This week we inquire about a Go-Go Gadgets R2-D2, Banthas and Dewbacks, and the Max Rebo Band. Let's see what Hasbro is willing to tell us.
HASBRO: Ha! This is a good one. We actually hadn't considered this but it would make an interesting figure at some point. As for additonal electronics, we evaluate on a case by case basis as to what we can afford. A motor is a much more expensive component than a light/sound chip so we won't be doing something like this for a basic figure. Galactic Hunter: The rumors on the Internets are predicting that the Bantha will be re-released next year-ish. So while Hasbro is feeling beastly, what are the odds of getting a Dewback with some real-feel hide, or at least a removable saddle? (The Saga Collection's Sandtrooper would look awfully good on one, wouldn't he?) HASBRO: We agree that the Dewback should see a new sculpt at some point and he's on the shortlist of vehicles and creatures that we'd like to do. But, like so many cool things, there's no specific timetable set for an update.
HASBRO: At least one of those figures is slated for next year in the main assortment. The rest will have to bide their time patiently waiting for their turn on stage, confident in the knowledge that we hear the music, too. We hear the music… Note: Due to (America's) Thanksgiving next week, there will be no Q&A. That doesn't mean you can't ask questions, though! Your questions are wanted, needed, and loved here at Galactic Hunter. See our Hasbro Commlink forum for more!
