In this Q&A session we find out about a new-to-you figure working his way through the pipeline; we set our scanners to locate some new droids; and one reader tries to take Hasbro to task to get info about "new" vehicles from the Holy Original Trilogy.
Galactic Hunter: Is there any chance of a retooled or kitbashed Cade Skywalker without the jacket and with sleeveless arms (similar to the first Quinlon Vos' arms)? We see him like this more in the comic than with his jacket on. And on the subject of Cade Skywalker, is there a possibility of someday getting a version in Sith Armor for when he was being mentored by Darth Krayt? —— Shabby Blue (Fashionista)
HASBRO: As to a sleeveless version, yes there is one in the works. The Sith Armor version is interesting but short-lived in the comic relative to other characters from Legacy that we are looking at. It's unlikely we'll get to this version.
[Editor's Note: Praise-be to Wookieepedia for the imagery and for just being generally awesome — despite their reluctance to accept Stormy Sevenspire as a legitimate part of the Star Wars Universe. Don't everyone write letters all at once. No, really...]
Galactic Hunter: Are we going to get a version of the Tactical Droid seen in the new Clone Wars cartoons, such as TX-20 or TA-175. Several have appeared in episodes with different paint jobs but they all have the same body design. It would be a great candidate for multiple releases with the different paint jobs. —— Shabby Blue (Droid Salesbot)
HASBRO: Yes, we will be getting the Tactical Droid out there sometime within the next 12 months.
and finally...
Galactic Hunter: Hasbro, in the Q&A from 05/08/09 it was stated that there are new 'tools' (new models) coming out this fall for vintage vehicles that would make the old tools obsolete. It's already assumed that one is the AT-ST (from Endor), and we know two vehicles from Hoth are up for their makeovers. So the question is, does the Hoth vehicle walk or fly? —— JediMC6 (He and his wife...)
[Editor's Note: That's the cleaned up and polite version for print. He also declares: "Don't tell us to [wait until] Comic-Con because I live in PA, and I sure can't get to San Dawg for the convention. You let the cat outta the bag on your own — time to take one on the chin for collectors — they ain't no kid driven toy if it's vintage!!!" That last part implies that Saga is considered the adult/collector line.]
HASBRO: You're digging in the wrong spot. Answers will be revealed soon, at Comic Con, and as always our collector panel presentation will be picked up and run by all major websites as well as starwars.com, so fans everywhere can get the same information at nearly the same time (not to mention pictures galore from the show floor).
[Editor's Note: Is digging a clue? Oh, and, the answer seems to be "Wait until Comic Con" after all.]
