James C. Droids Facts
April 18, 2013 - Here's a small update to the previous post. Kea Moll's unusual blaster is not the only one of it's kind seen in Droids, as this alien seen here seems to be sporting a smaller but similar model. This scene takes place in the episode titled 'Coby and the Starhunters'.
James C. Droids Facts
April 16, 2013 - Blasters are rarely seen in Droids. Let me rephrase that. Blasters that look like blasters are rarely seen in Droids. But that doesn't mean that there were no lethal laser blasting weapons. Take Kea Moll's weapon for instance. This weapon was only seen in the first episode of Droids, but it's quite the elaborate contraption. Shoulder mounted, viewscreen targeting system, and from the looks of things, possibly capable of firing from the back as well. Kea looks like she's well stocked up with grenades or charges that she uses to load her blaster, and would be a pretty scary sight for anyone to come face to face with. Quite a first appearance on the show for Kea! I have no idea who came up with the idea for this weapon, but it sure looks like they had fun designing it!

James C. Looking Forward, Looking to the Past
February 11, 2013 - Well this is interesting! Hasbro has revealed at the 2013 New York Toy Fair that going forward, the Saga Legends line will be modeled after the original 1977-1985 Star Wars figures. Figures will have the nostalgic 5 points of articulation, and according to a report from GalacticHunter.com, will use "the same type of PVC plastic used on the original Kenner figures. So if you end up collecting and displaying them, not only will the articulation harken back to the era, but it will feel like your old vintage action figure to the touch."Another feature of these is that they will sell at a much lower price point, $5.99 US, than The Black Series (the new name for the main, super articulated line), which will retail at $9.99 US.
So like the original Star Wars figures, these figures will for the most part sculpted without an action pose, and will all be able to sit in vehicles. Also on Toy Fair, I haven't seen any reports of new Droids or Ewoks TV series related products in all the coverage from the various fan sites. Expanded Universe and Clone Wars figures are being scaled back right now, with the Clone Wars animated line being cancelled. It sounds like Clone Wars figures will still be made in realistic style with 5 points of articulation in the new Saga Legends line. Could characters from the Droids or Ewoks TV series ever show up in this format? It's impossible to say at this point, but this could be the ideal format for them. Low price point = lower risk for Hasbro. The style would also fit in well with the original Droids and Ewoks figures. Will it happen? Who knows, but in the mean time, these Saga Legends figures bring something new to modern Star Wars collecting, that carries with it a fun old-school feel and a price point that should make parents and collectors happy.
