Black Series Artillery Stormtrooper Press Release

This week Hasbro and i09 debuted the latest figure from The Mandalorian. "This Stormtrooper appeared in season two’s Chapter 14, “The Tragedy”, in which Moff Gideon’s remnant forces assaulted Din Djarin, Boba Fett, and Fennec Shand on the planet Tython in order to capture poor little Grogu while he hung out trying to Force-link with any Jedi out there in the big wide galaxy that could train him." This figure is a smart repaint of the Black Series Stormtrooper mold and something that is exciting as it is both a troop builder and a new entry into the Black Series character database.

Gaming Greats RC-1138 (BOSS) Press Release

Yesterday Hasbro shared the next Gaming Greats figure coming to GameStop, Republic Commando Boss! This figure comes from the Republic Commando game which debuted in 2005. Now as each soldier wore nearly the same armor, it is a good bet that this buck will be reused for additional releases of Delta Squad and perhaps characters from the first season of The Bad Batch. These figures have been released a few times before in the 3 3/4" scale first during The Saga Collection and then later during the Shadows of the Dark Side series which ran congruently to The Clone Wars line. This figure went up for the pre-order this morning and Hasbro has sent over the official press release and images which is as follows: [...]
