The
next addition of Questions
& Answers from Hasbro is now live! Read on 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 session, so make sure they are good ones! Now,
on to this weeks Questions and Answers directly from Hasbro.
Q.
We were somewhat surprised to hear that there are more concept art figures on the
way in the 2009 Legacy Collection. The answers from the Q&A sessions seem
to indicate that there won't be any McQuarrie designs in the lot. That seems
to almost completely rule out much of the OT with the exception of artist Joe Johnston,
who ironically is represented with the new Space Trooper. But what about the
PT concept artists? Which artist's designs can we expect to see? Can
we expect to see some of the more iconic designs like the Sith Witch that was designed
for EPISODE I?
A.
We actually have to ask for clemency on our previous answer for the
concept figures, as there was a change....there will indeed be one
McQuarrie figure after all. In addition, there is one Johnston figure,
one Jun, and one Thompson.
Q.
Back in a May 2008 Q&A session with The Jawa it was mentioned that a VISIONARIES
comic 2-pack would be on the way in 2009. Can you confirm the figure lineup
for this pack? Will it feature the iconic final confrontation between Obi-Wan
and cyborg Darth Maul?
A.
We now have more information on the timing of this set. Due to a
crowded Fall 2009 comic pack schedule, this pack has now been slotted in
with the first wave of 2010 which should be on shelf approximately
January/February. Since it is still so far off, we don't want to confirm
the figures in the pack except to say that your guess on one of the
characters is incorrect.
Q. In
the most recent Q&A session, it was confirmed that there would be not just one,
but TWO waves worth of figures representing THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK in the
2009 Legacy Collection. We were pleasantly surprised to see the lineup for
the first EMPIRE wave. Can we expect a new Han Solo in carbonite or Snowspeeder
pilot Luke Skywalker to anchor the second TESB wave? While many collectors
enjoyed the 2006 offering of Han with the ROTJ melting carbonite block, there hasn't
been an EMPIRE Han in carbonite basic figure since the POTF2 days. Can we hope
for a new EMPIRE Han in carbonite soon?
A.
We can confirm that Luke - Snowpeeder Pilot is indeed one of the
figures. However, we do not have another Han in carbonite scheduled.
Check back in a few weeks and we'll post
the next round of Questions (and answers) as soon as Hasbro offers them.
