HT x Hasbro Star Wars

[OSCORP]

Its a new partnership between Hasbro + Star Wars + HT Japan.

They will be making new SW stuffs for [episode 7]. At least that's some of the infos that I can read.

Hasbro or HT?

Hasbro or HT?

It's a joint effort between the 2 companies. I think its something like EB X Medicom's Ultimate Unison sort of collab.

I have no idea why they would need to emphasize HT Japan instead of just "HT" though. Perhaps I'm reading onto it a bit too much.

So it will be japan special or just some common product? Whatever it is i'm in

So Hot Toys got the Asian License for Star Wars away from Medicom then? If Im unstanding this right? I wonder what that means with HT and SS partnership?

 

[OSCORP]

LOL NO. I don't think that's what's going on at all.

 

[steveo]

Could this be the lamest "reveal" ever? EVER?

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Is it even a reveal though?

We're all just doing this right now.

 

[Rzeznikk]

LOL NO. I don't think that's what's going on at all.

I sense a little sarcasm in the force.

Kind of sounds like HT will be able to sell Hasbro items to the Asian (or maybe just Japanese) market. So, probably nothing to do with what most of us collect.

Kind of like when Sideshow announced they were a distributor for Lego... no changes happen in terms of product, just where you could get it from.

[dickmode]lol at all of you who blew your undies in anticipation despite reason/logic.[/dickmode]

Re: HT Darth Vader "From Japan again"..?

I'm 99% sure that this is what we are looking at, background even looks the same...question is why would hot toys be teasing this when we know sideshow is currently working on this exact figure???

Just maybe because they are now doing the 1/4th scale figures!!!!
Would prefer 1/6th but either way it is darth/bespin backround.

 

[mortifactor]

Hopefully they can start the HT 1/6 Yakface

 

[Kuzeh]

So... wait...
What did Hasbro do before in Asia? Who distributed Hasbro SW figures?
I knew there was something weird about this...

That sounds like the most logical, reasonable answer.
