Hasbro first announced they were creating a Hera figure at San Diego Comic-Con 2016. The company then delayed production of the toy in favor of making some changes to the character model.

I don’t know what changes they made, but whatever they were, the results are wonderful. The Hera figure looks exactly like a realistic version of the cartoon character. I love the neat details, like the tiny blaster and its accompanying boot holster. The figure is also poseable, so you can easily recreate almost any of Hera’s scenes from Star Wars Rebels.
