30AC McQuarrie/Concept Figures

[Jeff]

So you mean there's absolutely, positively no hope for Lando in Bespin evening gown?

Not this year... but Hasbro has said a  number of times in the Q&A that the concept figures were well recieved and they may consider doing more in the future - examples:

"...the concept has really been a big hit and there is a possibility that we will do some more in the future."

"What we have shown is it for concept figures for the year, but judging by great fan response, it is an idea we are considering revisiting in future years"

For the 80th time...the final AOTC Wave is supposed to contain a Concept Rebel Trooper

Yes, yes, yes.   How soon folks forget these things...

And, for the proof:  The Hasbro Stands sticker sheet lists the following:

• Boba Fett - McQuarrie Concept
• Chewbacca - McQuarrie Concept
• C-3PO - McQuarrie Concept
• Darth Vader - McQuarrie Concept
• Han Solo- McQuarrie Concept
• Luke Starkiller - McQuarrie Concept (aka Hero Starkiller)
• Luke Skywalker - McQuarrie Concept
• Obi-Wan Kenobi - McQuarrie Concept
• R2-D2 - McQuarrie Concept
• Rebel Trooper - McQuarrie Concept
• Snowtrooper - McQuarrie Concept
• Stormtrooper - McQuarrie Concept
• Yoda - McQuarrie Concept

That's the 13 figures. 

AND, please note that the sticker sheet also lists General McQuarrie without mentioning him as part of the concept line.

I'm still not sure why Hasbro is still being coy about that AotC Wave when so many of the figures (Voolif Mon, Concept Rebel, Droideka w/Shield) have been leaked or hinted at... hopefully the wave is shown at SDCC so this can be settled once and for all.   

That's interesting.....

I know I posted this somewhere on these boards already but.....
My son, brother and I went and spoke to the Hasbro guys in the booth after the QandA after the panel at C4. They(was it Darrel?) told us that basically, the concept grievous IS a part of the 'concept line' it will even include the same concept packaging too but will have McQuarrie's printed name and signature removed from the packaging. Oh and they told us that the hoth trooper with McQ's face is NOT part of the line(since it's not a concept)-instead it's meant as a tribute.

We started the conversation off with..something to the effect of '12 figures' and Hasbro (there was 3 of them) countered with ' when did we say there was 12?? ' and had a big laugh about it. After continued discussion they gave the answers above later.

If anyone is still looking for McChewie, he's in stock at Hasbroshop.com.

[Brian]

Thanks for the heads up, I was able to order a McChewie, as well as extras of the Jawa and Stormtrooper.

[BrentS]

McChewie went out of stock when he was in my cart.  I was going to order him and some Jawas for my army.  I couldn't pull the trigger when it was just the jawas though.

[ruiner]

I had a Jawa in my cart when all of a sudden he was gone.

Yet, the stormie was still in stock. 

What does that tell you?

Technically since Yoda/Obi-Wan and 3PO/R2 are both in two pack form, there are still only 11 carded McQuarrie figures/sets. Add that Concept Greivous and you get the 12th.

[Reid]

The SDCC Obi-Wan is a ANH concept, am I right on this?

[JACKOFTRADZE]

You are correct ANH Obi concept.

[Darth_Anton]

I had a Jawa in my cart when all of a sudden he was gone.

Yet, the stormie was still in stock. 

What does that tell you?

That there are twice as many Stormies out there? 

[ruiner]

Wow, these are two of the best head sculpts I've seen in a long time:

[DarkKnight2k4]

Man do I love these figures !!!

[David]

Wow! Okay I need these for my set of Mcfigures, are they available online?

These look really good, maybe even better than Chewie.

[Dan]

I definately agree with Ruiner here- those are some nice scupts- the hands look fantastic too. the McFigures are the best part of TAC IMO, and these look great. I wish they had done a little more work on Vader and Luke to make them closer to the source material, but most of these are superb.

[David]

Concept Grievous looks pretty good from the SDCC pictures, Im actually considering getting him now.
