Introducing The New 2013 Star Wars Star Tours Action Figure Packs from Hasbro

    Hasbro sends word tonight of two Disney theme park exclusive action figures sets, coming in 2013, just in time for Star Wars Weekends in May!

    The celebration of the amazing new Star Tours Disney theme park ride continues in 2013 with new STAR WARS Star Tours Action Figure Packs from Hasbro. Building off of the packs released in 2011, these two sets of figures introduce new Droids from the ride experience as well as a few reprised fan favorites. New figures include a blue Signal Droid, red RX Droid, a G2 Droid rebuilt from scratch for more accurate detail, and the very first appearance of a new Seeker Droid! These packs launch in May 2013 at Walt Disney World- Hollywood Studios during STAR WARS Weekends and will be available at Walt Disney World stores in Florida and Disneyland Resort stores in California shortly thereafter. Experience the magic of the ride and then relive the action with the STAR WARS Star Tours Action Figure Packs!

    (Item# A0416) STAR WARS® Star Tours™: Search for the Rebel Spy

    • Included Figures: Signal Droid, Seeker Droid, Imperial Sky Trooper

    (Item# A0417) STAR WARS® Star Tours™: Sector 2 Security

    • Included Figures: G2 Droid, C-3PO, RX Droid

    Each pack sold separately.

    The figures in each set are either repaints or minor kit-bashes, and many have been included in earlier exclusive boxed sets before. It’s been over a decade since the G2 droid and RX Droid have been available, and it looks like there have been some minor changes made to each figure. The Signal Droid is a repaint. There is another Seeker Droid is also coming in a new Mission Series 2-pack, although there appears to be a lot more to this droid. C-3PO and the Sky Trooper appear to be repacks.
