Haslab Rancor Tier 1 Reveal: POTF Carded Gamorrean Guard
Hasbro revealed the first tier in their Haslab Black Series Rancor campaign and it made many squeal – and not in the good way. Hasbro choose to lead off their first tier with a repack of the Target Exclusive 6″ Gamorrean Guard but on a POTF cardback with coin. This figure is unlocked at 11,000 units sold.
TVC Archive Edition Stretch Goal Update
From BlueMilk via Instagram
We’ve almost reached the next stretch goal for our Kickstarter campaign, so we thought we’d give you a glimpse at how we’re turning a photo of a TVC Jabba the Hutt figure into the obverse side of a coin (with a few special modifications). Please note the design is not final.
If we meet the stretch goal before the campaign ends on Sunday, all book backers get a 3-coin set featuring Jabba, Boba Fett’s Slave I, and Jabba’s Sail Barge coins (in addition to all the other unlocked stretch goals). We know this is a stretch goal many of you have been hoping gets unlocked.
We also recognize that our international backers are hit with some stiff shipping charges as a result of postage rates that are out of our control. As a token of our appreciation, all book backers with an international (non-U.S.) shipping address will receive a second coin set with the 3-coins struck in a gold color. While it may not ease the burden on the shipping costs, we hope our international friends find the ultra-limited, gold-colored coins a nice addition to their collection.

Super7 Reveals SDCC Exclusive POTF Inspired Vac-Metal Maria
Super7 has revealed a new SDCC exclusive with a hint of vintage Star Wars flavor. The Metropolis “Robot Maria” ReAction figure features a vac-metal finish, a POTF inspired card back and includes a collectible coin. Available at booth #2543 for $15
Achievement Unlocked: Sail Barge Greenlit for Production
You did it! The required number of orders needed to proceed with the production of the Vintage Collection Jabba’s Sail Barge (with exclusive POTF Yak Face) has been reached and with 4 days to spare! If you still want one (or another one) and haven’t backed yet, you have until 11:59 pm on April 3 to make your decision.
Anything Worth Doing….
Eagle-eyed commenter Jeff recently noticed that the image of Yak Face used on Hasbro’s mockup for the exclusive Power of the Force version (included with the Sail Barge) is not the same stock photo originally used for the 1985 version. Hasbro design team, if you’re going to do this thing, can you revise the art to better match the original release?
