The Star Wars film is one of the most popular space opera franchise. It was received very well by both its fans and critics. Soon afterward, it was expanded to books, toys, video games, comics, themed areas, and also theme park attractions. This film is not only adored by children but adults as well. No wonder it won the Guinness World Records for being the most successful merchandising franchise.
With every great film comes its action figures and this is where Hasbro comes in. Hasbro is a renowned toy company that has been in business for a long time and they own the license for some of the huge Disney brands. They released the first Star Wars action figure in 1977 after Hasbro acquired Kenner.
Their latest release is the Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures Wave 2 figures. These figures are aimed at the younger audience although even adult Star Wars collectors will love them. They immerse the children into the Star Wars world where they can recreate their own version of this series and re-live some of their best moments in a child-friendly way.
Hasbro has gone a mile further and paired these action figures with a mini-comic illustrating a specific iconic moment of the stars. While Wave 1 included Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, and Chewbacca, the newest edition Wave 2 consists of Yoda, Han Solo, Imperial Stormtrooper, and Princess Leia. They also come in a beautiful, contemporary, and kid-friendly packaging. These are sure to evoke some sweet memories from your younger days.
The package comes in an elegant tubular shape which is a chic way of presenting it thus making the recipient get a special feeling. The mini-comic can easily be wrapped around the rear side of the figure and therefore, there is no need to fold it. When you slide your figure out, you will expose a booklet with a rear. There is also a sweet twist that comes with each figure: there is a hidden accessory that can only be accessed after you fully open it.
More surprises await you as Yoda, Luke, and Darth Vader come with lightsabers. On the other hand, you will find blasters accompanying your Han Solo, Leia, and Imperial Stormtrooper action figures. Those with Chewbacca should expect to find a bowcaster. The icing on the cake is two clip-on flames that come with R2-D2. You can attach these to the figure’s arms making the illusion that your figure is hovering.
Hasbro has also made every humanoid figure poseable at their shoulders, neck, and hips. How cool is that! R2-D2 can easily turn his head and move his hands either back or forward. He also has wheels that are attached at the bottom of his feet.
Hasbro has gone over and above to ensure children and adults alike get to relish their Star Wars memories by making these action figures resemble the actual actors.
