    RUMOR REPORT: NEW TVC FIGURE CODE NAMES AND MORE

    As a follow up to our Black Series report from Monday, we’ve found a few more product details, this time for the Vintage Collection — some from Episode IX, plus 2 rumored E4 characters and one from the EU. Click on through for the breakdown.


    First up: Episode IX
    VC??? London (E9)
    VC??? Cairo Axer (E9)
    VC??? Berlin Leader (E9)
    VC??? Bruges Red (E9)
    VC??? Bruges Red Rocket (E9)

    “London” once again makes the list and I again think it’s Rey. “Berlin Leader”, to me, sounds like it may be Kylo Ren and the Bruges Red could be versions/variant of those leaked red First Order Stormtroopers. As for Cairo Axer, your guess is as good as mine.

    OT and EU
    VC??? Jawa (E4)
    VC??? Luke Skywalker (E4)
    VC??? Shadow Trooper (EU)

    These are pretty self-explanatory. Hasbro is probably going to reissue one of the Jawas released as a two pack in 3.75″ Black Series line. The Luke is probably the Yavin Ceremony figure we exclusively revealed back in March. The surprise one here is the Shadow Trooper from EU/Legends. No word if all or some of these are exclusives but we may get answers next week at Celebration. Or not.

    Maybe the giant baby is the same type of thing as Bendu(can't remember what his kind is called) and some type of dark side "force vampire" is draining its power and knowledge...lol as I typed that I realized it sounds pretty iffy, but also interesting

    Doesn’t photo L look a little bit like that spidery creature sitting on the elf baby’s head?

    Totally, although it looks more friendly than the drawing

    The "baby elf head" doesn't really look like it would fit into SW. I'm sure that if this is real though, JJ will make it fit. =P

    This feels like something from the Frank Oz fantasy world like Dark Chrystal or maybe from one of those 80s fantasy films like Legend, Labyrinth or The Neverending Story

    I’m not really sure what to think about this. I’m not against it and I’m sure visually it will look better than the picture if this turns out to be real. If real, I suspect this will fall in to the category of weird controversial SW creatures like the Rathtars, Bor gullet, and the thala-siren Luke milked.

    I personally love all these grotesque creatures. It makes the SW’s universe feel both unavoidably dangerous and interestingly decadent :)

    So I have been away from anything SW related for like a year (as my posting history here shows sorry guys!), but from what I have been hearing, it seems the plot of the movie is shaping up to be around Anakin's past and Threepio seems to be a catalyst with that, while a new threat is rising outside of the main conflict? Is that what I am getting out of this?

    It seems like it will be something along those lines. Hopefully whatever they have planned for C3po turns out to be interesting... an idea I have that I hope isn't the case is they might need 3po's memory to reactivate a battle droid army to help in the fight (remember when his head was attached to a battledroid in AotC? Maybe he has some intel from that). I'm probably way off though.

    That's funny, because I've logged in for the first time in ages today too! Episode IX is getting too exciting! Not that I been uninterested... I've just preferred lurking for the year or so! Good to be back though

    When I first read about this rumour, it made me recall the scene in Episode 1, where we - for a moment - see through C-3PO's eyes. This made me think there might be more of those instances. When shown, these could be from anytime in Threepio's past.
