But anyways, like Joe Moore and Jmacq1 both pointed out, there have been leaked pics of a few new characters as 6" Black figures, so I'm surprised that there was practically no mention of the Black lines.

Speculation on other sites (which I agree with) is that at least the 6" black series is just going to continue under the same assortment number it has now (which means it would fly under the radar of these new product listings), and just include Ep. 7 themed waves late next year.

There is a specific listing for a 6 inch vehicle though (Probably the "floating fudgesicle" speeder bike).

Sadly folks are less certain about the fate of the 3.75 inch black series, which many worry may get cancelled this year since it seems to be getting slowly phased out anyway.

Personally I think Hasbro will either give us at least a couple waves of "collector quality" Ep 7 figures in that scale (enough to cover the main characters and be able to say "we did them for you") or conversely they will have the main 3.75 inch assortment be more than 5 POA but perhaps a bit less than the level of articulation we've seen in the past. Basically some figs might not have wrist/ankle articulation (kind of like many of their Marvel movie offerings, which are less than "super-articulated" but more than 5 POA).

But yeah, there will totally be lots of 5 POA figs too. Probably that two pack assortment.
