Toy Fair 2009: Hasbro Presentation Highlights

I posted some images on Saturday from Rebel Scum. This time I am highlighting what interests me from the Hasbro presentation. These slides are from Jedi Temple Archives.

This new packaging will start in August and percolate through all Star Wars merchandise.


The Clone Wars - 2009 Wave 2


The Clone Wars - 2009 Wave 3.


The Clone Wars - 2009 Wave 4.


The Clone Wars - 2009 Wave 5.


The Clone Wars - Revamped "deluxe" line.


Turbo Tank Gunner Crew on-shelf date indicates that we should see the vehicle sometime between mid-August and mid-September.


The "starfighter" line will see some new vehicles this year, like the Republic Fighter Tank.


The ARC-170 makes another appearance, with yet another price hike. The vehicles to large for the "starfighter" line but too small to be a "big" vehicle will be in the new "deluxe" vehicle line.


There she is, the Turbo Tank! Expect to see this monster in time for Season 2 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.


New turrets!!!


With "Evolutions" set to go on hiatus this fall, the line falls to an exclusive label.


The highly coveted and hard-to-find The Force Unleashed Stormtrooper Commander figure will be rereleased as a shared exclusive at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con.

There are some images of what to expect out of Hasbro from now until early fall. A lot of good stuff like the Republic Fighter Tank and the Turbo Tank, in addition to the Geonosis Assault battle pack with two Episode II-style Clone Pilots and turrets! You'll notice I didn't mention anything about The Legacy Collection. It just so happens that there isn't a single figure shown at Toy Fair that I want. And I don't want to steal every image from Jedi Temple Archives. If you want to see the rest, go here.

It was also revealed that the Unleashed line will be ending and that Mighty Muggs will become Toys R Us exclusives.
