Wow! The Black Series [Phase III] Centerpiece Rey figure, which has barely made a splash at brick and mortar, is on Amazon right now for $17 and change. (This is a $50 item). If you want it, now’s the time! Special thanks to JTA reader Jeff B. for the alert!

Pre-order The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ General Grievous at Entertainment Earth RIGHT NOW!

JTA reader and friend Steve U. forwards us images we haven’t seen yet online yet (but maybe you have). General Grievous is looking good!

JTA reader Eric wrote in to let everyone know that his Burbank, California Walmart did a massive restock of the Stormtrooper (Mimban) 6-Inch figure. He counted at least 60 in-stock. Be on the look-out if you are still in the hunt for this figure at retail. Thanks for the update, Eric!

JTA reader eagerly sends us an email that he found a ton of The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ Snowtroopers at his local ROSS stores for $3.99 each. Where are all of these old figures hiding? It’s astounding how much stuff is ending up at clearance outlets. Again, I haven’t seen ANYTHING remotely similar to this devastation in my lifetime of collecting. I don’t even think The Phantom Menace [3D] debacle was this bad. Special thanks to JTA reader Christian C. for the alert!

JTA reader Ignacio F. sends us an image that’s difficult to process. At his local Best Buy, they had over a dozen Darth Revan figures from The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ line just hanging from the pegs. Hey, at least TVC collectors can look forward to the same thing when that awful 2007 figure gets repacked for us!

Tonight we are adding the international exclusive Han Solo/Princess Leia Organa The Black Series [Phase III] 6-Inch set to our Visual Guides. Click below to have a full look at the full guide, and make sure to read additional details over in our full review.

If you’re interested, TARGET.com has the 6″ Range Trooper for a mere $7 and change. Special thanks to JTA reader Ray K. for the alert!

Make no mistake, we have come quite a long way in the 6 inch Black Series action figure line. The line is undoubtedly at its best now in 2018, finally. Photoreal was a game-changer. However, after 5 1/2 years, some things have not changed, and some things could be addressed by Hasbro and improved upon. What things? Click through for my list of Black Series pet peeves.

In what will go down as one of retail’s worst-handled exclusives of all time, more and more Walmarts are getting dumped with loads of the 6″ Stormtrooper (Mimban) figure. I have yet to see this figure in the wild, but we’re getting more reports that this is hitting once again just this week. Special thanks to JTA reader Ben H. for the image and story.

Brand new The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ figure are ringing up for $.03 again at Walmart. JTA reader and friend Rogue Leader provides the evidence. Please note that not all figures ring up for this price, and this doesn’t occur at every Walmart location.

Wow. You can’t make this stuff up if you tried. JTA reader Mister Jackpot sends us proof that The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ figures are arriving at CLEARANCE OUTLET ROSS for a mere $2.99. But they’re still not as cheap as the $.03 6″ figures at Walmart. That’s a world record so far. Click through for his report.

If you pre-ordered the international exclusive The Black Series [Phase III] Han Solo/Princess Leia Organa set, they’re beginning to arrive from Entertainment Earth. We have a sneak peek gallery for you to check out now. Han Solo is a dramatic improvement from the one offered in the Deluxe set with Tauntau years ago. We’re not crazy about the furry collar. It looks fantastic, but it’s woven bizarrely and doesn’t stay in place. Also, it functions beautifully as a hood, but it is shaped like a ring, so there is no covering for the back of his head. So it renders it useless. The head sculpt is reused from the Han Solo (Bespin) figure, and he looks great in brown. Princess Leia Organa is a slight repaint of the Princess Leia (Hoth) basic figure. It’s a shame Hasbro didn’t include any other newness with her to make this set unique. Oh, and Han Solo wasn’t wearing this outfit in the scene they’re attempting to recreate here. Also, it’s inconsequential, but the bio on Han Solo reads very awkwardly. Like, it made us uncomfortable in spots. But whatever. Hasbro did an excellent job on this set, and it only has a few issues that won’t detract from its greatness too much. The review is coming soon, and after it, we jump into the final vintage Kenner reviews!

Welcome to another one our JTA Presents: Evolutions features! Let’s check out how close or far we are from having an ideal Hasbro 3.75″ Emperor’s Royal Guard action figure. Have we arrived at definitive status yet? Weigh in and let us know what conclusion you’ll come to by clicking through and adding your two cents in the comments!
