Rumor Report: New Force Link 2.0 with Exclusive The Last Jedi Figure(s)

Leave a comment

In my searches for new, unannounced products* today I managed to find a listing for an item that includes 5 Force Link 2.0 figures. It is unknown if it is another playset or a simple figure multipack but it includes at least one exclusive figure – Holographic Maz Kanata, plus Rey (Island Journey), Kylo Ren, a First Order Stormtrooper and Poe. I will share more details such as price and availability when possible.

*All rumors are unofficial and subject to cancellation by the manufacturer. No proprietary (non-public) information was used in the assemblage of this report.
