“Great stories. Great figures.”
My current focus may be specifically on the 1998 Star Wars Expanded Universe subline from Kenner BUT that doesn’t mean Star Wars action figures stopped exploring the EU at that time. This ad for the Star Wars Comic Packs (Amazon.com search*) proves that Hasbro wasn’t (and isn’t!) finished crafting new action figures based on the larger universe.
(Found on the back cover of the December, 2008 issue of ToyFare magazine. I miss magazines.)

That Thrawn figure looks great!
@Wolf – Agreed. I was asked about my Universe Expanded book and if I would be covering other expanded universe action figures. Tempting, but the best answer is to keep the focus on that Kenner 1998 subline. I worry if I open the doors too far the project will explode and never get finished.
