Just a friendly reminder, the pre-order window close is quickly approaching (February 14th at 11:59 PM Eastern) to order the Sabine Wren & Chopper (C1-10P) Mural card back set. It’s also recently been revealed that these mural card backs will have mainline VC numbering (Sabine Wren (VC332 & Chopper (C1-10P) (VC333)). 

Welcome to our New Year’s Eve Visual Guide update! Tonight we are adding Grand Admiral Thrawn (VC296) to The Vintage Collection Visual Guide. Click below to check him out! You can also check out our review of this figure in our review database.

Let’s take a look at the latest wave of The Vintage Collection. Let’s begin with the Grand Admiral Thrawn figure from Star Wars: Rebels. It’s essentially perfect. (more….)

The Black Series [Phase IV] Ezra Bridger (Lothal) is technically not in Ahsoka, something Hasbro hasn’t done in the action figure line for a long time! (more….)

The Vintage Collection Sabine Wren Deluxe figure isn’t Deluxe at all. Just the price is. And Hasbro knows we’re dumb enough to buy this. (more….)

Our friends at Jedi News were in with a roundtable Q&A today with Chris and Jing from the Hasbro Star Wars team and it was revealed that if the HasLab Ghost project reaches 17,000 backers they would round out the mural carded figures with Sabine Wren and Chopper… for an additional purchase. We currently stand at 11,300 with just under two weeks to go. Currently, Hera and Ezra are locked in. It remains to be seen just how they will be offered. They will post the full interview tomorrow.

That didn’t take very long, after launching the campaign on Friday the Ghost just reached the first target of 8,000 backers which unlocks the HasLab and means the Ghost will be made!

Congratulations to the Star Wars team who finally came up with a well thought out Star Wars HasLab after two failed campaigns that suffered from various issues. But this proves Star Wars collectors are absolutely willing to back a Star Wars HasLab if the HasLab is any good. Even if it’s pricey.

So now we will have to see how far this can go. At this point I am pretty confident this will reach 17,000 backers, which means all the tiers will be unlocked. As usual things will slow down a bit now, only to pick up speed again in the final week and especially last few days.

So to anyone who already backed the Ghost: you can look forward to receiving the ship in about a year from now! Now you can plan where to actually put it!

You can still back the Ghost on HasLab!

Success!

Numbers are quite abstract, so how big is the HasLab Ghost really? How does it compare with the Razor Crest? I created a comparison photo that compares the Ghost, Razor Crest and Khetanna with photos of Luke and Leia to give you an idea how bulky the ship is. Click through for the image!

UPDATE: I added the BMF to the comparison
UPDATE 2: more comparison images added that show you how big a true to scale 1/18 scale Ghost and a 1/12 scale Ghost would need to be!

So how big is that compared to a human being?

It is surely no surprise to anyone anymore that Hasbro revealed the brand new The Vintage Collection HasLab at SDCC just now!

And it is… The Ghost! This is, according to Hasbro, the biggest TVC ship yet! It comes, out of the gate, with the Ghost of course, the Phantom II shuttle and a carded Hera Syndulla (based on the Ahsoka series, so Mary Elizabeth Winstead likeness) figure. Chopper will only be a mini-bust, i.e. his head, he can be inserted into the droid port on the Phantom II.

The ship has a fully detailed interior and a cockpit with four seats for the full crew.

Tiers have already been announced!

Tier 1: carded Ezra Bridger figure – exclusive HasLab version – 11k backers needed
Tier 2: carded Kanan Jarrus figure – exclusive HasLab version – 14k backers needed
Tier 3: carded Zeb Orrelios figure – 17k backers needed

Sabine Wren will be a mainline TVC release! So you have a chance to get the full crew!

Price is $499.99! 8k backers are required to unlock the Ghost. If the Ghost reaches 17k backers the final tier will  be unlocked!

You can back the Ghost right now, on the HasLab page! Deadline is September 6th! There are currently 601 backers after just a few minutes.

UPDATE: I added a hands on video of the Ghost at the Hasbro SDCC booth where you can get a detailed look at an actual (3D printed and hand painted) model! To give you a better idea of the dimensions and look of the spaceship and figures!
