Medicom Kubrick Boba Fett Collection Update
Earlier this week, StarWars.com ran a feature on the upcoming Kubrick Boba Fett Collection from Medicom Toy.

Medicom was kind enough to confirm for us that the Boba Fett Collection will be released in individual boxes, just like their other Star Wars Kubrick Series.
Dear Jeff,So there you go. Thanks to Medicom Toy for helping clear things up for us.
Thank you for your inquiry and your everyday attention to our product.

Hasbro Star Wars Q&A - Session 8
On February 27th, we sent our eighth batch of questions to Hasbro to once again take part in their Star Wars Question and Answer sessions. Today, we've got the answers to those three questions!
1. The Comic Packs Lumiya figure - knee articulation or no? Some folks see a knee joint in those Toy Fair pictures, but others don't (and frankly, due to information overload at Toy Fair, I can't remember myself what type of articulation she had).
** Yes, Lumiya will indeed have knee articulation.
2. The Clone Wars Nikto Bounty Hunter figure - we know he's not coming in the Jabba Battle Pack anymore, but can you confirm that he will make it out at some point in the near future? He's such a great figure, we'd love to get him sooner rather than later!
** Right now he does not have a home, but because he is tooled it is guaranteed that he will eventually come out either as a basic figure or part of an exclusive. He's a great figure, we're just looking for the best way to get him into the line.
3. Just to clarify a point that has come up on your 10th Anniversary Eopie Mail-Away - will the "Mark of Maul" stickers be found only in Phantom Menace wave or will the stickers be found in other toys/figures as well?
** Currently, only the Legacy/Droid Factory fist waves of figures will have the sticker. We looking at whether we can carry the stickers across all basic figures. Even if the other figure SKUs (Clone Wars, Saga Legends) do not have the sticker, all basic figures will be eligible for the mail-in promotion.
