To be completely honest, I wasn’t even going to bring my camera to WonderCon at first. My wife and I were only going to be able to go for a few hours one afternoon, and although WonderCon is organized by the same folks who handle San Diego Comic-Con, it doesn’t attract the the toy manufacturers like SDCC does. As we were getting ready to walk out the door, I thought, why not?
Hasbro has shared some pictures of upcoming products across its boys toys lines – Marvel, Star Wars, and Transformers (GI Joe was absent this update). This month, the Marvel team is the big winner, with a slew of pics across Spider-Man, Iron Man, Marvel Universe, and Super Hero Squad – 174 of them! So let’s start with them.
The Medicom RAH 1/6 scale C-3P0 and R2-D2 figures, due in the 3rd quarter this year, are now available for pre-order. Both feature LED lights and articulation. R2-D2’s 3rd leg is retractable, and he can stand on 2 legs.
Hasbro held its Collector Briefing yesterday, and this morning I’ll cover the update from the Star Wars team. (Yesterday evening I posted updates for the Marvel properties – Iron Man 2, Marvel Universe, Spider-Man, and Super Hero Squad – and G.I. Joe.)
For Star Wars, 2010 will be a more focused year – the comic book packs and Galactic Heroes Cinema Scenes will go on hiatus in the fall – but will still be a celebration of the brand. This year is the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, and to commemorate that, Hasbro is relaunching the Vintage Collection of modern figures with vintage-styled card backs.
