Posts: 795 10/19/08 1:22 PM	Tags : None Since most of the discussion here is geared towards the literary end of Star Wars I don't know how many will be interested in this but here goes: For all the fans of the Yuuzhan Vong there will be an action figure of one in 2009 bundled in with Kyle Katarn for a comic pack. Hasbro's answer also confirms a certain Vongish Sith Lord from Legacy as well. This comes from TheJawa.com: 1) When will we see the Yuuzhan Vong? As one of the biggest species to impact the Star Wars universe, I'm sure they deserve the plastic treatment. We can't get one out soon enough, as he has been in development for some time as part of a Spring '09 comic pack wave. He'll be packed out with a new Kyle Katarn figure, reprinting the great story from Star Wars Tales #21. There will be a second Vong, of sorts, when we also debut a comic pack featuring Darth Krayt, also in Spring 2009. The long wait for both of these awesome packs will be well worth it. This next question comes from Rebelscum.com and deals with Nom's favorite Dark Lady of the Sith as well as confirming that Master K'Kruhk will be available at the end of the year in the Expanded Universe wave: Rebelscum: I was wondering if you had any updates on some figures that you've already confirmed for us, like if they'll be in comic packs, basic figure line, Evolutions, when they'll be released...pictures if possible! 1. K'kruhk 2. Lumiya 3. Exar Kun 4. Kyle Katarn 5. Vong Warrior Hasbro: Sorry, we do not have any pictures for you. Kyle Katarn and Yuzhong Vong, from Star Wars Tales 21, will be up first in a Spring 2009 comic pack, followed a wave later by both a Luke/Lumiya pack and an Exar Kun/Ulic Qel-Droma pack. K'Kruhk will not see his debut until very late 2009 in the last basic figure wave of the year, which should tell you the theme of that wave. This comes from Jeditemplearchives.com it confirms that there will be one other Legacy comic pack for 2009, at least right now, and that the first Knight of the Old Republic comic pack should hit next year as well if the schedule holds!! Q. Of the current Dark Horse comic titles on the stands ( Knights Of The Old Republic, Dark Times, Rebellion & Legacy ), we've only seen Comic 2-pack offerings for the Legacy series. When can we expect to see some offerings for the current comic titles? And can you give us some hints about which characters might be in the running? A. We have been concentrating more on Legacy because of the amazing impact and excitement this title has brought to the EU (however, don't forget that Rebellion actually inspired the Dagger Squadron B-Wing and pilot Netrem Pollard!). As far as comic packs go from the current DH titles, the next one up will be Rebellion #3 out late this year/early 2009 featuring a pair of characters in the awesome new Rebel stealth suit. After that will be two more Legacy titles in 2009 (one which will feature Darth Krayt), and finally the first KotOR issue should be out late 2009 if the schedule holds. Now this question comes from Jediinsider.com and confirms a Nom Anor figure for 2010 in the comic pack line!! JI:In a previous Q&A segment, you guys seemed to indicate that Nom Anor would be making an appearance in plastic form in the near future. Since then, you've showered us with Crimson Empire-related love; first with the Jax/Kanos comic pack and now the upcoming Entertainment Earth exclusive set. This may be splitting hairs, but would it be safe to assume we'll be seeing our favorite Vong infiltrator sporting his armored and cloaked look as seen in the Crimson Empire series or, perhaps, do you plan on retooling [or even pre-tooling] the mold used for the now confirmed Kyle Katarn/Yuuzhan Vong warrior comic pack to offer up a more diplomatic look? This question comes from JI reader Die Fighting X. Hasbro: A Nom Anor pack did not make the list for 2009, but we can confirm that he'll be in the 2010 comic pack lineup. Now this is where the fun begins!! Darth Krayt is rumored to come with Emperor Roan Fel for the comic packs. Now on that EU wave that includes Master K'Kruhk there will be six figures in that wave and the build-a-droid figure will be a protocol droid. Right now this is how it looks 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Master K'Kruhk 6. Shaak Ti (TFU) B-A-D Now from what I have heard from sources that shall remain nameless and been able to find out on the internet Darth Vader from Battlefront II may be in this wave that leaves three open spots and the build-a-droid. My sources right now are lining this wave up like this: 1. Jacen Solo (Jedi Knight) 2. Jaina Solo (Jedi Knight) 3. Ben Skywalker (Jedi Knight) 4. Darth Vader (Battlefront II) 5. Master K'Kruhk 6. Shaak Ti (TFU) B-A-D HK-47 Remember until Hasbro confirms anything this stays a rumor!!

Posts: 2020 10/19/08 2:48 PM	But no Anakin... And don't get your hopes up too high. good chance Hasbro will mess something up. For example, they might use that NEC image for the Solo twins (and Anakin if they make him) or their YJK look, instead of NJO (which, IMO, is what they should use). Anakin Solo=BEST SW CHARACTER EVER I reserve the right to call anyone I want insane. After all, we're all insane. We all hang out on a site to discuss a Science Fiction series <------ What I strive for

In the cockpit of his StealthX heading for Hapes, Luke Skywalker felt a hand brush his hair, and as he reached out involuntarily to touch it, he knew his world had ended. ~ Luke Skywalker's reaction upon realizing his wife Mara had died

Hopefully there will be an Anakin figure later, but on the other hand, why bother? One figure isn't much of a consolation when DR has killed the character. Hopefully Ben's figure at least will be ghastly done - perhaps they could make a mistake with the colour of his hair?

But we know them only through accounts that were written centuries after their deaths. As characters in texts, partly probably based on reality, partly fictional. In the same way, when people talk about Socrates, they usually tend to mean Plato's Socrates, to a large extent fictional character especially in later writings - and occasionally Xenophon's version, or Aristophanes' mocking depiction of him. So, what we have are really characters based on real people, but not truthful documentary depictions - instead the real person is a the starting point of which grows a largely fictional character. Buddha, Confucius and Socrates as we usually think of them are mostly fictional characters, only a little bit more tethered to real world than Anakin Solo.
