Hasbro Star Wars Q&A - Session 28
On June 4th, we sent our twenty-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 our two questions!1) In previous Q&As, you've hinted that in addition to the Vintage Fett offer there may be another mail-away promo later this year, one focused on The Clone Wars. Will this be a regular figure offer (like Fett or Nahdar) or something a little fancier (like the Eopie or perhaps something to tie in with the new Galactic Card Game)?
** You are getting very close with the Galactic Battle Card game tie-in, Jeff…nicely done. The set will include a battle play mat/soft vinyl storage carry-all along with a new Clone Trooper. Details on the promotion will be made available at Comic Con.
2) A couple questions about the exclusive Visionaries Comic Pack - is the Uncle Owen figure all new or a kitbash? And is there any chance we can get a better look at him (and/or Maul too)?
** Uncle Owen is 100% new and not a kitbash. See attached for the image of the two.
