NYCC 2013: Hasbro Star Wars Rebels Packaging Reveal

Here’s a quick on from Hasbro for the upcoming Star Wars Rebels toy line, to support the new animated series.

In anticipation of Lucasfilm’s STAR WARS REBELS panel at New York Comic Con (Saturday, October 12, 2013; 2:45 PM 3:45 PM; Location: Empire Stage 1-E), Hasbro unveils the packaging treatment for its STAR WARS REBELS 3.75-inch action figure line supporting the upcoming animated series.

STAR WARS REBELS continues the epic tradition of the legendary Star Wars saga with all-new exciting, action-packed adventures. It is a dark time in the galaxy, as the evil Galactic Empire tightens its grip of power from world to world. As the series begins, Imperial forces have occupied a remote planet, ruling with an iron fist and ruining the lives of its people. But there are a select few who are brave enough to stand up against the endless Stormtroopers and TIE fighters of the Empire: the clever and motley crew of the starship Ghost. Together, this ragtag group will face threatening new villains, have thrilling adventures, and become heroes.

Hasbro’s STAR WARS REBELS line, featuring highly detailed 3.75-inch action figures with multiple points of articulation, is coming to a galaxy near you in 2014.

NYCC 2013: Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Reveals

By the time we arrived at the Hasbro “Night Before” party, any traces of 6-inch Star Wars Black Series figures vaporized. Luckily, Hasbro shared official images of the Episode 3 Anakin Skywalker figure (so angry!) as well as ones for the 3.75-inchers that were there.

Not being a big fan of the Prequels, I was more excited about the Han Solo figure from the Star Wars Black Series wave 2 that was in our goodie bag. Thanks again, Hasbro!

Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Han Solo First Look

Had a rough night (NYC taxi cab drove off with our luggage) but Hasbro eased some of our hurt by giving us an early look at the Star Wars Black Series 6-inch Han Solo as part of their goodie bag for the Hasbro “Night Before” party. Between calls to the NYC TLC (the organization that licenses the taxis), the cab company, and the NYPD, I snapped a couple of quick shots.

Han is part of wave 2, which is due in late November. You can pre-order the Star Wars Black Series Han Solo and the other figures from wave 2 from Amazon.com.

Weekend Toy Run: AFP Toys for Tots Auction for SDCC Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett

Normally, when I have some extra goodies available I’d put them up for a Free Stuff giveaway, because it’s a great way to generate publicity for AFP. I happen to have one of the exclusive Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett, with Han Solo in carbonite here. I was lucky enough to pick one up for myself at SDCC, but when I saw them available on HasbroToyShop, I put in an order for two more. The idea was that I’d be able to get them to get them to collectors that weren’t as lucky.

One of them went to SpyMagician from Spy Monkey Creations (check out their Weaponeers of Monkaa). The other was going to go to another friend, but he managed to pick one up on his own. And while I also had it available to trade for awhile, I decided, given the rarity of the figure, to try something different. So I have Boba Fett and his Han Solo paper weight up on eBay, with a portion of the proceeds going to Toys for Tots.

It’s up with a penny starting bid, no reserve, and free shipping (U.S. only – sorry, international fans). Toys for Tots will get 25% of the proceeds right from the closing price, set up directly through eBay. The way I’ve planned it, if it closes for around what they’re going for right now, then Toys for Tots will get little chunk of change, I’ll cover the cost of the figure and the shipping and eBay fees, and a collector will get a hard-to-find exclusive. Of course, it could also go horribly wrong – but even if it goes for cheap, it’ll still be in a collector’s hands, much like if I did a Free Stuff giveaway – so that wouldn’t be so bad either.

So if you’re still looking for the SDCC exclusive Boba Fett, or just looking to help out Toys for Tots, please consider making a bid. For more pics, check out Sandman’s Boba Fett Quick Pics from SDCC. Thanks, and have a great weekend!
