Upcoming: New “Jabba the Hutt Pig” and “Han in Carbonite Bird” Telepods Figures Coming For Angry Birds Star Wars II

I recently stumbled upon a thread over at the AngryBirdsNest Forum where someone was asking about a set of Angry Birds telepods figures that they couldn’t get to work with the Angry Birds Star Wars II app. At first people thought the guy was just confused, but (assuming his story is legit) he apparently managed to buy a set that is not only not supposed to be released in stores — it hasn’t even been announced to my knowledge. Some cursory web searches haven’t shown any references to this set.

This “Rebels vs. Villains Multi-Pack” includes brand new Jabba the Hutt pig and Han in Carbonite figures. These are not only newly sculpted figures, different from the ones we have seen in the past (see here and here), but they also have telepod functionality, allowing you scan the figure to use it within the game. I’m looking forward to seeing how they use Jabba in the game (and Han in Carbonite, for that matter) since he hasn’t really had an active role in the app until now.
