So here's a bunch of stuff I've come up with thus far. Lots of cool EU stuff seems to be in the works, from Jacen and Jaina Solo, to a new Kyle Katarn, a Yuuzhan Vong Warrior plus art for a bunch of up-coming figures.

K'Kruhk is now rumored(apparently mentioned in a Hasbro Q & A) for later this year. No word if he's gonna be a single card or a comics pack.

Sooooo getting Kyle Katarn. I loved the Jedi Knight series video games....though he should have a green lightsaber since that his his "Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II" attire where he used a green lightsaber as his first. It wasn't untill "Jedi Knight II" when he returned to the Yavin Jedi Academy temple to retrieve his lightsaber did he suddenly have a blue blade....never was explained but that was the only code I used in the game was to chance his lightsaber colour in the game :P

The figure itself is based off a Darkhorse Comic S tar Wars Tales #6, might explain the saber color.:) He's coming in a two pack with the Vong warrior I think.

Several new droids are rumored lately as well, including HK-47 from KotoR and a YVH-1 (Yuuzhan Vong Hunter) from the New Jedi Order Books.

Apparently they are going to be a part of the new droid builders series in some way, shape or form.......I'd hate to have to buy five or six figures I don't want just to get HK-47....Sneaky LFL/Hasbro:(

Hopefully he'll be single carded.:)

A new assortment of Original Trilogy Mighty Muggs appears to be on the horizon. The Biker Scout Trooper has been officially announced with the others to soon follow.

Looks like the CWA wave numbers need some adjustment as they've started with Goldie's wave as wave 1. Lottsa cool stuff on the way.

Oh snap! HK-47...so mine, hopefully he'll be easier to get he Darth Revan and Malak who I'm still missing.

Robimus
02-17-2009, 01:13 AM
HK-47 is in the build a droid line, so expect to have to slap down 90$ to get all his parts.:p

Robimus
02-27-2009, 10:20 PM
One tidbit I came across today was some intereting mold news about the upcoming Captain Needa figure.

It's a super articuate figure which Hasbro has produced with the ability to attach different rank bars to in production.

It will likely serve as a prototype for many new Imperial figures with simply different ranks and heads.:)

Robimus

New image of CWA Anakin's Delta Jedi Starfighter. Looks cool.

Wow they really are milking the Jedi starfighter popularity. I don't remember my X-wing ever getting this much figurage

lars573
03-06-2009, 02:40 PM
Well you gotta remember that all the episode II gear was used for the first half of the clone wars. So everything old is new again. And Hasbro can do some remolding/new molding.

Look at it this way. If they ever do an EU animated series X-wings and A-wings molds would get flogged an ass-load of times.

Robimus
03-06-2009, 02:55 PM
That CWA Animated Mold actually looks like a new mold for the Delta Fighter to me. Droid socket is in a different location.

The article I read also states that it has "break away action", whatever that is.:)

Robimus
04-01-2009, 02:18 AM
Came across a rumor tonight about two Two Packs of Figures based off of the CWA episode "Rookies".

One would feature Cody and Echo. Another would feature Rex and another clone. Sounds plausable to me.:)

Also a new AT-ST was rumored as well. We'll see.

lars573
04-01-2009, 10:47 AM
So they are doing other two-packs from the Obi-Wan/battle droid and Cody/battle droid ones?

My (future) brother-in-law might like and AT-ST. Big enough to be impressive, small enough to not induce money rage from my sister. Might even make a nice wedding present. :D Ofcourse my sister and mom might murder me then.

The Commando Droids sounds awesome.:)

I guess they go by total weight of plastic in the Battle Packs box and not how many figures eh?

04-05-2009, 10:26 AM

Yeah but the rumour has the supposed new one listed as taller and able to hold 2 figures with possibly firing weapons.

Oh, and a $50 price tag.

GMfan101

Uh...

This rumoured toy would only be the third incarnation of this vehicle. They have released this many times over the years, but this would be like the BMF. A completely new mold, with somewhat closer dimensions to the vehicle it is based on.

Robimus
04-05-2009, 07:20 PM
The AT-ST's have been few and far between.

Robimus
04-05-2009, 07:36 PM

This from a guy with 77 Optimus Primes:p:D

But seriously, this is I think the fourth rendition of this toy counting the 1983 version. We had a 1996 Version which is actually a little rare and then the pictured version from a couple years back.

