Coming this Fall: Galactic Heroes!
April 27, 2004
Here comes a line of toys perfect for the youngest fans, but with such a fresh and unique style that older collectors are sure to want to play too -- the Galactic Heroes collection from Hasbro.
Continuing the adorable styling and rugged playability of the Playskool Star Wars Big Adventures line that debuted in 2002, Star Wars Galactic Heroes are the perfect way for youngsters to develop new and exciting tales set in a galaxy far, far away. This new line set to debut this fall includes three waves of paired action figures, ready for adventure.
Wave one focuses on the heroes of the original trilogy. With many youngsters being introduced to the saga by this fall's DVD release, these figures are coming out just in time. Young Rebel hero Luke Skywalker comes with his trusty astromech sidekick, R2-D2. The ever-bickering Han Solo and Princess Leia come together as a set. The former-friends-turned-enemies Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader are paired together. For repairing the Falcon, you can trust Chewbacca the Wookiee and C-3PO to get the job done.
The second wave of figures spotlights characters from Attack of the Clones. The young lovers Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker are paired together, the Jedi Master Yoda comes with a well-armored clone trooper, and young Obi-Wan Kenobi is set to square off against the bounty hunter Jango Fett.
The third wave features bounty hunters from The Empire Strikes Back. The assassin droid IG-88 comes with the insect-faced alien Zuckuss. The armored Boba Fett comes with the bandage-wrapped Dengar. The lizard-like Bossk comes with the bug-eyed 4-LOM.
These figures were originally planned as an exclusive, but instead will be made available at most major toy retailers. Also coming this fall is the return of the Millennium Falcon, now in Galactic Heroes packaging. This great toy features authentic Star Wars sound effects, "firing" laser cannons, and comes with three figures: Han Solo, Chewbacca and C-3PO.
Looks great. I've got to get the Yoda and the Clone Trooper,Obi-Wan and Jango and Vader and Obi-Wan.

I think they did a really good job on the pairing. each pakage is two figures that somewhat go together, insted of putting one high demand in with one low demand.
That is except for Boba Fett, they put him in with the most obscure charater on the whole list.

I have to disagree that Dengar is the most obscure character there. He has been present in a lot of EU that involves Boba Fett. Just about all the other bounty hunters have little more than what we saw of them in ESB, even in the EU. I have to say that their pairing is a great one, though I intend to add all of these to my collection.

Hey, I just read Fett's message and I noticed a change in the Falcon playset from the first one to the Galactic Heroes version! It doesn't mention a Stormtrooper with the playset coming out this fall! I am so glad I got my hands on the original version, now I just have to find one for my little one to play with. I think I will buy 2 of all the 2 figure sets I can find so that she has ones to play with and her interest in SW will continue to grow.

You're right Spook, the box art doesn't show a Stormtrooper either, so it's not just a mistake in the text.
Strange, I wonder why they left him out.

There's also not an ST in the 2 figure pairs either. The one thing I was just noticing is the lack of bad guys with sabers. There was a Darth Maul for the Ep1 set, wasn't there? I would have loved to have seen a Count Dooku in the Ep2 pairings. I hope this line does really well as there are a lot of other figures that they could make. Snowtroopers, Emperor, IRGs, Lando, Imp Officers, etc, etc, etc...
