Two new foreign Toys R Us multipacks have arrived in France. It may be plausible that these will be arriving in the USA too, but since we no longer receive formal announcements of products and exclusives from Hasbro, we'll just have to wait and see.

(Interesting isn't it that Hasbro can break out a super-articulated mold when they need one, huh?)

Hello again.

While doing my usual Friday round I must say that the latest arrivals were very surprising for different reasons.

Jakks Pacific Battle Buddy FO Stormtrooper. "Look at the size of that thing" indeed. 48"/122cm tall.
6 POA, all in the arms and neck. Plays movie phrases whenever someone walks in front of it. Retail price: €129.90...

Second surprise was the TRU exclusive Epic Battles sets of 6 3.75" figures. One based on OT, one based on PT. All are recent 5 POA molds *except* Qui-Gon Jinn! For some reason they decided to reuse the VC75 SA figure without the Jedi cloak... I'm afraid their logic eludes me completely.

Anyway, that's it for the news from the Twilight Zone.

Take care!
