Rebelscum has a scan from Lee’s Toy Review #175 featuring several figures based on comic books: Vader and Leia from Infinities: A New Hope, Dark Woman & A’sharad Hett from Republic and Mara and Luke from the Heir to the Empire comic adaption. No longer will Mara fans have to depend on eBay for a figure, though I’m actually kind of digging the Dark Woman…
Quinlan figure coming in spring
April brings the second wave of EU figures, including comic favorite Quinlan Vos and a very Planet of the Apes-looking Chewbacca.
For those wondering about this Vos dude, a reader at the Dark Horse boards has provided a reading list.
Check out the Darth Revan figure
From the console game Knights of the Old Republic emerges the Hasbro Fan Choice figure, Darth Revan. ToyFare #114 gives fans their first look at the Sith Lord’s figure mold.
The figure looks great! Between this and the Republic Commando figures, we can can only hope Hasbro picks up the popularity of these expanded universe and gives us more – maybe a KOTOR wave, with Bastila Shan and others?
You’ve seen what we’ve done to Obi-Wan, right?
Sideshow Collectibles is having a poll for fans to choose what EU character will be made into a 12-inch figure.
The choices are rather limited. I can see Mara Jade, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Asajj Ventress, and Quinlan Vos… But Kir Kanos and arctic suit Padmé from the Clone Wars cartoon? Kir Kanos? And don’t they have already enough costume changes in the movies for 50 Padmé dolls?
Oh well. Voting is open until November 4th.
