Hasbro has released some more info on the various panels planned for Pulse Con.  Here are the Hasbro Star Wars details - all three are on Friday 9/25:

Hasbro Star Wars Brand Team - Panelists: Hasbro Star Wars Brand Team

Join members of the Hasbro Marketing & Design teams and Lucasfilm Product Development team as they discuss the popular Hasbro Star Wars line, including the Black Series and The Vintage Collection. Attendees will get an in-depth look at Hasbro’s latest action figure and premium roleplay offerings from throughout the saga. Word on the Holonet is there may also be a few surprises. This is the way!

Hasbro Star Wars HasLab Panel - Panelists: Hasbro Star Wars Brand Team

In 2018 we launched HasLab with a dream: make the biggest Vintage Collection vehicle ever, the ones fans had been requesting for years, Jabba’s Sail Barge, the Khetanna. Join members of the Hasbro Marketing & Design teams as they reveal the next Star Wars HasLab Vintage Collection dream project!

Star Wars Entertainment Panel - Panelists: Ashley Eckstein, Dee Bradley Baker, Patrick from the Hasbro Star Wars Brand Team

Join Ashley Eckstein, aka Ahsoka Tano, and the Captain himself, Dee Bradley Baker, from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels to discuss both shows as well as new and exciting Hasbro product inspired by the series. Moderated by Patrick from the Hasbro Star Wars Brand Team, you’ll get the inside scoop on their personal Star Wars collections and a first look at their reactions to seeing their characters come to life in figure form.

This would have been the EU Convention exclusive this year had there been conventions.  Same sort of deal as the "Skywalker Strikes" Luke figure last year.  Available in the EU and then Hasbro Pulse, with possibly some other on-line shops carrying it (TBD).

And yes, a basic 6" Cad Bane figure will be released in the regular 6" line box as well (probably without Todo-360).

Star Wars Black Series Exclusive Cad Bane and Todo360

Revealed during the live-stream.  Pre-order goes live on September 15th.

Uses the new mold with blue stripes/lieutenant color scheme.

Another reveal from today's Hasbro Pulse live stream:  Eight 5-packs with "the best" 5POA figures, updated with photo-real deco.

Hasbro says this is the last hurrah for the 5POA figures.  After this, the kid-focused 3.75" 5POA figures go in the vault (for now) so they can focus on 3.75" SA for collectors and other lines/expressions for kids.  (Does not include fan-focused "Retro Kenner" stuff).

The 5-Packs:
Rebel Alliance - R2, Jedi Luke, Bespin Han, Hoth Leia, Chewbacca
The Resistance - BB-8 w/Porg, Poe, Rey, Finn, C3PO
The First Order - BB-9E, Mouse Droid, Hux, Phasma, FO Stormtrooper, FO Flametrooper
Jedi Order - R7-A7, Mace, Yoda, OBi-Wan, Anakin
Galactic Republic - OOM-10, Clone, Shocktrooper, Cody, 501st
Galactic Empire - R2-Q5, Biker Scout, Snowtrooper, TIE Pilot, Squad Leader
Bounty Hunters - R5-P8, Boba, IG-88, Jango, Bossk
The Sith - TC-4, Maul, Palps, Vader, Kylo

BOLD names are new repaints, rest are repacks (with photoreal deco for humans)

Also revealed during today's Pulse live stream... should be plenty of pics coming out later.

Includes TVC Rogue One carded Fleet Trooper with photoreal deco.

$30.  All of the Rebels crew plus Ahsoka are getting a re-release in the new packaging this summer too...  will make a nice set for SW Rebels fans.

Hasbro is conducting a Star Wars: The Black Series Archive Fan Vote and they've asked us to help!  Starting today, fans of The Black Series 6" figure line can cast their vote to select a 6" figure to be refreshed with photoreal deco (if applicable).  Read on for all the details on how to vote.

JediDefender Star Wars: The Black Series Archive Fan Vote

How do I vote?

- To vote, simply add a post to this thread with the name of the figure you'd like to see added to the Black Series Archive line.  If you'd rather keep your vote private, you can e-mail us once a day instead.  Please note that you CANNOT vote in both the forum thread AND via email in the same day.

- At the end of the poll, we'll count the votes and figure out the top ten figures to be forwarded to the Hasbro team for consideration in the final round of voting, which will be hosted at Hasbro Pulse. When the voting round at Hasbro Pulse is finished, some lucky figure will be joining The Black Series Archive line!

What are the rules?

- Fans can vote on any character that has been featured in the Hasbro Star Wars: The Black Series Line to be made as a refresh with photoreal deco (if applicable) and put into the Black Series Archive line
- This would need to be a figure that Hasbro has created for the Black Series line in the past (no new figures)
- Must be able to be executed in the Archive expression (ie. Could not be a vehicle, Jabba, the Wampa, etc.)
- Only 1 vote can be submitted per fan per day
- The poll closes at 11:59pm EST on Friday, 5/8
- Once the polls have closed on Friday, 5/8, Hasbro Pulse will host the final vote featuring the top 10 figures selected by the fans themselves on Friday, 5/15

PLEASE POST ONLY FIGURE NAMES IN THIS THREAD

- If your post contains extra text, I'm just going to delete it.  Please discuss the poll in this thread.  Thanks!