This version will hold 2 pilots though so its likely a much larger scale than what has come before...And will likely carry I higher price tag as well.:)

lars573
04-06-2009, 01:57 AM
I had the 1983 version once upon a time. Till it got smashed. :o

Robimus
04-10-2009, 01:04 PM
So more new rumors for the comic two packs: :)

Nohgri Warrior & Ralrra(Heir to the Empire)

Camie & Fixer(Empire, via the New Hope Deleted scenes:p)

Kashyyyk Wookie Trooper Two pack.

I'd love the Heir pack, I hope this is true:)

Robimus
04-16-2009, 02:46 AM
I went through a plethora of Hasbro Q&A's tonight and here's what jumped out at me.

1. Hasbro suggests that we will eventually see figures of Sifo-Dyas, Darth Plagueis, Young Count Dooku, The Ghost of Luke Skywalker.

2. There will soon be a new Agen Kolar

3. Ahsoka will get a repainted Jedi Starfighter soon

4. Lead time on figure production is 15-18 months, so don't expect any EU figure packs based on Invasion for over a year.

5. There will never be figures of Senator E.T., the Tonnika Sisters or figures based on the Holiday Special. Of course never is a long time......:p

Robimus
04-17-2009, 01:30 AM
There's a Cin Drallig rumor starting to circulate as well as rumors of a new Ponda Baba.

Hasbro, through the most recent Q & A sessions have revealed a couple interesting tidbits amongst a sea of kinda lame questions.......

The Ulic Qel Droma/Exar Kun Comic Two Pack is slated to arrive this fall.

There will be a Galactic Heores Medal Ceremony set based on A New Hope later this year.

And No Boba Fett Voice Changer Helmet:mad:

New Clone Wars Figures(probably):

Clone Commander Thire
AAT Driver Battle Droid
Matchstick
Padme Amidala
Clone Tank Driver.

lars573
05-26-2009, 01:53 PM
Exar Kum? Bought! Clone Tank Driver too.

06-08-2009, 04:42 PM
The tank droid looks especially nice. I imagine the finished product will be patterned after it's on screen appearance in the Kashyyyk battle. If so, it's a guaranteed purchase.

The tri-droid I'm on the fence about. Again, in on screen movie colours, I wouldn't hesitate to snatch one up. But in this blue and white colour scheme, that they seem determined to ruin every seperatist vehicle with, I'm not so sure.

I realise that the blue markings come from the Coruscant space battle, but there's no need to plaster them on everything. It doesn't look good.

As it is, I may grab one if I don't here about a repaint down the line. Hopefully it won't have the same feet issues that the Octuptarra droid did.

oh, and starfighters and the astro droids for those figures

Why? Why? Why? :(

$100 for an HK-47...........

canprime
06-24-2009, 10:51 AM
I wouldn't worry too much. This is SW after all. There will be thousands of them online and they won't be that expensive.

Also, eventually Hasbro will release the figure on it's own down the road.

Robimus
06-28-2009, 12:03 AM
Yeah, and next you'll tell me that we'll see a Gilad Pellaeon figure some day as well......;)

I was working hard to try and justify picking up all the Build-a-droids for Hk-47 but it just didn't work. At best I will be able to build half of him :( Best case scenario is they overstock and hell of those and they go on discount somewhere, which is shaky at best.

A few items of interest from the Hasbro Q & A's

Figures are planned for Deej, Kaink and Chukha Trok! (Ewok Movies Rule!)

Hasbro Reps have been "pulling back" the peg warmers like Yarna, the Organa's and the Cantina Patrons in the USA

Low producion numbers exist on the HK-47 wave....WTF?

New Wookiee planned for 2011.......:confused:

Hasbro has hopes that eventually Blue Max from the Han Solo Adventures(circa 1978) will eventually get a figure in the BAD assotments. Awesome! Bullox and Blue Max would rock!

Robimus

Clone Trooper Pilot

Robimus
05-13-2010, 10:27 AM
Two really jump out at me.

Embo!

and

Quinlan Vos?

Does this mean that Master Vos is destined to appear on the series?

A very interesting list, if its accurate.

Prowl_2009
05-13-2010, 11:13 AM
So hoping for the Embo figure first and foremost! :D If there was one new Clone Wars character that needed to have a figure made, it was this bad-ass bounty hunter! :cool:

I am also really hoping that Master Vos shows up at some point during the Clone Wars!
