Tag Archives: The Black Series [Phase III]

Four new drawings by Black Series artist Gregory Titus have appeared on Facebook earlier tonight. They show Crait Luke, Zeb, Jar Jar and a clone that might by Commander Bly. Now all of four of these figures were heavily rumored before, Zeb was virtually confirmed by Hasbro, and Crait Luke is all but guaranteed, two more prequel characters would make sense with The Clone Wars returning for a final season and Hasbro revealed quite a few prequel characters only recently. But Titus also created some art for Hammerhead who hasn’t seen a release yet, so apply the usual grains of salt. But my feeling is that we will get all four of these figures in 2020. Thanks to Matthew Cohen for the alert!

They’re currently out of stock, but TARGET online has listed the figures from the Wedge Antilles 6″ wave.

JTA reader Greg R. found the exclusive Yoda Spirit and Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) 6″ figures at his local Walmart! They’re out there folks!

Holy cow! Cara Dune is a perfect 10. She’s a beautiful character, and this action figure is one of Hasbro’s best. We believe she will change the opinion of Disney Star Wars’ female characters (for the better). Cara Dune is more believable than all of the the most heavily-criticized Sequel Trilogy characters combined (and we know nothing about her). We’re so eager to see her in action.

I stopped by my local GameStop today during lunch and was shocked to find the Skywalker Strikes Convention exclusive sitting on the shelf. They retail for $39.99 each. If you want this set, you might want to visit your local store too.

JTA reader and friend Russ T. received notice that his online order for the First Order Jet Trooper (Carbonized) figure was ready for pickup. While out, he stopped at TARGET and found another new product that I don’t believe too many people knew about until now. Click through for his report.

It’s unreal it’s taken Hasbro seven years to bring us a second X-wing pilot in the 6″ line. But they finally released Wedge Antilles. You’re going to like this figure very much.

We’ve hit the 100th figure in The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ line. And Hasbro took this landmark event for granted by spelling his name incorrectly TWICE on the box.

With so much going on personally and behind the scenes, I made an embarrassing mistake on The Black Series [Phase III] Supreme Leader Kylo Ren (90) figure. I didn’t realize the figure came with interchangeable hoods. So, I reshot some important images, added comparison shots and tweaked my text in the review. Sometimes things get overlooked, especially working with an insane schedule. But special thanks to JTA reader Bob S. for alerting me to my error and allowing me to revisit this figure. Also, thanks to Entertainment Earth for providing us with our sample. You can see the revised gallery and review HERE.

JTA reader Jon M. purchased a TBS6 [P3] Luke Skywalker (Yavin Ceremony) figure at his local retailer today. Interestingly, Hasbro goofed on the spelling of the character’s name TWICE on the box with TWO different errors. You can find both LUKE SKYWALKWER (YAVIN CEREMONY) and LUKE SKWALKER (YAVIN CEREMONY) on the same box!

Since Hasbro does not do their due diligence and release the most senseless repacks, we thought we would to help you. If you want to save over $8 on the upcoming  and unnecessary reissued General Lando Calrissian figure, you can get him RIGHT NOW for $4.87 at Walmart’s online store. There is no reason to shell out $13+ for a pre-order when Walmart’s giving it away as we speak.

Hasbro promised more action figure reveals at various European conventions, and after Paris and London they now revealed two all new Black Series figures at the Lucca Comics & Games convention in Italy!
Prequel fans have been asking for more Jedi for years now, and it seems Hasbro is finally willing to deliver: meet Kit Fisto and Plo Koon, two of the most favorite prequel Jedi! Now while the headsculpts are all new, of course, the hands as well, it seems both figures re-use the Obi Wan and Mace Windu body, which is a bit unfortunate, but nevertheless, we finally get more Jedi and more (humanoid) aliens in the line! Click through for a few more photos! All the photos come courtesy of Italian Star Wars site guerrestellari.net!
