Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Night Trooper (Gray Helmet, The Vintage Collection). Just about a year ago we were all waiting to see how the Ahsoka show would turn out, and a year later we've got some troopers and figures and a giant vehicle on the way. This one retools some elements of a very good trooper figure, and the set has a couple of other flavors of him we can get to later. If you like the design, it's a pretty good figure. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Nash Durango (Crimson Firehawk Pilot, Young Jedi Adventures). I had absolutely zero intention of buying this vehicle pilot, or this line, but clearances at Ross make things too cheap to pass up - for $45 the figure (and vehicle) is actually pretty decent. For under $10, you should run out and buy the set.

Functionally, she's a lot like a big Imaginext figure with a massive head - but she's 4-inches tall, meaning you can put your 3 3/4-inch figures in her ship if you really want to. The sites are a little wide, but that means pretty much anyone will fit. Her hair turned out well, she has no accessories... are you sold yet? Read on!

Just revealed - the Moff Gideon's Imperial Light Cruiser hallway playset with Mandalorian Privateer from The Vintage Collection. Also revealed, season 3 figures o The Mandalorian and Bo-Katan Kryze.   All of the fun was showcased on a YouTube stream.

This week in Star Wars Q&A We're experiencing some massive storms, so I am going to post this early in case the power or internet goes out.

Was the Cantina HasLab a hit? Well, they did sell 14,000 $400-$500 toys for over $6 million in risk-free income, so I'd say yes. We aren't being sold these at cost, they're making a profit once they kick off production. Also how about some more Cantina alien figures? Well, I'd like some.

Also, we're out of questions for next week.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Grogu (Epic Hero Series). You can probably find him in stores, and if you can't, the same figure comes with Mando's N-1 Starfighter (but doesn't include the floating pram accessory.) Grogu is a good enough figure, just tiny, and very similar to the Kenner Retro-style figure in many respects. He's also bigger than The Vintage Collection releases. Read on!

Ad: Pre-order new runs of the Star Wars The Black Series Clone Trooper (Halloween Edition) and Porg 6-Inch Action Figures and Star Wars The Black Series The Mandalorian Incinerator Stormtrooper Electronic Voice-Changer Helmet Prop Replica at Entertainment Earth today! They're coming later this year, and if you missed them, you can get them now. Also don't forget, orders of $79+ ship free!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Marrok (The Retro Collection). He's from last summer's streaming show Ahsoka - don't forget The Acolyte ends tonight - and is a great little figure. The cape is nice, the lightsaber is cool, and it looks like a dark knight. Also it came and went from stores pretty quickly, so hopefully you got yours online already. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Dark Empire Luke! Is he fair game for figures again? Also R2-D2 - well, a new one is sorta new, but you also sorta already may have it.

And thre's a lot of ramblings about the Cantina, with more to come from you guys in the coming weeks.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: TC-14 (Droid Factory). There are surprisingly few figures being made for the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace, so it makes sense to make a figure that's a retool and can use some old parts. I was mostly surprised to see how much of it was new, including the hands and torso - and the shine is nice too. Don't throw out your vac-metal CommTech TC-14, but maybe give this one a look. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Kanan Jarrus (The Vintage Collection). Remember that big ship that HasLab crowdfunded last year and still hasn't shipped? He goes well with that. The figure is pretty good, with excellent articulation, a blaster, and the two lightsabers you would expect. It translates the "cowboy Jedi" to a more realistic style quite nicely, but also, you may have perfectly good animated-style 3 3/4-inch figures of this character already. I think he turned out well - but I'd have been just as happy with an Epic Hero Series-style figure for half the price. Read on!

Ad: This is an affiliate/sponsored link to a new figure set that isn't up for pre-order but has pictures. Click the STAR WARS The Black Series Inquisitor & Duros Bounty Hunter (Halloween Edition) Collectible 6 Inch Action Figure 2-Pack . You've got Frankenstein's Monster and Dracula-themed figures in a boxed set, and it's probably coming later this year.

Despite a shortened funding period compared to other HasLab projects, the STAR WARS The Vintage Collection Mos Eisley Cantina received enough buyers to get 14,737 playsets produced with two of three stretch goals. Wuher, Brenna Tonnika, and Senni Tonnika will be joined by Greedo and Nabrun Leids - so 3/5 of the figures are characters you may already have in your collection. Barring a surprise reveal from Hasbro, Arleil Schous the wolf man will not be produced at this time with this set.

And with 12 minutes to go, one last update: Nabrun Leids made it! Color me surprised, that's great news.

Another evening update:  With an 1:07 to go, the Cantina needs to sell 600 units in order to hit the Nabrun Leids goal - not impossible if it keeps going at the current rate and a few more large orders are there.

Evening update: With 1:45 and 952 playsets to go to hit Nabrun Leids, it seems unlikely but not impossible to hit the next stretch goal.  If you're waiting, now is the time - they need to sell about 9 per minute to make it.

Hasbro's Cantina HasLab project just hit the first stretch goal with 11 hours remaining, unless they decide to extend the funding period. (There would be no shame in doing this.) This is the first all-new Greedo in this size in over a decade, but long-haul collectors no doubt have several different incarnations at this point including up to three that were perfectly designed to sit at a table.

With 11 hours to go, it's worth noting that the Cantina seems to not sell much faster than 1 unit per minute. With 660 minutes to go, it is unlikely it will hit another milestone today without massive dealer support, but even then if they sell 5 units per minute it will only get us to Nabrun Leids. Nabrun Leids was previously sold at the end of the POTF2 era and recolored in silver in 2007 as a Walmart exclusive - so at least you've got the ability to buy one. Arleil Schous has never been made as a figure and, presumably, never will be if this doesn't go through today.

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Timing is everything! Since we're getting on-time The Acolyte pre-orders, should we expect more? And The Cantina Box - now it's been funded, so how foxy is the boxing?

Don't forget - the HasLab Cantina playset ends Monday night at Midnight Eastern/ 9:00 PM Pacific. As of my writing this, it's got 10,310 backers. It didn't even have 8,000 on Thursday night.

Also, we're out of questions for two weeks from now. Got one? Send it in!

Sunday update: 9,684 9,934 10,024 and going up by a couple every time I hit reload.  When I post on social it looks like some people weren't aware this project was happening yet - so you might want to post about it if you have the ability to do so and want those stretch goal figures.  It seems to  be selling at a rate of slightly over one per minute as I write this, which is insufficient to hit all the goals without more orders.

Saturday update: 9,246 and counting. Tell your friends.

They said it could be done - and it was! Hasbro's STAR WARS The Vintage Collection Mos Eisley Cantina hit its first funding milestone early Friday morning, and ends Monday evening. That means if you want Greedo (which you probably have), Nabrun Leids (of which you can get either POTF2 or The Saga Collection versions today), or the all-new Arleil Schous, it needs to sell a bunch more units. Is it possible? Sure. Is it likely? Only if you and several thousand others (and/or dealers) were waiting to put in an order. You can click here to order one for the next few days, if you are so inclined.

Mostly I'm just surprised the Tonnika sisters are actually getting figures after fans started asking for them regularly in the late 1990s.   That's a long wait!

Over on eBay, sellers are already using HasLab Cantina as a term to sell the related figures - so if you're looking to fill out the bar with the figures you missed, that might help.
