Galactic Heroes Deja Vu, Part Deux

Posted by Curto on June 4, 2005 at 12:57 PM CST

In a recent report, we uncovered that the X-Wing Racer -a new convertible vehicle in the popular Galactic Heroes line- is a repaint of the TONKA Truck Adventures vehicle known as Dunes.

Rebelscum readers Dave and Kevin point out that it looks like Dunes was inspired by an old Kenner toy from the MASK line called Firefly! Check out these images of the old toy that inspired the new vehicle. Obviously, there are differences, but it's interesting to see the same concept adapted into the Star Wars universe.

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.
