Disney and Lucasfilm Announce Forces of Destiny

Star Wars Celebration is in full swing and there are already huge announcements.

Disney and Lucasfilm today announced Star Wars Forces of Destiny, a new initiative celebrating the inspiring stories of iconic heroes from across the Star Wars universe. An original series of animated shorts (each 2-3 minutes in length) will explore exciting, all new adventures of key characters including Rey, Jyn Erso, Sabine Wren, Princess Leia, Ahsoka Tano and others, ahead of books and a TV special later in the year. The stories will also be supported by a line of toys from Hasbro, including new ‘Adventure Figures’ – a fusion between traditional dolls and action figures, creating a whole new way to play Star Wars.

Star Wars Forces of Destiny will also be supported by global product extensions, such as books, apparel, bedding, and toys – including the new line of ‘Adventure Figures’ created by Hasbro, which bridges the gap between traditional action figures and dolls. Each individually designed figure features dynamic action, like Rey swinging her lightsaber, along with multiple points of articulation to help recreate the characters’ adventures and heroic moments with different poses.

“From Princess Leia to Sabine Wren, Star Wars heroines are unique, and we wanted to represent that in the product line for Star Wars Forces of Destiny,” said Jimmy Pitaro, Chairman, Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media. “The result is the creation of our new ‘Adventure Figures’ that celebrate the power and stories of these incredible characters and allow kids to recreate their most heroic moments at home.”

The 11-inch figures will depict characters including Rey, Jyn Erso, Princess Leia, Sabine Wren, plus loveable sidekicks and epic villains like BB-8, Chewbacca, Kylo Ren and many more. Hasbro is also rolling out Star Wars Forces of Destiny role play and accessories—from Rey’s Extendable Staff, to a new, electronic Jedi Power Lightsaber toy, which are part of the Star Wars Bladebuilders system.

You can read the whole announcement here.  Its like Star Wars meets Barbie.  I have a feeling collectors and little girls alike will be picking these up.

Star Wars Black Series: Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder Revealed

Luke Skywalker is all set to head down to Tosche Station for a rendezvous with Biggs, Windy, Deak, and Fixer in this exclusive first look at the latest addition to Hasbro’s premium Black Series line. The young moisture farmer can cruise the dunes of the twin-sunned planet in his X-34 landspeeder.

Yahoo Movies has the full scoop, so check out the store HERE. It is priced the same as yesterday’s set at $60.00 USD, but you also get a reconfigured Farmboy Luke, now with a new hat, a rifle,  and possibly new head sculpt.   Check out the pictures and look for more reveals from Hasbro at Star Wars Celebration this weekend!

Rey’s Force Awakens Speeder is Coming to the Black Series

When images of Rey’s speeder started circulating the web way back when, I referred to it as Rey’s “Fudgecicle” ride.  Revealed at io9, Rey’s Speeder will retail for aout $60 and will be available this fall.  We can expect more reveals from Hasbro in the next few days at Star Wars Celebration.  Check it all out from i09:

Making its debut exclusively here on io9, the next entry in Hasbro’s 6-inch Black Series vehicle line—which previously gave us a very large (and very pricey) version of the First Order TIE Fighter—is Rey’s Speeder, in-scale to an accompanying new figure of Rey in her scavenger gear, too. (more…)

MFCT Marvel、DC、星際大戰 情報&客製化 posted some images on Facebook of the Spider-Man: Homecoming Marvel Legends in package.  If you are wondering why the Vulture looks so naked, his wings are the BAF.  I would imagine that this wave will be popping up for pre-order at online retailers soon.  This wave is seven figures and Hasbro cases are eight, so we can expect a double in the case.  Word on the street it is the obvious guess of Spider-Man being the extra.   (more…)
