Hasbro: Star Wars: Clone Wars
STAR WARS ADVENTURES CONTINUE IN 2003 WITH NEW CLONE WARS STORYLINE AND ACTION FIGURES FROM HASBRO
Star Wars has been a favorite of fans, young and old, for more than a quarter of a century and Hasbro continues to replicate the excitement of the epic saga with a new line of authentically detailed action figures, vehicles and lightsabers.
As kids and collectors continue to enjoy re-living the adventure of the Star Wars saga through Hasbro's toy line, they will be excited with the news of new Clone Wars-themed toys and entertainment in 2003. Clone Wars is Lucasfilm's story of good and evil and the galactic conflict that takes place between Star Wars Episodes II and III.
Hasbro also brings to the devoted generations of Star Wars toy collectors all new ways to enhance their collections in 2003, with action figures that showcase all the detail, authenticity and wide range of characters that collectors have enjoyed in Hasbro's Star Wars line for more than 25 years.
Kids and collectors are both sure to feel the force with the following new 2003 Hasbro Star Wars products, extending their enjoyment of one of the most successful and popular entertainment properties of all time:
CLONE WARS
Yoda noted ominously at the end of Star Wars: Episode II -- "Begun, this Clone War has!" Hasbro's new Clone Wars action figures and vehicles combine what generations of kids have loved through the first five episodes of the Star Wars saga: battling action between the characters and the classic struggle between good and evil. Bridging the story of what happens between Star Wars Episode II and Episode III, Clone Wars is an imaginative continuation of the story line developed by George Lucas -- the tale of galactic conflict between the Republic Army and the Droid Armies. The fascinating new line, which will be available in the fall, features figures that are loaded with mission-specific gear and vehicles from the Clone Wars fantasy.
Clone Wars Basic Figures (Approximate retail price: $4.99)
The basic figures in the Clone Wars collection include new versions of key characters kids loved in Episode II with cool gear like the STARFIGHTER PILOT ANAKIN, ready to lead the clone armies into the battle. Also in the line are new villains to battle the Jedi. Nine Clone Wars figures are planned for 2003 including new versions of YODA and MACE WINDU.
Clone Wars Multi-Packs (Approximate retail price: $9.99)
Beginning in the fall, kids and collectors can begin building up their troops for mass battle action with three-packs of clones, droids and Jedi figures. Additional figures include DESTROYER DROID with launcher, a new Bounty Hunter with SPEEDERBIKE, and NEW CLONE COMMANDO with SPEEDERBIKE.
Clone Wars Vehicles
No Star Wars battle is complete without the awesome firepower and thrilling maneuvers of iconic vehicles. Elevating the conflict between the Republic and the Separatists in the Clone Wars, Hasbro plans to offer six different authentically detailed vehicles that fit the 3-3/4 inch figures, each loaded with working action features and battle weapons:
CLONE WARS REPUBLIC GUNSHIP (Approximate retail price: $29.99) The biggest of the Clone Wars vehicles! The clone army's most powerful battle machine, the heroic REPUBLIC GUNSHIP has a new Clone Wars look. The handle on top allows kids to transport the action anywhere and launch into battle with its firing laser cannons, a deployable troop platform, opening canopy, and rotating wing blasters.
VEHICLE ASSORTMENT (Approximate retail price: $19.99) The Clone Wars battles take place on the ground and in the air. These five great vehicles enable you to recreate the action on both. The Geonosian fighters are back in the Clone Wars to battle against the Republic. THE GEONOSIAN FIGHTER vehicle comes with an exclusive GEONOSIAN PILOT figure featuring blast-out side cannons. The "HAILFIRE" DROID recreates the massive firepower seen in the Episode II scenes with eight firing missiles on each side of the vehicle. Also available is the new ANAKIN SKYWALKER STARFIGHTER, a suped-up, maxed-out starfighter that Anakin has enhanced with firepower and speed. Two additional vehicles will be available, including the ARMORED ASSAULT TANK (AAT) and a new JEDI STARFIGHTER, first seen in the deleted scenes of the Episode II DVD.
