As the wise Jedi Master Yoda once told Luke Skywalker: "Size matters not." That couldn't be more true than with Hasbro's new line of
Star Wars collectibles, Micro Force — "super-small and super-cute takes on our favorite heroes and villains of a galaxy far, far away."
The line covers the entire Star Wars saga, with the first wave (arriving in December) featuring Han Solo, Stormtrooper, Ahsoka Tano, Darth Vader, R2-D2, Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, Wicket, Princess Leia, C-3PO, Chewbacca, and Yoda. Wave two will feature Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jyn Erso, Rey, Finn, BB-8, Yoda, Captain Phasma, Darth Maul, Death Trooper, TIE Fighter Pilot, the Emperor, and Kylo Ren. Hasbro's senior manager of Global Brand Marketing Andy Ochiltree suggests future waves could include figures from
The Last Jedi and even the stand-alone
Star Wars films.
As you can see from the promo images, the characters in Mi aren't donning their most obvious costumes. Rather, Han is seen in his Hoth outfit, while Finn is still in his stormtrooper gear.
"We try to offer a fresh take on Star Wars characters throughout our product line in a way that’s going to resonate with fans," explained Andy Ochiltree.
"The Hoth outfit for Han is a great example of that. In addition to making sure fans are receiving the figures they want, we think it’s important that there’s an element of surprise in the collection. Our aim is to include unique characters that fans had no idea they even needed in their collections! With the new cute and fun styling, it allows us to explore all kinds of options for characters."
For those of you who enjoy the blind bag game, each pack retails for $2.99 and comes with two figures and a collector card.
