Darth Sidious and Super Battle Droid Review - Star Wars Black Series 

I definitely had the blast effect upside down which was causing it to point slightly upward, if you flip it it's more straight in line with the arm.

Absolute pure hype. Prequel film characters in the Black Series?!?! Say it ain't so!

Now we are missing a Sheev Palpatine action figure before he fights Mace and the other Jedis. "It's treason then"

That battle Droid is beautiful

I can understand your dislike of soft goods from the black series, a lot of the time they can come out looking frumpy. But since making my own customs I’ve come to really love fabric. A trick I use to give textiles more weight and shape is running them under cold water

I preordered two of the battle droids I don’t have the original one, but they look pretty kool.

I got Sidious in last week, I am in like with the figure. I know some complain about the body being reused from Luke but I don’t have an issue with it. He’s been my most wanted figure in the line and finally I have it

Kinda just wish the hood came down a bit further.

looks like the robot chicken sidious

Oh! You or one of your artists should sculpt a cloak for Sidious for a resin 3d print! Kinda like the jedi robes you did. Maybe one static and one action pose? The sleeves might be tricky, but I'm sure whatever design you came up with would be amazing! Great review as always!

I pre order Darth sidious, can't wait to get mine 😁

I want that battle droid, and I'd get Palpy if he actually had a cloth hood or at least a replacement hood part so you can take out the hood and see more of the head.

The hilt is really nicely detailed

Great video! Still waiting to get the Battle Droid, but Darth Sidious is currently my favorite Black Series of the year. I've been wanting Hasbro to make him for a while now and he doesn't disappoint for me.

Landspeeder Luke was always right about soft goods, pass it on 🗣️

I knew I liked Luke for a reason and it’s because he too despises soft goods. I think it’s necessary for certain figures like give Mando soft good so his Jetpack can fit on his back but otherwise soft plastic cape. One of my personal biggest grapes with soft goods is Asajj Ventress that dress is tacky looking and it’s not like they didn’t have a soft plastic covering from the original figure that the lower half is mostly reuse of dark Rey.

Great review I'm definitely going to pick up both when they arrive down under

So pumped for these fellows here ! Thanks for the sneak peak!

I am super excited to pick these up. All the new prequel figures and rereleases this year has me super hyped.

I'm with you. I generally loathe how soft goods look at this scale.

I want good posability out of my action figures, so him having soft goods robes is great. Black Series have been improving with soft goods lately. I hate when figures are just traffic coned by inflexible plastic robes. I would've prefered a soft goods hood too, but this looks decent enough, though it seems to sit a little high. The Super Battle Droid looks like a beast. Good that they gave us a laser blast effect. Everyone with a blaster should have one.

Luke when are we going to get a Savage? One might think that he would be exclusive but we would pay….

Both are looking fantastic! Might be top two of the year! Guess only time will tell. Great review as always man.

"I've been looking forward to this"

I'm so excited for Ep3 Darth Sidious

I overpaid to get sidious early from Canada and I'm very excited!

Wow! Nice review 🙏 How do you always get yours so early? My Jedi acolyte figures (for customs) And my b2 droids and Palps don’t even say they’ve arrived or shipped yet from Hasbro pulse

I bet there is going to be a multi pack with Darth Sidious grimacing head battling a Jedi either Yoda or Mace Windu.

I was just watching one of your older videos, haha. Never clicked a notification so fast!

Theese look awesome nice video awesome background and showcasing aswell!

Got em both ordered, just waiting for them to come in. Loved all 6 of the Prequel beat figures we got and hope we get more next year! Hoping some more updates named clones from RotS as well

Preordered both on Amazon

They're looks perfect, I like Darth Sidious figure with his lightsaber. And also Super Battle Droid is a same 2 packs.

I would love a small video on how you were able to get rid of the dirt paint on the super battle droid.

You should get some black bobby pins. They work great on gathering capes etc and you can hide them easily.

Actually so hyped for these

The Senate is looking slick!

I'm hoping they did this hood to match the soft goods as perfectly as they did with the Offworld Jawa.

These are great figs! Shame about the hood on the Palpatine but I agree, it looks really good.

Another day, another great video from you! 👏

Hybrid plastic and soft goods is the way to go if they’re dead set on giving us cloth instead of flexible robes like the imports

1000000% picking them up

Just about 2 months ago I started looking into Black Series and it's so stupid that they didn't have these figures earlier. I know that Disney is forcing them to make newer stuff from their shows but both Disney and Black Series know that these 2 figures would sell magnitudes better than anyone from the Ahsoka show.

The Senate!

Can the lightning hands be put on the rotj palps?

These have superseded my expectation 💥

Although I’m not super interested in them I was surprised to see both of these at my local GameStop here in Canada, I was half tempted to get Palps lol

1:38 Isn't this an incorrect hilt colorway for this version of Sidious? This was his hilt in the Palpatine vs. Windu fight. During his duel with Yoda, the hilt was the same design but with a dark bronze color. This can be seen in a close-up shot of Sidious swinging the saber, promotional images when he's wearing this outfit, and a Star Wars Episode III Lightsaber Props video.

Pope Ratzinger 😛

How does the colour on the ROTS packaging compare to the one from Mando?

Need the Darth Sidious😭🙏

I despise soft goods too!

Where did you get him so early from?? All the main toy stores is still preorder x.x

Isn´t Darth Sidious figure supposed to come out on October?

ROTS best Star Wars film

Both figures are pretty cool. Will have to get them. Where did you get your Oola figure from?

So now that we finally have a Revenge of the Sith line, I hope that this means that we will finally get a newer version of episode 3 Anakin and Obi-Wan. Throw in a pregnant Padmè while you’re at it!

Ok but, why did they leave the middle area of Palps' outer robes the same wine red color? Its supposed to be black like his shoulder cape and sleeve cuffs!

Personally I prefer the cloth hoods. I think they had the right idea with the Kylo ren reissue, the one with the 2 stitches in the hood to make it sit right. They perfected it with malgus though by gluing it down, and I wish they did it here too. Having the entire figure cloth and then a plastic hood just looks weird to me If done right like malgus’ is, then figures like sidious and Revan would look infinitely better

I will always have your back on hating on soft goods and I agree that the soft goods on Darth Sidious don't make me hate them (not love but no hate).

Do you think a head/neck swap would be particularly difficult on palpatine?

Nice review! Are palpatine's arms also the same as BOBF Luke? I wanna give Luke lightning hands for some reason lol

nice

ya tengo al palpatine version Archive y ordene la version de Amazon con el trono. Crei que no me convenceria la version del Revenge og the Sith, pero ahora que veo la reseña me arrepiento, se ve muy bien.

Sidious has such an adorable naughty face. ❤

What Vader, and what soft goods do you have displayed next to Palpatine?

Vader figures a dime a dozen. Meanwhile this is like the second palpatine in Black Series when he's like the big bad of the whole saga!

The plastic robes are not that great it ruins the jedis tbh .

Hasbro is so freaking lazy. I really hoped that sidious would have been good. The fact that hasbro reused Luke's lower body and re used the lightning effects from the old one sure shows. What ashame...
