Hasbro's Questions & Answers #20

Q. The Titanium die cast figures were very prominent at this year's San Diego Comic Con yet only 4 from the entire line have really shown up en masse at retail while a few others seem to have made it in limited quantities. Is this an indication for how this line is performing? Can we expect to see the figures shown at SDCC to make their way to retail or will the line be scaled back?

A. More are on the way! Titanium figures have had a very tricky production process with some delays due to various issues.

Q. How many waves/figures will we see in the Saga Legends line?

A. Saga Legends will have four waves, with the Fans' Choice coming in the last two. However, there will be multiple remixes of these waves just like the regular basic figure line.

Q. With non-movie stories becoming the future of Star Wars it seems like you are (will be) really jumping into tying in the comics and the future TV series into the toy line. The Legacy of the Force novel series is right in the thick of things now. Do you have plans in offering characters from this series or other novels into the line?

A. First, I would rather say that we are embracing the EU storytelling right alongside of (and not replacing) the movies. The movies are the foundation and will remain that way for a good long time. We know the novels are looming out there, but it's tough to make the direct connection to figures since they are not an inherently visual media. We will have to see how these figures do on future fans' choice polls, and if the strength of the characters continues to resonate, we'll consider them.

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