Thanks to MMF's Grak for this info, as he has a source who toured Hasbro and heard a rumor of a Padme Mugg. Confirmed boxed versions of Qui-gon, Scout Trooper, Hoth Luke, Royal Guard and Wampa, with another murmur of Ahsoka. Sounds like a fun wave there. Take it with a grain of salt, as nothing is official, but since Hasbro hasn't been making much official lately, I'd give these notes the thumbs up.

I love Star Wars just as much as the next collector, but what about the other lines. Marvel, G.I. Joes, Transformers? Marvel had re-issues in series 4, G.I. Joes had re-issues in series 2, and Transformers had re-issues in series 2. All of these lines have plenty of characters to choose from, lets quit with the re-issues and put out some new figures!

Do we know if the rumor was for Queen dressed or Padme with a pistol? I would dig both, but like episode 2 version when they are stuck in the pit with the different beast. Might look too much like Leia with different hair though.

That's all that was said, unfortunately.

Padme is literally just a rumor at this point. Nothing to substantiate it. I really hope it is the Geonosis Arena version but we will have to see.

Well, note that Insider never spots Marvel Muggs and these SW leaks are just that: leaks. It seems the Indy/SW Muggs are separate from the Marvel/Joe/TF ones, sadly, so there's probably just as many in those lines, they're just not being leaked.

Hahaha... I guess I'm the source as Grak asked me this info. I told him that I only report what I see in boxes, and that Ahsoka and Padme were just rumors that I heard... I'm only able to check out the SW Room so that's why I haven't been able to report on any Marvel or other lines... Hopefully I'm not causing any trouble if the Hasbro heads are monitoring this forum... |

I'd say if anything, you're boosting Hasbro's sales. |

just spoke to the manager of a Star wars shop here in Sydney and he informed me that Ashoka IS down to come out this year along with hoth luke, the imperial guard and the scout trooper, but as to when is the big question. His info came from Hasbro Australia.
