Cantina play set with Tonnika Sisters.
30,000 backers easily.
I could see Hasbro releasing the Cantina the same way they're doing the Jabba's / Bib's / Boba's throne room. I think the longer duration of that sales model would be a better fit for the Cantina.
As for a new Haslab project for Star Wars? I absolutely agree - it needs to be something that fans are clamoring for. Or something that they didn't realize that wanted.
The right timing might have saved both the Rancor and the Reva lightsaber. But then the Rancor rollout was like a case of watching a monkey trying to **** a football. Hasbro couldn't get out of their own way. SOMEBODY at Lucasfilm should have told them to wait for 6 months. And the stretch goals were both uninspired and a clear illustration of how cheap Hasbro has become.
I honestly don't know what Hasbro might consider for a future Haslab campaign. My own ideas?
THE VINTAGE COLLECTION
-SOLO Millennium Falcon - based on the TLC / TVC BMF Millennium Falcon. Update the existing Falcon with SOLO deco, some breakaway panels to show the damage incurred during the Kessel Run. Add the escape pod. And update the interior to reflect the important spaces seen in SOLO.
-Imperial Lambda class shuttle. This ship was a star of Return of the Jedi. But more recently it got some serious play in THE MANDALORIAN. And while it's been reissued twice in the modern era, the tooling is still straight out of 1983. The cockpit needs to be completely redone, as does the rest of the interior.
-The Ghost. This seems like more of a longshot since REBELS is more of a niche than the films or the live action Disney+ shows. But if it turns up in the AHSOKA series? That might give it a serious shot.
THE BLACK SERIES
I'm struggling to think of a dream item for The Black Series that might be a fitting offering for a Haslab campaign. Some people have pitched an X-Wing, but it would be absolutely enormous!
I think if anything, Hasbro might want to look to the action figure photography movement for some kind of a scene / setting that would showcase figures in iconic moments. Lightsaber duels come to mind for me.
-MUSTAFAR DUEL SCENE - the battle of the heroes scene seems like a possibility. If it could be the lava river (it should light up) with the bank and the hoverplatform and panning droid? That plus scene specific versions of Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi would be excellent. Stretch goals might be Vader in flames, the Emperor, the medical capsule and Shock Troopers.
-DEATH STAR DUEL SCENE - The rematch from ANH. Vader vs Obi-Wan. Include Imperial hallways, the blast door, as well as the empty cloak and Obi-Wan's lightsaber.
-CLOUD CITY DUEL SCENE - the gantry. Vader vs Luke. Include scene specific Vader and Luke - Vader's shoulder scorched from where Luke hits him, and Luke beat up. Include the gantry. Stretch goal could be a background.
