Hasbro Pulse Premium Livestream 10/27/21

Have we heard anything about Omega getting released or up for pre-order?   That was on Jayson/Yakface's list months and months ago of upcoming items that seemed to be getting released with the rest of the Bad Batch.

Omega should be in an upcoming wave with Echo.  Not sure what wave or when they will go up for pre-order but definitely still coming.

I'm wondering if they might get revealed in this Pulse Premium event that's being held later today?

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Today's Pulse Premium event revealed four new Black Series 6" figures:

RO Jedha Patrol Stormtrooper
BB Omega
BB Echo
ROTJ Bib Fortuna

Anyone from New Zealand had to be cringing when the either Patrick or Chris was saying that the voice actor for Omega had an Australian accent.

The Jedha patrol trooper looked good.  Even Hasbro was saying that they're getting more out of that new TBS Stormtrooper mold that was produced for The Mandalorian, and no doubt there will be more troopers made from it in the years to come.

Echo looks pretty good, and I like the additional accessories.  And I'm pleased to see how much work they put into Omega.  For some reason she comes across as more stylized than the rest of the team, but it looks like they were able to strike a balance.

And then there's Bib Fortuna!  Very well done, and very creepy looking.  The attention to detail is impressive.

Thanks for posting Jeff.

Did they state when these would be available for pre-order, or were these just "pipeline reveals" for some future pre-order yet to be announced?

These were finished product and there wasn't a date given for pre-order.  Just that standard PR (paraphrase) that they've been using lately: at a later date to give fair chance for everyone.

[McMetal]

All four of those figures look terrific, but especially Echo and Omega. They are putting some great stuff out in the coming months/years.

[Dave]

What makes the Jedha Patrol Stormtrooper different than a normal Sandtrooper?  Looks to be the same figure, but he is packaged with a backpack and baton?  Is that it?

It's his fancy Jedha radio backpack with giant antenna.

Thanks.  I just saw the packaged front image and couldn't make it out.

Is that actually movie accurate, or just something "fun" they made up?

The pack is from the movie, but not sure how well you can see it in the film.  It shows up in quite a few of the promo stills from Jedha though.  Here is a better look at the pack from Yakface twitter/Isaac Wong instagram.

So I see that this wave is up for preorder on some Fan Channel outlets.  But there's no sign of it on Amazon or Hasbro Pulse.  Very strange.
