Hasbro

Wall Street is celebrating Hasbro’s latest earnings report. The company posted an operating profit of $116.2 million. The stock price is up by almost 12% as I write this.

Walmart has listed most of this week’s new pre-orders from The Black Series and The Vintage Collection for much lower than their retail price.

Well, that was a very pleasant surprise and probably the best Hasbro Star Wars livestream in literal ages! Not just when it comes to the number of reveals, but also the presentation felt much more alive this time, less scripted, less teleprompter reading and actually, just like five people having fun with the reveals… Anyway, much to my own surprise Hasbro revealed a ton of The Acolyte figures, which will all be released in Fall 2024!

• Jedi Master Sol
• Padawan Jecki Lon
• Jedi Knight Yord Fandar
• Jedi Master Indara
• Mae (Assassin)

ALL figures come with their robes and each has a unique lightsaber! Only Mae comes with various knives/daggers instead, but she too has her purple cloak. All the figures are mainline items in the US and Fan Channel / Amazon / Pulse items in Europe and everything revealed today will be available for pre-order on March 21st at 1 pm ET!

On top of that a new Darth Maul holocomm figure was revealed as well and there will also be a new Moff Gideon roleplay helmet

There are also quite a few exciting pipeline reveals! Stay tuned for the update coming very soon with all the photos and some discussion!
