I think the real reason is role-playing toys are especially made for kids, the major buyers for toys( like most stuff made under HASBRO or any major toy company )....& kids dont really care about the detail of the toy.Awwee wrote:still look like an E-11.. why they so lazy... can't they tell the difference between the two and give us some real clone blaster???Plo Strax-Avix wrote:Is that a new clone blaster I se or a rehash/repackaged of the old one?
My 8-year old son love his lightsaber,blaster & chewy's crossbow...even though theyre not movie accurate etc..
I think thats also the reason there's still companies jumping into making SW stuff... like Master Replicas, Icons etc....who makes more realistic stuff for Adults,Collectors alike & succeed in making a name for themselves
just my 2cents worth bro

no bro.....never saw any Star Wars stuff in any kind of Toy exhibition/convention here back in the 70s-80s.
Even the first ever if I can remember is at the Phoenix Hotel in 1975-76?? did'nt include the vintage stuff because it was a year or 2 before Star Wars came to the movies....Im not sure bout the year...I was around 11 or 12 that time. Mattel & Kenner launched the first Barbie & GI.Joe toys here....& I think it was done to promote & get a distributor here
