Kia ora, and welcome to Middle Aged Kiwi Man Collecting Star Wars Figures, or MAKMCSWF for short. This channel is dedicated to sharing my enthusiasm for collecting 3.75" Star Wars figures, especially The Vintage Collection. It features videos of my collection as well as figure reviews and discussion. Mauri ora and may the Force be with you!
This is one of the few OTC figures I never found. Granted, there were some terrible figures repacked in OTC (this being an example) and I skipped some on purpose, but I would have bought this just for the accessory.
Oh i would like the scanning gear and boxes and stuff.. but i think i'll start thinking about the 3d printer route! Hopefully we get a new scanning crew at some stage i'd love them or a mixed imperial four pack.
i only discovered toyco about a year ago, i don't know if its really sad in that time Popguardian i was also using moved away from Hasbro completely.. the issues with Hasbro are just too big and the mark up on the figures seems too small considering Amazon just out competes everyone. It is sad to have one less option i guess but Retailers inside NZ haven't had the backbone to stand up to Hasbro in years.. when Hasbro pulse becomes world wide Hasbro wont even bother providing them items anymore imo.
@@kiwimanMAKMCSWF Gamestop being Ebgames in AU/NZ nets us a couple of exclusives plus the fact we don't have walmart/target we sometimes get lucky. I don't mind waiting longer for figures a week or two isn't too much for me as long as i know figures aren't being cancelled, but even mightyape have been harder to order from as they'll stock and not bother putting up preorder's before hand. That said its likely suppliers screwing everyone...
Glad you were able to get this one into the collection! A really neat figure that has me pretty excited for the Ghost. Haha also I wonder if we have more palace blasters or Grogus yet in TVC? 🤘😁✌
Like you, I have all 3 of the carded TVC Grogu figures, but I also have the Retro Grogu. I'm all for getting small characters like Yoda, Power Droid, Kuiil, etc. but Grogu is an accessory.
Aside from it appearing similar to the "Rescue Set Grogu" & already having a Beskar Vest (the new one which can ultimately go with The Armorer and the Forge Playset), I have to say that it isn't just the cardback that attracts me to this figure...It is the interior of this new updated Pram! Now we just need a accurately damaged Pram, from the attempted feeding to the Mamacore on Trask. Until then, for other figures that we don't yet have but would very much like to own; try Today's Special. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pSL-zQMFH9Y.html Thank You!🙂
I’ve ended up securing one with saved points at my hobby store for a discount. I’ll have one and that’ll be it. I’m hopeful the figure will be as good as I’ve seen. I’ll get Zeb at a discount since I don’t think he’ll be as popular as Kanan. Crossing my fingers for Peridia Ezra so I can complete the crew in my own way.
Jason: you managed to make even a review of this pretty lame figure entertaining and enjoyable. So congrats! And thanks. No plans here to open Beach Blanket Bingo Grogu at the moment. Maybe if I end up doing a Mando Beach scene down the line. Cheers!
I'm hoping IG-12 comes to TVC soon. I loved that episode and the 6 inch version looks awesome. There is a new Grogu coming with the Armerour's forge set. Cheers
I just got Ezra, but I can't wait to get Kanan, but it looks like I have to wait another month on him & Zeb. That overhand chopping pose is awesome, can't wait until Kanan finally arrives!
This is a really great looking figure. A lot of times I don't like how the cartoony-looking characters translate to realistic-looking figures, but Kanan nailed it. Chopper and Zeb both look fairly bad next to the rest of the crew.
Kia ora, Randy. This is an awesome Jedi figure, perfectly executed. I agree the translation to realistic worked well. The only minor thing for me, is similar to Cal Kestis, I don't have a massive attachment to this character.
Thanks for your review 👍 Contender for 'best released figure of the year' so far? Caveat being of course that (I don't think) there have been many 'all new' figures released this year at this exact point in time. .
Great video, Jason! I do like the Sith Trooper, it's one of my favorite troop builders, and I put a black Shadow Trooper pauldron on my 162A Sith Trooper so he could be a squad leader. And my flat black attempt on Vader failed. Have to wash it off and will attempt a flat clear coat on the tabbards this upcoming weekend.
They are fantastic perfect for army building. They are cheaper and don't have all that flimsy articulation. Good solid figure. All I need is a neutral pose. Nobody is buying them so more for me lol It does remind me of POTF2 but the head sculpt is far superior. Love the other sized gun
