Hot Toys R5-D4, Pit Droid & BD-72 TMS086 Unboxing and Review. Are THESE The Droids UR Looking For? 

Yeah I can't argue with that tbh!! Regaining a whole room-sized area in your house definitely warrants chucking away the boxes! You must have a pretty sizeable collection 👍🏻 And you're right I definitely feel like a hoarder 😅 I'm sticking a lot of the boxes in the attic and it's definitely going to start getting tricky to fit anything else in there soon 😬 Maybe one day I will be forced to become a box chucker too! 😱😅 Thanks for watching and dropping a comment, much appreciated 👍🏻🙌

@@TK421Collectibles , it wasn't easy. I understand part of the cost of the fig is the box and they are works of art in a way. But damn, it was starting to become a annoying problem after over 50 HT figs. 🙂I love your channel.

Thanks for the kind words mate really appreciate it 😃🙌

Haha thanks mate! 😀👍🏻

Cheers Bryan! Was surprised how many droids they've released tbh! Thanks for watching and commenting! 😀👍🏻

Woo cheers SomeGuy!! 😀👍🏻

Yeah love R5!! Bit underwhelmed at first though because I think HT spoilt us with the quality of C-3PO and R2 😅 But yeah R5 looks amazing on the shelf 👌 Thanks for watching Mandy!! 👍🏻😀

Cheers Beskar Kid!! Agreed, would be great to get more droids!! 😀🙌

Yes!! Droids and Jawas are a must-have. Would look fantastic in the Mando diorama with the N1!! 👊🏻

Appreciate you're super busy so thanks for taking the time to check the video out too! 😀🙌

They're scattered around the collection so didn't realise how many HT have done tbh! Seems to have expanded over the last year or so! 😀 Still jel of your Chopper though!! 😅 Big congrats on that pick up Mandy 👌🔥

@@TK421Collectibles Jase is a genius for sure and a great guy. His little dish and aerial didn’t print so I tried to make them. After several failed attempts, a couple of tiny cutting disks and a tiny spring, and a rubber grommet sorted it lol. It’s moveable too.

@@mandyburton9798 that’s awesome! Very talented and imaginative to come up with that fix! Didn’t even realise from looking at the photos as it just all worked perfectly together! 👍🏻

Hey Andrew!! Yes it's a great set all things considered, and it's great to have these represented in the collection! Ah yes it was great being on Mr. Mom Collectibles stream, he's a total professional and clearly has a passion for collecting and content creation. And thank you for the kind words mate!! Its a nice milestone to hit 😀 Yeah I hope you stay tuned, I'm really looking forward to checking out these BARC speeders!!

Definitely mate!! Would absolutely love to see HT bring out more droids and especially creatures and aliens! I think they could really do justice to some of the characters considering how amazing Cad Bane was and C-3PO etc!! 🙌 Thanks for watching! 😀👍🏻

HAHA! It's definitely up to the individual collector what they do with the box 😅 (but I definitely get triggered when I see them binned 🤣). Cheers mate, yeah for ANH fans it's probably a must-have for the collection, it's just a bit over-priced for what it is. Thanks for watching and for supporting the channel mate, you legend!! 😀👍🏻

You're not wrong tbh! It was a bit lacklustre but the paint apps on R5 are great so it does look pretty good on the shelf to be fair to it. But yeah could have done with some moving panels maybe or bit extra something in the set considering the price. And yeah could they have done a separate set with 3 pit droids? Maybe! That would have been cool. A bonus Razor Crest is pushing it a bit tho dude! 😅 Thanks for checking out the vid 👊🏻 [edit] I'm a droid lover too btw (also not like that!! 😅)

Cheers mate!! Peli Motto and 3 pit droids would be a great set!! Great idea re: the Jawa too haha! I missed that opportunity! Cheers for watching! 😀🙌

I like the idea of R2 telling R5 that he was on an important mission and needed to be purchased by Luke so he could reach Obi-Wan. So R5 blew up his own motivator so that Luke would then suggest getting R2 instead! R5 = ultimate hero of the rebellion 😄😃

Yes 2 pit droids would definitely have made the set better value, But yeah overall I’m super happy with the set now I see them on the shelf 😃 Thanks for watching mate and for the continued support with the channel! 🙏🏻😀

R5 + Gonk = Star Wars!! 😀

Yeah from what I’ve heard you probably have the best version anyway so makes sense to stick with the Sideshow one 👍🏻

Thank you mate! Yeah it did seem a tad overpriced! I think now its on the shelf I will try to forget about the lack of features, and just appreciate it for being R5 from ANH represented in the collection 😀 but you're right lots of missed things and opportunities for greatness with this set! Cheers for watching! 😀👍🏻

The price from most retailers was crazy wasn't it! I can't figure out why tbh. Even a smaller run shouldn't bump the price up so much at retail. Hopefully if they do the Mando S3 version it will be priced a bit more sensibly!! Thanks for watching mate! 🙌😃

Thanks Pablo! Agreed another Pit droid would have probably justified the price. But yeah you’re still going to love it I reckon!! Thanks for the kind words and for watching 😀👍🏻

Cheers Daniel!! Thought you might be wanting to get this one! Hope you don't have to pay too much via eBay tho!! 😟 I was surprised how many droids have been released actually. But getting them all together was inspired by the video you did on your channel a while back!! Cheers for the inspo 😀🙌

@@TK421Collectibles Cheers, Chris! I looked at buying just the pit droid (on ebay) but they want so much for it I might as well buy the whole set. I have my eyes on so many figure sets at this moment (including two in a whole new rabbit hole!) it's a matter on deciding which is more important at the moment (and I can afford 🤣🤣).

