@buttmunch Hard to say because each Haslab is fairly unique in what is offered, when it is offered, what is included and time of year. Not to mention a bunch of other factors. However it is over 50% funded after just a couple of days so I would say it is doing well. It should fund, but that final tier might be an issue, especially with the shortened funding period.
Yeah the last couple of Classified Haslabs have spoiled us. The idea that a Haslab can fund in 24-48 hours is not normal, but the Joe fans have come out to plant the flag. "COME AT US BRO!!" hahaha
I think it has more to do with the lack of product for Joe over the past decade compared to other brands. I mean look how hard Joe fans came out for the recent Skybound Compendium Kickstarter. It funded in 6 minutes!!!!!! Now it is closing in on $2,000,000 in backer funds when the initial goal was just $50,000.
So anyway the Cantina looks to being do well and should sail past initial funding.
Were the dimensions of this revealed? I couldn't find it on the page. Obviously, I have a long time to go if this even funds but I'm thinking of getting a glass top coffee coffee table to display this in. I figured I could start looking for a deal on one.
The length is 32" and depending on which version you get it will either be 19" wide or 29"
@canprime thanks! Yeah I have no doubt this will fund unless there is some sort of Rancor style misstep from Hasbro that works against the campaign. I’m not too concerned about the tiers on this one since Hasbro all but flat out said they were coming with alternate cards. As long as this funds I’ll be happy.
@buttmunch Yeah the SW team was the first to not keep figures exclusive to Haslabs but rather release them in alternate packaging, or with alternate accessories/deco. Something the ML team learned the hard way with the Engine Of Vengeance.
Today's update:
TVC Cantina:
4,209 / 8,000 (+295) 52.61% of funding goal with 27d 19h left.
Over the 50% mark so onwards and upwards.
Already hitting the low hundred days of the campaign? Makes you wonder if Hasbro baked in the shorter funding period to either cut out a lot of those slow middle days or to give them some reasonable wiggle room to extend the campaign to match the length of a typical Haslab? This is going to be an interesting one.
Quick clarification on the tiers...
The three unlocks might be released later on a different card, but only if they're unlocked in this campaign first!
@misterskeezler Past history is a counter to your points.
As I said before, the SW team has released multiple figures from Haslabs in another form. Whether that is a new cardback, new accessories, or new release of a figure that didn't fund (Luke from the Rancor).
On top of that the ML team said the same thing with the Engine Of Vengeance tiers and yet the Goblin Queen just got a release in the X-Men 97 subline. Granted she was in a different outfit and not the specific (classic) look from the Haslab, but still she got a release.
Wuher has been released in other SW lines so I don't see him being an issue to get a release later, outside of his popularity. I don't think he is popular enough to warrant a single release, especially without a cantina set to tend bar in.
The Tonnika sisters are another issue. After all the supposed legal issues over the years it is great to see them finally getting made. However maybe this is a case of "one and done" and they only gave permission for this specific offering. I don't know of course, just speculation. However if that is the case then I can see them never getting made again. However if that isn't the case they'll show up somewhere eventually no matter what Hasbro says right now.
The current brand teams, and even upper management, can say whatever they want about product. However future teams/management are not beholden to anything they say now. Heck even the current teams have said no about some stuff in the past and yet they eventually release things they said wouldn't be done. So today's no is tomorrow's maybe or yes.
I understand the need to drive FOMO for a Haslab but I find it a bit disingenuous to make these sweeping claims of "never again" (from Hasbro, not you) to try and get collectors on board. Especially with highly desired "named" characters. That can lead to backlash about hiding figures behind paywalls (Goblin Queen/Mephisto) and turn collectors off of the Haslab.
Wuher and the Tonika sisters are definitely exclusive to the Haslab, they made that very clear in the live stream. Makes sense. They’re there to drive up interest.
Greedo is 100% coming out in another release. He’s too well know of a character, and frankly kind of an army builder with several Rodians on Tatoonie wearing the exact same outfit with Jabba at the docking bay and at Jabba’s palace. The other two are more niche and might come in a Cantina multi pack with a couple other denizens like Hammerhead.
