Toy Fair: LEGOs, Clone Wars, and Legacy figures!

IMAGE: V-19 Torrent

The Official Blog has pictures of new Clone Wars and Indiana Jones LEGO vehicles and sets, fresh from U.S. Toy Fair. Above, the V-19 Torrent. (You can see the Star Wars stuff a tad larger, plus descriptions, over at Gizmodo.) Warning to spoilerphobes: The Indy IV sets look like they contain some location spoilers.

Yakface has an impressive gallery of pictures from the Hasbro booth, including some familiar faces from the Legacy comics and other EU faves.

Oh, and Deet? Gentle Giant is coming out with a Shirtless Darth Maul. I thought you should know.

More on the wildly popular Rejected Star Wars

TEASER: Rejected Star WarsJason Geyer posted a followup to his Rejected Star Wars entry, which has now spread all over the fannish blogsphere:

A few things I did want to clarify about the “Rejected” Star Wars concepts: “Rejected!” is the name of my ongoing series of unmade stuff. But not all of these were rejected by Lucasfilm. We don’t know how many of these were actually seen by Lucasfilm- they were presented to Pepsi first and then those concepts they liked were sent on to Lucas Licensing. So possibly a very small sample was shown to Lucasfilm.

A closer look at upcoming EU figures and toys

IMAGE: NJO Luke figureEU Cantina spotted these images of upcoming action figures, including the three (two spoilery!) variations of TFU’s ‘Secret Apprentice’ unboxed. But the real treat here is a look at the ‘Evolution of the Jedi’ pack, including what I believe is an NJO-era Luke Skywalker and KOTOR figures.

In other EU toy-type news, CJ reader Scoke discovered this giant list of box scans from WOTC’s new Legacy of the Force miniature line, which includes quite a variety of EU figures, from the Old Republic to folks from the Legacy comics.

The Clone Wars are coming!

Check out the packaging for The Clone Wars merchandise. Interesting, no? But the really interesting thing? All that stuff is going to start appearing on shelves July 26. Does that mean we’ll actually be seeing the series soon?

In other thrilling CW news, AICN has now hopped into the story, and they’re reporting that the theatrical release will involve four episodes and be sometime in the spring. The spring? I call shenanigans. Minicons take time!

Clone Wars Huttling revealed, sort of

Jedi News has been hitting the UK Toy Fair, and among their finds is another new character from The Clone Wars:

The LEGO Rep let us into a few spoilers including the fact there will indeed be a feature release in early September here in the UK (a couple of weeks earlier in the US), and he also told us about the characters included with these sets – don’t read the next sentence if you don’t want to know! Rotta is Jabba the Hutt’s nephew or son (there seemed to be some confusion about this) and the first 2 or 3 episodes centre on his kidnapping!

Presumably, he’s not anyone’s secret apprentice. Phew.

Check out their pics of the LEGO Rotta and other Clone Wars characters.

Force Unleashed toy spoilers!

TFN discovered a Hasbro Evolutions 3-pack that reveals the ‘Secret Apprentice’ (if we don’t get a real name soon I’m just going to settle for Crashdown) in the guises of a Sith Lord and a Jedi. Rebelscum has more pics of what looks to be a large chunk of the TFU line.

Though really, seeing how many secret apprentices Anakin/Vader had, they could probably stand to diversify the field a bit. You know that someone somewhere is chomping at the bit for a Hethrir figure.
