Wioslea
Brainiac
Trinto Duaba
Dice Ebegon (pack-in w. Trinto)
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Jawa with WED-15 Droid


Luke Stormtrooper
Han Stormtrooper
Space Trooper

Princess Leia (likely Medical Frigate)
Luke Skywalker Medical Frigate
Ugnaught 2-pack
Hoth Rebel Trooper
Captain Needa

Yaddle & Even Piel Jedi Master 2-pack
Coruscant LND (it's supposedly a trooper - Yoda's gray guys from ROTS?)

Count Dooku
General Grievous (new size?)
Bail Organa
Breah Organa
Cmdr Gree (likely repack)
Kashyyyk Trooper (likely repack)

Darth Vader Battle Front II
Imperial Engineer Battle Front II

Anyway, these are confirmed. You'll just have to trust me on this.

The ANH, ESB, and ROTS offerings look incredible. We've already got photos of the ROTJ stuff from Toy Fair. (Bane, Yarna, etc.)

Enjoy!

Almost all of these figures were on rumor lists . . . where did you get "confirmation?"

Everyone wants to ask me this in one of the threads or another. I'm never going to post that. I can't. Since it's the 3rd time I've been asked, with no hurt meant to be sent JabbaJohnL's way, I'm just not going to volunteer to do this in the future (probably). I'm not a regular toy reporter. Comic Con might establish my credability or wreck my source's, but I don't think so. I think we're right on the mark here.

Just from what I've recently learned about the toy industry, I'd cite these as actual confirmations versus rumors. They're not "rumors" and all should be proven in a couple of weeks. But I'm not actually enjoying being the barer of the news.

Yeah, I was trying to organize the figure lists into groups by movie and I put Trinto Duaba twice. I am correcting that now, so Jargo's post may seem irrelevant. Dice Ebegon is the pack-in with Trinto Duaba. That's how it should have read.

[El Chuxter]

I don't think anyone was trying to argue your credibility. It's just that you normally don't post threads like this, and you've started several today that say these items are confirmed.

[Mr. JabbaJohnL]

Yeah, I just figured it was posted on a SW fan site I hadn't heard about or something. Since nothing is truly confirmed until Hasbro shows or mentions it, as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for listing it, though!

Well, when you gotta figure in as high demand as trinto, once Hasbro made they mold, they had to get multiples out there. Besides, who can forget all the is his cloak blue/brown debates over the last 30 years??? Attached are two pictures from the Cantina scene... who's to say which one is accurate??

[Tycho]

LOL Obi-Dad. One should come with The Lost Ark of the Covenant.

As to Chuxter's comment - it is very accurate. I don't normally do threads like this - but then I don't normally have access to all this kind of information. It happened and I knew it'd be appreciated if I didn't just keep it to myself.

I also heard that a limited number of SSGrs actually like Star Wars toys.

MAN, 2008 just keeps getting more and more pricey!!! Good thing im a millionaire!
Thanks for all the info Tycho, looking forward to comic con. Such a bummer that i no longer live in SD, wouldve been great to see in person!

By chance, did your source mention anything for the Indiana Jones line? Excited to hear whats coming for that line as well.

No. It never came up. I assume the Temple of Doom and Last Crusade figures will start showing up in stores though. I was in TRU today and the IJ section is so small I was shocked after the big swath of shelf-space it was given before. Batman has definitely taken over!
