Hasbro Star Wars Q&A – July 2010 Answers
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

In honor of Bob Budiansky’s induction into the Transformers Hall of Fame at BotCon last week, we’re reposting one of the first interviews Bob ever conducted with the online fandom. This originally appeared in ASM on July 26, 2004. This interview was conducted by Matthew Karpowich and Andrew Sorohan. ASM: You started your comics career in the mid-70s with a background in engineering. Given that, who were your influences? Artistically? Writing-wise? Bob Budiansky:While I was in college in the early 70s, I was reintroduced to comics by a couple of friends. (I had stopped collecting comics years earlier.) So, at

You asked and Hasbro answered! Hit the jump to see the answers from Hasbro and Hunter PR! While Iron Man 2 had its share of awesome suits, there were plenty of scenes featuring characters not in armor. Will the Iron Man 2 line have non-armour figures? What is the status of the next batch of Mighty Muggs? These things are just too cool, and we want to see more! A major character in the Iron Man franchise was recast between movies 1 and 2, and there are rumors circulating that the Avengers movie may feature Iron Man and the Hulk

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
