What an odd statement?
Why did they show off the other stuff? Why are other companies showing things off now? Hasbro just showed off every other scale of Star Wars. Why would they not show a bit from vintage and black series? |

I have a feeling things won't be that hard to find though since there's so much merch, but who knows. Production delays in China may create low supply. Yeah and frankly everything baby Yoda they just showed is pretty much all that retailers actually care about, not a 6" scale Snowspeeder that will shelfwarm and go clearance. |

Not at all.
Are board games and basic figures something that people go crazy over or are they ignored if revealed alongside the big guns? There's your answer. Appetizers. Because then they have nothing left to reveal at Toy Fair to make an impact among all the other companies bringing their A-game? |

I’m assuming there is not much to show for vintage or black series. The rumored 6 vintage figures which most are repacks and the black series figures have been shown through leaks on the empire cards....again mostly repacks. So maybe the rumored black series snow speeder could steel the show?
I think building hype for all their lines would have been better. Hope I’m wrong, but expect very little for the 3.75 scale Star Wars world. And hasbro at this point has still not renewed with Disney for marvel or Star Wars beyond this year. |

Since there is nothing on the horizon for the next couple of years, Hasbro should be able to reveal figures more figures. |

At this point, we should all be familiar with Hasbro's Toy Fair and Comic-Con approaches. Show a little from every license before hand to get people interested, then comes the press event where everything else is shown.

I looked the other week to see when Hasbro and Disney last renewed their licenses and it was April 2018. While it's understandable that everyone is anxious about the renewal, no news isn't necessarily bad news just yet.

They may still show off Black Series via another outlet. they try to spread their pre-show reveals to as many major general news outlets as possible. Toy Fair itself starts Saturday, so there's going to be a ton of news incoming.

That top image of Baby Yoda looks like one of those creepy Reborn Dolls (if you don't know what that is, exercise caution when googling it haha)

It'll be crazy starting Saturday morning, then runs through Sunday, with Mattel hosting press on Monday.

That's usually Comic-Con. No "official" preview night for Toy Fair. some people will sneak around and take stealth shots, but we try not to do that. We may get an early invite to a booth or two on Friday, depending on how far set up is along.

That Mandalorian skull necklace proves that HasBLO does indeed still know how to vac-metalize. Too bad they won't use it on the many figures that need it.
It is hilarious that they are actually still trying to push that 5" crap. |

You'll Have to Wait for your Baby Yoda Toys (CNN, 12-Feb) Online listings for "child" toys predict arrival in April or May, but it might take longer, given disruption tied to Corona virus and other things. |

Nice to see Season 7 of Clone Wars get some representation from Hasbro. Hopefully this'll translate to the Black Series too, especially a new Ahsoka!
