A couple interesting tidbits from this latest round:
1) New Gamorrean Guard in the next 2 years
2) New Han in this year's later ANH wave
3) A couple new cantina aliens in that same wave (neither of which is Bom Vimdin)
4) BG-J38 (from Jabba's Palace) will be a BAD in early 2010! Link: http://banthaskull.com/forums/showthread.php?p=89128#post89128
I was glad to hear that a new Gamorrean is at least on their radar. That's a figure that I think could really get knocked out of the park these days (not that the POTF2 is all that bad either). Glad to hear there's another new Han on the way this year, although its disappointing it won't be the "ultimate" Bespin version yet. Since its the ANH wave, it almost has to be the ceremonial Han, doesn't it? We're already getting the Stormtrooper one in the current wave, and unless they are (finally) repacking the VOTC Han, there isn't a whole lot else to do for Han from ANH. I really think that the VOTC Han, Leia, EB Chewie, and even VOTC Luke should be rotated into either the Legends assortment or packed in as "Greatest Hits" figures alongside waves like this.
I noticed in one of the Q and A's (I don't remember the site now for sure) asked about OT vehicles, and it sounds like there wouldn't be anything "new" released in 2009, but some exclusive stuff later in the year (probably things like the rumored Wedge X-Wing, etc.) Not that I'm surprised, but I was sort of hoping for some more re-done OT ships. Of course, you can never know with Hasbro's answers anymore, since the Imperial Shuttle/Falcon/etc. situations. I'm still holding out for a re-done Snowspeeder in 2010 for Empire's 30th Anniversary.
One trend I've noticed in this round of Q and A's is a lot of Hasbro talking about how great the CW line is doing, and how much attention it will be getting. I can totally understand it - the show is great, and with kids getting into it too, it makes sense for it to be getting lots of attention. I just hope that we don't start seeing less and less of "Legacy" type stuff, until we're just barraged with CW merchandise and almost nothing else.
