Questions for Hasbro? - Session 46
On January 25th, we sent another batch of questions to Hasbro for their Star Wars Question and Answer feature. Today, we've got the answers to those three questions!
1. OK, we've seen the new pics of the "shadow" EU coins coming with a few of the Legends figures in 2008. What we haven't seen yet is a picture of a figure with a silver EU Coin. Previously you had mentioned plans for one. Will there still be a silver EU coin or were those plans changed in favor of the shadow coin idea?
** Neither, actually. We decided to pursue "shadow" coins for the two Shadow troopers (Storm and Clone), but due to the tight timing, the factory ran the Dark trooper coin (which is gold) to pack in with the Covert Ops Trooper. So right now, there will be no silver EU coin - only gold and black.
2. Let's pretend that you were planning to re-issue the B-Wing Starfighter as say, oh I don't know, a TRU exclusive this year. Would you include a new human pilot figure with the hypothetical ship or would you just re-pack the Sullustan B-Wing Pilot from the previous releases?
** Hypothetically, there would be specific reasons why we would *not* want to do a Sullustan and do something else instead.
3. And our monthly Indy question - Toht. We've seen the new figures for Indy, Sallah, Belloq, Marion, and the rest of the Raiders gang, but no sign of Toht yet. Can we expect to see the creepy man in black in 2008?
** Not in 2008; we just couldn't fit him in. Hold tight for news on him, and some others, further down the road.
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!
