Hasbro San Diego Comic-Con Panel

Hasbro held their SDCC panel today and made some interesting announcements. The most jarring, however, was the announcement that there will not be a Celebration VI exclusive. Droid Factory, as leaked on Wednesday, is in fact making a comeback and an often requested character is making an exclusive appearance at Brian’s Toys. Below is an outline of the new stuff that was announced today. We’ll be updating and clarifying as additional information becomes available.

The Legacy Collection is making a comeback as the official name for the new collector line. Movie Heroes and Clone Wars will continue but no new product was shown in the presentation. Droid Factory is back with 1 or 2 new figures per wave. They announced “over 30 figures in 2013” but we need clarification if that’s for the year, only counting new figures or maybe just for spring.
