JTA reader wmonday1 sent us images of The Vintage Collection Boba Fett (Tatooine) deluxe figure. And if this is a sign of things to come with the “blind packaging,” we’re all headed for heartache. Click the image below to see what he received in full.

Need some extra Spiders for that Razor Crest display? Walmart.com has the Maldo Kreis The Mandalorian & Grogu set on sale for $15.90. Thanks to JTA reader Mike for the tip!

Instagram user @justfigsnaps was nice enough to share some detailed pictures of the newly released Obi-Wan Kenobi (Wandering Jedi), Reva (Third Sister), and Darth Vader (The Dark Times) (still unofficially revealed). Click below to check them out (amazing figures and great photos!), and stop by his Instagram account for more images. Thanks, Gareth!

Dion M. from Auckland, NZ shared a great find to the TVC Facebook group: Darth Vader (Dark Times) (VC241). This figure has not been announced yet and will probably be officially revealed as a part of tomorrow’s Obi-Wan Wednesdays. This figure will likely round out Wave 35. He also found Reva (Third Sister) (VC242) and the rest of the wave as well at Farmers. Crazy that these figures are listed as shipping in September but are already on shelves in New Zealand! There are also quite a few reports of the rest of the wave in the SWNZ Facebook group.

JTA reader and friend, Alientek ordered a bunch of figures off of Hasbro Toy Shop’s eBay Store and received this little gem in the mail from them. It’s the Walmart exclusive The Vintage Collection Death Star Droid sealed UPSIDE DOWN on the card. Coincidentally, Hasbro Toy Shop packaged the figure in a way that resulted in a curled card, but the figure has a much bigger issue.

The Hasbro Pulse YouTube channel has a new series of unboxing videos in which designers Eric, Emily and Chris post short videos about newly announced action figures. Of course these are still mostly promos and not proper reviews, but the videos give you a good glimpse at several newly revealed Black Series and Vintage Collection action figures in great detail and could be of interest to you.

There was a flurry of activity because of this year’s Star Wars Celebration as we reviewed the latest wave of The Vintage Collection, so here is your chance to catch up if you missed any of our RDRs. Check out Ahsoka Tano (Corvus), Clone Trooper (501st Legion), Death Watch Mandalorian, Fennec Shand, and Yoda.

Yesterday at the Hasbro panel at SWC, they announced a few pipeline figures for The Vintage Collection. All three were solid reveals that we’ve been waiting for a while to have in the line. Hunter from the Bad Batch has already been made in The Black Series, and while most fans were excited for the figure, it’s eventual repaint into Delta Squad was not well received due to the stylized sculpt. We need to make sure that the upcoming TVC version doesn’t make this same mistake…

A decade ago, all of the accessories with the Ahsoka Tano & Grogu two-pack would have been included in the basic carded release. But not with the current Hasbro Star Wars team. No way, and no how. (more….)

The Vintage Collection Ahsoka Tano and Grogu orders are starting to arrive from Walmart.com. Let us know in the comments if you receive yours, and how they arrived. Thanks to JTA reader Travis for the report!

I received my Ahsoka Tano & Grogu from Walmart this morning.  The packaging is reminiscent of the original TVC Ewok Scouts and AT-ST Crew sets from K-Mart…and probably a good look at the future of all TVC packaging.  I’m sure others will be reporting this soon, too.  As always, thanks for all your work and your site. All the best!

Hello Toy Runners! I’m pleased as punch to finally have some new toys to talk about. The most recent TVC Wave is showing up in the mail and in some stores. I’m still awaiting several figures from that wave, but I did get my Death Watch mandalorians. Have you gotten your figures yet? Please share in the comments what you’ve found and how you have integrated them in  your displays!
