Let's talk about the new Ahsoka and Mandalorian Wave of Black Series Figures for about 40 minutes 

That's why I'm also going to order R5-D4 with the pit droids as well.

Thanks so much, spot on.

Glad you liked it!

Thanks for watching!

Same here. I only buy Black Series (and some others) when they're reduced and at a price I can afford and think is worth it.

Baylan isn't only too short he needs to be bigger overall. He looked bulky and powerful in the show. As you say Shin is too tall. Swapping out legs is ok but could make the arms look too short/long. Like you Mike I think they all need extra hand options. Ones that are appropriate. Relaxed, fists, force push, pointing or just cupping a weapon like Valaverse have. Laser bolt effects and jet pack effects would add to the fun. R5 was always a favourite of mine. I felt sorry when he blew a motivator and R2 jumped the queue. Mando fleet commander looks cool. Funny how he seems to have Imperial shin armour.🤔 I have three Axe Woves. Two I painted up as random Mandos. They add toy enjoyment. I fixed the helmet warping the smeared vasseline on the heads before pumping a smidge of hot glue into the helmets. Now they fit well and are still removable. Star Killer looks cool but as they have the moulds why not give him a few accessories from the deluxe. Even only one extra pair of hands. Great review Mike. Id be Happy to see some Cosmic Legion reviews on your channel. Or GI Joe if you still collect them.👍

That’s fair man, and I appreciate the perspective of not wanting Figuarts pricing. And you’re right. There needs to be a balance.

Ok!

The starkiller set is sooo good.

Surprise!

Same

Ok!

Ok!

You’re absolutely right, I grabbed the wrong one of the shelf, but in my defense… they look the same to me. Hope your thanksgiving was great, Tom!

@@MikeKaess They are practically the same just a little color variations.

Not only do I mention that in the video, but I have a link to it in the information.

Nope, no removable panels on the head that I can tell. Hasbro did say that the attachments are meant to be shared around with all the new astromech droids. I’m still enjoying black series and classified. But there’s something special about Mythic and Cosmic legions. I like that it’s its own thing with its own lore. I like that they don’t have to worry about making them kid safe and mass produced. It really feels like a line geared towards collectors rather than the mass market in general.

R5 Definitely has a little red panel on the top back that pops off to hold the teeny little “bad Motivator” (“so how about the Blue One???”). Also, the thing with the big black end with tiny grey cylinder is the welder, the “taser” is the shock prod for Salacious Crumb and the thing you call the welder is the thing R2 uses to activate the Hyperdrive on the Falcon (and did NOT mean that to sound dickish at all, total Astromech fan (re: Nerd) here so just sharing the data since Hasbro for some bizarre reason didn’t include a manual, a tiny pack in sheet or even a web address/QR Code on the package to a web site to explain the features! Love the new R2 and can’t wait to get my R5 and they are indeed light years ahead of the ridiculously out of scale 5” series one droids. But these still aren’t perfect and here’s hoping it doesn’t take Hasbro 10 more freaking years to fix the admittedly much more minor issues with these fantastic Astromechs! Great review!

@@NewtonDKCI completely appreciate this! Figures absolutely need to come with something. I think a QR code to scan to get a run down of the figure and accessories would be super helpful.

Fingers crossed!

Yep! Me too. But I do wish he were taller. It’s hard to ignore.

That’s why I had to buy him twice!

They’re so tempting. And so good.

Yeah, it’s one of the things I realized I liked about PFP. The unboxing experience was so much less annoying. I’m glad you liked my approach here. But you’re also right, Baylan’s height isn’t the only issue. He’s a big guy, making him taller doesn’t necessarily fix that.

It is, I grabbed the wrong one off my shelf when I grabbed it to do the comparison.

@@MikeKaess, thanks for confirming! 🙂

Yeah, i dunked the helmet in some hot water and reshaped it. The image I put in the video of him has a fixed helmet.

I actually did talk about it. I went on a longish tangent about how figures we see in product shots or at livestream reveals are often hand painted prototypes. And how Shin’s face actually looks decent in person vs what we saw on the images.

@@MikeKaessMy bad, I missed your live content, I’ll correct that though,,,
