Report from U.K. Toy Fair Posted By Dustin on January 28, 2002
MattYUK has checked in with this summary of E2 toys he just saw at the U.K. Toy Fair.
"I've just returned from the UK Toy Fair and there were plenty of spoiler-filled items at the Hasbro stand. On display were the following 3-3/4" figures in their cool new packaging:
Zam Wesell Padme Amidala (Arena Escape) Anakin Skywalker (Outland Peasant Disguise) Jango Fett Battle Droid Super Battle Droid Boba Fett (standard and deluxe) Tusken Raider w/child C-3PO (with attachable coverings) R2-D2 Taua We Orn Free Ta Shaak Ti Mace Windu Obi-Wan Kenobi (Coruscant Chase) Count Dooku Padme The Reek
Vehicles for the 3-3/4" figures included Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter, Slave 1 (with new paint job), Anakin's speeder and Zam Wesell's speeder. The new Star Wars Unleashed series was present, as were a bunch of electronic games and toys.
Both Anakin's and Count Dooku's full-size light sabres were there to be played with, along with 12" figures of Anakin, Obi-Wan and Clone Trooper.
Most impressive (unbelievably) was the Episode II Monopoly set! Why? Well, the box, the board and the cards all featured real spoiler material I'd never seen before such as pics of the Jedi Library, Yoda brandishing a light sabre, Clone Troopers in action. Republic Gunships, Dooku's Solar Sail and more.
