ROTS Close Up: Droid Tri-Fighter
Posted by Mark on February 19, 2005 at 04:04 AM CST
There's a new Droid Starfighter in town, and from the looks of it, he's a nasty bugger. I won’t go into too much detail where this fighter is concerned, gotta save somethin' for the movie, but I am rather impressed with how the toy turned out. The Tri-Fighter offers an intriguing design, nice deco, a trio of firing projectiles, and a few interesting little play pals. If I had one complaint it would be the fact that aside from looking cool, the toy really doesn’t do all that much. The center pod rotates and acts as storage for the buzzers, there are two ‘manually’ operated bombs, and of course the missiles, but that’s pretty much the extent of it. Though I’m not sure where it would have gone, maybe in one of the three fins or in the engine pods, a sound chip could have added a little more play value to the table.

Now that you've had your first look at Hasbro's 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Black Series Boba Fett and Han Solo in Carbonite two pack, the Probe Droid is curious what you think of the set.
I'm attending SDCC and will certainly get this awesome set!
I'm attending SDCC but have no interest in this line.

I'm undecided but interested in seeing it added to the Photo Archive.
I'm more vexed at why toy collecting news is suddenly exclusive to USA Today instead of a site I go to for my Star Wars news...
