We
had a nice surprise in our mailbox this evening, with an early edition of our
Hasbro
Q&A! Check out our latest session, with answers about this years UGH figures,
the mail-away coin set, and more!
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.
Can you list the gold-coin figures that will be available in this
yearsUGH? Will there be any other UGH toys this year, besides the gold coin
figures and vintages style figures?
A. Sure. There will be four ratios, each with three of the gold foil
logo/coin UGH variants. 87500000H will have Galactic Marine, R2-D2, and
Mace Windu. 000J will have McQaurrie Stormtrooper, Han Solo, and Luke
(ceremony). 000K will have McQuarrie Boba Fett, Darth Vader and Biggs
(X-Wing). 000U will have McQuarrie Chewbacca, Animated Boba Fett, and
Airborne Trooper. It should be noted that the Animated Boba Fet will be
in each of the ratios as a regular figure in addition to the 000U ratio.
Basically, the UGH series will be waved in with almost the entire Wave 4
run, but then we will be chasing higher-demand figures (like the Animated
Boba Fett and McQuarrie Vader) in subsequent waves throughout the year.
There will be no other UGH-branded product other than Vintage this year.
Q. Now that the vintage
style figures are on the shelves, when can we expect
shipments to begin for the redemption coin set? The coin sets are available
at Disney Star Wars weekends, so I assume they are ready to go.
A. The coin sets are ready to go and will begin shipping out this week.
Q. Your Vader & Optimus
Prime voice-changing helmets are cool. Will the
anticipated Clone Wars Animated see a Clone Trooper voice-changer helmet?
One can just imagine the possibilities, repaints. Like another Target
exclusive of the Night-Ops deco. Or maybe an exclusive repaint helmet of
the red shock troopers to match Target's trademark red color (Ha)! Maybe
Walmart can sell a blue 501 legion (Ha, again)!!! Seriously, there are lots
of possibilities. Given egions of clone fans, and Clone Wars Animated
coming, a whole new collecting frenzy to get various versions could do us
good. I'd like my wall to be filled with such helmets. Maybe even make
an
Ewok drum-set. Future add-on's (like a visor) can make a Commander Cody,
Cmdr. Bacara, etc. Their different voices can also echo across different
versions / repainted helmets (all the while milking the same mold).
A. Very cool ideas if and when we ever decide to do a Clone helmet. As
for what specific role play opportunities will exist for Clone Wars, stay
tuned.
Check back in a few weeks and we'll post
the next round of Questions (and answers) as soon as Hasbro offers them.
