Hasbro’s senior design director for Star Wars (and Marvel), Steve Evans has posted on a few social media posts that they (Star Wars brand team) plan on “pulling back on pipelines” to preserve “a surprise for figure reveals once in a while“. I think this is a good move as presentations have been a bit telegraphed with expected announcements in recent years. I think this also gives the team more flexibility with how/when they show collectors new product and not be so locked in because as they say “always in motion is the future”.

Steve Evans (MrStevie18) has rejoined the Hasbro Star Wars brand team for 2024 and one of his first public contributions is the creation of this great 11″x17″ Retro Collection poster/checklist reminiscent of the original Kenner card backs. It is available for high-res download at his site.
Hasbro’s Steve Evans has moved on from his role as Design Director for Star Wars toys to Creative Director for Hasbro Consumer Products. He made the announcement via his Instagram account earlier today.
Best of luck Steve!
