UPDATE (7.25.2023): After launching their 2023 campaign less than a week ago, the HasLab Star Wars: The Vintage Collection The Ghost project has been fully backed! 8000 fans will be adding this impressive ship to their collections in fall 2024. While the base goal has been met, fans can continue to back the project which will unlock additional action figures of Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, and finally Garazeb “Zeb” Orrelios.
What’s Happening:
- One of the reasons fans attend SDCC is for the new merchandise announcements and Hasbro was sure to wow audiences with their upcoming line of toys and collectibles for the Black Series, Vintage Collection and Retro Collection.
- However, the most exciting announcement was about the 2023 crowdfunded HasLab project.
- This year the design team is focusing on the Ghost as it appears in Ahsoka and this version will be part of the Vintage Collection (3 ¾-inch scale) line. The base offering will come with a General Hera Syndulla figure.
- This HasLab project needs 8,000 backers to fund the base offering which is $499.99.
- If successful, the project will begin shipping Fall 2024, and it looks like they will be as 5,700 fans have already signed up in less than 24 hours after it went live.
- In addition to this amazing base offering, HasLab has several incredible unlock tiers tied to the Ghost. With each funding goal reached, guests will get another chance to recreate more iconic moments with characters from Star Wars: Rebels:
- Tier #1 (Threshold: 11,000 Backers): EZRA BRIDGER Exclusive Star Wars Rebels Vintage Collection Carded Figure
- Tier #2 (Threshold: 14,000 Backers): KANAN JARRUS Exclusive Star Wars Rebels Vintage Collection Carded Figure

- Ahsoka Tano is on a mission to protect a vulnerable galaxy in the aftermath of the fall of the Empire. To do so, she’s enlisting help from some old allies – ones that once knew her as “Fulcrum.” Enter the well-loved starship that the Spectre crew once called home.
- The Ghost is not just any ship. It’s been highly requested by you, the fans, not just for its intricate design but for everything it represents: the beginnings of the Rebel Alliance, the power of resilience and found family, and maintaining hope against all odds.
