New Star Wars Mighty Muggs Wave 8

The Blot is getting royally confused on the numbering of these Star Wars Mighty Muggs Waves. First there was the confusion over the Target Exclusive Wave and now we have pictures coming from JediInsider.com about an all new wave of Star Wars Mighty Muggs, which includes Wicket the Ewok, Jedi Qui-Gon Jin, a member of the Emperor’s Royal Guard and a Wampa beast from the frozen planet of Hoth.

Star Wars Mighty Muggs Wave 8 - Wicket the Ewok, Qui-Gon Jin, Emperor's Royal Guard & a Wampa
The reason I can’t figure out exactly where this Wave fits into future releases and what number we should be calling it is because it didn’t include the previously seen Episode IV Obi-Wan Kenobi and Gamorrean Guard figures. Since those two figures and Wicket were on the back of the Target Exclusive Wave, it was easy to assume they were going to be making up the upcoming Wave 8. Either Wicket is in both Waves or the Episode IV Obi-Wan and Gamorrean Guard have been pushed back for a later release.

UPDATE: It looks like this line-up is officially Star Wars Mighty Muggs Wave 8! I guess only time will tell when and in what capacity Episode IV Obi-Wan Kenobi and Gamorrean Guard will be released released.
