FUNDED! The HasLab Vintage Collection The Ghost & Phantom II with Hera Syndulla has met its backing goal of 8,000 and will go into production on Sept 7. Now this is where the fun begins as there are 3 tiers to unlock, the first being the exclusive carded Ezra Bridger at 11,000 backers.
During the Hasbro Star Wars panel and follow up discussions, it was revealed that Hasbro plans for several “repacks/retools” in TVC, including the TBS/TVC Rogue One Cassian Andor figure again (but with the added touch of photo real deco).
Personal Note: If Hasbro has the need to put this figure out again, it may be better suited for a 3pk, and they can invest in new tooling in the other figures in the set, such as Baze Malbus and Ruescott Melshi. Or, are you happy with just swapping a VC262 Cassian head onto the older figure and would rather Hasbro avoid this figure altogether? What say you?
Next week, a more controversial repack topic… TFA Finn.

A new image from the Star Wars The Vintage Collection Facebook group reveals a problem that continues to unexplicably plague the Hasbro Star Wars brand team. The Vintage Collection “Fat” Bib Fortuna pack-in for the Boba Fett’s Throne Room on display at SDCC features the number VC276 on the cardback. The problem is that number already assigned to the Walmart exclusive ARC Commander Colt. If only there was some sort of technology to catalog the numbers for easy cross-referencing.
Thanks to Mr. Miko for the photo.
New images from SDCC confirms a few new Vintage Collection characters from our previous rumor reports including Morgan Elsbeth and HK:87 Assassin Droid. Also shown is Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ahsoka Tano.
