Yesterday, Hasbro live-streamed their first-ever Fan First Monday event (you can watch it here). The event revealed products for both The Black Series and The Vintage Collection. It is assumed that these would be some of the announcements that were originally set for San Diego Comic-Con this year but due to its cancelation, Hasbro is revealing them online. It was discussed during the stream that exclusives intended for the event are still being worked out in regards to their release. Hasbro is continuing to support the 40th Anniversary of Episode V in both their scales and the much-rumored Bespin playset made its official debut. Now as rumored, this set requires two playsets to make the whole Carbon Freeze Chamber and preorders for this set and everything else shown is now up and included in the links below.
The biggest news of the stream was that Hasbro has heard the call for more TVC and that they will be doing another HasLab crowdfunding project later this Summer for The Vintage Collection line. We posted on socials that our bet is on a Razor Crest (The Mandalorian’s ship for the popular series) but many readers and fans are voiced their support for The Ghost from Rebels and a modular Death Star playset. We should know more in the weeks ahead as this most likely was to be Star Wars Celebration announcement which like SDCC was also canceled for this year.
We were thrilled to see four different 3 3/4″ projects announced yesterday and look forward to hopefully even more announcements in the future. Hasbro has provided us official images and information on all the products shown yesterday below!
