Collectibles > The Black Series 6" Figures
6" Black Series Wave 7 (2015 Wave 1)
Jeff:
According to the little signs at SDCC (which have been known to be wrong in the past), it seems like this wave may end up being -
Stormtrooper Han
Bossk
C-3PO (rumored)
Supposedly due February 2015!
Nicklab:
Bossk definitely looks pretty cool. The articulated jaw is a very nice feature. And I think bounty hunters are great source material for the demographic Hasbro wants to appeal to with the Black Series 6" figure line.
C-3PO is a natural fit for the line since we've already gotten R2-D2. As characters go Threepio is a mainstay. But will we see history repeat itself with Threepio warming the pegs like Greedo?
Stormtrooper Han Solo just comes across a little odd to me. In fact, it seems like the line seems to be going pretty heavy on Han right from the get-go. Already we've seen 5 offerings of Han:
-ANH Han Solo
-ANH Han Solo with Greedo in the Cantina showdown exclusive 2-pack
-Han Solo in Stormtrooper disguise
-Hoth Han Solo with the tauntaun
-Han Solo in Carbonite (SDCC 2013 exclusive)
McMetal:
I still wonder if C-3PO will end up being the jedi-Con exclusive and maybe they stick the Emperor in this slot instead? It seems crazy to release a main character as an exclusive, but they could always go the Boba Fett route I guess and throw in some extra swag before the inevitable mainline release.

Yea, but Han's been pretty much ignored for years, and hearing Ford's back for E7 should drive a little more buzz for the character. I'd also argue that Han Carbonite isn't really a figure, nor was he wide spread, and the Han/Greedo set is just a figure repack. We really have 3 different Han figures on the way, actually one less than Luke.
P-Siddy:
And Luke has 3 at this point.
