Not from Target! This Disney parks exclusive R6-Series Astromech Droid Silver with Purple is something you could build together - we're reviewing these guys as unique domes and the body build, well, that's up to you. There are more domes than bodies and there's a ton of purple. Read on!
A bunch of Galaxys Edge Trading Outpost items are hitting Target stores (and Target.com) today - but a complete list was not made available. Repacks of the theme park exclusive Commander Pyre, Hondo Ohnaka, and DJ R-3X are joined by all-new Captain Cardinal 6-inch figures. The big Millennium Falcon is, so far, an online only reissue. There are new roleplay blasters, plushies, and Funko Pop!s too - but what I found the most interesting are these Hasbro Droid Depot figures. There are 6 of them for $9.99 each under DPCI 087-16-1746.
While maybe not essential, the 4-LOM (Kenner-Deco Zuckuss, The Black Series 6-Inch) sure is a throwback for the original Kenner class of 1982! The names were swapped and the colors were a bit off, but darned if they don't look amazing. This 2-pack was shared with Amazon and Hasbro Pulse, and you don't have to share with anyone if you bought it. It has the same gun as the previous release but it looks like everything is a different enough color where it's worth your while. Read on!
The shared exclusive Stormtrooper (Carbonzed Graphite, The Black Series 6-Inch) is not in a big box store near you, but you can order it online from fan-friendly stores or maybe through your local comic or toy shops. I like it a lot - it's basically a trooper in Phasma colors. There are a bunch of cool specialized Stormtroopers out there, but this one is shiny so you just have to get it. Read on!
Coming from Hasbro, a Darth Vader (Rogue One) The Vintage Collection figure! It'll go great with that Tantive IV playset you'll be buying by the case to build out a battle scene. It looks like Vader is mostly - or entirely - new parts, which is unusual these days! Hasbro also took care to ensure you can see that they are using the correct gloves. And we glove you, Hasbro. This looks pretty dynamic and surprisingly spry for a 3 3/4-inch scale figure.
You can order Darth Vader or a full case of his unrevealed wave at Entertainment Earth, or order at Amazon. And those are both affiliate links, so we may get pennies or dollars if you click and buy something.
In "if this doesn't make you nervous, nothing will" news, Walgreens Exclusive Star Wars: The Black Series Clone Trooper Lieutenant! This completes the Attack of the Clones quartet of ranking officers and is expected to be in stores next month. (There are other non-Star Wars Hasbro exclusives coming too... but those haven't been announced yet.) It's the repaint you expected, and a handy addition to your Clone gaggles.
GameStop got The Black Series Jedi Fallen Order Purge Trooper with Electrostaff! Who's surprised? The last version sold out quickly and hopefully will show up again somehow, some day, for those who missed out. This new version is up for pre-order now for $24.99. (Protip: shipping is free when you buy 2. That's what I did. You can trade it for the one you miss later.)
Not to be outdone are two packs for Amazon. These are great for your average consumer, but the long-term collector already has most of these. These are what you'll be buying for Christmas presents to the kids you're going to force Star Wars upon this holiday season. Best Buy got the villains, and Amazon got the heroes. As far as I can tell, none of these figures are particularly new other than R2-D2 looks like a different combo platter of parts for you completists.
The figures are largely collected from The Force Awakens, Saga Legends, The Last Jedi.
You can click here to order them from Amazon.com, and yes we do get a few pennies through that affiliate link so please do click it.
For the Celebrate the Saga line, Hasbro gave Best Buy two exclusive 5-packs for $29.99 a pop. You can click here to order them if supplies are still available. The First Order set does not appear to have new figures, but may have deco changes - we'll keep you posted in Figure of the Day as these arrive in the next couple of months. Its Galactic Empire set does have a new droid redeco which may be of more interest - Hasbro and Disney have done many R2-Q5 figures over the years, but this one looks different, so prepare to shell out some cash.

Hasbro's Celebrate the Saga collection includes 8 packs. 4 are main line, 2 are for Amazon exclusives, and 2 are Best Buy exclusives. The pitch I heard was each set has 5-jointed figures and is the last hurrah for the format - at least for now - with 4-5 figures brought back and 0-1 redeco droids. It looks like they may have enhanced face paint, but it's hard to tell from the photos and I did not hear about it previously.
Each set is due this fall for about $29.99. Click here to order at affiliate/advertiser Amazon, or click here to order at Entertainment Earth.
If you liked it in tan, or in red at GameStop, you'll also probably love the Battle Droid (Geonosis, The Black Series 6-Inch)! It's loaded with articulation, incudes a backpack you can swap out for an antenna pack, and can crounch down into a "deploy" mode if you're so inclined. It's a great sculpt and hopefully we'll see a few more of these brought out and reissued over the coming months to meet squad building demand. Read on!
The Attack of the Clones edition of Anakin Skywalker (The Black Series 6-Inch) is one of Hasbro's very best action figures. Sure, it reuses some parts from the Revenge of the Sith version, but that head is a gem. The paint and the sculpt are absolutely on point, so you should get one. I don't care if you don't like the prequels, you just need to get one and give it an up-close look because it is a little plastic triumph. Read on!
The Target-exclusive Moloch (The Black Series 6-Inch) is most likely long gone from your store shelves, but if you see it, it's pretty cool. It's a big worm alien and it looks right at home in Jabba's Palace, which is good as Hasbro has been hesitant to outfit that scene with additional figures. Read on!
UPDATE: MyDisneyShop's selling it online. $14.99 + shipping. It does not appear to be run by Disney, but the price seems lowest so far.
The pumpkin-themed BB-BOO20 is showing up at Disney parks - and maybe elsewhere - across the USA. While the theme parks are closed, eBay is open - and that's where we're seeing these now. They're about $13 in stores, so when buying yours keep in mind tax is a couple of bucks and shipping is usually $5 or less.
The figure is a redeco fo the popular build-a-droid format BB droids we've been seeing for a few years, so they split in the middle and have removable heads. They're neat.
