Oh Hasbro, you rascally rabbits, you can’t reveal a brand new figure and then make it an exclusive a week later. Well, you can, and you seemingly did, but there may be more to the tale.
io9 has revealed all of the exclusive for Hasbro own personal convention, HasCon, and there are some nifty reveals. Like a power bank for your phone that transforms into Optimus Prime.
Or Titans Return Arcee:
A repaint of last year’s Marvel Legends Deadpool into his X-Force costume is enough to perk me up, but now I’m so focused on the Deadpool Legends wave that I don’t feel as excited as I should. Unless I see it in person. Then I’m a school girl Gotta have it!
But the one throwing me is the Star Wars Black Series Captain Rex. Revealed just last week it was said he would be the second figure in the line to tout the Photo Real process, where the facial colors are actually printed onto the figure. The first figure to use the process is Rey. But neither was slated until next year. So I’m guessing (with a little help from Veebs) that this exclusive won’t have a removable helmet. Which makes it a pretty good exclusive, if that’s true. Get this one out for the time being, a good looking Captain Rex for those who attend the show, then the main line gets the same thing with even more, like the unmasked head.
But that’s all speculation. I’m sure we’ll find out more soon enough.
EDIT: I read the article wrong, apparently. It says it’s just an early release, coming ahead of the same retail release later. So does this one have the Photo Real head? I gotta know!
