You asked and Hasbro answered! Before we get into the questions, I want to share two things with you. First, the answer to our second question contains SPOILERS for a recent episode of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”. You’ve been warned. Second, Hasbro Star Wars team member Darryl DePriest wanted to share some words with our readers: It’s a very exciting time for Star Wars as the extraordinary Target exclusive Vintage 9-pack will be going on sale soon (Nov. 28th). There are two important things to note with this set. First, this set will be more limited than some of

Hasbro Star Wars Q&A – October 2010 Answers
You asked and Hasbro answered! Hit the jump to see the answers from Hasbro and Hunter PR! What prompted the decision to make the upcoming ROTJ R2-D2 smaller than the current molds? I’ve always noticed that the modern R2-D2 figures were a little larger than realistic scale should have them at, but this honestly never bothered me enough to want a “proper to scale” version, even back when it was rare to get a non-R2-D2 Astromech figure. (The difference wasn’t as bad as it used to be with Leia compared to Chewie, for example.) But now we’ve got nearly 40

You asked and Hasbro answered! Hit the jump to see the answers from Hasbro and Hunter PR! The Sun Fac figure has given us some terrific Geonosian Warrior redecoes… but they’re all based on a character with a very distinctive one-eyed head sculpt, giving army-builders a legion of squinting Geonosians. Is there any chance of a retooling to give the head a second eye the next time it’s used? In the same 2-pack as the aforementioned Geonosian, we got a Kit Fisto based on his iconic pose in the arena…but he’s still not smiling! How did he end up with

You asked and Hasbro answered! Hit the jump to see the answers from Hasbro and Hunter PR! The new roleplay Boba Fett helmet is great! It’s sure to be a hit with kids and fans of the bounty hunter. It does seem odd that this would be the next in line when the previous helmets have been kid-centric Clone Wars helmets. Was this done for the 30th anniversary of “The Empire Strikes Back” or is there something you know about season 3 of “The Clone Wars” that you aren’t telling us? We heard something in a previous Q&A about some

You asked and Hasbro answered! Hit the jump to see the answers from Hasbro and Hunter PR! Was the huge empty space inside the Clone Wars Y-Wing meant to be used as figure and/or accessory storage, and the bar it has in the middle meant to evoke a carry handle? It looks like it was meant to transport characters in both play and real life. One of our readers recently picked up the old Power of the Force 2 Death Star mini-playsets and found himself very amused by the pretty blatantly tacked-on missile launchers and the 12-inch-scale Rebel Trooper blaster
