Star Wars Figuren has revealed the case assortment for wave 3 of the Black Series 3.75” line.  While new figures are STILL only one per case in the same ratio as the carry forward figures for some god unknown reason, some of the carry forward figures are welcome such as Mara Jade.  However, some figures are atrocious carry forwards.  Is this a collector line or not, Hasbro? 

Wave 3
Darth Vader 1x
Luke Skywalker 1x
Clone Pilot 1x
Luminara Unduli 1x
Clone Trooper 41st 1x
Stormtrooper 1x
Mara Jade 1x
Merumeru 1x
Vizam 1x
Darth Plageuis 1x
Mace Windu 1x
Commander Neyo 1x

Stuff is coming in fast and furious today.  Wave 2 of the 3.75” Black Series is available for pre-order at Big Bad Toy Store with an estimated delivery of October.

Wave 2 of the 6” Black Series line is available for pre-order at Big Bad Toy Store with en estimated delivery of November.

Those smarting from the dullest reveal since the Chevy Chevette can rejoice that NEW items are being shown at Celebration Europe and the blokes across the pond at Jedi News UK have you covered.  Head over to see some awesome heretofore unseen product including VIZAM!!!!

JTA was right.  JTA wsa right.  Tell your sister, JTA was right.

Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have a report of another Black Series 3.75” sighting in California.

At this point, it’s clear our own Darth Mire has a serial returner on his hands.  The other day he found Lumat at Walmart.  Now he finds more wave 16 figures at Target.  I wish my returners were so nice.  They only return peg warmers.

And now for the official pics of the Black Series 6” line from Hasbro’s San Diego Comic Con presentation.

Big Bad Toy Store has a “Star Wars 2013 Evolution Pack” available for pre-order with an October delivery and a price of $34.99.  This is most assuredly the Anakin to Vader 4-pack that was announced at Toy Fair.  Based on the price, I’m somewhat encouraged that this is not a kid targeted 5 POA item, but I’m getting used to being disappointed lately, so I won’t hold my breath.

Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives are reporting that The Black Series has hit brick and mortar retail.  Start checking those stores!

Coming out of San Diego Comic Con, there was a rumor swirling that JJ Abrams was dropping out Episode VII.  For several reasons, we were skeptical and decided not to post information about it.  In the event that you heard this rumor, you will be happy to know that it has been debunked.

Our own Darth Mire had an interesting find at this local Walmart.  It’s likely a return, but bizarre nonetheless.

Did you ever wonder what a ranking list of the best figures from The Vintage Collection would look like? Wonder no more. We have been invited by Jedi Temple Archives to be part of the panel for their “A Digested Look at The Vintage Collection” special report alongside many other fan sites to rank what figures from this collection are the absolute cream of the crop. We also are joined by three special guests from the Hasbro Star Wars team which makes this an unprecedented event. See what figures made the final ranking and compare the panel’s picks and how they differ next to the Hasbro team’s choices. The Special Report also gives warm tribute to The Vintage Collection in a general retrospective manner. There are even some special “gifts” for readers to take away from it.

Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have teased something as coming soon (8 AM tomorrow morning).  Based on the font selected, I’d have to guess it’s Vintage Collection related which is how I’ve categorized this,

They staff here at Bantha Skull has been discussing what was shown by Hasbro at San Diego Comic Con 2013 and we have the following wrap-up report:
