I don't think Rex is as popular as you may be pitching. Popular among people who watched the show probably (not gonna lie I wasn't all that into Rex, cool armor, but he just felt like a re-skin of what had already been done). However not very popular, or even heard of, amongst a good crowd of the fans who only watched the movies and left it at that, for every one fan who has seen all movies, the holiday special (if you're a true fan you'll force yourself to watch this crap), seen/heard of the droids/Ewoks animated shit, watched the original Clone Wars, watched The Clone Wars (the second one), and maybe played some of the better games (or more) for every one of those fans, there's probably like eight or more who only watched the movies.
Hasbro could make a Rex in the 6" line (which I've reasoned/noted is more of an adult-collectors line than any of their other 6" lines) however I personally would like to see the known movie characters (the ones in the movies who have some level of fan-base) all have toys before we see any television/game/non-movie characters. It bothers me a lot that we got Darth Maul and RotS Anakin before Darth Vader and RotS Obi Wan before Ol' man Ben (not even revealed yet).
Done ranting there, not a fan of how much soft-good material is going into this line so far. Darth Vader has a tad too much (especially that they made the pieces around his gut-box soft-good), and it makes the Emperor look kinda weird, like a doll rather than an action figure.
