Questions for Hasbro? - Session 27
On March 23rd, we sent our twenty-seventh batch of questions to Hasbro for their Star Wars Question and Answer feature. Today, we've got the answers to those questions!
1. Since you were kind enough to confirm the imminent 2007 arrival of the torture rack for Bespin Han Solo last time, can you give us any juicy details on the Han that surely accompanies it? Super-Articulated? All scowly-faced in an "ow, stop torturing me" manner? All new? Repack? Please?
** The figure is partially new with new face (there is more emotion but not all the way to extreme pain), with new upper legs, new torso, and new arms.
2. Let's talk 30AC "Vintage" IG-88. First off, he looks amazing. On par with the Vintage OTC Chewbacca and all the detail he had. What type of knee and elbow joints is
IG-88 sporting (if any)? It's tough to tell from photos we've seen so far where all his articulation lies.
**They are insert molded ball joints at the elbows and knees. He is a sensational figure! We can't wait to get him to the shelf. He is also one of the reasons why Vintage is one of the more labor intensive and tooling intensive lines we have and why we can only slot them in batches of 5 or so when we can do them, but it's all worth it.
3. The new 30th Anniversary Mace Windu can't sit down due to his plastic skirt. With the Mace Windu Jedi Starfighter on the shelves, one might assume that this Mace would be able to pilot the ship, but the skirt will keep him upright and out of the ship. What happened? Any plans to correct the skirt, either with soft goods or side splits to allow more flexibility?
** He's not the only Mace out there (or will be out there) so this wasn't deliberately considered when we wanted to achieve a certain aesthetic. We do not plan any updates to the skirt for this one.
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!
