It's
time for a Clone Wars movie premiere edition of Hasbro's Questions
and Answers! Click
here for all the latest...
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. In
previous Q&A sessions we saw confirmation that an Obi-Wan
Kenobi Evolutions 3-pack had been in development, but the set
was split up and the Obi-Wan figures were to be divided out
into the Basic Figure line. We saw the EPISODE 4 version
in the San Diego Comic Con presentation, and would appreciate
any further updates or imagery on that figure. But what
can you tell us about the other two Obi-Wans from that Evoltions
set? When might we expect them, and is a sneak peek a
possibility?
A. They are both slotted into the 2009 lineup as "anchor"
figures for key waves. Sorry, no images are available right
now.
Q. The Millenium Falcon passengers
Battle Pack looks like a great way for both kids and collectors
to enjoy the new BMF Millenium Falcon. The addition of
the oxygen masks, blast shield helmet and cargo containers is
icing on the cake. But what about some of the other major
players in the Millenium Falcon? Some obvious characters
come to mind that would go great with our new Falcons, such
as a Bespin Han Solo, Princess Leia in Hoth gear, and Nien Nunb.
Is there any chance that we'll see updated versions of any of
these three characters in the near future by way of the Basic
Figure line?
A. It's a good bet
that all of these guys will be getting updated figures within
the next couple of years.
Q.
We asked in a previous Q&A session about the Clone Wars
era Y-Wing, and Hasbro's response seems to have been pretty
positive. Since that session, the DK reference book STAR
WARS: THE CLONE WARS - THE VISUAL GUIDE has been released and
shows Anakin and Ahsoka in some intense action in a Y-Wing.
Does this give the Clone Wars Y-Wing a better shot at being
in next year's vehicle lineup? And if it comes to pass,
how about a functional droid socket?
A. It does give it a better shot at getting made eventually.
No word right now on timing. As far as a droid slot that would
be a great idea, and a mandatory feature if such a vehicle did
eventually happen.
Check back in a few weeks and we'll post
the next round of Questions (and answers) as soon as Hasbro offers them.
