Hasbro's latest round of answers to our questions are in...
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. For the "Vintage Style" figures...do you have any plans on making them with a POTF card? Perhaps even with a coin?
A. We don't have any plans to use POTF-style cardbacks for the Vintage line right now.
Q. Most collectors had a very hard time collecting the basic figure UGH with the silver foil card and figure stand. Will this be a program that will continue in the future? If so, will steps be taken to make it at least a bit easier for collectors to complete the set of figures?
A. If it continues, we will announce it at a later date.
Q. What is the status of the lines directed at young kids? It seems to be that the Galactic Heroes line is having great success, but what about other lines directed at young children such as Force Battlers and Choppers. If the lines will be discontinued is there something else in the works to replace them?
A. You're right, Pete. Galactic Heroes has been very successful, and these guys will definitely be continuing for the foreseeable future, with a combination of fan favorite characters and new sculpts in the mix. As far as the other lines, Force Battlers will last through this Fall...longer than we originally thought due to the kid demand for larger figures. Also, Customs (Choppers) was always planned as a 2006 line only. We'll have plenty of product announcements for the Fall and beyond at Comic-Con!
Check back next week and we'll post the next round of Questions (and answers) as soon as Hasbro offers them.
