With new pre-orders today and The Book of Boba Fett next week, it's a great time to catch up while your boss thinks you're still working.  Read on!

HasLab Rancor: Over, Finished

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, December 6, 2021

The funding for the HasLab Star Wars™ The Black Series Rancor ended just under an hour ago, capping out at about 8,500 of a required 9,000 orders before numbers started reducing down to 832 (as of 9:49 PM Pacific) and the project was removed from the HasLab archive page. For now you can still see the pictures and copy for Malakili, and it is unknown what this means for future projects.

As it did not fund, we do not anticipate this project to see production, but it will be interesting if Hasbro tries to make a similarly sized - but simpler and cheaper - creature with less articulation at a lower cost. (I am not betting on it.)

Q&A: Star Wars Rainbow Droids, Sequel Toys, and Last Day for Rancors

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, December 5, 2021

This week in Q&A - rainbow droids! Did everybody miss out? And Sequel Toys - should we expect more? And HasLab Rancor complaints and questions since this is supposedly the final day, and at press time it's at 5,599 of 9,000 backers. Short of a time extension, it doesn't seem likely to happen.
