C4 Video: Force-Cast TV - Hasbro Special Announcements
Posted by Curto on June 2, 2007 at 09:22 AM CST
During last week's Hasbro presentation at Celebration IV, Hasbro not only offered a look at the new toys in their lineup, but they also had a few special announcements.

The first is the winner of the "Show us your lightsaber" contest, Lee Vehe, was given a special vac-metallized version of the Force-Action lightsaber. Lee also has created an "Eyes of Darth Tater" film you can see now on Atom Films.

Then, Hasbro made an announcement of a collaboration with Lucafilm, and debuted the upcoming R2-KT figure, which was created in honor of Katie Johnson. This figure will be available at Comic-Con, through HasbroToyShop.com, and StarWarsShop.com. Hasbro and Lucasfilm are supporting Make-a Wish of San Diego with a $100,000 donation in Katie Johnson's memory to the Make-a-Wish foundations of San Diego and South Carolina.

    Poll
    What if Hasbro were to offer a new line of larger scale figures that put a focus on screen accuracy? The Probe Droid is curious if you'd walk away from the 3 3/4" line in favour of something new that catered more to adult collectors.
    I'd be willing to start from scratch.
    I'd be into it only if they were super articulated.
    I'd only be into it if sculpt and silhouette were the main focus.
    I might get a few, but I don't think I'm ready to start something new.
    I'm only interested in 3 3/4" figures.
    I don't collect the Hasbro stuff.
