Hasbro Star Wars Q&A - Session 29
On June 25th, we sent our twenty-ninth 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) Fall 2010 Clone Wars General Grievous - cape or no cape? At Toy Fair, it sounded like he'd have a cape. Recent images though suggest no cape after all. Just wondering if CW Grievous would be cold or not... I guess he could always borrow a cape from the Vintage Wave 2 Grievous if he got the chills.
** The Fall Clone Wars Grievous will not have a cape, but has some cool battle damage accessories to round out the play pattern. Both the Saga Legends Grievous and Grievous from Vintage Wave 3 will include capes (PVC and cloth, respectively).
2) Last year, we finally got our long-awaited AotC versions of Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru. This year, we're getting an updated (sorta) ANH Uncle Owen in the Visionaries Comic Pack. How much longer for an update to ANH Aunt Beru? PotF2 Flashback Beru is great for... well, she's not really great for anything. Surely she's got to have a better chance at a figure than Jocasta or the "they who shall not be named" twins, right?
** Ah, you have to give the PotF2 Beru some credit; she is a very well-sculpted figure. We don't feel a compelling need to update her, at least any time soon if ever).
