Head on over to Screencrush for an interview they recently held with Hasbro product designer Keysha Ramos who is working on the line of toys as part of Lucasfilm’s new animated “Forces Of Destiny” micro-series that was announced during Celebration Orlando.
Forty years ago, Star Wars exploded onto the scene, and pop culture was never the same. From the moment the first film hit the screens, the phenomenon that was Star Wars could hardly be contained. There were movies, books, comics, stickers, trading cards, socks, pajamas, and all manner of products with the epic sci-fi saga flooding stores and homes around the globe. Most of all, there were the toys. Star Wars changed the action figure game forever in 1978, and it’s still looking for new ways to shake up the industry.
At this year’s Star Wars Celebration, Hasbro and Lucasfilm announced a new venture that would combine toys, comics, and animated shorts into one new brand called Star Wars: Forces of Destiny. Following similar concepts from the likes of DC Super Hero Girls, Forces of Destiny’s main focus was new dolls with a focus on articulation and action rather than lifestyle and fashions. We spoke with Forces of Destiny’s product designer Keysha Ramos to learn more about the figures, and what makes now the right time for such a line.
