Rebel Spy: Not Your Father's Collection 1
 Posted By Dustin on February 1, 2002
Since the demise of the Commtech chip, Hasbro changes their philosophy towards "pack-ins" for the new line, especially when it comes to the "basic" assortment of Collection 1. Although the Power of the Jedi Force Files received good feedback from collectors, mostly since they didn't raise prices (well, for the most part), they too eventually were relegated to the dust bins of pack-ins past. For the assortment based on Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Hasbro heeds collector demands for pack-in accessories that make sense and are actually seen in the movie. The folks from Rhode Island also add a lot more action and playability to the line, especially for their "basic" Collection 1 assortment, meant for newcomers to the film and children. With ultra-realistic Real Scan detail and cool action features that represent Hasbro's commitment to raising the bar for their action figure line, yet remaining true to the film and its vision, the newly christened Star Wars Saga assortment looks to be a winner. It's certainly not 1977 anymore, and even 1999 seems far far away. Here's a breakdown of the first wave of Collection 1 figures:
Anakin Skywalker "Outland Peasant Disguise" 02/01 Weapons and Accessories: Lightsaber, Removable Poncho, and Crate Features Pull out lightsaber With Force action, move hand over container- lid opens Place hand on weapon- weapon is force attracted to hand
Padme Amidala "Arena Escape" 02/02 Weapons and Accessories: Break Apart Arena Column, Blaster, Restraining Chains Features Twist waist to lower her arm then release waist. Her arms swings up for quick draw action.
Obi-Wan Kenobi "Coruscant Chase" 02/03 Weapons and Accessories: Lightsaber, ASN-121 Assassin Droid Features Hold right hand over lightsaber/weapon is Force attracted to hand. Place right hand on droid/hand attaches to droid Figure can also hold lightsaber in left hand.
C-3P0 Protocol Droid "With Removable Panels" 02/04 Weapons and Accessories: Removable Panels, Crate Features Attach panels to "finish" droid.
Kit Fisto Jedi Master "With Force Action" 02/05 Weapons and Accessories:Lightsaber Features Pull back left arm and release to attack with lightsaber. Hold right hand over lightsaber/weapon is Force attached to hand.
Super Battle Droid "With Exploding Battle Damage" 02/06 Weapons and Accessories: Super Arm, Projectile, Energy Bolt Features Press trigger on droid's back/ head, body and arms pop off.

Jango Fett Kamino Escape "With Missile Firing Jet Pack" 02/13 Weapons and Accessories: Removable helmet, grappling hook, Mitrinomon Z-6 jetpack, double blasters Features Insert missile into jetpack. Push to fire.
R2-D2 Coruscant Sentry "Try Me! Electronic Alert!" 02/14 Weapons and Accessories: Kouhuris Assassin Centipedes Features Press button for robotic sounds and light
As we reported earlier, the new numeric designation on the cards represents the film/figure release sequence, since the new Saga assortment will represent all films from both the prequels and original trilogy. For example, Anakin Skywalker is classified as 02/01, specifying that this particular figure is seen in the second film of the saga, Episode II:Attack of the Clones, and is the #1 figure in the assortment. Here is the first wave of Collection 2's numeric sequence, which rounds out the lot:
Boba Fett Kamino Escape 02/07 Tusken Raider Female with Tusken Child 02/08 Captain Typho "Padme's Head of Security" 02/09 Shaak Ti "Jedi Master" 02/10 Battle Droid "Arena Battle" 02/11 Plo Koon "Arena Battle" 02/12You can read our previous report on AOTC Collection 2 figures by clicking here.
