It is CRAZY how long it took for Hot Toys to make Battle Droids and Clones and other prequel characters. It is like as if they thought most people still hated the prequels.
It looks very accurate and better made than the sideshow ones. The sculpt is on point and the weathering doesn't disappoint. The only minor critique I have is that they haven't added the paint chips that show the white primer underneath, but other than that, I'll be picking this one up.
Beautiful figure! I do prefer the tan ones from Phantom Menace but I really want a battle droid. I’m torn on getting this one or waiting for an announcement.
but I was looking forward to adding to my sandy footprints base collection! Nice to see how well designed this guy is. It is fun to see that he can be rolled into transport mold.
Welcome back, Justin! Please keep up the great work, love your detailed review on this awesome SW figures and really appreciate all the work you put behind the scenes!
quality vid again justin.. kinda want to collect hot toys but i can't find a hot toys reseller here in the Philippines but soon i will start my hot toys collection..
I'm very excited to get these in hand! (I bought 4 of them) Sorry if I missed this in your review, but does he have any metal parts? The feet maybe? He looks beautiful on Anakins STAP with the contrast of Geonosis colors and the blue. I'm wondering if his feet magnetize to the pedals.
I been buying up a-lot of Hot Toys Sixth Scale figures these past few months and always enjoy you're videos. Had to look up you're review on him because I got him earlier today and even though he does feel fragile, he's a pretty solid figure. I might keep him in Transport mode until I obtain the Super battle droid, Darth Sidious and Padme. Still debating on Mace Windu but definitely need to get Anakin and maybe down the line Count Dooku. He just doesn't seem to fit in with my KX-Enforcer Droid or IG-11 or The Mandalorian Set of figures lol
Coming back to this, what is Hot Toys doing? Do they realize how well the original tan battle droids would sell, the amount of money from collectors and army builders they'd get from that version! They need to seriously consider at least announcing the regular version, because then at least we can get an estimated year time, but right now it's looking like past 2025 (for a mold they already have mind you)!
So is Hot Toys making way fewer figures now, or is international shipping still messed up that it'll be a bit before these get to the US. I've never seen so many figures unavailable after the preorder window
Do you think Hot Toys will make the security battle droid? The one with red markings we see in Revenge of the Sith once Anakin and Obi Wan land on the Invisible Hand
@@JustinsCollection It seems to just fit with the orange sand of Geonosis, you know? Oh, and that's how they're described to look in most officual/canon continuties of Star Wars.
You asked Justin, so I checked. Antennas is correct for what the droid has on his back. Antennae, like you said, is for bugs. Loved this review btw, I got so excited when i saw the thumbnail, even though I'm not a collector.
If they were full metal I'd consider getting one, really disappointing that they arn't considering the price :/ Also why not use a magnet to attach the blaster to the backpack :s Ah you said about the magnet (hadn't watched the full thing when I wrote this xD)
I like how hot toys didnt just make the same version as sideshow, now people who have the sideshow one can use that version jn a phantom menace display and have still have someolace to put this one
I’ve got two of these bad boys coming and I cannot wait! I plan on displaying one with C-3PO head and one regular. I really hope that the B-1 will be the CIS version of the clones and we will get variants from Hot Toys. 🤞 pick up two super battle droids and have them flank Dooku. Do you think we will ever get a Commando battle droid?
Wow that battle droid is a wonderful figure plus It has so much more detail than all of my black series figures! And what’s funny is That it has the C-3PO head! And yeah you can say both antenna or antennai so it’s alright lol. But wow that is a masterpiece of a figure! 🤩
I love how hot toys sometimes just gives some figures alternate modes even though next to nobody will ever display them kike than and at nkst take a few photos but do it anyway. I.e irom man mk7 in pod mode
It's so tempting to grab this - but I am specifically waiting for OOM-9 (The droid commander from Episode 1). I love the original tan Droids, so if the next B1 they announce isn't OOM-9, then I'll settle with tan. Not a huge fan of the Geonosis B1 Paint Scheme. I wonder when they'll do a Super Battle Droid. I'd pay a LOT for that.
