Hasbro 6" Black Series Star Wars line

[NAZGUL-KING]

Over the last 24 hours it went up about 20 per hour, but they are piling on now - 125 over the last hour.

.

Yeah, it's over 6100 and rising. With 8 hours left, I don't see it failing.

Yes we can fix slavery by ignoring that it ever existed.

Well, Morgan Freeman thinks that you can end racism by not talking about it.

Sorry Femi Taylor.

Yes, the black woman who loved playing the character and was thrilled to be able to reprise her role. Good thing we have white liberals running Disney who know how "problematic" such characters are for people of color. They certainly know best.

They’ve sent me 6 emails in the past hour about the Rancor. “Srsly, Only hours left, this is your last chance!”

Go screw yourselves Hasbro. I remember seeing the prototype at SDCC years ago in their dungeon palace diorama and thinking “man, that would be really cool”. Clearly this has been in development for years. They’re such scam artists, they have most of this crap ready to go. The “updates” are a facade. I bet it goes into production. They couldn’t risk it not going into it otherwise.

 

[Khev]

Yep I just got this email too. Interesting disclaimer they put there, lol.

The face articulation is stupid and would be a dissuading factor for me if I were collecting Black Series but maybe it'd be a good idea if they put a figure or 2 next to it for a scale comparison - maybe even show it next to the 3.75'' scale Rancor.

Because in that shot above it just doesn't look impressive at all. I'm not getting any sense of its size - it could be a Galoob action fleet for all I know.

Also, good to see you back DiFabio

 

[MaulFan]

There is this one, though it lacks WOW.

 

[a-dev]

Well there you go. I think they should be pushing more pics like that than the Rancor all by his lonesome.

Such a touching scene.

"Hey big guy, the sun's gettin' real low," lol.

Holy crap even his palm is open lol

This project’s dead. Time to look at how well their Boba Fett helmets sell and how successful the Proton pack HasLab is and just do a Jetpack prop next. Any of the Fett Jetpacks.

Lol at jye's emoji.

We have crossed 7k with a little over 2 hours to go. I kinda hope they come up about 150 short just for the sheer entertainment value. I want to see what Hasbro would do? Although I bet they have plans in place to artificially push it across the finish line in that scenario.

Yeah I doubt they would ever allow this to publicly fail.

I think the "artificial pushing" may have been going on all day

Last time I was watching it was jumping 100s every 20 seconds, then dropping in increments of 10, only to shoot back up.

Definitely wouldn’t surprise me if they were artificially inflating and adjusting it.

I still think they'll never top the original 80s Rancor toy. The moving jaw feature that worked from the hidden lever on the back? So awesome. I knew the guy that originally sculpted it for Kenner back in the day. He sold the original wax sculpture around 1999 or so to make a car payment and was criminally underpaid for what's gotta be a priceless artifact. I felt so bad for the guy.

I got the first POTF2 Rancor in the late 90s. What a piece of garbage. Couldn't stand up. Made of that squishy Jurassic Park dinosaur material. I hated it. I was so disappointed. I gave it away not long after getting it.

Definitely seems like Hasbro are cooking the books on this one. This thing's barely moved in weeks except backwards, and now we have potentially 2k+ backers coming out of the woodwork in the last two hours? I don't buy it.
