Jedi vs. Sith. Empire vs. Rebels. Hasbro vs. Mattel. Polar opposites in some cases, fierce rivals in others. For the latter two, they’re more alike than different, a pair of the most recognizable toymakers in the galaxy. While their competition is heated, for the first time in forever they’re both bound by something greater than them both… a license known as STAR WARS. While Hasbro continues the lineage started with Kenner in bringing forth 3 ¾-scale STAR WARS action figures (among many other things), this past year has seen STAR WARS married to Mattel’s iconic Hot Wheels line through a series of Character Cars, retailer exclusives and playsets. Bottom line: It’s a great time to love STAR WARS, and as Disney and Lucasfilm ready the release of J.J. Abrams’ THE FORCE AWAKENS for this December, there’s some cool new toys that are slowly making their way into retailers. To have a little unofficial celebration of The Force here at Rock Father HQ, I’ve decided to offer-up a little something special – a Galactic Prize Pack featuring a pair of STAR WARS Hot Wheels Character Cars from Mattel, and a sought-after STAR WARS REBELS action figure from Hasbro’s Saga Legends assortment. Will The Force be with YOU?
One (1) lucky reader will receive a package that includes the following three (3) toys:
Star Wars Hot Wheels Character Car – Yoda
Don’t underestimate the power of this compact yet masterful microcar – for its ally is the Force, and a powerful ally that is.
This unassuming vehicle embodies the unmatched wisdom and agility of Yoda through its colossal rear engine, propelling it to mind-blowing speeds.
Yoda’s Jedi robe and Lightsaber extend through the rear fender cladding and side trim. After all, a grand presence a Jedi Master must have!
Star Wars Rebels Saga Legends Action Figure – The Inquisitor
The Inquisitor is a Force-sensitive spy and interrogator for the Galactic Empire who uses a ring-hilted Lightsaber that he spins and throws in combat. He tracks down Jedi who escaped Order 66 and citizens who exhibit Force abilities.
Star Wars Hot Wheels Character Car – R2-D2
This classic bubble top hot rod embodies the speed and resourcefulness of everyone’s favorite Astromech Droid: R2-D2.
Its large chrome dome can spot danger anywhere on the horizon, while its vintage body was upgraded with all the tools a utility Droid would need to protect its master.
You won’t hear any beeps or whistles coming from this hot rod – it speaks solely through the roars of its supercharged engine.
