New York Comic Con is one of the fastest growing sci-fi and comic conventions in the country. Run by ReedPop, the convention organizers behind Chicago’s C2E2 and Star Wars Celebrations 5 and 6, this year they attracted a major Star Wars presence, with Hasbro making their first official New York Comic Con appearance, as well as Hallmark who brought along another Keepsake Ornament exclusive!
For your enjoyment, Hasbro has passed on to us their Star Wars Presentation from last week’s New York Comic-Con. Click on through to check out some of what’s coming in 2012 then discuss what you think in our forums.

In Star Wars Action News‘ QnA session this week with Hasbro, they’ve received word that the Saga Legends line of basic figure will cease in 2011 and be replaced with something new called “Movie Heroes” when the line refreshes in 2012. An interesting development for sure – I’d expect to hear more about this next month at NYCC.
First teased at SDCC back in July, Hasbro officially announces their attendance at New York Comic Con October 13-16. Click through for the press release…
