1.) How many points of articulation will the Comic-Con exclusive McQuarrie Concept Obi-Wan and Yoda figures each have?

ANSWER: Obi-Wan has 12 points, including ankles (no knees) and ball-and socket shoulders and elbows. Yoda has 10 points of articulation - a lot for our little green friend!

2.) Since Dark Horse Comics' PURGE was a one-shot book, if other characters from the title were to be made as figures (such as Master Tsui Choi or Shadday Potkin), would they be part of the basic line or a second PURGE comic pack reprinting the same comic?

ANSWER: Well, we would like to not do a reprint of the same comic so that sort of leaves other characters from this great comic pretty much without a home for now. Only time will tell if we are able to go back and look at these again and figure out way to use them in some other way. Since their existence is tied to the comic, though, don't count on these guys having much of a chance to come out.

3.) We're only two years away from the tenth anniversary of STAR WARS: EPISODE I - THE PHANTOM MENACE. Knowing how far in advance you have to plot out figures, is it too early to start hoping for all-new, super-articulated sculpts of Qui-Gon Jinn, Darth Maul, and Obi-Wan Kenobi?

ANSWER: It would be a shame to wait that long for quality sculpts of such core figures.
