When Hasbro started making 6-inch Star Wars action figures not too long ago, they were just going to test the market and maybe they could sell a few waves, make a profit, and be done with the line. It seems like that’s the case for most toys these days, but the 6-inch Star Wars Black Series is really something else. It has become extremely popular, so popular in fact that were are now getting into wave 6, 7 and 8. Dork Side Toys has listed several figures were already knew were coming, but also several surprises!

Now because of the way Dork Side Toys has listed the products for pre-order, it’s making it a little bit harder to determine the exact wave breakdown. They have each of the figures listed as single figures, not full cases. They currently have Bossk, C-3Po, and Han Solo in Stormtrooper disguise scheduled for a late October arrival. Then they have both the Clone Trooper Sergeant and the Tie Fighter Pilot listed for a December arrival. Finally they have Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi (unknown version), IG-88, Commander Cody, and Princess Leia (Boushh Disguise) listed for a 1st quarter 2015 arrival.





We have previously seen some of the figures, but Obi-Wan Kenobi (unknown version), IG-88, Commander Cody, and Princess Leia (Boushh Disguise) are all new figures. There aren’t currently images available, but I would expect them to be available very soon now that they are up for pre-order.

Now I’m going to take a stab at what I think the wave breakdowns are going to be, but please keep in mind that nothing regarding the official breakdown of the Star Wars Black Series 6-inch Waves 6, 7 and 8 has been officially announced.

Wave 6 (OCTOBER)

Han Solo Stormtrooper

C-3Po

Bossk

Unknown re-pack

Wave 7 (DECEMBER)

Tie Fighter Pilot

Clone Trooper Sergeant

Unknown re-pack?

Unknown re-pack?

Wave 8 (1st QUARTER 2015)

Commander Cody

Princess Leia (Boushh Disguise)

IG-88

Obi Wan Kenobi (unknown version)

Yoda?

Since there are 5 figures listed for a 1st quarter arrival, I can’t quite figure out when Yoda is going to be released. He could possibly take the place of one of the figures in wave 8, or there could be a couple more unannounced figures coming in early 2015.

You should also keep in mind that there are several new deluxe figures coming soon, all of which you can take a look at in our Hasbro Star Wars San Diego Comic-Con 2014 Gallery.





After searching around the Internet to find it any other retailers have any of these figures listed, I found a couple of sites, but even they can’t confirm the official case breakdown for wave 6, 7 or 8. I find it very odd that we still haven’t seen C-3PO even though some retailers have his scheduled for arrival in October 2014.

Until Hasbro makes an official announcement, I wouldn’t rush and try to pre-order any of the figures listed above. Waiting will save you tons of pre-order headaches that are likely to happen when Hasbro all of a sudden changes the case breakdown.

There are lots of new 6-inch Star Wars Black Series figures coming very soon by the looks of it. Which characters are you most excited for to join the line?
