In a disappointing move, Hasbro nixes the idea of bringing a The Clone Wars inspired version of Nikto to the upcoming Jabba The Hutt Battle Pack. The Battle Pack now will only include Jabba, hookah pipe with base, and protocol droid. Click thumbnail below for a large image of the contents of this Battle Pack. Please note that the image has been updated from the shots we brought you from Toy Fair. Click here to read the release from Hasbro. Here is hoping that the Nikto figure gets released soon in some other capacity!
From the horse's mouth:
Hello there,
A question has arisen that we would like to address with all of our Star
Wars Q&A participants. Some have asked whether the Clone Wars Jabba The Hutt Battle
Pack will come with the Weequay figure, as is shown in one of the images that
was included on the digital press kit distributed during Hasbro’s Toy Fair
2009 Collector-Fan Media Day. In answer to that question, no, the Weequay figure
will not be included in the pack. For your reference, I’ve attached an
updated image that correctly represents the Clone Wars Jabba The Hutt Battle
Pack.
Our apologies for any confusion the incorrect image may have caused.
Thanks!
Marc
