Don't forget, you can submit questions in our forums and we'll try to get as many as possible submitted to Hasbro. We can send only three questions per week, so make sure they are good ones! Now, on to this weeks Questions and Answers directly from Hasbro.
Q.
There has been a large number of Biggs (Tosche Station) figures that have a
strange stain on the back and shoulders (mine included) that appears to be from the
cape. Is this a widespread problem? Is this warrented enough to have the figure replaced?
A. We have not seen or heard about this issue, and sorry to hear of it. We
will probably not be re-releasing this figure, but if we do we will look
into it. As this is a mainline figure, if you decide you want to try
and
upgrade, replacements should be available through Hasbro Consumer Affairs
at hasbro.com.
Q. Can we ever anticipate
in the Comic Packs the making of the cult-favorite Tyvokka figure in the foreseeable
future? Maybe he can pair-up with an existing Plo Koon or a young Dooku repainted
in black hair-do? If not Comic Packs, has Hasbro ever considered a
store-exclusive re-release of the JEDI COUNCIL SCENE with Tyvokka and other past & present
members, maybe a comic to top it off? Tyvokka is so unique and so very popular. A
web-search attest to the truth of this cult-favorite among fans, customizers, and
auctioners making and selling everything Tyvokka (from custom figures to beautifully
sculpted wooden lightsabers). What do you say?
A. We don't have any plans right now, but the comic packs would be a natural
place for Tyvokka. He is on the list for fuiture considerations, but with
all of the great choices we have, it's not sure we'll get to him any time
soon. He certainly is a great character....so hopefulyl we will see hime
one day.
Q. Since the action figures
have blended into one mega line encompasing the entire saga, including EU, will that
trend continue in the future with the release of the Clone Wars
cartoon figures, being mixed in with everything else? Or, will we see the Clone
Wars offered in a separate side line like we did with the past Clone Wars line?
A. Clone Wars is planned to be a separate line right now, and at least as
basic figures go, will be side-by-side with the Saga figures at retail
much like 30th and Saga Legends co-exist now.
Check back in a few weeks and we'll post the next round of Questions (and answers) as soon as Hasbro offers them.
