For all Star Wars / Clone Wars fans and collectors, here's a short overview of the new thrilling items you can expect to be released in 2010 by the main Star Wars merchandise manufacturers - Hasbro, Gentle Giant and LEGO. Obviously, the total number of new releases does not let me provide a comprehensive guide, so I am picking up a few items I personally find most likely to become bestsellers in the approaching year.
Hasbro Star Wars / Clone Wars toys 2010
Legacy Collection Action Figures Wave 12 Rev. 1 - coming in March 2010
This set includes 12 individually packaged 3 3/4-inch scale plastic action figures with various accessories, articulated wrists, removable helmets and other fascinating details. The range of characters spans the whole Star Wars saga - there's some elderly favorites like Episode I Obi Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker and stormtrooper together with new faces including Gungan Warrior with Horn or Plo Koon with removable facemask and others.
Clone Wars Vehicle and Figure Packs Wave 5 - coming in January 2010
The set includes 4 individually packaged sets consisting of a vehicle + the matching action figure in the 3 3/4 inch scale:
Obi-Wan Kenobi with Freeco Bicycle
Barc Speeder with Commander Cody
Anakin Skywalker with Desert Sport Skiff
Clone Scout with AT-RT
LEGO Star Wars / Clone Wars sets 2010
LEGO Star Wars 8088 ARC-170 Starfighter - coming in January 2010
An brilliant high-detail model of a space fighter features in 'Revenge of the Sith'. The set includes mini figures of Captain Jag, Kit Fisto, Clone Pilot, and R4-P44.
LEGO Star Wars 8086 Tri-Fighter Droid - coming in January 2010
A 268-piece set of three droids and giant starfighter including Rocket Battle Droid Commander and 2 Rocket Battle Droids.
Gentle Giant Star Wars / Clone Wars busts and statues 2010
This was the most difficult section to select from, because there is a lot brilliant stuff they can be looking forward to. After cautious consideration, my personal favorites (both in this section and overall) would be:
Slave Leia in Metal Bikini Mini Bust - coming in May 2010
I am sure this one is going to be a giant hit, not because of the brilliant level of detail and workmanship. This limited edition polystone resin statue comes hand numbered with an official certificate of authenticity.
Star Wars R2-D2 Statue - coming in June 2010
The final R2-D2 astromech droid 1:6 scale polystone hand painted statue with 'insane level of detail'. It features opening panels, removable arms, 8 pieces of accessories including utility saw, periscope scanner, mechanical gripper and more. Again, it is a limited addition with each item hand numbered with an identical certificate of authenticity.
