The Emperor’s Royal Guard figure is just another repack but still looks fantastic after nearly six years. (more….)

Wow! Look at that shimmery purple lining! We expected Carnor Jax to be the dud of the four Comics And Books figures, but it ended up being our favorite. Oh, and this IS NOT Carnor Jax. It’s Kir Kanos. Do you think Hasbro will issue a running change? (more….)

We are excited to present you with a first look sneak peek of the Star Wars [Solo] Force Link 2.0 wave 4 figures, A great wave that focuses very heavily on Solo: A Star Wars Story, there are no previous carried-forward figures here from the Star Wars [Solo] 5POA line this far. There are a couple of repacked figures, but they’re wise choices. These include Han Solo (Mimban) from the TARGET exclusive multipack and Imperial Royal Guard from another TARGET exclusive three-pack. Reviews are a bit down the line, but you can enjoy rough photo galleries and Collector Notes in the meantime.

If you pre-ordered the “Guardians Of Evil” 4-pack from Barnes & Noble, they’re beginning to arrive. I received mine last night and JTA reader and friend Danny R. received his as well.

When I look back at the third phase of The Black Series 6″ line through the recent reveals at NYCC, there is a diverse assortment of about six figures that really stand out to me. Lando Calrissian and the Imperial Royal Guard from wave 11 are definitely two of Hasbro’s best efforts. But then when I jog my memory further back in history, I remember the excitement of waiting to acquire the First Order Stormtrooper and Captain Phasma from wave 1 and wave 2 respectively. (That was of course before I saw Episode VII.) And then what a joy it was actually attending the HASCON convention and get the exclusive Clone Captain Rex. It’s going to be so exciting to see his “photo realistic” face deco in person. And the NYCC-revealed Rey (Island Journey) was a nice surprise too. She’s a nice-looking figure that’s also coming with “photo realistic” technology. You can truly see how far they’ve come in this format. These are not fourth rate action figures. No, they ride the crest of the wave of action figure superiority as far as we’re concerned. I wouldn’t mind seeing them again before the end of the year in fact. Let us know what figures stand out for you too!

JTA sponsor Empire Toy Shop has just received plenty of Imperial Royal Guards in stock! Order yours today!

If you’re a 6″ collector and you don’t own the Senate Guard/Imperial Royal Guard/Emperor’s Shadow Guard (Legends)/Elite Praetorian Guard (With Double Blade) four-pack, then you should be shamed by being publicly flogged in your local town square. That’s all we’re saying. This set is the focus of our Research Droids Reviews today!

Well that took forever. Check out an early sneak peek of the awesome “Guardians Of Evil” The Black Series [Phase III] GameStop and Barnes & Noble exclusive four-pack. In short, the Senate Guard and the Emperor’s Shadow Guard (from The Force Unleashed) are the highlights of the set. But it’s also still fun to army build the Imperial Royal Guard and get a different Elite Praetorian Guard to round out your ranks as well. The RDR is coming soon, but check out the 84 image gallery now! We hope that THIS ‘RUMOR REPORT’ makes a whole lot more sense to everyone now. 🙂

io9 reveals a TON of our past rumors officially. Remember THIS rumor report for Obi-Wan? And THIS one for the Royal Guard 4-pack? And remember THIS ONE for Snoke? Pretty cool, huh? Snoke with Throne will be a GameStop exclusive. The Guard 4-pack will be exclusive to Barnes & Noble, Gamestop, and Disney Stores. And the Praetorian Guard variant will be exclusive to Amazon. All will be available later this Fall. Check it out!

Do you still need the Imperial Royal Guard? Amazon is taking orders for it now with a September 1st ship date. Special thanks to JTA reader Michael W. for the alert!

UPDATE: Gone!

The Black Series [Phase III] Imperial Royal Guard is IN STOCK on Amazon for $21.99! Special thanks to Michael W. for the alert!

UPDATE: Sorry folks, I checked stock twice before posting and it was there. It’s gone now.

In case you need any of them, waves 8, 9 and 11 of The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ line are ALL hot off of the truck at Entertainment Earth!

There has been constant speculation about the validity of the claim that the Imperial Royal Guard was available in a solid case pack. Because as humans we need visual evidence before belief, here you go. These images were posted on Star Wars Black Series 6″ Collectors Facebook page by member Pete N. who found them at GameStop. As we have alluded to in the past, not all retailers were offered these which is why some may not know of this case’s existence.

Back in stock at GameStop if you need it!  

Order it at GameStop if you need it! Special thanks to JTA reader thereverend5150 for the alert!

The Imperial Royal Guard is currently IN STOCK at HTS. Thanks for the alert, Raul!

They’re back in stock as of this posting time.

I’ve been seeing them come in and out every few minutes. I know Qui-Gon and Lando are there now, but keep checking.
