Kitty's Pryde got our answers to the last Star Wars Q&A. Check them out.
1) Many fans love the articulation featured in the 'super-articulated Clone Trooper', but most figures continue to use tooling with less mobile joints. Why have the designers chosen to utilize articulation (especially in new molds) that allows for less movement than articulation already developed? We assume that you are referring to Clone Wars figures, since the Legacy figures continue to be super-articulated. The simple reason for Clone Wars figures taking a bit of step down in articulation is due to the fact that the vast majority of Clone Wars figures are bought by kids who do not place value in articulation, and in fact find highly-articulated figures a lot more fussy to control and pose. We want to make sure that we are putting our cost investments (tooling, etc) in the right place and we want to make sure that we aren't over-developing figures for the target audience. 2) Are anymore EU figures planned? While there are fewer EU figures planned for 2011-2012 than there have been in the past few years, there are some strong figures in the works. In 2011, there will be another multi-figure pack based on The Force Unleashed coming to Toys 'R Us, as well as a few higher-profile figures in the Vintage figure lineup. We have a couple more things in the works as well that we hope to announce next Spring. In 2012, we will start to feature some figures from the new Star Wars videogames (TFU II and TOR) and hope to be able to expand into the EU a bit more. Assuming the Entertainment Earth wave of exclusive Comic Packs (available now for pre-order!) do well, it certainly opens the door for more discussions on how and whether to continue that series. |
