Hasbro Fan Site Q&A - Session 6 (December 12, 2023)

@SWTVC was pleased to be invited to join in the most recent round of Hasbro Q&As with Chris and Jing from the Hasbro Star Wars brand team. We asked a few burning questions from the community, as did some other fan sites. Lots of good little insights throughout this roundtable interview.

Evan-PHENOMENAL questions today!! Especially the answer on the troop builders and your last question on the 2-packs!! Well done!! Representing TVC well amongst all those Black Series people.

[@SWTVC]

Thanks! I wish I could take all the credit, but my wonderful teammates crafted these asks together (except the 2 pack question I threw out there at the end 😂) while looking at feedback from our IG community. Overall, I found Chris and Jing’s enthusiasm and responses to be encouraging, and I think there some good nuggets in there!

Great job Evan and the SWTVC team. Really respect you guys for starting March Madness for TVC, now we have Last Figure Standing, too. Compare that to the other scale that wants Hasbro to run a fan poll for them. The world building scale 3.75" gets it done!

id defiantly love Black Series diorama/set pieces but id rather just pay a 3d printer online then pay Hasbro price hike for a section of wall. To SWTVC love these talks and getting to see them respond. Like in politics its almost what they DONT say that's more important

[@delvianseek]

Thank you Evan & SWTVC team, good questions and answers

[@hinyjanorm5489]

I suggest a Crab-droid from the Utapau battle in scale. The ones that fought the 212 Batallion, the most popular clone batallon. The original that came with the revenge of the sith deluxe line was way to big in order to accommodate a lame "movable legs" gimmick. Please skip any motor function and keep it in scale. The original design from Revenge of the Sith is brilliant and has never been properly captured for the 3 3/4 inch scale line.

Ask them about TVC cardbacks next time. I've watched a couple (u guys & the one RyanDoell was in) and noone mentioned it. Maybe a question about alternative cards w/ a classic yellow sheet on the back for non CA/UK/etc areas. Mattel has different versions for MotU for instance. I rarely say this, but I'd happily pay an extra buck for that if the option was available by say FanChannels. I feel like this could be solved by distributors, as I'm positive that Hasbro wouldn't want to sully their hands with the extra work of 2x dif cardbacks

[@jontuell5338]

Good job. Best questions of the vid call. Plz, plz quit complimenting the 2packs. It's just another way to squeeze money out of us. These packs do not have extras or added paint apps. It's just a stupid way to charge us $40 for $34 worth of figures. Notice how excited she got when you all praised them.

[@SWTVC]

Thank you. Respectfully, while I don’t love the price (I don’t really love the price of any TVC product right now…), I really like the concept of the 2 packs to get characters that go together in one shot, and I’m not going pretend that I am not excited by things they could do with them. I genuinely do love the OWK set, and if I have to pay an extra $6 for figures they otherwise cannot or will not slot into the mainline for whatever reason (with a surprising amount of new tooling, such as the Obi-Wan pack), I can live with that. I wasn’t trying to speak for anyone, just expressing my own love for the 2 pack idea while curious how it’s performing for them. -Evan

@@SWTVC I also like the 2 packs but not the price! One thing though is I want them to always be unpuched cardbacks I think the Kenobi & Vader pack was punched I think. I haven't got mine yet they're in my pile of loot patiently waiting! 2 packs are great because they are extra figures we wouldn't of had as it's not a wave so they can pop them out whenever.

[@SWTVC]

The OWK packs are unpunched :)

[@joep84]

Who invited “Volker”? Good god man, what’d he expect? Them to say Baylen and Shin are coming next week… rube.

[@mcbreezy1568]

Fr dude they were asking some useless questions

[@StarkIller-df7gw]

So many silly questions asked thankfully SWTVC asked some good questions!

[@volkerc]

LMAO. Who said Baylan and Shin are coming next week? Besides it is Baylan and not "Baylen" Who would even vote for them in a poll? Some of you people really think they know everything. The arrogance is just mind blowing coming from a facebook page that claim they have 20000 followers and can't barely get votes or comments together talk half an hour whining and complaining about a Deluxe Jango and the pack-ins not even realizing the helmet is all wrong. Rocket scientists.

me look for TheLastCloneCustoms I order off of him be for I would like to get more

[@McCoyFromSpace]

The last stream he wasted half of it slowing everyone down with technical difficulties. Ridiculous.
