The Gaming Greats GameStop exclusive Scout Trooper (Jedi: Fallen Order, The Black Series 6-Inch) has some nice bonus gear, and a lack of dirt when compared to other releases. I hope you got one. Read on!
It's the Seth Green robot! There was a Detours leak this week (which I seemingly missed) but I didn't miss Todo 360 (The Black Series 6-Inch), a Pulse exclusive after the adventure of 2020's convention season. But was he worth the $10 upcharge - or the secondary market prices? Read on!
I know why you're thankful. Ewoks! Hasbro finally made one in the 6-inch line with Teebo (The Black Series 6-Inch) who shares tooling with Paploo - and we'll look at him next year probably. (Hey, it's a big slate.) With extra weapons and one of his two hoods, this figure manages to touch on a lot of what made the movie suit and Kenner's old figure great. Read on!
This Yoda (The Black Series 6-Inch) is very tiny and has a bonus second head - also a Luke packaged with it. You should probably get this 2-pack because Luke has exclusive gear in this pack, which makes the $40 price tag a bit easier to swallow. Read on!
Target.com put up a page for what appears to be a new run of the Star Wars The Black Series Carbonized Collection The Mandalorian Toy Figure due early in 2021. It's a very good figure - click here to read our review from earlier this year. It's $5 more expensive than the previous release, but it also is cheaper than purchasing one on the secondary market. This is not the full Beskar mold, but rather the late 2019 version with a very shiny finish.
If you are going to Walgreenses, you might be on the lookout for this Clone Trooper (Lieutenant, The Black Series 6-Inch) which uses the sculpt from a few years ago - and not the new 2020 model. It matches the other troopers you've probably already bought. Read on!

This is a good example of a reissue, with changes. While the unmasked face is a tad on the glossy side, the deco and new backpack on Jango Fett (Gaming Greats, The Black Series 6-Inch) are improved. It's closer to the first appearance in Attack of the Clones, but not perfect - and it's different enough from the previous release that I don't mind having it. Read on!
A new mold! You didn't ask for it, but instead of just a straight repaint the Clone Trooper (Kamino, The Black Series 6-Inch) is entirely new - and in some cases better, and in some cases not. The limbs no longer have visible pins, which is good - but the elbow and knee armor is a little strange now that it's a separate rubbery piece. The helmet is an actual helmet with a slug head underneath too, leading to some misshapen helmets. Read on!
Complete with signet and jet pack, The Mandalorian (Beskar Armor, The Black Series 6-Inch) matches his look at the end of season one and, so far, the beginning of season two. It's a retool of the first figure from 2019, but there's enough different that you're going to want one. Read on!
Sold in both 40th anniversary packaging and the new standard The Black Series boxes, Darth Vader (The Black Series 6-Inch) is partially new parts and partially old parts from a few years ago. No respect, I swear. Read on!
If you like repaints with extra guns, this Heavy Battle Droid (Gaming Greats, The Black Series 6-Inch) is perfect. Complete with Imperial and First Order tech, this uniquely painted Trade Federation trooper is just a little bit more interesting than your average droid. And as a GameStop exclusive, it's sold out unless they somehow find more in a bin somewhere. Read on!
Amazon posted its Star Wars The Black Series Speeder Bike Scout Trooper and The Child Toys 6-Inch-Scale The Mandalorian Collectible Figure and Vehicle Set (Amazon Exclusive) today for $49.99, and this is an ad link where we might get a few pennies if you click it and order. (So please do.)
The set appears to be the 2014 Speeder Bike set with a new stand, new deco on everything, and a new satchel with a baby in it. I
If you missed pre-orders a few days ago (or wanted to save on shipping) today is your lucky day! Target.com added in-store pick-up Star Wars: The Black Series Commander Pyre and R5-P8 action figures from its Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge collection. Click here for availability, they're currently $24.99 a piece.
Today Target.com listed Star Wars The Black Series Commander Pyre and Star Wars The Black Series R5-P8! Commander Pyre is a rerelease of the figure sold at the theme parks last year (see Commander Pyre, FOTD #2,622) and looks largely the same. The multi-pack at Disney parks also included a MSE droid. R5-P8 is a debut - and the 6-inch scale action figures are supposedly hitting stores on Sunday.
