If you were growing up in the ‘ 90s and riding the fresh wave of Star Wars mania , then one of the standstill out toys to company the plastic film were Micro Machines , awesome miniature vehicles and playsets to employ them in . Micro Machines had vanished by the mid 2000s , but they ’re back for The Force Awakens — and looking fantastic .
The newsworthiness was confirmeda while agowith merchandise list hitting the connection shortly mention the Micro Machine name , but this is our first look at the revitalised transmission line . Bizarrely enough , the news has n’t been leaked from a factory , but comes from aRebel Scum readerwho happened to receive the toys on ledge at a local Toys gas constant Us — presumptively accidentally put out by staff , look at all The Force Awakens merchandise is due to release on September 4th as part of Disney ’s “ Force Friday ” jubilation .
But yes , much to Disney ’s humiliation , there ’s some Force Awakens product already out there , and it ’s damn Micro Machines ! The playset , a fold - out toy dog of the Millennium Falcon that reveals a prospect based on the desert planet Jakku , is straight up definitive Micro Machines — alongside a plethora of miniature space ship , the line frequently included playsets , in the chassis of vehicles of the heads of characters like Yoda or Luke Skywalker , that opened up to reveal a scene from one of the films you could potter around about little pliant soma in . The Jakku fix only comes with one figure , a First Order Flametrooper , but the box razz that additional figure will be sell separately .
The loge also teases further Micro Machines sets for The Force Awakens — one that ’s a First Order Star Destroyer that opens up , the other the head of a Stormtrooper . Presumably more miniatures and vehicles will be uncommitted , alongside these bent , when The Force Awakens product is released in September . God , I hope so , because I intend to spend all of my wages on teeny plastic spaceships next calendar month . So many starship .
you’re able to hold back out a few more mental picture of the exercise set over at Rebel Scum at the link below . For now , I ’m exit to go and collapse in a puddle of ‘ XC notalgia .
