Tomorrow morning I leave for Comic-Con and I'm currently swamped with last minute prep - but I felt I had to post something about the awesome Hasbro Star Wars Comic-Con exclusive that arrived yesterday.

The hexagon-shaped box features a new action figure from each film in the series, in a box meant to evoke the famous carbon freezing chamber from The Empire Strikes Back. The action figure cards are a fun "What If?" choice, based on a design Kenner considered but didn't go with back in the day, using the alternate Star Wars logo seen on other merchandise at time. The selection of characters is something of a hodgepodge: Jar Jar Binks for Phantom Menace, a Clone Trooper Lieutenant for Attack of the Clones, a Shock Trooper for Revenge of the Sith, a Sandtrooper for A New Hope, Princess Leia (in her Bespin outfit) for The Empire Strikes Back and Darth Vader (looking all, "Oh crap, I just got Force Lightninged") for Return of the Jedi. There's a bit of a theme with the three generations of Stormtroopers, but the other three don't really match.Overall though, this is a great followup to last year's SDCC exclusive, which had another "Could have been" bit of packaging, with the Revenge of the Sith carded figures inside a Death Star-shaped case.But the most fun draw for the carbonite freezer set is the hidden seventh figure it comes with. Which is revealed by opening a panel on the top of the box, by pulling out the Phantom Menace title piece...Wait for it...And it's...That's right, it's a Jar Jar in Carbonite action figure! Oh, glorious day.This very special and amusing Star Wars set is available at San Diego Comic-Con at the Hasbro booth. Suffice to say, expect some serious lines.
