Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 3D (Hasbro)



Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 3D
Hasbro
2012

It was the movie nobody wanted in 3D,  and the one that didn't get any better when it was remastered in the format. We're talking of course about The Phantom Menace 3D. About the only thing to come from the announcement of the film being developed for 3D screens was the promise that Lucasfilm was going to be formatting the entire Saga in the medium - A promise that soon dwindled to nothing as the plans were scrapped shortly after the release of the first film. To date, even a DVD or Blu-Ray version of The Phantom Menace 3D has never been released or even really talked about. At this point it seems hopeless that we'll ever see the rest of the Saga in 3D.

As is the case in the world of Hasbro, the toy maker took the opportunity to flood the market with a drove of rehashed figures, showing yet again just how disconnected they are with the collectors shelling out their hard earned money for Star Wars toys. If these toys could talk, the series would have literally shouted from store pegs, "Nothing to see here!"

By all means, have a look for yourself, and let us know if we're missing something here.
