NYCC 2014: Hasbro Shares Press Pics from ‘Twas the Night Before Party

The mood lighting at Hasbro’s ‘Twas the Night Before (New York Comic Con) party was great for getting us in a festive mood, but is hell on the smart phone I have convinced myself is better than lugging around a few pounds of camera gear. (How’d I do? Check out my own pics from the event.) But Hasbro planned ahead, sharing press pics of pretty much all the reveals from this evening’s soiree.

And of course, we’re sharing them with you. We’ve got the official pics from Marvel, Star Wars, Transformers, KRE-O, and the latest of the Angry Birds mash-ups – Angry Birds Transformers. Enjoy!

SDCC 2014: Hasbro Star Wars Black (Preview Night)

Fans of Hasbro’s 6-inch lines may be underwhelmed by what was shown for their Star Wars Black Series 6-inchers at Preview Night. No new reveals, but I was happy to see the deluxe figures – both Jabba and the Speeder Bike look awesome – and next wave of single-packed figures on display.

Paint apps still seem to be the weak link in terms of production quality – and it stands out most on the human figures with their G.I. Joe-styled eyes, like on Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker. Darth Vader looks good, but he does seem a little bloated with the cloth apps. The standout for me is Chewbacca.

Overall, with so little on display tonight, it does hint that the retail channel is a little backed up on this line. But stay tuned – Hasbro’s Star Wars panel is on Friday, so we can hope for a few more reveals then.

Hasbro Announces Star Wars Black Series Yoda and Shares More Jabba Pics

Hope you had a great Star Wars Day yesterday! To celebrate May the Fourth (be with you), Hasbro revealed the next figure to join their Star Wars Black Series 6-inch line – none other than Jedi Master Yoda himself. And to show you that size matters not, this morning they revealed the final press shots of their San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Jabba the Hutt Throne Room Set.

Hasbro’s Star Wars presentation at Toy Fair closing out with Salacious Crumb’s laughter was indeed a hint at what is to come. The SDCC Jabba set will include an in-scale Salacious Crumb, and will also include Jabba’s hookah and the railing on which it rests. The packaging completes the effect – it opens to reveal Jabba on a raised platform with throne room backdrop, while the front flap lays flat, with trap door to the rancor printed on it. Judge them by their size, will you?
