Hasbro hosted a Q&A session yesterday at Celebration IV and revealed most of the their 2007 plans. They showed the first 54 of 60 figures, announced some new vehciles, Galactic Heroes, Transformers and Exclusives. There was a lot to take in and we’ve compiled a detailed list of everything they said below. Take a deep breath before showing the full story, but just before you do…
Towards the end of the session they confirmed the pink R2-KT droid as part of a ‘very important project’. Katie wanted a droid of her own to watch over her… R2-KT was born! Katie passed away in August 2005 but her spirit lives on. Hasbro and Lucasfilm are supporting Make-a-Wish of San Diego with a $100,000 donation in Katie’s memory to the Make-a-Wish foundations of San-Diego and South Carolina. In additon, fans can also remember Katie with their very own 3.75″ R2-KT available at Comic Con in July and also at HasbroToyShop.com and StarWarsShop.com
