Low Down On Red ARC Trooper
Low Down On Red ARC Trooper
11/01/2003 04:16 PMOfficial word from Hasbro states the red ARC Troopers recently showing
up in a few eBay auctions are in fact the real deal. The figures are
the result of a running line change to correspond with the red ARC
Trooper soon to be featured in Cartoon Network's micro series. Images
of the red ARC Trooper first appeared in promotional material
distributed at this year's Comic Con in San Diego, but last week's
appearance of the figure on eBay marked the first indication a toy
associated with the character was forthcoming. Following that report,
many collectors were left wondering if the figure was indeed genuine
or just a very well done custom, thanks to Hasbro for clearing up the
confusion. Be sure to watch for the red ARC Trooper at your local toy
retailer soon!

Edition Clone Trooper figure, long rumored to be part of a
promotional deal for 2003, was nowhere in sight. As a matter of fact,
there was practically no
Star Wars items listed at all, save
for a few LEGO kits. With word that the UK stores have pulled out of
the promotion, the future loks bleak for this nifty exclusive figure.
