Hasbro’s catalogue featuring the initial line-up of toys from THE FORCE AWAKENS has made it to the Internet. Somewhat miraculously, it remains online nearly 24 hours later.
I’m not clear if this was a actually a ‘leak,’ or a more ‘official’ release meant to whet our appetites for September 4’s ‘Force Friday’ (when the first wave of substantive merchandise from the December 18 picture arrives).
Whichever the case, here’s a look at the catalogue in all of its colorful glory.

I'm totally digging those ‘Black’ figures ('Black' being the subset of STAR WARS figures offering improved detailing and increased size over the franchise's regular action figure releases)...
And, while I’m not sure they make sense at all in terms of color scheme, the introduction of black TIE Fighters and X-Wings…
...is an interesting aesthetic choice which makes for a paradoxically slight-but-dramatic design shift.
If nothing else, it'll be a blast to at long last behold a rather close semblance of the X-Wings as designed by Ralph McQuarrie for the original film so many years ago. Sure, these are really close to the X-Wings we eventually got, but TFA's fighters sport notable differences which recall McQuarrie's concept art for EPISODE IV...

Sure, they’re really close to the X-Wings we eventually got, but there are notable differences, and it’ll be nice to finally see these beauties soaring the skies…and the stars...and intended.
At the end of the day, though, all that really needs to be said about any of this is: WOOKIEE FURBY! WOOKIEE FURBY!
