Fans of drawn out product reveals leading to onesie twosie pre-orders and tons of wasted dollars on shipping, rejoice! :P
Just like Mando Mondays and Bring Home the Bounty, StarWars.com has announced Obi-Wan Wednesdays (https://www.starwars.com/news/obi-wan-wednesdays), the latest weekly marketing blitz for a new Disney+ show.
Obi-Wan Wednesdays will kick off on May 25th, two days ahead of the double-episode premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and run through June 29th, each week highlighting items revealed in the limited series.
-
The next announcement today on StarWars.com (https://www.starwars.com/news/obi-wan-wednesdays-week-1)
A handful of different things, but for Hasbro figures it looks like pre-orders will be available tomorrow at 1PM ET. Reva (Third Sister) will be available in The Vintage Collection, The Black Series, and Retro.
-
Is this figure part of a wave with other previously announced figures?
-
Is this figure part of a wave with other previously announced figures?
Yes.
TVC Reva is in Wave 26 with AOTC Anakin, Mando Commando Jetpack Guy, Kenobi Obi-Wan, and Kenobi Vader
BS6" Reva is in the wave with Ewok Leia, Figrin, Security Droid, Kenobi Obi-Wan, etc
Retro Reva is in the Retro Obi-Wan wave with 5 yet-to-be-revealed figures.

Thanks Jeff!
I ended up preordering her from EE since there was some other stuff I wanted and they have a Free Shipping Deal going right now.
Guess this will be another wave I assemble piecemeal, just like the Omega wave.
-
He probably spoiled an upcoming Obi-Wan Wednesday reveal, but here's a peek at BS6" Grand Inquisitor figure from Rupert - I'm not sure if this is in the Ewok Leia/Reva/OWK wave or the next one after that.

Another look at Grand Inquisitor from Celebration (https://twitter.com/yak_face/status/1530245109270384642) - he is #9 in the OWK line - so Reva, Grand Inquisitor, Obi-Wan, Vader and at least 5 other figures from the show coming....

It’s kind of weird that they aren’t revealed in some kind of order. The Grand Inquisitor is already #9 in the series but there are 5 others within that 1-8 range that are unknown.
-
Vader and Meatcutter Obi-Wan. Pre-Order tomorrow, 6/2 at 1pm ET.
Kind of annoying they couldn't just include him in today's bolus of pre-orders, but whatever.

Are there any new parts on this Vader? It looks like a repack of the 40AC/2017 #45 Vader to me, but I can't remember little tiny details about the costumes anymore.
-
Are there any new parts on this Vader?
Seems to be a new head/helmet sculpt and possible new hands/gloves. Not sure on the deco/paint.
-
Hasbro PR was kind enough to pass along the Obi-Wan pre-order link so posting it here for folks... link is not live until tomorrow.
STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES 6-INCH BEN KENOBI (TIBIDON STATION)
- Available for pre-order 6/2 at 1 p.m. ET exclusively on Target.com (https://www.target.com/p/-/A-84794266).
STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES DARTH VADER Figure
- Available for pre-order 6/2 at 1 p.m. ET on Hasbro Pulse and most major retailers. Amazon link -> https://amzn.to/3GGIjzD

What an ordeal! First I ordered OBW by himself, then realized I could add Vader too and get free shipping, so I placed a second order. But then my second order got cancelled. I guess maybe there is a quantity limit?
So I went back and canceled the first order. When I went to re-place the order a 3rd time Vader was sold out. WTH so I was back to ordering just the single figure again which is what I did in the first place!
Ugh.
-
Obi-Wan already sold out???? Glad I got my order in.
-
Has anyone heard anything on what's up with Shop Disney's Concept Vader Kenobi set?
-
This week's announcement (https://www.starwars.com/news/obi-wan-wednesdays-week-3) is for Kenobi Retro figures (and other stuff):
- Obi-Wan Kenobi (Wandering Jedi)
- Fifth Brother
- Grand Inquisitor
- NED-B
- Darth Vader
Pre-orders tomorrow, and since there is no mention of exclusivity I assume these will be broadly available.
-
My Rebels 5th Brother and Grand Inquisitor animated figures look SO MUCH better than these dorks. Hard pass.
-
The 8 year old me LOVES that Vader.
-
This week's latest (https://www.starwars.com/news/obi-wan-wednesdays-week-4) brings us the following:
The Black Series
- Purge Trooper (Phase II Armor) - Wal-Mart Exclusive - I'm not sure if this is any different from what GameStop released before or not
- 1-JAC - Wal-Mart Exclusive
Yakface is also saying there is a Black Series Tala (https://yakfaceforums.com/main/2022/06/15/obi-wan-wednesdays-tvc-and-tbs-reveals/) that will be available tomorrow, but this wasn't part of the announcement on StarWars.com
The Vintage Collection
- Darth Vader - you get swappable hands but I'm not sure if this sculpt is different than what we've got already
Pre-orders tomorrow

I feel like up til today, 99% of us assumed that was 4-LOM…dang! ;D

If it were 4-LOM then they couldn’t sell us a new figure ;)
-
But didn't he get shot? Seemed obvious it wasn't 4-LOM I thought.

Droids can be rebuilt.
But being a LOM model, it's weird that they went with 1-JAC instead of 12-LOM or something.
-
Still never thought it was 4lom post the episode

I know a lot of people were avoiding spoilers/stories before the premiere, but I had read this story a while back - https://uproxx.com/tv/obi-wan-kenobi-4-lom-one-jack/
I am guessing the JAC is a nod to someone involved with the show somehow.
-

Never said it was, Nick. Being a bit argumentative today?

Nope just seldomly agree with you Steve
I guess I was just piggybacking off my response to McMetal that 99% of people thought it was 4LOM.
-
People obviously didn't know until the figure showed up or read the articles posted.
But to this point:
But didn't he get shot? Seemed obvious it wasn't 4-LOM I thought.
That's wrong: Threepio was shot in Empire, reassembled. Artoo was shot by Vader in his TIE and by a Stormtrooper on Endor, fully restored... so people can assume that 4-LOM was that droid (even though he had a bandolier and pistols in that scene) even though he was shot.
Nope just seldomly agree with you Steve
Wow! Well, for future reference you don't have to reply to my posts. It'll save you the angst. As the Sandtrooper said, "Move along, move along!"

Yay Star Wars

Darth Vader and Tala are both up on Amazon.

NED-B announced today for pre-order tomorrow. It doesn't appear to be an exclusive.

Not exclusive - Pulse plus "most major retailers". It is a deluxe release - $34 MSRP.
-
I have been wanting this droid ever since I first saw him in the trailer. And I like how this particular droid got characterized in OWK - a silent, giant protector. Almost like a droid Chewbacca, but without the fur and howling!
The color seems a little bit off to me for some reason. Seeing a production sample will be nice.

Was just able to get a preorder in for Tibidon Station OBW after all my previous orders were canceled. Fingers crossed this one sticks.
