Canceled Disney Infinity Rogue One Plans Revealed
Ninja Theory had been at work on a full playset that will never see the light of day.
Disney Infinity died a speedy death last year, and in its wake we keep learning of plans that had been in motion before the developers learned of its demise. The latest, and likely one of the last revelations, was its plans to release sets for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Kotaku reports that a Rogue One playset was in development from Ninja Theory, and multiple figures were in the works to represent its ensemble cast. The heroine Jyn and the sarcastic droid K2 were confirmed, but it would likely include most of the characters in the movie. The playset stages were early in development at the time of Disney Infinity's cancellation, but the figures were ready for production.
We do know what one of the figures would have looked like, though. B Allen, the artist who has worked on many other figure designs, revealed the design for Baze Malbus (Jiang Wen). The artist has previously shown off designs for other figures, like ones modeled after the lead characters from the recent Disney animated feature Moana.

It was that times a million not just one figure. The figures were very costly to produce and Disney forced them to make figures that just didn't sell. Yondu from Guardians Of The Galaxy was the big one but they also produced huge quantities of Hulk thinking he would be popular, but it turns out no one wanted it. There were terrible business decisions made left and right with Disney forcing them to make costly mistakes.
There was a good article on Kotaku not too long ago about it all.
