Hasbro's Questions & Answers #60

Posted by Chuck | September 05, 2008 at 05:43 PM ET

    Hasbro has the latest answers to our recent round of 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. Just when we thought we had seen every variety of Clone Trooper under the sun, something new comes along.  Witness the theatrical release of THE CLONE WARS this past weekend, and we saw a couple of new incarnations for the clones of Jango Fett.  The most notable new versions being the Clone Scouts from Teth, and the Clone Bridge Officers from the Republic Star Destroyer.  Are these clones on the radar screen?  And are they more likely in the animated style or a movie realistic rendition?

A. There is a good chance that we will see one or both of these clones within the next year or two, especially if they appear in multiple episodes.  As with all of the figures seen on-screen in Clone Wars, they will be released in animated styling.  We have no designs on bringing the animated figures into the "realistic" line or vice-versa.

Q. After having searched through the archives a bit, it's become apparent that there has not been an EPISODE I Anakin Skywalker figure in the Basic Figure line since 2001.  There seem to be indications of an EPISODE I wave on the horizon, but would a TPM Anakin Skywalker be in the mix?  And could we expect him as the slave, the pod racer, or the Jedi padawan should he be in a TPM wave?


A. True that there have been no EpI Anakin releases in quite some time.  However, we don't have a new one lined up for the EpI wave next year.  It is an interesting one to take a look at for down the road if we feel that we can offer a new take on little Annie.

Q. The new Snowspeeder pilot figures are quite cool.  When might we be able to expect a new Snowspeeder vehicles for these guys?  The rebel Snowspeeder seems long overdue for an update like the X-Wing and TIE Fighter have been treated to.  Can our new Rogue Squadron rebel pilots expect some new rides before long?  And if so, can we expect such a Snowspeeder to be offered at the $20 vehicle price point?

A. We are working on a new Snowspeeder, but it's taking longer than we hoped to fit it into the line.  It would not be in 2009 in any case, and we agree with you that it would be a good basic vehicle for the $19.99 lineup if we can get the beastie to cost out.


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