While it was mentioned briefly in StarWars.com’s article showcasing new products ahead of the start of Toy Fair NY 2020 earlier today, io9 dives into much deeper detail on Hasbro’s new kid-centered Star Wars Mission Fleet series of vehicles. We’re expecting to learn/see more about this new vehicle line during Hasbro’s Brand Preview event at Toy Fair NY on Saturday, but for the time being, head on over to io9 for the initial lowdown.
Star Wars toys are all about getting the characters we love in playable plastic format, but really, from Kenner Troop Transports to Micro Machines, some of our fondest memories are of getting those glorious vehicles to shove said characters into. And that’s what Hasbro’s latest Star Wars toy line is all about, in very cute fashion.
Aimed at younger fans of the galaxy far, far away than perhaps diehard collectors with shelves full of Black Series action figures—although maybe even they cannot resist the allure of Baby Yoda—Star Wars: Mission Fleet will celebrate all vehicular corners of the Star Wars galaxy, from the movie trilogies to TV shows like The Mandalorian and Clone Wars. The line pairs 2.5″-scaled little figurines with chibi-fied takes on ships, speeders, and walkers from across the saga. Take a look at the first wave of Mission Fleet vehicles hitting shelves later this year below, making their debut exclusively here on io9!
