It's time for another rumor list! While official confirmation on many 2008 toys is less than a month away at Toy Fair, there's been a lot of cool rumors floating around recently. Remember, nothing is official yet, so some/all/none of the following may be true...
First let's start with the latest listings from online sources:
EvolutionsFollowing up on one of our previous spy reports, the folks over at
FiguresMojo.com have a very detailed listing of no less than 4 Evolutions sets!
The Padmé Amidala Legacy (also listed at ToysRUs.com) - Said to include Queen Amidala, Senator of Naboo, and Mother of Legends
Rebellion Pilots Legacy (also listed at ToysRUs.com) - said to include Dorovio Bold, Wes Janson, and Ten Numb
Imperial Pilots Legacy - said to include AOTC Clone Pilot, ROTS Clone Pilot, and Biggs Darklighter
Rebellion Pilots Legacy #2 - said to include Cesi "Doc" Eirriss, Keyan "Lucky" Farlander, and Kesin Ommis
On a related note, our Rebel Spies have informed us that the packaging for the Evolutions may be changing, to make the figures stand out more on the shelves.

The popular Expanded Universe 2-packs series continues in 2008 with a number of characters, mostly from the Dark Horse Comics series. No photos of any of these sets have been revealed yet, but the spy reports keep on trickling in:
Quinlan Vos & Master Tholme - from various issues of Star Wars: Republic, both characters should have their Jedi robes
Wolf Sazen & Darth Nihl - from Star Wars: Legacy
Alto Stratus & Nimbus Guard - from Star Wars: Republic

Finally, another pair of Marvel Comics sets are rumored to be in the works, in order to finish off the adaptation of A New Hope. Past rumors include Princess Leia & C-3PO and Han Solo & Jabba the Hut
As always, take this report as just a rumor for now...as nothing is official yet. Toy Fair is less than 3 weeks away, and the excitement is building!
