report for the
Star Wars 6" Black Series line. The info below is more to add to info others have been reporting on.
First
anerdydad is teasing another new
Gamestop Gaming Greats figure announcement is going to be coming soon. The most likely outcome for this seems to be some kind of re-issue of the
Jumptrooper Hasbro released back in April 2019 which was also released as a
Gamestop exclusive. You can see parts of the Jumptrooper jetpack featured in the diorama art on the package of the
Gaming Greats Cal Kestis figure that was announced last month.
Next up I wanted to touch upon a rumor
Yakface recently reported on for a possible
Target exclusive
Obi-Wan Kenobi figure in the works. I don't know if it's the same figure Yakface has discovered, but I have seen indications there is a new
Revenge of the Sith Obi-Wan coming in the next wave of
Archive figures, which I don't think will be exclusive to
Target. Other figures I've seen listed for this
Archives wave includes some version of
Leia, Darth Revan, and a
Clone Trooper of some type.
Finally just because we got our first look at
Fennec Shand from the upcoming
Bad Batch animated series this week, I wanted to share news that we will be getting a
6" Black Series version of the character later this year. I
ASSUME it will be based on the live-action version played by
Ming-Na Wen, and not the animated version.
Fennec should be part of the same wave that will include
Aurra Sing, General Lando Calrissian and Zero which
Hasbro confirmed in their last Live-Stream in January were coming.
Yakface recently reported about a
Echo figure coming, so he is likely part of this wave as well, though I have not seen any info confirming that one.
As always we will treat all of this as
RUMOR until
Hasbro officially confirms it.
