When we get YOUR MOM!! Ha ha ha! Burn! Wait, we got your mom long ago. Ha ha ha--burn AGAIN!!
Hasbro, since you like to find the weirdest shit no one really wants and make figures of it, how long until there's a ghost of Jar Jar from the Robot Chicken Star Wars special? (Not that we want it, which is why we know you'll make it.)

Why not? People will find them. If you don't get one, too bad. Go look on e-bay.
I think the market is flooded with Darth Vaders. This weekend, I saw 7 of the TAC Vaders, and Walmart has 11 CASES (yes, an entire endcap) of the Vader w/ coin album and 8 TSC Vaders. Will you back off on Vader for a while?

Yes! We like Darth Vader too. Look out for the McQuarrie Darth Vader next month, aka the only figure from the whole line that will be a pegwarmer. Glad to see we're on the same page.
The new Ewoks are Lumat and Romba, but someone on your team thinks one of them is Warok. Will the names be fucked up on the package, or will you take five seconds and look online for their proper names?

Shit. I can't think of a good signature.

Oh, funny story here, JabbaJohnL. You see, the prototypes at Celebration IV weren't complete. Those won't be the two Ewoks we're producing, as we want to release them on the Vintage-style card. We're actually producing two different Ewoks, who will not be named on the packaging. In addition, we're going to leak information that will variously identify them as Kneesa, Chukha-Trok, Wiley, Wokling, Paddington, and even Teek. The figures will be nondescript enough that you can use your imagination as to who they really are! Isn't that going to be fun? But shhhhh. It's a secret.
Why do you tease us by releasing the Holiday Special characters who are easy repaints (animated Boba, Zutton), but refuse to release the unique characters that people might actually want (Akmeena, Lumpy, Malla, etc)?

Yes.
Do any of your design team ever get the urge to do a new Falcon instead of using the SAME sculpt from 30 fucking years ago over and over and over and over? And if they do, why won't you let them?

No, but since we love coming up with innovative new collectibles to surprise you, you'll soon see actual Vintage figures on prequel cards! Yes, you'll be able to get your hands on loving replicas of the original 1978 C-3PO (on TPM card), R2-D2 (on ROTS card), Obi-Wan (on AOTC card), and Stormtrooper (on ROTS card). We know you'll love 'em! Especially at the low price of only $15 each!
Hasbro, Ponda Baba is a really dated sculpt, and not especially accurate. There are also tons more Aqualish in the prequels. Any chance you'll make an updated Ponda, or maybe Po Nudo or one of the other Aqualish, soon?

Yes. All-new sculpts of Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan are coming in a Comic Pack. Ponda features both kinds of hands seen in the film and Dr. Evazan has an amazingly accurate face sculpt. You'll also soon be seeing Po Nudo in a Battlepack of all-new senators.
Just kidding! Didn't you get enough of these fags from your precious Robot Fucking Chicken?
Will you be making a new Spirit Yoda to match the new Anakin figure?

No spirits until you're 21, JabbaJohnL. Unless you move to Louisiana, where you can have one when you're 18. What, do you want to get us in trouble?
Not that I want it, but since you have a fetish for the stupid Infinities comics, and you've got a hard-on for Vader, how long until we see a comic two-pack with the white-armored "Good Guy Vader" from ROTJ: Infinities

Y'know, we had actually forgotten about that CGI pecker. But now that you reminded us, expect all sorts of variants like Jar Jar in Clone Armor, Jedi Apprentice Jar Jar, Sith Apprentice Jar Jar, Spirit of Jar Jar, Desert Jar Jar with Vaporator, Jar Jar in Shadow Clone Armor, Smuggler Jar Jar, and Emperor's Hand Jar Jar. And that's just the first wave!!
I am actually a tiny bit slightly impressed with your new Fantasticar, other than the fact that it's for your stupid 5" scale movie figs. What are the chances of us seeing Marvel Legends vehicles, like a Quinjet?
