Star Wars: Rebels - A Recapped Look At The Hasbro Toy Line

Posted by Paul | April 30, 2015 at 09:43 PM ET

The poor Star Wars: Rebels toy line! It all started with that outlandish claim that JTA posted as a rumor report. Rebels figures, aside from a few initial batches, were delayed until February 2015 the earliest. It was a post that panicked the collecting community for no reason. Oh wait. That actually DID transpire in the USA. Eventually the products got out, but some areas got a ton of product, some never received a single piece to this day. Then there was the pricing. One figure for $9.99, or two figures for $9.99: your pick! And we haven't even mentioned the controversial five points of articulation that has just about split the community in half (that's a gift, contrarians). No matter your position, there is no denying that collectors were curious about this line because it certainly wasn't the kids and gift-giving parents buying these toys. (Hopefully you can sense we're just being playfully sarcastic here.) In truth, the Rebels line brought forth some pretty cool figures. Yes, it was far from perfect and collectors are still waiting for super-articulated versions of these characters, but it's hard not to admit that there were some gems. Now that the line has been ~~cancelled~~ indefinitely postponed/sold out/never coming to retail again in the Rebels line look and that Hasbro is clearancing out their remaining stock on eBay, we thought it would be a great time to revisit what basic figures, two-packs and vehicles made up the line. Click through to reminisce with us. Hopefully it was a good experience for you and your family at least. We probably can expect to see most of these figures (and all new ones) in the Fall 2015/TFA line look coming this September!
