Toy Fair has begun in New York, and Hasbro has revealed their plans for the coming year. There’s plenty of Clone Wars stuff, including Ahsoka in her new outfit, plus a new line of lightsabers. And while the comic packs may be gone, Expanded Universe action figures are still popping up. Most notably, a Nom Anor in June (That’s him up top, plus his card) and a Bastila Shan coming in April, both in the Vintage Collection.
I suppose the Quinlan Vos/Barriss Offee Galactic Heroes twin-pack counts as well, too. Perhaps most odd, however: Two Disney Exclusive Star Tours packs. You can check them all out at StarWars.com.
I thought Skeletor was a different franchise.
Exactly.
I almost want a Nom Anor figure. Actually, I think I will get one. The one Vong I actually haven’t completely put out of my memory.
I think that my new favorite action figure is going to be the “Luke Skywalker with Drain Snake” figure that’s in the vintage collection.
Actually, I like the idea of the re-issues a lot, but most of the sculpts look pretty rough. Hopefully these are just earlier prototypes, because there are quite a few here that I wouldn’t mind actually owning, but I’m kind of a sculpt-whore when it comes to shelling out for figures….
I look at the artistic interpretation of Yuuzhan Vong — often 11 feet tall with horns, or a massive Klingon-ridged skull — and am always puzzled how some ooglith masquer somehow makes them look human.
Hey wait a minute, who let the Frank Langella*Skeletor into the Star Wars universe?
Pablo: oogliths use the same tech as the V skins and Edgar’s human suit from MIB that somehow can stick a larger alien inside a human skin.
