Shoutout the Hasbro team for hosting the fan site Hangout on Google+ this morning. There were a few interesting bits discussed for what we can expect on shelves on Sept. 30 and beyond.
Be sure to check out JediDefender, Star Wars Action News and JediNewsUK for more info gleaned from this discussion. Look for some new official toy announcements for Rogue One next week.
Since its reveal/leak, people have been curious about the pack-in display base for the 6″ Black Series Sergeant Jyn Erso (Eadu) figure. YouTube Reviewer KingofDragons has posted an in-hand review of this piece and it reveals it is an all-new base with pegs for figure’s foot holes. Jyn also includes a new E-11 blaster, her baton (collapsed), blaster pistol and removable breathing apparatus.

In an interesting move, Funko has officially revealed the POP!s packed in the Smuggler’s Bounty “Rogue One” box coming in November: Jyn Erso (Eadu “Mountain Gear”) and the Imperial Death Trooper Specialist. Since this is an official announcement, we are not considering this reveal a spoiler since these figures are also shown on the back of the POP!s packed in September’s Smuggler’s Bounty as well.
Head on over to StarWars.com for the official announcement as well as an brief QnA with Senior Product Designer, Reis O’Brien.
