2011 Toy Fair: Hasbro Press Images & Info

Jay Cochran - February 12, 2011
For more than 30 years, Hasbro, Inc. has been the worldwide — and galactic — leader in bringing the action, epic battles and characters of “a galaxy far, far away” into homes and backyards around the world. In 2011, Hasbro continues to bring the excitement of the STAR WARS blockbuster movies and the highly-rated STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS animated series to life with innovative new role-play items, action figures and vehicles.

Generations of STAR WARS fans have experienced the Force through Hasbro’s iconic role-play toys. Now, the Force will grow even stronger within them as they experience all the newest STAR WARS role-play gear, beginning with a revolutionary kids’ LIGHTSABER: the new ULTIMATE FX LIGHTSABER. The toy features a progressive light up blade that includes vibrant LED lighting and authentic sounds, offering young Padawans one of the most realistic JEDI experiences yet!

In addition to the out-of-this-galaxy role-play line, Hasbro is also introducing the first-ever STAR WARS TRANSFORMERS figure to feature four modes in one toy! The figure converts into both ANAKIN SKYWALKER and DARTH VADER, and can also be turned into a REPUBLIC ATTACK CRUISER or a STAR DESTROYER, the signature vessel of the Imperial fleet.

In 2011, fans of STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS will be delighted by a bevy of new characters in the STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS line, and the new REPUBLIC ATTACK SHUTTLE, the signature vehicle from the animated series, which also converts into an armored attack base playset. And long-time brand enthusiasts can continue to expand their collection with all new incredible waves of the VINTAGE collection being introduced throughout the year.
