Hasbro just announced the Star Wars The Vintage Collection LAAT/i Gunship. Due in the Fall of 2026, this heralds the "Return to Geonosis" where you can probably buy new versions of figures that you may already own - but if not, you'll get a crack at new superior versions.

This ship is $449.99 and needs 8,000 sales to fund. You get rockets, and a display stand. It has an incredible new gimmick - swappable nose art. This is way better than stickers that you can remove and replace (that will break down over time.) However, the figure tally is pretty weak with only 2 Clone Pilots in the box by default. Additional stretch goal figures include Coleman Trebor, Agen Kolar, and Saesee Tiin - all of which have two or more action figure releases in various 3 3/4-inch collections. There are no debuts here - everything exists in another format, many of which were in the more kid-driven eras.

I am a little surprised they didn't throw in a smattering of plain white Clones. Will you be buying this one? At press time (3:11 PM Pacific) it has 92 backers.
