Hasbro HasLab Star Wars Vintage Collection Razor Crest : Bonus Tiers

The latest HasLab Project from Hasbro was announced at Hasbro Pulse Con as a 3.75 inch Star Wars Vintage Collection Razor Crest from The Mandalorian.


The ship features the usual HasLab detail such as opening weapons locker, carbon freezing chamber and racks, opening rear and side doors and working landing gear. The cockpit features three seats that can seat three Vintage Collection figures - and to fill one chair, the set includes a Mandalorian figure with soft goods cloak.


The Razor Crest is an impressive 30 inches long, 20 inches wide and 10.5 inches high.


The HasLab period runs from the 25th of September 2020 through to the 9th of November. The team need a minimum of 6000 backers and their are then bonus tiers planned for 8000 and 10,000 backers.


The Razor Crest was officially backed, with 6000+ backers, in just about 24hrs. This opened up the first bonus tier for 8000 backers as an escape pod extra.



This was reached in under 4-days, and the 10000 backer tier was then revealed as a Vintage Collection carded The Child, complete with the pram he uses at the end of Season 1. The set also includes the gear shaft handle that the Child loves to play with.



The price is $349.99 in the US, where you can commit via Hasbro Pulse. Here in the UK, and in Europe, Zavvi have once again been selected to handle the ordering and distribution. The UK price is £349.99 and you can make your order HERE. Assuming the backing level is reached, you will be charged for your order on the 9th of November.

The Razor Crest is then due to land in Autumn 2021.



In 2018 we launched HasLab with a dream: to make something fans had been requesting for years, Jabba’s Sail Barge, the Khetanna, the biggest Vintage Collection vehicle yet. And thanks to the fans, thanks to you, we did it. Now we’re back at HasLab with another dream project, and we need your help again to make it happen.


After the success of the Barge, the team spent some time thinking about the best product to follow up. We thought about dipping back into the Original Trilogy or maybe making something from the latest movie entertainment. But time and again we came back to something that was right there, on our TV, tablet, and laptop screens. Star Wars: The Mandalorian introduced a ship that quickly became an iconic part of The Mandalorian lore. It already has more Star Wars screen time than any ship besides the Millennium Falcon and was the centerpiece of some of the most memorable scenes in the series.


The more we talked about it, the more we appreciated the arc of that story. So much of The Mandalorian is inspired by the original Star Wars trilogy, and choosing something from the series resembles a passing of the torch: from classic to new, from movies to streaming, and from one designer to another.


The Hasbro Star Wars team wants to make a Vintage Scale Razor Crest, and we want to do it justice. With your help, we can.



This Vintage Collection Razor Crest is designed to be compatible with all of the Vintage scale figures. To do so, we had to make this thing pretty big. It’s going to be 30 inches long (with the main cannons), 20 inches wide, and 10.5 inches tall when it’s sitting on the landing gear.


That makes this one of the largest Vintage Collection vehicles we’ve ever made. But it’s not just about size with this one. When we decided to create this, we wanted to keep with the principles of The Vintage Collection and make sure there were plenty of highly detailed features that made this as close to screen accurate as we could get for one epic display piece.


  • The cockpit opens to reveal a fully detailed interior with three seats that fit Vintage Collection figures

  • Detachable engines and removeable hull panels to recreate the season 1 scenes of the Jawas breaking down the ship for scrap

  • A weapons locker with included, removeable, show-inspired weapons accessories to make sure your figures are always ready for whatever the galaxy throws at them

  • A carbon freezing chamber and cargo hold with cargo netting

  • Bounty hunters can make an entrance - or a fast exit - with opening rear and side doors and lowering ramps Removeable landing gear

  • Bunk area with space for a figure to hide


These are just some of the features you can expect in The Vintage Collection Razor Crest. Oh yeah, and we’re including a brand-new figure: the Mandalorian himself adorned in his Beskar armor, along with a one-of-a-kind soft-goods cape, so he can be easily placed in the cockpit.

About Me : As a child of the 70's and 80's I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force) and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licences - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
