On August 3rd, we sent our fifteenth 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. A few sneaky folks were able to shoot some pics as you were setting up your SDCC'09 booth. One thing we noticed in the set-up shots was a second Utai figure sculpt that was clearly at the show, but not shown officially. What's the scoop there? Potential running change that was cancelled? Will the second Utai end up on the same "maybe someday" list like Ratts Tyerell did at Toy Fair '09?
** The plan was for a Utai 2-pack, but that became a victim of cost controls with the Droid Factory waves. Right now there are no plans to release this one, but as always we will find a way to get him back out. We can confirm that Ratts is going to be coming out in the 2011 line.
2. The Walmart Clone Wars 2-Packs - will we have to buy the 2-pack sets to get Clone Troopers Rys and Fives or will those two be coming on basic cards like Jek, Echo, and Denal?
** There are no plans for Rys and Fives to come out on basic figures cards.
3. On the Fall ANH wave Scanning Trooper - can you confirm that there will be different head sculpts to go with the different cargo boxes? Seems to be some conflicting info on whether or not the figures will have variants or just the cargo box/scanners? And on the topic of Scanner Guy, are the "innards" of the cargo boxes removable pieces or is the box one piece?
** There will be a separate head sculpt that will accompany the second accessory when the figures are released. On the inside of the top box, the scanner is removable (on a tether) but the inside is glued in place.
