On the 27th of October, and as a Pulse Premium Member Exclusive event, Hasbro held Pulse Premium 1027 a bonus event tagged onto Pulse Con like last year's after-party. The event was hosted by Steve Evans and included the various brand teams working through some more content, including some new reveals held back from their main Pulse Con presentations.
The Star Wars segment of 1027 focused solely on The Black Series and provided us with a look at four figures that had previously been confirmed via the pipeline reveal format. The new Bib Fortuna was shown to come with what appears to be the same three cups as included in the Cantina set. Why Hasbro could not do a nod to his Vintage staff is unknown. The new Rogue One Jedha Patrol Stormtrooper adds a pauldron and new backpack to the existing Imperial Stormtrooper body.
Omega will feature her bow, face mask, and Ruby the Lizard as seen in Battle Scars and Infected. And finally, we have Echo who looks to feature two arm attachments, his blaster, and a removable helmet.
None of the four are up for pre-order yet nor has there been a full press release, but it is looking like they are part of a larger wave in 2022 which will also include the general releases of Pondo Baba & Doctor Evazan, and the Medal Ceremony Princess Leia.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
