Hasbro
really had something special going when they started the Unleashed
line a couple years ago. The first Unleashed figure I ever owned was
Darth Maul, and let me tell you how excited I was when I brought
that bad boy home for the first time. Back then I didn’t open my
Unleashed figures, but it still looked great carded (yeah, I know,
why in the world would you buy these figures to keep carded,
right?). Through the coming years, I had acquired every single
Unleashed figure that Hasbro made, and I even got courageous enough
to finally open them all up to display in my collection.
Sadly
though, Hasbro decided to scrap that line, even after teasing us
Star Wars collectors with the mentioning of three additional
Unleashed figures, that would never be put out on store shelves. Was
it ever explained as to why they weren’t going to go with these
three additional figures? If they did, I sure don’t remember hearing
about it. Instead, Hasbro announced several months ago that they
would be coming out with a different Unleashed figure set, which
they dubbed Unleashed Battle Packs. These packages would contain
four smaller two-inched figures, but by doing this I think the
overall quality of these declined in a way that might steer me away
from purchasing these (once they do end up coming out to retail). So
why did Hasbro decide to move from the bigger Unleashed figures to
the smaller two-inch Battle Packs? Hasbro has yet to publicly
explain themselves behind this marketing strategy.
