Hasbro's Questions & Answers #6

Posted by Chuck | July 26, 2006 at 02:43 PM ET

Hasbro has the answers to round 6 of our questions...     Don't forget, you can submit questions in our forums and we'll try to get as many as possible submitted to Hasbro. We can send only three questions per week, so make sure they are good ones! Now, on to this weeks Questions and Answers directly from Hasbro.


Q. Does every character cost the same amount of money to produce (i.e. from concept to finish) or do some figures have some features “cut out” in order to invest money in other figures?

A. Yes, balancing a wave or a year to hit our goals is something we're always doing.  Articulation, accessories, deco, and packaging all are taken into consideration.  Sometimes one character may not have as many accessories to produce, say, large accessory for another.  Same with articulation.  Deco is changed around late in the game when we have a better read on actual costing based on factory quotes.  Sometimes we can add some back in, sometimes we might trim some out.

Q. Do you sometimes use head sculpts of figures that didn't turn out so well as 'generic' heads for soldiers? Some of the soldier heads look like they could've been Luke, Han, etc. heads that did not work out as planned.

A. No, we haven't done that.  The "generic" soldier heads are based on scrap (film) reference or, occasionally, real 3-D reference (i.e. people our sculptors work with).  

Q. How much will the SDCC Exclusive 501st Stormtrooper cost and what will be the limit on the number you can purchase?

A. $14.99, and the limit is 5 per person.  Figures will also be available on-line during and after the show.


Check back next week and we'll post the next round of Questions (and answers) as soon as Hasbro offers them.
