132. The History of Hasbro’s HasLab: The Star Wars Rancor Gets Crushed! (Part Two)

The campaign was sinking quickly.

Hampered by lackluster stretch goal offerings, a frustrated fanbase, and a campaign that surprisingly had lost hundreds of backers along the way, the Black Series Rancor was in danger of becoming the first Star Wars HasLab failure.

Would an action figure “Hail Mary,” in the form of Malakili the Rancor Keeper, reverse the backer bleed and help the Rancor cross the finish line into production?

Or was the 2021 project simply doomed from the start?

Join host David Quinn for part two of the most in-depth look at the crowdfunded campaign to bring the Rancor to life for fans across the globe.

This is the History of HasLab series. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!
