Hasbro have been relatively quiet since their big reveal for the HasLab Rancor final stretch goals and painted sample. Fans were hugely disappointed with the overall project and began voting with their wallets with the backing numbers tumbling backward by nearly 500 backers.
As we enter the final week for backing the Rancor, Hasbro has reached out on Instagram to adjust the Rancor offering - confirming that they will add Malakili, the Rancor Keeper, to the base offering if the project is backed at 9000 units. He will be un-carded in the box but will feature his gaffi stick.
There are no images as yet as the figure is being developed now with Hasbro promising to share images when they are ready. It will be interesting to see if this can push the Rancor over the line or if it's too little, too late.
We really appreciate all the feedback we’ve received in an effort to make the HasLab Rancor the best possible dream product. With that, we realize we can't leave the most dangerous creature, the rancor, roaming the galaxy without its keeper. We will be adding a fully newly-tooled Star Wars: The Black Series Malakili figure to the base offering, funding at 9K units. Uncarded and ready for action, Malakili comes with his unique gaffi stick inspired by Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. This figure is in active development, and we will share renders as part of our backer updates if the project successfully moves into production.
This final additional figure can ONLY be added if we hit our target threshold of 9K backers before the campaign deadline (December 6, 2021). Thank you for your help in shaping this product in real time! The fate of the HasLab Rancor project is in your hands! We hope to bring both the rancor and Malakili to our passionate fans - visit HasbroPulse.com for more details.
