Target 6" First Order Stormtrooper Executioner
« on: August 8, 2017, 11:32 AM »
More thread set-up in prep for Force Friday II, this time from our friends at Yakface.

Target computer has a listing for:
087-06-8397 E8 BL Tango Black (available 10/1, $19.99)

"Tango" seems to be the TLJ code for "Trooper", so some kind of trooper seems likely. Uncofirmed speculation indicates that it is perhaps the new First Order Judicial Trooper?

I don't believe pictures of this have leaked yet, but wanted to get a thread started so folks that haven't heard yet know about it... ;)

Photos leaked of that trooper in Disney's 7" Die-cast figure line, although that doesn't help crack the code.

Probably is the Judicial Trooper, which along with the Elite Guards is not all that interesting.  :-\

That is actually an SKT: Shish Kabob Trooper.  Even the Empire has to eat.

Maybe it transforms into a cassette tape?  Hasbro tie-in?

I'm with you.  I think this is the feared LT (Landscape Trooper).

I found this today thanks to Brickseek.  It's strange, I had not seen a single one of the Executioner Stormtroopers at numerous Target stores.  But this one today had over a dozen of the Executioners... just no other TLJ 6" TBS figures.

I saw this all over the place on Force Friday (each store seemed to get a case ?8?), but by Force Saturday they were all sold out.

I ended up passing on it to start with, but assume like all Target exclusives this will be easy to come by as they restock.  Glad to see they're restocking as I've been watching for this and haven't seen it restock.  Although most of the Targets around here are still packed with the Rogue One AT-ACT Driver.  I'm not sure if they're sharing DCPIs or not.

Found a bunch of these today at my local Target. Better late than never, I guess. I had actually forgotten completely about this figure since Target hasn't exactly made stocking toys a priority over the last 18 months.

Target has got to put the AT-ACT Driver on sale.  Every Target I go to has these overflowing from the pegs preventing the Stormtrooper from being stocked.
