The Yakface/Hasbro QnA returns this week with questions submitted on 6/24. In this session, we attempt to get a better answer regarding the Rebel Fleet Trooper’s missing holster and an attempt to get look at card art for upcoming Vintage Collection figures (denied).

Q1: Let’s try this again. Why doesn’t the new Vintage Rebel Fleet Trooper have a holster?

A1: While it’s true that some (not all) of the Rebel Fleet Troopers seen in ANH had holsters, we wanted to give the figure as much versatility as possible. In that regard we made the choice to include the hat and leg strap to make the figure also accurate to the way they appear during the Medal Ceremony.

(EDITORIAL: Then why not just include a removable holster????)

========================================

Q2: With SDCC only weeks away and news leaking (daily/weekly) through fan sites, eBay auctions, and “officially” unannounced product hitting retail shelves outside of the US (*cough* TVC Y-wing *cough*), how about throwing us an “official” bone? Can we get carded (final) images of the Vintage Collection Dr. Evazon, Ponda Baba, Bastila Shan, Nom Amor, Kithaba, Aayla Secura and the 501st Clone Trooper figures? Pretty please with sugar on top?

A2: San Diego Comic-Con is almost here…just a little while longer…
