Via Hasbro Pulse: Star Wars™ The Black Series Rancor Update! There is no picture, but there's some text - and we all know, that's where the magic happens.

From the campaign: "We really appreciate all the feedback we’ve received in an effort to make the HasLab Rancor the best possible dream product. With that, we realize we can't leave the most dangerous creature, the rancor, roaming the galaxy without its keeper. We will be adding a fully newly-tooled Star Wars: The Black Series Malakili figure [editor's note: emphasis added] to the base offering, funding at 9K units. Uncarded and ready for action, Malakili comes with his unique gaffi stick inspired by Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. This figure is in active development, and we will share renders as part of our backer updates if the project successfully moves into production.

"This final additional figure can ONLY be added if we hit our target threshold of 9K backers before the campaign deadline (December 6, 2021). Thank you for your help in shaping this product in real time!" More commentary after the jump? Sure, why not.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Wrecker (The Black Series). It's a recent release, and this member of The Bad Batch has one of the most expressive faces in Hasbro's entire action figure line. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Q9-0 (Zero, The Black Series) (The Black Series). It's a neat robot, with great detail and you've got a ghost of a chance of finding the wave in stores. The grey is a little more "plastic" than "metal" in appearance, but do remember, it is a plastic figure. The painted dirt and wires are a nice touch. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: General Lando Calrissian (The Black Series). It's a recent release, but some elements of the design seem like Hasbro may have been sitting on this fairly good replica of the Return of the Jedi costume. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Vice Admiral Rampart (The Black Series). It's Tarkin with a new head. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Trapper Wolf (The Black Series). The PulseCon exclusive uses a 25-year-old man's body (from a 2013 figure) with a 47-year-old man's head - and it's still pretty neat. Read on

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Artillery Stormtrooper (The Black Series). It's a yellow repaint with some new guns and a slight mark-up - did you get yours when Amazon had the exclusive in stock a few weeks ago? Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Aurra Sing (The Black Series). The box says The Clone Wars but you know it's The Phantom Menace - and it's a really good figure who interacts with her accessories well and has top-tier paint. The antenna in her skull is a separately molded grey piece, too. Read on!

Would you believe even more figures were announced today, including a new 6-inch original trilogy alien? It's true.  You can watch a video reveal, or you could just read the checklist in issue #5.

After numerous early morning reveals, last weekend's PulseCon reveals, and today's fan event reveals, there's a lot to catch up on.  But who has the time to watch hours of video for a dozen new names?  Not you!  So click this and skim on the toilet.  I won't tell anyone that's how you do your research, it can be our secret.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tech (The Black Series). The cartoon figure is now a realistic figure, complete with tools and removable helmet with articulated visor. Read on!

Via Hasbro Pulse: PulseCon. Since San Diego and New York events were skipped by Hasbro, they're running panels Friday and Saturday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern, with product going on sale at 5:00 PM. Exclusive product will only be on Pulse, but you can get other stuff elsewhere.

Speculation has it that new HasLab items will be revealed or teased today, including the worst-kept-secret, The Black Series Rancor monster creature.

For non-exclusive items, consider affiliate/advertiser Entertainment Earth who will be offering free shipping on many of the new pre-orders. Keep an eye on that link for today's new reveals, which should include Star Wars, Power Rangers, Transformers, and... that may be it actually. Theoretically your other favorite online stores will also be putting these up today as well, but they don't pay me, so they don't get a link. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Koska Reeves (The Black Series). She got in a fight with Boba Fett and is still alive - and is also a great new action figure with an excellent likeness under the helmet. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Elite Squad Trooper (The Black Series 6-Inch). When is a Clone not a Clone? When it's this guy! This uses the 2020 upper body and the original double-jointed knees, making it a bit more than just a repaint. If you haven't seen The Bad Batch, this one may be new to you - but it looks cool, so get one. Read on!
