New Hasbro Vehicles Kick Off Star Wars Celebration!

For the next few days, Orlando, Florida is the center of the universe, as fans the world over flock to Star Wars Celebration - a massive exposition, trade show, and well... "celebration" of all things Star Wars. George Lucas is there in person, and there will be uncountable fan events and reveals, with tomorrow's release of the very first The Last Jedi trailer leading the pack.

Toy company Hasbro has a few new goodies on display, and are continuing their emphasis on 6-inch Black Series figures, with two new collector-friendly vehicles: First, we've got a brand new version of "Farmboy" Luke Skywalker, with his iconic Landspeeder. Nice ride! It's got a plastic stand to simulate hovering, and Luke comes with new accessories, including the desert hat he wore in the filmed-but-deleted scenes. Looks pretty nice!

Then from The Force Awakens, a similar scale depiction of Rey's Speeder, along with a new version of Rey in her desert scavenger outfit from the beginning of the film. The detailing and features on these two vehicles is great and a definite step in the right direction for Hasbro. Here's hoping for plenty of more reveals, and maybe some surprises in the neglected 3.75-inch figure range!

Celebration is just getting underway, so stay tuned for lots more excitement over the next few days!

May the Force be with You!
