2022 TVC Wave 5 (New TVC Wave 26)

[Jeff]

Since Hasbro has started pre-ordering figures from 2022 TVC Wave 4 , I thought I'd go ahead and create a list for this one.  Not sure if today's pipeline reveals of Ep2 Anakin and TCW Mandalorian Commando will end up in this wave or another one.  Here's Jayson's rumor list (taken from his very excellent 2022 Master UPC/DPCI/SKU List Update.

VC???  “Phoenix” – New
VC???  “Tucson” – New
VC???  “Scottsdale” – New
VC???  “Bothell” – Mandalorian
VC???  “Seattle” – Mandalorian

I don't think Anakin would be in this wave along with all of these desert-y Arizona cities. He hates sand afterall.

VC???  “Bothell” – Mandalorian
VC???  “Seattle” – Mandalorian

After seeing Axe, Koska, and Migs today, I'm looking forward to Jayson leaking Hasbro announcing these... wonder what they could be at this point?

Cobb Vanth, Tusken Robes Fett (Tython) and Dark Trooper will all probably be "expensive deco" type releases so maybe not them.

The Client?  Frog Lady with Egg Bucket?  Cloaked Luke Skywalker?  Peli Motto?  X-Wing pilot (Carson Teva or Trapper Wolf)?

Sweater Mon Calamari.

I’d buy sweater Mon Calamari.  I hope he comes with some flan.

Well, that speculation ended quickly - Jayson updated his rumor list for this wave and it looks like it changed a little.  I guess Bothell and Seattle were not Mando figures after all unless Hasbro shifted things around.  New rumor list for this wave:

VC???  “Bothell” Anakin Skywalker (AotC)
VC???  “Seattle” – Mandalorian Commando (TCW)
VC???  “Phoenix” – New
VC???  “Tucson” – New
VC???  “Scottsdale” – New
VC???  “Bar Harbor” – New

[Jesse James]

All bad batch!  You’re all welcome.

The character selections seem so completely random now - nothing is really current.  I have zero idea of what to expect at this point that's not in the current shows.  And even that's confusing, since we have to wait close to a year or more for a character to make it from on screen to a fully realized figure.

MAYBE there will be more characters from Clone Wars season 7.  Bad Batch?  Who knows?  Maybe the Client, since the Black Series figure is out, and they want to fill out the Nevarro Cantina.  And perhaps a figure that works with the upcoming throne room playset.

Time for a pre May the 4th Livestream update here...  latest rumored list for this wave via  YakFace Master List:

VC???  “Bothell”  =  AOTC Anakin Skywalker (Pipeline Revealed 2/9)
VC???  “Seattle” = TCW Mandalorian Commando (Pipeline Revealed 2/9)
VC???  “Bar Harbor” = TM Artillery Stormtrooper (Pipeline Revealed 4/6)
VC???  “Phoenix” – New
VC???  “Tucson” – New
VC???  “Scottsdale” – New

Jayson is hinting that the Anakin and TCW Mando Commando will likely be revealed in full on Wednesday and then pre-orders on Thursday 5/5.

I've been looking more closely at the Anakin with the softgoods.  The cloak is awkward in general.  But the color looks like it's black and not dark brown.  And with the hood up it doesn't look good.

[Ryan]

I really like the super commando figure, count me in for at least 6 of him. I don't recall from the art or his deco, this wasn't a specific character, right? He is just a more generic soldier?

Anakin looks good. I have plenty of Anakins though so it doesn't overly excited me. I'll still probably end up grabbing one though.

Thanks Jeff! I grabbed one Anakin and 8 of the Super Commando.

[Rob]

I grabbed 6 commandos... the Anakin doesn't show up in my cart when I preorder and it seems to be gone already?  Or glitching...
