BanthaSkull's 4th Hasbro Star Wars Q&A for 2009 is here!

[RoswellSun]

Hasbro's answers for the questions submitted on 03/20/09. Enjoy!

1. Will we see a version of the interior Hoth Base rebel soldiers as done by Kenner back in the day? The troops with the brown vests. Also, what of the Rebel troopers during the Ceremony at the End of "A New Hope". Will we see versions of these troopers in plastic? We have the Honor Guard troops from that scene but none of the Green uniformed troops with what looks like green baseball caps. - SW_REBEL76

Those are all great suggestions that are in our Parking Lot for longer-term possibilities. We certainly do enjoy our Rebel troops, as can be attested by the recent run of pilots and capped off by the upcoming Yavin battle pack with the flight crew member trooper. We hope that within a couple years we'll be able to get to one or both of these guys.

2. There is an Imperial trooper not seen in plastic (from the Shuttle scene w/Vader) in the ranks - wearing a dark blue jump suit and Death Star trooper helm - this be fun for troop building! Are you aware of this character and can you add him to your list if he is not already on it? - SW_REBEL76

We were not aware of this guy, but we'll take a closer look. Thanks for the suggestion.[Let this be known know from here forward, if this figure is made - it will be thanks to SW_REBEL76! Oh yeah, CT representing!]

3. Since you stated at Toy Fair that Ratts Tyrell will be replaced by Clegg Holdfast in the upcoming Phantom Menace Legacy Wave, would it be possible for us to get a good look at the Clegg figure? - nomadscout

You bet. See attached image. He will also come with his goggles and a blaster. We only had this pic to show of the figure. Enjoy!

Score on the image!

Pimping to start in three...two...one...

[Duke]

Very nice image score! Thats seems to be the only way to really get some good news nowadays is to ask for pics...

I don't even know what Imp thats referenced either...

Great job once again fellas!!

[RoswellSun]

I've asked SW_Rebel for a picture of this imperial guy. I hope he takes a break from complaining about Hasbro and submits one. Yeah, you heard me Rebel!

[Duke]

Rebel? Complain?.........Naahhhhh!!!

[Toonimator]

Eww... now I'm kinda hoping they're NOT in a hurry to make Bomo Greenbark from REPUBLIC/DARK TIMES. Of course, they also have a tradition of sculpting to the source material (not always successfully, see Baron Fel...) so maybe Bomo will properly be stockier with a much more dinosaur-ish head rather than this weird cartoony one.

Great job on pullin the photo from Hasbro though!

Re: the blue Imps, they aren't wearing Death Star Trooper helmets, so hopefully Hasbro will pay closer attention than just dying a Rebel Flight Crew blue and throw a DST helmet on it.

...and now that this site's not blocked at work anymore maybe I can finally check it out more in my "let my subconscious figure out work probs while I mindlessly skim the boards" moments.

Provided I stay outta the threads with photos of boobs & dicks. You filthy animals.

[DarthDre758]

Then you may wanna keep away from Dan, Toon.

[Darth Zirock]

There's no keeping away from me. It's like trying to avoid your own bellybutton: it's still there, no matter how many rolls of fat it's under!

Nice score on the Clegg Holdfast pic, really.

[DarthFagan]

Nice work guys! I am very surprised that we actually got answers about specific figures. Hasbro doesn't usually like to answer these types.

Bam we got a photo of the new podracer too!
