Hasbro in a last-ditch effort to get their
Star Wars Black Series Haslab Campaign for the Rancor funded, they have decided to add one more item to the mix. The much demanded
6" Black Series Rancor Keeper figure. This is the statement they just released on their social media:
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
The Rancor campaign back on November 19th had 5,134 backers, and then they revealed all four stretch goals for the project which included Solacious B. Crumb a Gamorrean Guard, Jedi Luke and a cardboard backdrop and some bone accessories. Since then the campaign has been bleeding backers and is currently sitting at 4,755. With under a week to go Hasbro is now going to add the Rancor Keeper figure if it meets it's minimum goal of 9k. Will it be enough to bring fans back on board and reach the goal? I guess only time will tell.
