Back in January, we received a tantalising look at the list of The Force Awakens products Hasbro plans to release later this year. Now, StarWars.com has given us a release date and a glimpse of the new packaging design featuring the mysterious villain Kylo Ren.
I'm a huge fan of this new packaging design. It's simple, striking, and nicely reminiscent of the Power of the Force 2 and Episode I lines of the late '90s. The first wave of The Force Awakens products will be hitting shelves on September 4th 2015 - or what is now being dubbed as "Force Friday". Many US stores will be running special midnight-release events on this day, though its unclear what kind of promotional fanfare we'll see down here in New Zealand. I'll be sure to post updates as they come in.
Will you be queueing up for "Force Friday"? What are your thoughts on the new The Force Awakens packaging design? Be sure to email them to relicsoftheforce@gmail.com, or send me a tweet at @Archon_Revuge!
