Some people might look at the HasLab Cantina and think that it's only for people with years' worth of Star Wars figures to populate it. But why limit yourself to who was in the Cantina in a single move or TV show. This is your expensive toy to display the way you want.
Animation
So maybe you don't collect Star Wars figures at all. But I bet you like The Simpsons, right? Not the current ones, obviously, but like... seasons 4-9? And wouldn't this Cantina make a fantastic Moe's Tavern?

I can taste that Flamin' Moe now!
Movies
Or maybe you only enjoy artistic cinema. This is where the modularity of the Cantina really shines! With its alcoves and tables, the playset can represent several scenes from films like Pulp Fiction. You could set up the diner robbery, or use some of the included tables and chairs to set up Jimmy's kitchen where the Wolf can enjoy a cup of coffee before Bonnie gets home. But the ample space makes a perfect place for Mia and Vincent to compete in the dance contest at Jackrabbit Slim's.

Look out, Vincent! Someone let the Gimp out!
Classic TV
That doesn't do it for you? Well, like most people I assume you are searching for a display setting for your vintage 1981 Love Boat figures. Sure, Jabba's Sail Barge would make more sense. But, the Cantina really gives these figures room to breathe. Isaac looks right at home behind the Cantina's bar while Captain Stubing just tried to hold it all together. I wonder who this week's guest star will be!

When will Hasbro produce a quality Charro figure?
