Original Trilogy Collection / Re: Did OTC Do Well?
« on: January 3, 2005, 09:47 PM »
Yeah I've been mulling over what the future lies for the Star Wars brand post-ROTS and while I think there's still enough to keep us going, I'm not sure if it will actually happen. The 4-packs though aren't exactly a good example of why we won't get new figures. The exclusives are handled by a seperate entity at Hasbro and they have never made completely new items for exclusive toys, they will modify an existing toy to make it appear new, but the less modifications that have to be made, the better in their eyes. Just look at the Jedi Council sets 3 thru 6, the biggest changes to those figures are the legs and aren't they all pretty much the same?
Anyways, here's what I'd like to see Hasbro do post-ROTS, keeping in mind that they will likely continue the re-carding of existing figures. I, like everyone else want to see new figures and with what will be a total of 6 movies having been released, I think they can easily put out 4 new figures a month. This also takes into assumption that they won't be doing EU figures.
So with the standard case holding 12 figures I'd like to see, 4 new figures in each case at 2 a piece, then one rehashed army builder at 2 a piece (these will no doubt sell like hotcakes, especially Stormtroopers [VOTC perhaps? yeah right!
]) and then 2 individual rehashed characters. The individual rehashes can rotate out between main characters and unique characters as Hasbro sees fit, but in all cases, the rehashes should be the best possible versions of these figures. So that means the next Chewie that would be rehashed (VOTC not included) should be the Saga Bespin Chewie and NOT that piece of crap POTJ Mechanic Chewie!
Just a thought....
