In the world of action figure collecting, some of the biggest news doesn’t come from a press release or a high-production “Fanstream,” but rather from the back-end databases of major retailers. This week, a significant Star Wars The Vintage Collection leak occurred when Amazon Canada accidentally published a product page for a new Baze Malbus figure.
The listing, which has since been making waves across social media and collector forums, features the product code G25335L0 and the placeholder name “VIN Starry.” The “VIN” clearly denotes “Vintage.”
Who is Baze Malbus?
Baze Malbus is a battle-hardened warrior and a central figure in the heist of the Death Star plans during the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Once a devoted Guardian of the Whills at the Temple of the Kyber on Jedha, Baze’s faith in the Jedi and the Force was shattered when the Empire occupied his homeworld and stripped the temple of its sacred crystals. This loss transformed him from a spiritual protector into a pragmatic, heavily armed mercenary. Despite his outward cynicism and lack of belief in the “mystical energy field,” he remained fiercely loyal to his companion Chirrut Îmwe, serving as the physical shield and sharpshooter for the blind monk.
In combat, Baze is defined by his proficiency with heavy weaponry, most notably his M-45 Repeating Bolt System. This massive, custom-built blaster is linked to a high-capacity power backpack by a signature ammunition belt, allowing him to lay down suppressing fire against waves of Stormtroopers. Though he initially joined the Rebel cause out of necessity and loyalty to Chirrut, his journey culminated in a selfless stand on the beaches of Scarif. His sacrifice, alongside the rest of the Rogue One crew, ensured the survival of the Rebellion and the eventual destruction of the Empire’s ultimate weapon.
What This Means for TVC Fans
For those tracking the Star Wars The Vintage Collection leak, this Amazon Canada slip-up is more than just a glitch; it’s a roadmap. When these listings appear, it usually indicates that the physical product is already in the shipping pipeline or sitting in a distribution warehouse awaiting a “street date.” This one will most likely be revealed by Hasbro at their next big online event.
Collectors should keep a close eye on Hasbro Pulse and major Fan Channel retailers over the next few weeks. Often, when a major retailer like Amazon leaks a listing, Hasbro is forced to move up their official reveal to get ahead of the grainy “in-hand” photos that inevitably follow.
The Vintage Collection continues to be the premier line for fans who value the classic Kenner-style card backs and high levels of articulation. Despite the rising costs of collecting, the community remains dedicated to the 3.75-inch scale. A new leak like this provides a spark of excitement, proving that Hasbro still has plenty of surprises left for 2026.
As of this writing, the Amazon Canada page remains a “ghost” listing, often appearing as “Currently Unavailable.” However, the data is out there, and the countdown to the official “Baze Malbus” pre-order has officially begun. Stay tuned to Outer Rim News as we continue to track this story and provide updates the moment Hasbro makes it official.
