First things first...here's the official announcement:
1:15-2:00
Hasbro: Star Wars and Indiana Jones— Derryl DePriest and Justin Kreter (Hasbro marketing), are joined by Brian Parrish, Mark Boudreaux, Dwight Stall, and Brian Wilk (Hasbro design) to talk about what the Hasbro design and marketing teams have in store for the remainder of 2008 in the
Star Wars and
Indiana Jones lines. Plus a special sneak peek into some 2009 secrets and a Q&A session! Room 7AB
Here we go! We're going fast and furious, and there's going to be a lot of info...so try to keep up!
The Clone WarsShowing off wave 1...nope, skip that....let's look at wave 2...nope, scratch that....wave 3! The figures are in the new style, but the articulation is collector-focused.
Vehicles use the same models for both TCW and TLC lines....no design changes.
They include V-19 Torrent Fighter, Spider Droid, AAT, Jedi Starfighter (NEW version!), and the HUGE AT-TE (with exclusive clone)!!
The Legacy CollectionSomething called the BMF....you may have heard about this one...this ship was designed by Mark Boudreaux, who designed the original Kenner version as his first project when he joined. He has now gone back and added all of the features he always wanted to see.
Mark explains all the great features of this ship...4-seats in the cockpit, moving boarding ramp, lights & sounds, turbolasers, dialogue from all the scenes, smuggling panels, Jedi training area, Dejarik table, medical bay, and escape pod! >Whew!<
There will also be a battle pack with accessories for the ship!
