Rebelscum have just posted these photos of the new Millennium Falcon from Hasbro’s Hero Series.
Interesting that this is marked as Episode V and they’ve chosen Hoth on the cover art. I would’ve thought that The Empire Strikes Back would have many better scenes to showcase the Falcon.
There’s no interior to this toy, so this isn’t just a rerelease of their BMF. Still, at two feet in length, this is going to be a serous toy. I wonder if it’ll have any electronic sounds. The toy itself looks pretty good at first glance, but I can’t see much play potential at first glance. Hopefully, this has a few surprises left in her.
15/07/14: I’ve just seen on the Rebelscum page that this is will be released in November and will retail for $59.99. Worst news is that it will be a Walmart exclusive. I wonder if I’ll be able to get one in the UK?
I think the reason they are featuring Hoth and Episode V is this is closely based on the 32″ studio model built for Empire by ILM. I’m already looking forward to buying one of these and accurizing it. Far more affordable than a Master Replica or Fine-molds.
I’m looking forward to getting one and seeing it in the flesh. Could be a good couple of years for us focus collectors. 🙂
A 60cm length seems rather large for a toy to hold in my hands and swoosh around over my head 🙂 but I’ll still keep an eye out for it.
That may be true but no toy is too big for pew pew pew. 🙂
It doesn’t do much of anything (aside from look really large and pretty cool), but I managed to get two at half price from Argos in the UK (£29.99 each) GBP 🙂
