Hasbro Q&A

[Rune Haako]

Do you have any plans to release the Separatist Boarding Craft aka Pod Hunter in the Clone Wars 3D vehicle  line?

[Tamer]

I would like to know if there are any OTC ships (especially TESB)  planned for Legacy this coming year?

Dear Hasbro,
I'm wondering if there will be any kind of 'premium format figures' coming out in 2009. What I mean here is a line, similar to the vintage collection of a few years ago, made up of figures where you pull out all the stops (super articulation, the best sculpts, accessories that you may not be able to include at the basic figure price point).
If not this year, could you see this kind of line possibly becoming a reality at some point in the future?

Dear Hasbro,
Are there any 2-1B medical droids slotted into the build a droid lineup? Several variations could be made such as a new version of the Empire Strikes Back droid, a repaint in the Droids animated series color scheme (see below), and a holographic version like the one in the Clone Wars movie.

[Tamer]

I would love to know if there are any McQaurrie concept vehicles coming? Please, please make the walker first if you ever do one!

I have a question why any lack of pictures from the TESB seeing it is supposed to be out next month or the month after, we usually have pictures before now, my concern is its going to be like last year where we really didnt get that much Star Wars stuff and we had a wave pushed back now you have already said that a wave is pushed back into 2010, so in a nutshell the question I am asking is 2 fold, is everything on schedule and why no pictures of anything other than ANH wave.

they r probably waiting for toyfair, which is next month(feb 15-18), and then we will see pretty much everything that is coming out for the next 6 months or so.

Yeah but Caedus by now in other years we would have seen the second by now, and the same thing happened last year.

Seeing that we now have pictures of the upcoming TESB wave, I was wondering about the selection of the Emperor for this wave? I was also wondering if there are any future plans to do a super articulated removable helmet AT-AT driver? I would love to see that figure.

I am also wondering about TESB vehicle offering froms Hasbro this upcoming year as well.

  Nice questions there, Tamer! I too, want to know this.

Dear Hasbro;
  I seen in the preview for next week's episode of the Clone Wars, several shots of  snowtrooperish looking AOTC era clone armor. I was wondering if you planned on releasing a fig of this design in the Clone Wars or Legacy lines?
  I also seen a shot of a Barc-type speeder with a glass cockpit and was wondering the same of it.

[Tamer]

From what I understand Hasbro has a new question schedule once again. So please keep asking your questions and we will get em on!

Here's the latest from Hasbro...

1. Do you have any plans to release the Separatist Boarding Craft aka Pod Hunter in the Clone Wars 3D vehicle  line?

No plans for that one right now.


2. I would like to know if there are any OTC ships (especially TESB) planned for Legacy this coming year?

There are no new brand-new OTC ships scheduled for '09, but there are going to be some dynamite exclusive versions of classic vehicles if the schedules hold.  We'll have more information on those at Comic Con.


3. Do you have any plans to release the Firefighter Battle Droid from the Destroy Malevolence episode of Clone Wars in the Clone Wars  3D line?

Yes indeed he will be coming, but likely not before the end of this year.
