Toy Fair 2012: Star Wars Movie Heroes Figures

Star Wars Movie Heroes - Darth Vader

Hasbro unveiled (yet another!) new line of Star Wars figures at Toy Fair 2012. The Star Wars Movie Heroes are a 3.75″ scale line of action figures, containing a mix of heroes and villains from both Star Wars trilogies. Highly detailed, one of the cooler aspects of this line (I think…) is that the characters that the lightsabers, for those characters that come so armed, actually light up. Yes, I’m thirty years old and I’m excited over light up action figures. The first wave of Star Wars Movie Heroes figures is a set of eight; Episode 3 Anakin Skywalker, Episode 5 Darth Vader, Episode 5 Luke Skywalker X-Wing Pilot, Episode 1 Anakin Skywalker, Episode 1 Darth Maul, Episode 1 Obi-Wan, Episode 1 Padme, and Episode 1 Qui Gon Jinn.

And, for those that are interested in such things, here’s the official description from Hasbro…

STAR WARS MOVIE HEROES 3.75” Action Figures

Hasbro is re-inventing the action figure by including action features with each favorite STAR WARS character! Look for features including amazing light-up lightsaber effects, action movements and even electronic sounds in characters like OBI-WAN KENOBI, DARTH VADER, DARTH MAUL and many more!
