Hasbro delivered a few answers to our Q&A questions that were submitted last week. If you have future questions, please feel free to post them in our Hasbro Commlink forum. We will do our best to submit your questions directly to the all-knowing Potato Head.
GH: Collectors have been very enthusiastic about the Battle Pack Assortment. Would Hasbro consider including
canceled figures like the Trophy Edition Obi-Wan Kenobi and Trophy Edition OOM-9, or hard-to-find figures like Sio Bibble, TC-14, and the Comm-Tech Princess Leia (Hood Up) figures in these assortments?
HASBRO: Each Battle Pack tells a story. We approach each one individually, taking a close look at which characters make the most sense for the scenario we're looking to recreate. If any of these characters would fit into a future scene we want to do, we'd consider them.
GH: With the pressure of the 'movie years' now past us, are we more or less likely to see Hasbro produce any playsets for the Star Wars action figure line?
HASBRO: The demand for playsets just hasn't been there. Instead we've put our focus behind vehicles. Vehicles and figures are more popular play patterns for the kid audience than playsets.
GH: With the upcoming television series, will we see Hasbro and its retail partners rolling out a vast line of toys similar to the movie launches, or will the scope of the line be more modest?
HASBRO: With the television series slated for 2008, it's too far off to speak to with any accuracy. You'll just have to stay tuned!
