CommTech Reader 4.0 and Action Figures
In 1999, Hasbro released a CommTech reader that would play sounds from special chips packaged with each figure. There was a second generation CommTech reader and newly designed chips that were designed to hold "Twice the Speech" planned for release. This product line was cancelled and the figures were later released under a new design known as "Power of the Jedi".
