1.) With the announcement of the upcoming Concept Art General Grievous action figure, could we see more Prequel Trilogy concept figures in the future? A lot of fans--especially figure customizers--were particularly impressed with the "battle weary" concepts for Ploo Koon and Ki-Adi-Mundi in REVENGE OF THE SITH.

ANSWER: This is the only prequel concept figure slated for now. However, the response to the MCQ series has been fantastic, and we know that the appetite is out there more follow-ups like this in the future. Our plates are full next year with some other concepts, but it's possible that we could return with some more in future years.

2.) Following up on a previous question, since the character of Jedi Master Tsui Choi was depicted in several comics other than PURGE, might he still be considered for a future Comics Pack?

ANSWER: We like Tsui Choi as well (incidentally, as explained to us by none other than Dark Horse Star Wars series editor Randy Stradley himself, the pronunication of his name is "choy choy"). We are looking for a good way to work him in, but don't have anything to announce yet. If our plans work out, it's a good chance that we'll see him before the end of next year in some form.

3.) For the record, what are the twelve McQuarrie Concept Art figures, as is mentioned on the cardbacks for the CIV exclusives?

ANSWER: There will actually be 13 figures, in 11 different cards. The figures are, in chronological order of appearance: 1) Stormtrooper (reissue); 2) Boba Fett; 3) Chewbacca; 4 & 5) C-3PO & R2-D2; 6) Luke; 7) Darth Vader; 8 & 9) Yoda & Obi-Wan; 10) Starkiller Hero; 11) Snowtrooper; 12) Han Solo; 13) and one that has yet to be announced!

The last figure could be that concept Rebel Trooper on the sticker sheet.

Seriously! This hasn't been announced? Um, wasn't it shown at CIV?

Well, it was made official at Celebration Europe this weekend. Rebel Trooper Concept will be figure #60 in the line, and will be the last figure to get a coin in the basic line.
