Questions for Hasbro? - Week 9 Answers
On August 11th, we sent our ninth batch of questions to Hasbro as part of the new weekly Star Wars Question and Answer feature. Today, we've got the answers to those questions!
1. Remember the RotS Sneak Preview Astromech Droid (R4-G9)? That is one killer Astromech sculpt (I love the retractable leg feature) and fans were thrilled to see it re-used for the EntertainmentEarth Droid 5-Packs. Our question is, when are you going to give us that sculpt with R2-D2's paint scheme?
** We're glad you like it - it's a favorite of ours, too. You'll be seeing R2 in this sculpt in 2007.
2. In 2007, will we see any basic figure "sub-lines" like the Ep3 Heroes and Villians or the Ep3 Greatest Battles Assortments?
** We don't have any plans right now for these lines. Both of those were created in response to a very large demand for basic figures. We are doing something a little different next year and getting ahead of the demand curve by providing support for the Saga through the first three months of 2007. The new waves that were shown at Comic Con will largely be available from late Nov through Spring. So in a way, we've already shown you what the new subline will be.... so more Saga.
3. The holster thigh-strap on the 2006 Garindan figure is a nice upgrade from previous figures that had the strap sculpted to the leg but not attached to the holster (example = VOTC Han, VTSC Endor Han). Is this something that could be standard now on all future Han Solo figures?
We'll look into it - thanks for the feedback.
If you've got a question you've always wanted to ask the Hasbro Star Wars Team, then head into our forums to find out how to submit your question!
