We have
heard a lot of complaints regarding the
figures in recent years lacking
durability. Some examples are guns that
are warped upon removal from the
package, figures who’s limbs or heads
fall off when they are being posed
gently, and so on. One collector
mentioned that the recent GI Joe figures
he bought had no such problem, but the
Star Wars figures by comparison seemed
exceptionally fragile. Is Hasbro aware
of this, is there a reason why the
figures are so fragile, and is anything
being done to make figures more
“play-worthy” in the future?
A couple of weeks ago you mentioned
Hasbro was thinking of “sequeling” the
Ultimate Galactic Hunt chase figures you
did this past Spring. Those UGH figures
were a cause of frustration for many
collectors and a boon to many scalpers
on eBay. Other Galactic Hunt items, such
as the Silver Slave I Titanium, the
Clone Wars Gunship, etc. were produced
in numbers great enough that it seems
most collectors are able to get one, but
the UGH silver foil 3.75” scale figures
were not. If this event is sequeled will
Hasbro take collector frustration into
account and perhaps release a greater
number of the silver foil (or whatever
it is that you do to the next round)
figures?
I am going to put this one in
additionally, as it was asked by one of
our listeners. I am not sure if you want
to be “known” to the community as we,
and most other sites, have simply said
“Hasbro replied” and then your answer,
but one person asked Who are you?
meaning... What got you into Star Wars?
What is your role at Hasbro? Can you
tell us a little about yourself and some
of your daily duties? How long have you
been with the Star Wars line? Hear
the answers to these questions on this
week's show! |
