HASBRO Q&A SESSION #3
Question #1
Dear Hasbro,
Regarding the Titanium series wave 1 of 2008, Saesee Tinn's starfighter seems to carry the Imperial six-spoken logo instead of the correct Republic eight-spoked logo as carried correctly by the other Titanium Series Jedi Starfighters. Will this be corrected before this wave begins shipping?
Regards
Darth Windu
HASBRO REPLY:
You have sharp eyes. This was not caught before shipment began.Instead, it will be a running change.
Question #2
Hasbro,
With a line like Star Wars, I feel that vehicles are the backbone of the line. The movies themselves have always put a lot of emphasis on the vehicles. Very few other boy toy lines focus so heavily of vehicles from both the good guys and the bad guys. Batman is a line that springs to mind that only focus on Batman's vehicles. Having said that, what can you tell us about the 2008 vehicle line-up prior to Toy Fair? i.e. How may we are likely to see. Will your focus for the vehicles change to The Clone Wars later this year or will you try and keep it an even mix of Movie and TV?
thank-you
regards
Commander Collars
HASBRO REPLY:
Hi there - by now, you have seen our lineup. We will take our cues for new vehicles from both Clone Wars and the films; there are few vehicles we have not done from the films in 3-3/4" scale, but there are some we will be tackling. The great news for vehicle fans is that the Clone Wars vehicles and film vehicles are created with the same styling, designed to be seamless across both lines. In fact, the V-19 and Homing Spider Droid debuted at Toy fair were designed originally for the Legacy Collection before being brought into the Clone Wars subline to add vehicle support to the figures.
Question #3
Dear Hasbro,
Young Anakin Skywalker and Jar-Jar are well overdue for brand new sculpts, as is Padme Amidala, Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Trade Federation's Battle Droid unit. We've already seen the upcoming Evolutions Qui-Gon Jinn, which would make a fantastic repack in the basic line. Now, with 2009 being the tenth anniversary year of The Phantom Menace does Hasbro have any special plans to commemorate this event, such as a special TPM wave?
HASBRO REPLY:
We will have an EpI wave in the 2009 line, but details on which figures are included will not be revealed until closer to that wave's debut. We do agree that most all of the figures you mention could use a new figure in the next few years. Padme, at least, has a great new EpI version coming in the Evolutions pack devoted to her this Fall.
