Remember the old Kenner brand Luke Skywalker with the slit in his wrist so a wispy-tipped (inexplicably yellow) lightsaber could slide out? We've come a long way. On Thursday, Hasbro reveals its lineup of new toys as the world celebrates Force Friday II.
Kylo Ren: What at first glance resembles a high-tech crypt for the First Order villain is actually a starter kit for Hasbro's Force Link feature. This wristband unlocks an array of phrases, sound effects, lights with 30 compatible figures, accessories, vehicles, and playsets.
Elite Praetorian Guard: This 3.75-inch figure is one of the crimson-armored bodyguards for Supreme Leader Snoke.
General Hux: The First Order fascist (played by Domhnall Gleeson) is still threatening to rule the galaxy with the clenched fist of his brand of freedom — but now he has a sidekick, the MSE-6 (or mouse droid.)
TIE Silencer: Among the new vehicles is Kylo Ren's personal starfighter, the fang-winged TIE Silencer. It includes the villain in flight outfit.
Canto Bight Police Speeder: These security vehicles look like something our police would throw into a road to burst a bad guy's tires. This vehicle includes an officer from the galactic casino.
A-wing Fighter: We saw the A-wing fighters in the original trilogy, but here's a new variation for a different generation. It includes the Resistance pilot named Tallie. (First name, last name? That's unclear.).
Ski Speeder: Poe Dameron trades his X-wing for this significantly less stable fighter, which was seen in The Last Jedi trailer stirring up a plume of red mineral as it skims the surface of the planet Crait.
Kylo Ren: Those seeking just the scarfaced dark-sider can get this figure, complete with crossguard lightsaber.
12-inch Kylo Ren: The villain comes in much larger form with this foot-tall, interactive figurine, which includes than 65 light and sound effects — including a lightsaber that glows Sith red.
Plush Porg: Before we get to the Black Series figures, let's just stop and hug this soft Porg. It's battery operated to waddle, flap its wings, and chirp and coo.
