Star Wars

If there’s one toy in Hasbro’s line of upcoming Star Wars products that I have to have, it’s the Takodana play set. It comes with Rey, Finn, BB-8 and one of my favorite characters from The Force Awakens, Maz Kanata. Yes, this will be mine.

The adult collectible Black Series line continues with some new figures. From the prequels, Jango Fett makes his debut with interchangeable heads. Rey also makes her Black Series debut along with Revan from Knights of the Old Republic and a Snowtrooper.

Sabine from Star Wars: Rebels will be the first character from the Disney XD series to be featured in the Black Series. C-3PO also joins with his red arm from The Force Awakens. And Princess Leia returns, this time in her dress from A New Hope.

In the 12-inch line of Star Wars toys, more Force Awakens characters are beginning to appear in stores. Rey, Finn, BB-8 and R2-D2 will be available soon.

A pretty awesome Tie-Fighter is also coming soon, along with a collectible Kylo Ren helmet aimed at adults.

And if you prefer your boardgames to be a little more galactic than usual, you’ll love Star Wars versions of Clue, Monopoly and Operation.

If the lineup of Star Wars products seems slight, just remember that Hasbro was not allowed to reveal any toys for Rogue One, which is where their attention is most likely focused right now. Based on the success of last year’s Force Friday, I wouldn’t be surprised if a similar event is repeated next Fall with plenty of surprise releases by Hasbro.
