Retail Price: $449.99| HasLab backing and shipping details can be found below and on HasbroPulse.com .) Inspired by Star Wars: Attack of the Clones™, THE VINTAGE COLLECTION LAAT/I GUNSHIP is ready to descend on the Separatist army! If this campaign is successfully backed, the base offering will include: • STAR WARS: THE VINTAGE COLLECTION LAAT/I GUNSHIP • 2 vehicle stands • 2 Star Wars: The Vintage Collection exclusive 3.75-Inch Clone Trooper Pilot figures, each with 2 accessories • 2 sets of alternate forward nose art panels This crowdfunded project will run from July 25, 2025 to September 8, 2025. We need 8,000 backers to fund the base offering. If successful, the project will begin shipping around Fall 2026. ADDITIONAL HASLAB DETAILS The Vintage Collection LAAT/i Gunship transports you right to the heart of the first battle of the Clone Wars on Geonosis and its aftermath. In Star Wars: Attack of the Clones™, this speedy attack ship led the rescue mission of the Jedi remaining after Count Dooku and the Separatists’ assault, setting a cascade of rockets and laser fire onto the Separatist droid army. LAAT/i (Low Altitude Assault Transport/infantry) Republic ships can be seen in epic battles scenes across Star Wars, including the animated classic Star Wars: The Clone Wars™ and its more recent counterpart, Star Wars: The Bad Batch™. The HasLab team is thrilled to bring you one of the franchise’s most recognizable and celebrated vehicles. MOVIE-ACCURATE DESIGN Outfit your troopers for battle with this new gunship, upgraded from Hasbro’s smaller previous 3.75-inch-scale release. At approximately 28 inches long, 30.9 inches wide, and 10.6 inches tall (without the stand), this vehicle lets fans pose out their figures fully standing in the back of the ship. Plus, this upgraded ship features individually removable missiles from the rotary missile bays -- so you can change them out and deploy them for battle. Attention to detail in the pipes and paneling make this offering unique—under the removable side panels, you can see the sculpted inner workings of the ship, like the internal laser cannon details and forward crew compartment. And of course, the paint scheme and weathering are meticulously designed to reflect the ship’s appearance in Episode II. Working closely with Lucasfilm, our expert designers have taken the time and research to ensure this HasLab is the real deal. FEATURES & FUNCTION The ship features: 2 top missile launchers, each with 9 removable missiles (8 in rotating racks, 1 in “launch chamber”)* Cockpit with removable cover and seating for 2 figures 2 swiveling front bubble turrets that each open to sit a figure Slow-opening, hinged rear cargo hold side panels 4 removable missiles under each wing Click-in-place, wing-mounted rotary cannons Set of optional side panels for fully enclosed display option Inner sculpt details under removable forward panels 3 sets of interchangeable forward panels for different nose art looks 3 poseable laser cannons (2 in front, 1 in rear) Rear hinge-opening boarding ramp Hidden storage on the top of the ship behind the cockpit (with removable panel) “Flight mode” vehicle stand “Hover mode” vehicle stand *Note: Vehicle does not feature a launch mechanism READY TO FLY? EQUIP YOUR PILOTS Fans, we know you’ve been asking for troopers to pilot your vehicles—and we’re thrilled to bring you two with this HasLab! These clone trooper pilots are an upgrade from the limited-articulation pilots in our last LAAT/i release. This clone design includes a chest box that hangs from the helmet hoses, and of course features the signature yellow helmet detailing. As for accessories, they each come with a DC-15S medium blaster rifle and a DC-15A large blaster rifle. Torn between figure play and display? No worries—one clone is packed loose with the vehicle, and the other is packaged in a TVC blister card with a unique HasLab VC number for the option of in-pack display! ALTERNATE PANELS Looking to customize your gunship to depict different moments in the Star Wars canon? You’re in luck! The modular power is in your hands with two sets of alternate front nose art panels. These panels are pre-decorated to resemble different LAAT/i ships from across Star Wars movies and shows, like the Crumb Bomber. Pay tribute to your favorite gunship, or show off a more traditional look—the choice is yours! UNLOCK TIERS: BUILD OUT YOUR JEDI COUNCIL Tier 1: Coleman Trebor Exclusive Carded Figure (10,000 BACKERS) For the first time, Coleman Trebor gets the TVC treatment. Fans remember him as the towering Jedi who used his stealth to confront Count Dooku early in the battle. Though his brave attempt was cut short by Jango Fett’s blasters, this valiant Vurk is a niche favorite of the prequel trilogy. This uniquely sculpted figure comes in at over 4.5 inches tall within a 3.75-inch scale and includes his Lightsaber™, unlit hilt, soft goods Jedi robe, and an interchangeable Force hand. Tier 2: Saesee Tiin Exclusive Carded Figure (12,000 BACKERS) One of the courageous Jedi who helped rescue survivors at the Geonosis Arena, Saesee Tiin was a member of the Jedi Council during the final years of the Republic. We’re excited to debut this renowned Iktotch Jedi Master and starfighter pilot in TVC for the first time! Tiin comes with his Lightsaber™, unlit hilt, soft goods Jedi robe, and an interchangeable Force hand. Tier 3: Agen Kolar Exclusive Carded Figure (14,000 BACKERS) Of course, Saesee wasn't alone in his endeavors—we’d be remiss to leave out the Zabrak Jedi Agen Kolar! Another Council member who assisted survivors after the battle, fans will recognize him and Saesee Tiin as part of the squad that joined Mace Windu to round up Emperor Palpatine in Episode III. Agen is another first for TVC! He comes with his Lightsaber™, unlit hilt, soft goods Jedi robe, and an interchangeable Force hand. You can find all the SDCC 2025 news at our Conventions Newsfeed .

- SDCC 2025: NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
I do not profess to have a huge in-depth knowledge of the entire Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Universe, and therefore the vast array of new reveals, previews, and teases in the NECA booth at SDCC 2025 is difficult to break down and identify without the formal announcements and press details which will undoubtedly follow in the coming weeks and months. What we do know is that the original 1990s Turtles are being repacked and re-released in new Ultimate Format packaging with some updated accessories and parts. Other highlights include Raphael as Shredder and the 2012 Nickelodeon Animated Turtles. We also know that as per the TMNT presentation, NECA will also be releasing a crossover line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles X Fortnite, with a 4-pack coming in early 2026.
