1.) From joenubb: After seeing Hi Res pics of TAC series 6 and 7, will Han Solo: Bespin Torture Rack's belt and gun holster be included? What about including an interchangeable head of older Anakin actor Sebastian Shaw with the Spirit of Anakin figure? Is this something that's being considered? Great job on TAC, by the way, it's got me back into collecting Star Wars figures!

ANSWER: Thanks for the good word and glad you are liking the line. Han's belt and holster will not be included in the torture rack figure, since the rack is so expensive. The Sebastian Shaw head will not be included with the Anakin figure. It's possible that sometime down the road we could do a dedicated figure with the Shaw likeness, but we do not have plans for it at this time.

2.) From joenubb: Figures like Han Solo: Bespin Torture Rack and Tycho: A-Wing Pilot seem misproportioned in the shoulders and neck, respectively. Is this something that will be able to be fixed before production? Also, will General Pharl McQuarrie's helmet fit the figure's head, as the VTSC Hoth Han's did not?

ANSWER: The helmet will fit on the General McQuarrie figure; it sits easier due to the smaller collar compared to the vintage Han Solo. The vintage Solo will fit, but it takes some work to get it just right. As for the torture rack Han and Tycho figures, the proportions inthe pics are slightly exaggerated because they were models, rather than production. The overall proportions are right, but the shoulders will be set into the sockets a bit more, and we think this is what you are seeing from our presentation pics.

3.) From Darth_Zirock: Now that a trailer for The Force Unleashed has been unveiled, has there been any thought to developing a second wave of action figures based on the game?

ANSWER: We have known in detail about the game for some time, so the trailer didn't introduce any additional figures we did not know about. We have not, in any case, slotted a second wave against The Force Unleashed but are considering future figures as a possibility.