Oh wow! I'm intrigued about the new rabbit hole!!!

The good the bad were doing it for £260 I think which was the best price I saw anywhere. Prices everywhere else were daft!

Quite possibly! I've never had the Sideshow version so couldn't really comment either way on that in the video. I've seen a photo of them side-by-side and must admit the Sideshow one did look better. But yeah I couldn't fairly compare them without having them both in the collection tbh. You are correct this Hot Toys one has no opening panels and only 4 accessories (the 2 antennas, bad motivator and hologram projector) BUT you do get a pit droid and BD-72 😀 Thanks for watching and dropping a comment! 😀👍🏻

I have them both and personally, like the 10-year -old SS one better. The dome panels open better on a hinge and it just has more weight to it and a more qualitative feel to it IMO. :)

Thank you mate! It's great to have this droid represented in the collection I must admit. Regarding when yours will turn up, I got my Battle Droid day 1 release from Hong Kong. Your store will get a later batch hence the time difference between us receiving the figures I'm guessing. So this set isn't day 1 first batch, its a later batch so you may get yours sooner than you think! I have everything crossed for you because I think you'll like this one 🤞 Ah yeah no issue then if you always display your droids panels-shut 😀 My R2 has a panel open because he's hooked up to the power charger thingy 😅 Yep, think I got a bit of a faulty switch with the Dark Trooper as when its switched off it still seems to be drawing power from the batts. I did push a small piece of thin plastic between the batteries to cut the circuit but it must have fallen out! I'll replace the batteries tho and do that again because the light up effect is cool!!

@@TK421Collectibles Thanks dude, I hope it comes soon, I'm really looking forward to it. I want to do a display with farm boy luke, jawa and R5 with the little sand bases that came with the Jawa. Oh ok, I Forgot about that power unit for R2, it's mad how easy it is to forget the accessories and alternate clothes that come with figures when you've had them on display in one way for so long. The same thing happened with one of my sideshow droids, it's frustrating. Yeah I think the lights really make that figure because it's so dark and one tone that it just pops with the red lights. I'm starting to put things together for my youtube channel finally. I'm hoping to focus on 1/6 scale and a little project to collect the original 96 star wars figures but in the form of new Retro collection figures. I might do more stuff but I have to start somewhere. I definitely want to start with a few new hope figures, both sideshow and hot toys and also Lord of the rings 1/6 scale. I will let you know when I start putting things up but it will probably be a little while because there's too much going on at the moment.

Your R5 display sounds like it is going to look epic! Oh indeed, there are definitely accessories and outfits left in boxes that I've completely forgot about too! 😅 Dark Trooper is an amorphous black blob of metal without those lights 😅 You've actually motivated me to pick some replacement batteries up sooner rather than later tbh! And yeah please let me know when your channel is up and running. Looking forward to seeing your amazing collection! 👍🏻

@@TK421Collectibles 🤣I couldn't have put it better myself, it's a strange one, with no good lighting it just turns into a featureless metal shadow. Thanks for the encouragement dude, I definitely will let you know, don't expect too much haha

Not sure yet tbh 😅 I need to watch it again! Reminds me of something but I just can’t put my finger on what!!

@@TK421Collectibles this is Sparta 300 ,Immortals.

yesssssss, that's it. pretty cool. Will be giving it another watch very soon 👀😀

Ah mate I've waited 32 years to see a live-action Thrawn, so I was absolutely blown away when I saw him 🤯 And yeah you probably guessed it... I'm SUPER exciting for a 1/6 scale interpretation of this character. And the fact he's now a lot older than he was in Rebels, Hot Toys are going to do an AMAZING job on this as they're masters of the older looking sculpt 😀 I can imagine the figure now, the blue skin really popping against that crisp white uniform. And those piercingly malevolent red eyes glowering at you from the shelf! It's going to be epic announce it right now Hot Toys and take my money!!! 🤑😅

@@TK421Collectibles Haha! Dude I've never heard you this excited about a figure. I sense a GRAIL!

Haha!! Yeah I read the books when I was growing up so for me Thrawn has always been a big part of Star Wars since the early 90’s. So to see him on the big(ish) screen with the prospect of a figure too is just fantastic 😀👍🏻 Definitely Grail material as I think there will be a lot of collectors who have a similar fondness for those books and the character.

@@TK421Collectibles That's crazy, it's mad how oblivious I've been to all of these characters. I've always been a big fan of star wars ever since I was about 4 years old and I had never even heard of the character until a couple of years ago. To me star wars was always the original trilogy and the games until the prequels came out and then the new movies and now the TV series. Its like I was switched off to this strange other world of Star Wars.

If I hadn't read the books I probably would have been the same and would just not have discovered the character either! I've not read any of the comics and there's loads of characters there too that I know little/nothing about!

Cheers Todd!! Yeah the set was a little overpriced from a lot of retailers, The Good The Bad The Robots done a great price on it tho so was glad to get it in the collection 😀 Thanks for watching mate 😀👍🏻

​@@TK421Collectiblesok am going to get this set, as it will go so well with my Mandalorian diorama display. Had to watch this video again to make up my mind lol. So it's your fault am getting this set bud.

@@toddscollectibles980 you made a great decision!! Definitely going to look great in the Mando display! The R5 feels a bit cheaper than a HT R2-D2 but if you have that in mind you won’t be disappointed with this set mate 👍🏻 Thanks for watching the video (again!) 😃👊🏻
