ATTN HASBRO:  No One Said That Playsets Have To Be Interiors

Since 2019, Hasbro has released or announced four Playsets / Adventure Sets. In chronological order they are:

Jabba's Palace Adventure Set

Carbon Freezing Chamber

Tantive IV Corridor

Nevarro Cantina (Spring 2022)

So far these have all been interior environments, but I hope that isn't prejudicing the brainstorming for future sets. Not only could some outdoor playsets be developed, there's actually vintage Kenner precedent for them. Who doesn't remember and love this:



That Imperial Attack Base was actually used in our photo gallery for 2018's Rebel Soldier (Hoth). An updated Hoth trench would make for an epic and I, have to imagine, cost effective playset. The bulk of it would be a solid piece of plastic. Perhaps add in the existing radar dish and the existing turret. We don't have an effective way to display the tripod cannon that came with the BD42 - Hoth Rebel Soldier, and this would solve that problem. Additionally, that would make the perfect pack-in figure.

Not feeling like going back to Hoth? Well, how about the common area from Bright Tree Village:



It would be a great way to organize our Ewok figures for display. Is that not floating your boat and you want something newer? How about the hangar door from the beach on Scarif:



Playsets / Adventure Sets in the context of an adult collectible line, such as the Vintage Collection, are really just ways to elevate our action figure displays. A lot of those displays recreate scenes that take place out in the fresh air. So Habsro, don't be afraid to be like the cool college professor, and take class outside.
