Hasbro Q&A V.13 - Answers
9/29/2006 12:08:26 PM | Reported by Adam_May

It's Friday, which means that we're all geared up for a new Hasbro Q&A session. What toy did they most regret? What's the deal with Battle Packs packaging? How fast will the dreaded Wal*Mart Wave sell out? And (finally) just how big is Titanium Grievous? Find out the answers nowish.

Galactic Hunter: Is there any toy in the 3¾" line, that you regret making or releasing? My thoughts go to the Cruise Missle Trooper. I know Kenner was responsible for that, but what would you say is the most regrettable toy in the line? (From forum member MikeCT2000)

(Editor's Note: Full disclosure — I like the Cruise Missile Trooper.)

HASBRO: There are many that make us wince, but I think you hit on one of them.  The Cruise-Missile Trooper is neither a figure nor a vehicle, and that certainly was dissapointing.  How do you display it?  I would also say that the bulkiness of many of the early POTF2 figures is something we could take back if we could.  As for modern figures, there are a couple that we wish we could have back again to make tweaks, but overall we're very happy with the way the factories are executing the product we turn over.

Galactic Hunter: There were some mixed signals at Comic-Con on this one. Will 2007 3¾" Battle Packs come in the new concave packaging similar to the upcoming Galactic Heroes Cinema Scenes Assortment?

HASBRO: We never indicated that 3¾" Battle Packs would change format.  They will follow the same format from last year (that has continued this year with some exclusives like Mace Windu's Squadron, Defense of the Galactic Senate, etc).

Galactic Hunter: Is the Wal*Mart exclusive wave from The Saga Collection going to come and go as quickly as the Separation of the Twins sets did? Is there a possibility of this wave being offered elsewhere once Wal*Mart is finished with it?

HASBRO: The seasonal timing more than anything played a big role in helping clear out the Separation of the Twins so quickly.  Since these will be on shelves post-Holiday (latest date is 2/1 on shelf) the guess is that collectors will be able to find them without trouble. Hopefully.

Galactic Hunter:  ...and I've been reminded by the forum-dwellers that no one ever got back to us about whether or not the Titanium General Grievous is properly scaled (i.e. taller) than basic figures?

HASBRO: The Titanium Series General Grievous is roughly the same size as the 3¾" General Grievous.
