Hasbro appreciation thread.

I was looking at some photos from Toy Fair and saw a pretty cool looking Bespin Leia. Would be interested in that one if I can find it.

She'll be available in the SDCC exclusive pack and then released later at retail.

So disappointed in the new Shock Trooper. Does Hasbro not realize they have giant over-sized helmets? Same with the Phase II Captain Rex. Looks like a joke.

Their helmets are terrible


Figure of the year.....just luv the soft goods approach here

I missed the scene where Tarkin was wearing a skirt.

What I was thinking too. I don't understand the need to give Tarkin soft goods. It's implied due to his age.

Hey guys, here's the new Trade Federation MTT. It's strange that they chose to have the droids standing up in the deployment rack, but it's still a pretty awesome vehicle.

Hmm, I like Rex. Wish his helmet had a more of a worn paint job like the show...but Hasbro would probably botch that up anyway. Love to see the new Commander Wolffe as well, but hopefully they nail the paint job.

They need to do a box set of the Umbara arc of just the clones I'd buy it right up. Give me Fives (my most anticipated figure, cause you know he's coming out eventually!), Hardcase, Dogma, and the others.

And Starkiller is coming out so late. Plus, Hasbro picks the weirdest costumes to put him in. Isn't that his hidden bounty hunter outfit?

i agree.. i wish they'd do a bunch of clone sets. have each of the commanders with their phase 2 armor, and two of their troops. like gree, bly, cody, rex, etc..

i don't think rex's helmet looks too bad. it does look a little big, but the helmet looks a little big on the show as well.

Hmmm MTT cooler than I expected in some ways, lousier than I expected in a lot of other ways.

Haha yeah. It's cool because it's an MTT and it has a motorized deployment rack, but the fixed standing droids and the babyish clone wars version of the droid voices are really lame.

Passing on any Prequel vehicles, just not my thing.

How many decades do we gotta wait for a little (new) Imperial Bike? Seems like a no brainer in a $20 price point or so

 

[Sachiel]

They'll make a new one for the RotJ 3D release.

Yeah, especially since this was supposed to be the Big Millennium Falcon equivalent for this year, it seems rather unimpressive.

 

[Coheteboy]

Yah. Before seeing that video, I was onboard with the MTT. Now I'm not so sure. I think it'll be another "wait for a major clearance" like I did with the Falcon and AT-AT.

Re: Hasbro Star Wars 2012 Deluxe Electronic Lightsabers

Does anyone know for certain if the new Hasbro Star Wars 2012 Deluxe Electronic Lightsabers fully retract into the handle?

 

[Khev]

I hope that the rumor about the MTT also appearing in vintage style packaging turns out to be true.

Are these the plastic ones? I don't think they do.

 

[Coheteboy]

Oh and... Happy Valentimes Day, freaks! errr.. anti-valentines...

 

[Khev]

The Mon Mothma one made me .

Anyone know what these are? Is this the new line of packaging:

I'm not collecting PT anymore but that droid deployment feature is really cool. Still, overall this thing looks too small for my liking. I know they can't make them to actual scale with the figures but sometimes they go too small.
