The Vintage Collection Mos Eisley Cantina HasLab

This past Friday, Hasbro finally announced their highly anticipated next HasLab for The Vintage Collection. The Mos Eisley Cantina which was leaked, by Hasbro Pulse prior to its announcement, includes three figures in its offering with three more included in its tiers. A unique feature about this crowdfund campaign is that it includes two different offerings, a base and a deluxe. Now for figure collectors, it should be noted that Wuher and the Tonnika twins are 100% exclusive to this HasLab and will not be reissued on the TVC proper line. Also it has been confirmed by Steve Evans, head of the Star Wars Brand Team, that the tiered figures could get reissued in the line on different cardbacks BUT only if they are funded. [...]

Adam Savage’s One Day Builds: Painting The Razor Crest

Former ILM Special Effects Designer, Adam Savage both reviews and performs one of his famous "one day builds" on repainting the recently shipped HasLab Razor Crest from Hasbro. Savage brings both his knowledge of model design and action figure toys to this project. This custom project is of course not for the lighthearted as this Hasbro Pulse exclusive ship was only available for purchase during a two-month period in 2020 for $350. It currently is retailing for about $800 on the secondary market at e-tailers and eBay. Are you going to customize your Razor Crest? If so, share your creations with us on our socials!

HasLab x2 – It’s Now or Never!

As of this writing, we are under 24 hours left for fans to back the HasLab Black Series 6" Rancor! This crowdfunding campaign is currently at 62% funded which is unprecedented for a Star Wars HasLab. Both its predecessors, the Sail Barge and the Razor Crest funded before the final day. This particular project has seen some setbacks due to the choice of stretch goals not connecting with collectors and some sites and groups actively campaigning against the beast due to a number of reasons. Some have also argued that the competition of the Ghostbusters and GI Joe HasLabs have slowed the success of the Star Wars project especially as all three are taking place during the holiday season when wallets are tight. Hasbro [...]

Rancor Keeping – HasLab Stats

One week ago, the Star Wars Brand Team at Hasbro officially launched their third crowdfunding project, The Rancor. Just as we have done in the past with both the Sail Barge and the Razor Crest, we are keeping close track of the project's momentum and hopefully success. What makes this project different from its Star Wars predecessors is both that it is the first Star Wars HasLab in 6" scale and it is running alongside not one but two other HasLab projects. To gauge whether having competing HasLabs is a factor, we are charting the progress of all three current projects and comparing them to both the barge and Razor Crest. We would assume there is some carry-over between collectors and brands (we for example [...]
