After a slow start and a nailbiter of a last week the inaugural Hasbro HasLabs crowd funding project has passed and exceeded everyone’s expectations in it’s final hours.   Fans were excited when the Barge backing finally hit the “minimum  backers needed to move forward” mark of 5000 in the final 48 hours:

With a little under 48 hours left the numbers continued to climb and exceeded everyone’s expectations with a final tally of 8810:

When the dust settled the team at Hasbro and HasLabs had a message for all the fans and all of the project backers:

“What an AMAZING 45 days. As our first-ever #HasLab project comes to a close, the entire Star Wars team would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to all of the fans that supported The Khetanna. You #BackedTheBarge!!!”

It will be fascinating to watch the process of this project be built over the next year.  We will keep bringing you updates as they are available!

Congratulations to everyone involved with this project from all of us here at ActionFigureInsider!
