Come get a Drink at the TVC Cantina Haslab
On July 7th Hasbro launched the latest Haslab for “The Vintage Collection,” the Mos Eisley Cantina. It’s massive. As predicted from the leak, there will be two versions – a Base, retailing at $399.99, and a Deluxe, retailing at $499.99. Backing either version will contribute to the overall goal to help get the Haslab into production. The initial offering will include three new figures unique to this Haslab. There are also three tiers which will unlock an additional figure..
So let’s get into the details of what’s included and what makes the Deluxe worth an additional $100.
Here’s what Hasbro has to say about the Base Model.
This offering is made up of:
- An external entrance façade
- Main cantina entry archway and stairs
- A large bar
- 3 modular sitting booths
- Archways
And from the piping behind the bar to the light fixtures and taxidermy heads for décor, HasLab brings intricate movie-inspired detail to every element.
This offering includes a plethora of accessories to help you build out your scene. The cantina features:
- 8 round tables
- 1 large rectangular table
- 4 tall stools
- 15 short stools
- 5 single-seat chairs
- 4 two-seat benches
- 8 different types of cups (over 100 total cups!)
- Barware including pipes and accessories
Here the scoop on what’s included in the add-on for the Deluxe version.
If you select the deluxe version, you’ll get:
- 3 additional modular booth sections
- 5 additional short stools
- 2 additional single-seat chairs
- 4 additional 2-seat benches
- 6 additional round tables
- 20 more cups
- Unique wall decor
Let’s take a look at the three figures you get for the initial offering. All of them have never been done before for the TVC line, and two of them have never been done ever in the history of Star Wars figures.
Wuher, the cantina’s gruff bartender, keeps his head low to survive. Whether it’s droids entering the premises or stormtroopers investigating a brawl, he does his best to avoid trouble altogether—even if that means telling trouble to “get out!”
For the first time in TVC and featuring an entirely new sculpt, the included Wuher figure is packaged on a classic Kenner-inspired cardback and includes a blaster accessory, a cup, and an alternate cup-holding hand.
No successful business can run without patrons, of course. If you pull up a stool at the bar, you just might find yourself seeing double …
Introducing the Tonnika Sisters!
Star Wars fans, we heard you — no collection is complete without Brea and Senni Tonnika, cantina customers and con artists extraordinaire.
The Vintage Collection is proud to bring the sisters to the line, each with her own cardback exclusive to this HasLab and complete with 2 blaster accessories, a cup, and alternate hand. Detailed character-inspired deco and design include the sisters’ iconic braided hair and jumpsuits.
Fans, now’s your chance to bring these characters home to your collection.
Now let’s take a look at the three figures that will be unlocked if certain backing goals are met!
Tier #1: THRESHOLD: 11,000 BACKERS
GREEDO Exclusive Star Wars: A New HopeVC Carded Figure
Includes:blaster, cup
A Rodian bounty hunter, Greedo is overzealous with a blaster — and a pretty poor shot. This figure features a new sculpt for placement in your cantina scene.
Tier #2: THRESHOLD: 14,000 BACKERS
NABRUN LEIDS ExclusiveStar Wars: A New Hope VC Carded Figure
Includes: 2 blasters, cup, interchangeable hose
Nabrun Leids, a pilot and smuggler, joins TVC for the first time! He features an all-new sculpt with, of course, his four arms. In addition to a cup, this figure comes with two special interchangeable mask hoses (with one shaped in an S-curve so he can enjoy his beverage).
Tier #3: THRESHOLD: 17,000 BACKERS
ARLEIL SCHOUS Exclusive Star Wars: A New Hope VC Carded Figure
Includes: blaster, cup
Another first for The Vintage Collection — and for collectors! This Defel bar patron can be spotted in the background of Star Wars: A New Hope — though fans will remember an additional shot of his from the original cut that was removed from the special edition.
This Haslab Project is fascinating and a lot to take in. We definitely hope it gets backed and meets all the tiers. This is definitely something I wish I had as a kid for all my 3.75 figures!
