    I do not remember where i got this from, but here it is.

    “Walt Disney Attractions will be getting SIX theme park & Starwars.com exclusive 3.75” figures produced by HASBRO.

    Figures will be all DROIDS & a combination of repaints & ALL NEW sculpts. All figures will be based on the Disney “Star Tours” attraction, taken from the ride film & queue line. They will ship in two waves of three, the first to come this fall.

    First wave will include 2 new & 1 repaint. The repaint will be of the Theed escape R2 in a green/white scheme. The two new sculpts will consist of the Star Speeder 3000 pilot “MAX” & one of the repair unit droids (kind of resembles “Johnny-5” from “Short Circuit”) from the queue line. Wave 2 should be out sometime next Spring. Again expect 2 new/1 repaint. Details later.

    They will be in custom cards based on the POTJ versions, but say “STAR TOURS” & w/o the Vader/Obi image. The card back will explain the story of the attraction.

    They will be available in all Disney parks w/the Star Tours attraction as well as on Starwars.com to allow collectors access & avoid a scalper frenzy. So they should be easy to get a hold of once released. Exact price point unknown, though probably expect them to be around the $10 mark, which is what the Disney parks currently charge for the POTJ assortments.

    Also in the works for sometime down the line is a 3.75″ scale STAR SPEEDER 3000 vehicle playset…

    More details to come as I get them.”
