Title: 2023 Hasbro Pulse Con TVC Reveals

Looks like the Star Wars team will join the Hasbro Pulse Con stream at about 12:20pm ET on Friday, Sept 22. 

"During this panel, fans can join members of the Hasbro Marketing & Design teams, including Jing, Chris, Priya, Emily, and Eric as they talk about the popular Star Wars line from Hasbro, 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..."

[editors note:  "Word on the Holonet is there may also be a few surprises" - every panel, year after year.  I wonder how long they've been using that line?  2015 at least (https://sdccblog.com/2015/06/sdcc-2015-list-of-announced-panels/)]


Pre-orders start 4pm ET for Pulse Premium Members, 5pm ET for everyone else.  Reminder that the Pulse Con SW exclusive is Black Series 6" Starkiller with Stormtroopers (https://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=25612.0) set ($110.99).

Here is the full line-up -

PREDICTION TIME!

- A unveiling of one previously announced pipeline figure.
- Hoth Darth Vader with snow on his boots.
- One Mandalorian.

And that'll be it.  The rest will be brand new interesting characters but all Black Series.

I know you were joking but...

There is one figure from the SWCE pipeline reveals back in April that we haven't seen/pre-ordered yet: #Krennic

Krennic would be good to see. 

I think they'll want that Thrawn Body out into the world as fast as possible so they can sculpt a Lars Mikkelsen version for the Ahsoka card asap.

Yeah I'd love to see Krennic, but even more, I want that ****** on my Imperial shelf like yesterday.

I definitely expect that we'll see Krennic tomorrow.  Beyond that, IDK.  The 29th will be the day that Hasbro is doing media tours at Toy Fair.  I guess it comes down to how much does Hasbro want to hold back for Toy Fair.  Or are they just going to have everything that gets shown at Hascon available for people to photograph in person the following week?

Sounds like it’s Krennic and Chopper for TVC. 

Black Series getting Baylan and his apprentice.

Edit:  Jayson is also teasing Professor Huyang for TVC as well.

Jayson also dug up info on Huyang coming for TVC as well as a Captain Rex helmet for Role Play fans.

Adding TVC Chopper and Huyang are nice, but that still puts Black Series 6" Marrok, Baylon, and Shin ahead of TVC.

Ahsoka TVC figures would be sweet, but I still want a full set of main characters from Andor.  That has a second season coming (supposedly in August 2024) and I sure hope they put a lot more creative energy in to those figures before too long.

So this is not going to be the Chopper they promised us on the Mural Card? Boo.

I'm watching it on mute while I'm on a work call...

What's the story with the Galaxy of Heroes?  Is this a new thing they're going to be doing 2-packs with?

TVC Krennic, Chopper and Huyang are all great!  So nice to see new stuff...

The Huyang looks nice, but I hope they do the colors better on the final product.  I like the Chopper...a nice upgrade from the Disney figure from a few years ago.  Krennic is cool...should've been made 7 years ago.

The pipelines were a yawn fest with the exception of the Mando.  That troop builder pack is a waste.  They should make four different packs, one for each battalion!

After they revealed that 212th Utapau trooper 4-pack, I figured we'd be waist deep in Shocktrooper repaint 4-pack, 501st Trooper repaint 4-pack, etc. 

Such a dumb decision to bury that ONE regular 501st repaint in a pack with three figures that have already had basic carded releases...

Ah okay.  I wasn’t familiar with that.


The reveals all seem good. 

The pipeline reveals are boring to me at least.

So, are these supposed to be live at 4pm for Pulse Premium members? All I see is Krennic.

I wasn't even going to bother ordering the TVC figures on Hasbro Pulse.  I'm waiting until Amazon lists them because Pulse has a 2 figure limit on pretty much everything on the store.  And for TVC figures I've been leaning more towards 3 of each lately.

I can see all of them BUT Krennic.

Galaxy of Heroes is a super fun and addicting game…I highly recommend it.  :)

That 6” Shin is an awful likeness, yikes. 3D scanner must have been broken that day.

Are those Archive Series figures going to be available anywhere in the US? Wondering if they are all just straight repacks or what…

Not unless someone imports them from EU/Canada/Asia.
