During their panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Hasbro revealed several new Star Wars toys from Ahsoka, Rebels, and a new wave of holiday figures!
If SDCC wasn’t making your wallet hurt already, some new Star Wars figures are arriving later this year to really bring the pain. During their SDCC panel, Hasbro pulled the curtain back on a number of new figures across their Vintage Collection and Black Series line of figures.
Let’s kick off with the all new wave of Holiday-themed figures. I, personally, LOVE these goofy looking figures. They’re just a lot of fun, and it’s always neat when toy companies get weird with these things. As such, I’m thrilled to see them continue with this line and bring a bunch of new stuff to the table.
No pre-order details for these were given, but they are expected to arrive this Fall. As with the previous waves, I suspect these will all be different retailer exclusives.
Next up, we’ve got some new figures (both Black Series and TVC) based on the upcoming Ahsoka series. Always nice to have new toys to go with your new show, but I admit to being a bit bummed that we don’t have any of the badass looking new villains to go along with them. These figures are also slated to arrive this Fall.
On the Vintage Collection side of things we’re getting a Life Day Chewbacca figure (which kinda rules), a new army-builder four pack featuring Imperial officers, Grand Admiral Thrawn from his Rebels appearance, Pre Viszla from Clone Wars, AND a new Darth Revan figure! That’s the one I’m most excited for, as Revan was originally supposed to get a TVC figure soon after the line re-launched, only for it to be cancelled later on.
Revan and Viszla are slated to arrive in Spring 2024, but the rest of the TVC reveals should be hitting this Fall.
Last, but certainly not least, Hasbro also revealed their new HasLab project. As rumored, it’s none other than the Ghost! Fans have been asking for a version of this ship in the TVC scale for a while now, and it’s return in Ahsoka makes it the perfect time for this one to happen:
Ahsoka Tano is on a mission to protect a vulnerable galaxy in the aftermath of the fall of the Empire. To do so, she’s enlisting help from some old allies – ones that once knew her as “Fulcrum.” Enter the well-loved starship that the Spectre crew once called home.
The Ghost is not just any ship. It’s been highly requested by you, the fans, not just for its intricate design but for everything it represents: the beginnings of the Rebel Alliance, the power of resilience and found family, and maintaining hope against all odds.
There are endless storytelling opportunities with this ship, which weaves stories together from across the Star Wars galaxy, from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story™ to Ahsoka – and we want to give you the chance to explore them all. The interior of the ship lets you experience the Ghost like you’ve never seen it before. Imagine characters gathering around the table in the galley, bonding as only members of the wayfaring Ghost crew could. Or perhaps you’ll find them in the cockpit, backseat piloting with their fearless leader.
We’re thrilled to bring you the Ghost as it appears in the upcoming Ahsoka series – and the chance to celebrate characters you know and love. This is the largest ship we’ve built since Jabba’s Sail Barge! The Ghost measures over 28 inches by 34 inches and sits at over 13 inches tall, with the capacity for at least 15 figures and is decked out with all the essentials including:
Exclusive Star Wars Rebels™ carded General Hera Syndulla figure with 3 entertainment-inspired accessories including a meiloorun fruit, Kalikori totem and blaster. Figure’s appearance is based on her appearance in Season 4 of Star Wars Rebels and features a cardback inspired by Sabine Wren’s Spectre Crew mural from the series finale.
The Phantom II: the ship’s shuttle that can be snapped in and out of place for short-range adventures. Features exclusive removable mini bust of Chopper that can be popped in and out behind the cockpit exterior.
Opening front ramp
Removable landing gear
Multiple removable panels for interior access and play
Nose turret with removable canopy and seating for 1
Signature 360-degree dorsal laser cannon turret
Docking bay for the Phantom II
Main cockpit with seating for 4
Crew quarters with bunk beds
The Captain’s quarters with a single bed
Gallery and lounge with seating, game table, and dining table
As this is a crowdfunded campaign, there are some bonuses that will unlock if fans reach certain ordering milestones. This time around, it’s members of the Ghost crew from Rebels!
The HasLab campaign for the Ghost is already underway and has already gone well past the half-way mark in just the first 24 hours. Seems like a safe bet to say this one is gonna get made. As such, you might as well get your order in now before they stop taking backers on September 6th.
