As far as Star Wars ships go, it doesn't get much more iconic than The Ghost from Star Wars Rebels. With that beloved ship (and her crew) making the jump to live-action in the upcoming Star Wars: Ahsoka series, what better time for Hasbro to reveal a new Ghost vehicle set?
As just announced at Comic-Con, Hasbro is developing a high-quality and extremely large version of The Ghost as part of the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection line. The ship measures a whopping 28 inches by 34 inches and sits at over 13 inches tall, making it the biggest Vintage Collection vehicle since the Jabba's Sail Barge set.
Check out the slideshow gallery below for a closer look at this most impressive Star Wars toy:
Naturally, The Ghost includes a number of interactive features, including a removable Phantom II shuttle that plugs into the back of the ship. The Ghost features an opening front ramp, removable landing gear, a rotating cannon turret, crew and captain's quarters and a cockpit big enough to seat four figures. In total, the ship has enough room to seat as many as 15 Vintage Collection figures. The vehicle also comes with an exclusive Hera Syndulla figure featuring a Star Wars Rebels cardback.
There is one catch, however. Given the size and cost involved, The Ghost won't be sold as a normal retail release. Instead, like Jabba's Sail Barge, it's being crowdfunded through Hasbro's HasLab platform. The campaign will run from July 21 at 2:45pm PT to September 6 at 8:59pm PT, and it'll need at least 8000 backers to enter production.
Hasbro is including several stretch goals in the campaign that will allow collectors to assemble more of Hera's classic Spectre crew. Ezra Bridger will be unlocked at 11,000 backers, followed by Kanan Jarrus at 14,000 and Zeb Orrelios at 17,000. Like Hera, these figures will come on exclusive Star Wars Rebels cardbacks.
Assuming The Ghost is successfully funded, Hasbro expects the set to begin shipping in Fall 2024. Let us know in the comments if you plan on backing this campaign.
