Rundown of Hasbro’s San Diego Comic Con Panel with Pictures!

The Hasbro panel and San Diego Comic Con has come and gone, and many were left unfulfilled. There were no The Last Jedi product reveals aside from the previously revealed Luke and Rey Black Series 2-pack that we reviewed in an earlier article. Also in a surprising move, Hasbro didn’t mention anything about what we should expect on Force Friday, which is only six weeks away. It may not necessarily be their decision, as I am sure Lucasfilm is doing what they can to keep any kind of plot reveals sealed for as long as they can. That aside, they did show us plenty of awesome new figures and accessories headed our way, so let’s check them out!

 

 

Before we delve into the figures, we must get into some elegance first. Now you may call it Anakin’s, or Luke’s, but to Hasbro in 2017, the Skywalker family heirloom is now knows as Rey’s lightsaber, and here it is in all of it’s full Force FX glory!

 

 

Now on to the figures!

 

 

3.75″ 5POA

 

  • Leia on Hoth
  • Hoth Luke and the Wampa (with removable arm)
  • Darth Vader and an Imperial Probe Droid

 

 

  • Han Solo and Boba Fett
  • Emperor Palpatine with changeable hands (Force lightning)
  • Darth Maul and Qui-Gon Jinn
  • Rathtar with Bala-Tik, the negotiator for the Guavian Death Gang

 

 

 

THE VINTAGE COLLECTION 3.75″

 

This collection will span the entire saga, including classic and new characters never previously released in SA form, as well as reissues of other popular characters. The numbering will resume after Jakku Rey (116). Some of the figures mentioned:

 

  • Rey
  • Kylo Ren
  • Doctor Aphra

 

  • First Order Stormtrooper
  • Hoth Rebel Soldier
  • Jyn Erso
  • Death Trooper
  • Cassian Andor

BLACK SERIES 6″

 

  • Rebel Fleet Trooper (with a removal helmet and the Death Star plans data card)
  • Dewback with a Sandtrooper (Tatooine)
  • Captain Rex (removable helmet)
  • General Leia Organa (The Force Awakens – with blaster and a removable jacket)
  • Maz Kanata (with chest that contains Luke/Anakin’s blue lightsaber)

 

 

 

FORCES OF DESTINY

 

  • Senator Padme Amidala (Attack of the Clones, in her Naboo pilot outfit)

Here are some other Forces of Destiny items showcased at SDCC, including a new item that has drawn a lot of interest/speculation, that being Rey’s staff (seen bottom right).

What do you think of all of the figures? I personally love the Force FX lightsaber, especially now that they make them with removable blades. Sound off in the comments below and be sure to head to the Cantina and discuss it with everyone there!

 

You can find my Force FX Twitter profile here @JohnnyHoey to discuss all of these figures, and you know we’ll be talking about it on The Resistance Broadcast, you can write to us there @RBatSWNN on Twitter.

    My eyes’re shite – what am I missing? Lightsaber tips or something?

      You can see part of the box and the staff itself in the background.

    Never really understood the appeal of Thrawn, he looks like a Star Trek alien.
    But I got to thinking about his appeal as a character and It got me to realise that for some people he represents their Star Wars, (like the OT is mine) people have “their” James Bond, or “their” Dr Who. Seems to me that it’s partly a generation thing.
    Just a random thought on a thread about toys!

      I’m with you. I don’t get what the big deal is about him, but I’m not going to hate. There are now so many levels of Star Wars that it’s cool to be a fan of a specific niche.

        I like that he’s more of a strategist than a more physical villain. he’s very different from a Sith, because he couldn’t hurt a Jedi in a one-on-one attack, but he could crush the Rebellion with an awesome invasion/attack (except for that one time). He’s like a Tarkin on steroids; a very different Star Wars villain.

      Never got Thrawn too till Rebels.
      Now, if they brought him into the Movies, My god, that would be awesome.

    If the Probot isn’t too expensive I might look out for that to go on my desk, I’ve never had a representation of that design before.

    Finally a good Maz Kanata figure.
    Personally, she is the character I am most interested in in the new sequel trilogy + I love her design.
