V. O. T. C. Individually the four letters have no power at all, but when arranged in this specific order, those four little letters have the power to make grown men weep. For wave two of the
VOTC line, expect to be treated to the best sculpt and articulation your money can buy. This year Hasbro is offering us five new figures:
STAR WARS We will be seeing three new Super Articulated figures on
Star Wars cards. Expect to see
Luke Skywalker (X-Wing Pilot) to come with a removable helmet and the
Sand People figure to sport stylish soft goods robes.
Greedo will feature all the bells and whistles you’d expect on a
VOTC figure, but don’t expect anything extra cool.
Return Of The Jedi While it is a bit of an assumption, it would be worth counting on the
Han Solo (In Trench Coat) figure to include a soft goods trench coat. The
Biker Scout is simply cool enough in its own right, so who could ask for anything more that the Super Articulated treatment. Wanting more would be like looking a gift horse in the mouth.
What? No The Empire Strikes Back figures???At this point there is no word on any
TESB or
POTF carded figures in the line, but that doesn’t mean we won’t see them later on. We will be seeing our first send away figure though. Remember the
George Lucas figure mentioned previously? Word on the street is it could be offered as a mail in figure through the
VOTC line. It would require five
VOTCproof of purchases, and we might find the offer printed or stickered on the cards. Sadly, we also hear that the Lucas figure will once again be playing 501st and forgoing his standard flannel armour in favour of Stormtrooper armour. Maybe if we pretend we didn't hear that it'll go away...
