Future Black 3 and 3/4 releases...
« on: June 08, 2013, 08:03:28 AM »
This just in from Jedi Temple Archives:

Theed Hangar Pilot (?) – a new announcement exclusive for this post. The name is cut off, but any other ideas of who this figure could be?

Vizam – a long-awaited update and answer to prayer for ROTJ fans.

Darth Plageuis – clearly listed as an Expanded Universe figure which Hasbro claimed they wouldn't do for the Black Series until they saw how successful the line was. Interesting!

Stormtrooper (Episode IV) – please note that both Stormtrooper and Sandtrooper are listed here. Since Hasbro has stated that The Black Series would consist of new tooling (save for the cancelled Legacy Collection 2 carry-forwards), this could be an all-new definitive sculpt finally!

Sandtrooper (Episode IV) – please note that both Stormtrooper and Sandtrooper are listed here. This is likely the Sandtrooper (Corporal).

Clone Trooper (41st Elite Corps) – it is still unknown if this is actually the 212th Attack Battalion update. If not, this could be an all-new take on either the Kashyyyk Trooper or the Coruscant Landing Platform Clone Trooper.

Commander Neyo – logic dictates that this is Commander Neyo and NOT Commander Ney as listed.

Merumeru – FINALLY!

Mace Windu (The Clone Wars) – confirmed for release

Battle Droid (Episode II) – confirmed for release

Luke Skywalker (Jedi Training) – Yes! a super-articulated update to the fabulous 2004 OTC figure!

Yoda (Jedi Training) – Yes! a super-articulated update to the fabulous 2004 OTC figure!

Wedge Antilles (Snowspeeder Outfit) – This may sport a lot of new tooling too since they 2008 TLC tooling/sculpt needs a refresh and the Luke Skywalker outfit is unique for Luke.

Darth Vader (Episode III) – could this be the "crispy Anakin" they've been hinting about?

Snowtrooper – This is likely a Snowtrooper Commander as denoted by the cut-off "C". If this is true, then Hasbro is proving and sincere that The Black Series will contain new figures an not any repacks.

Toryn Farr – excuse us while the grown men here go and cry.

Click here to read the full report. Paul and Chuck are always spot on with their intel.

And folks if you could, go to their Facebook Page and give em a like as they make a push for over 4,000!

This sounds like possible light at the end of the tunnel.

No Neimoidian(s)? We need a new Neimoidian in the quality of Daultay Dofine.

This actually sounds very interesting. I'll definitely pay a couple of visits at the Hasbro booth at CE2.

I just hope your hotel room has a good internet connection so I can get a few of these if you feel like sending them my way.
