Star Wars Black Series Archive Wave 1 Boba Fett, Bossk, Luke, and IG-88 Hasbro Action Figure Review 

De-valuing? Ridiculous. I’ve been collecting since the beginning and I’m glad these were released again. I think it’s ridiculous the prices these figures were going for on the second market. I want every person who wants these figures to have access to them a reasonable prices. I have to say though, that new Luke face is kinda disappointing.

I missed the original Black Series Boba Fett, and absolutely refuse to pay scalper prices. ABSOLUTELY REFUSE!!! I will not support a scalper doing their dirty work. So I was really glad to find the re-released Boba Fett. I picked one up after work at Walmart for a smooth $20. 😁

If you buy toys just because of rarity or value than please go buy fancy cars or rich shoes people collect these figures because they love the characters and universe they come from and to deny someone that joy just because you want to feel special is sad.

Your joy and enthusiasm makes me happy. I too collect for...fun. Not for profit. I get what I like. Love your positive reviews.👍

I, being super young, am super happy with this packaging because it is the packaging of my childhood

Hope Hasbro comes out with an Archive "Bespin Luke", soon.

This is also works for people like me. Originally started collecting with the first wave (had X-Wing Luke, R2D2, Sandtrooper, Greedo, Darth Maul and the Prototype Fett). Had to sell them shortly after, as I was in a bad place monetarily speaking. Been back collecting Black Series pretty hardcore since shortly after Rogue One, and these are perfect vs. trying to pay after-market prices for the originals on eBay.

I’m glad Hasbro is re-releasing its greatest hits. It gives a chance to collectors like myself, whom got into the BS line not from the beginning, to obtain desirable figures that are way overpriced on the secondary market.

Luke is a little disappointing. I was hoping for Hoth Leia level goodness. Does the new Luke head fit on the farm boy Luke body? I wanna do a head swap and use the x-wing figure body for a custom.

I'm extremely they put these out. I didn't start on the line until last year this time. I was not going to pay the ridiculous prices on the secondary market. It seems they wouldn't have any reason not to have re-released them and cash in on the money from the secondary market. Thanks fro the review, as always.

I’ve had to return too many figures due to production errors, one leg being shorter then other. Blister packaging seems to make that impossible. However I’m incredibly happy that they’re rereleasing figures I missed.

Does this mean we can get a Black Series X-wing fighter now? PLEEEEEASSSSE??? And maybe retool the TIE fighter for OT???

Great review, I’m glad they rereleased Boba Fett cause I was never able to find him before

The people who complain about de-valuing the figures are the scalpers, or perhaps those who paid over retail value on the secondary market. I am glad to see that these figures have been re-released for those who were not able to find figures on the original release.

Hasbro keeps retooling the Clonetroopers and Imperial officer figures, which is cost effective for them, and makes fans happy. I'd like to see them do the same with Rebel pilots. Make one a bit taller, then mix and match parts with new headsculpts and paint apps. Like in the 4 inch line, Porkins would need his own dedicated sculpt, but if they made his life support system removable like Jaina, they could reuse it for Wilrow Hood. You can have that one for free, Hasbro.

I’m super glad they rereleased these, I have usually been an import only collector but thanks to years of watching your videos (and yes you are the best) I started buying a few black series here and there

Awesome reveiw!!! So glad they remade these for those that missed out earlier!!! The Luke and IG88..I will pick up for the new face printing and 88's new "real metal" look. Thanks for sharing!!!

Pretty excited for the anakin re release with update face.

Black Series needs to go to this blister card packaging for their regular new releases. Look so much better than the boxes we get now.

I’ve been a huge Star Wars fan my whole life but just started collecting the black series over the summer. For me these are all must have characters so I’m more than excited for this set

I'm so thankful for the re-release. My pre-order case from Dorkside Toys came in yesterday, so thanks for the heads up on that Fwoosher. As for the figures, I had the originals, but they were lost to The Great Collection Purge of 2015. Then 2 years ago I started Collecting again, I said at first that it would be a focused Collection of MP Transformers only. That quickly lead to MP and Black Series only... Then MP, BS, and Legends only, and I'm sticking with that! So for me, I am incredibly thankful for the re-releases!

these figures have put a lot of “collectors” nose’s out of joint. But Hasbro never said they would never release these again. Seems to me Hasbro have just given someone like me a chance to finish my bounty hunters. They could of made loads of improvements, tempting those people who already have them (archangel) but no. This is purely for those who missed them the first time.

Bossk looks really cool

It's good that these have been re-released to make it easier for fans to get. Whether you want these for collection, display, nostalgia, photography purposes or just because you like the chracters, it's good that they are now easier and cheaper to obtain. The only people bitching about it are those selling the originals for rediculous prices and the ones who paid rediculous prices for them in the first place and are now dissapointed because they wasted money and don't feel as elite any more. Thanks to the archive line, customers can now get about three to four bounty hunters for the same price as what some people used to sell one for.

Found bossk boba and ig 88 at target last week. Passed on boba cus i have the esb mafex one. Just need luke now

I totally missed out, on these 4 figures. It's so awesome, that has bro has released the archive collection. I I ordered my wave one set last week. Can't wait for them to arrive.

This makes me want to go back and watch the old movies again :)

Not sure why people are mad they rehashed boba. I have the original figure in card and its nice to get this rehash so I can open him and enjoy him. Its nice to get the luke figure as well.

I Want Boba Now, he's no good to me dead. Ooh SDCC version

The old Luke still looks pretty cool. I still have mine, it´s one of my favorite figures in the collection and the first one I ever had.

The First Releases where pretty hard to get over here in Germany . Plus they have been sold for monstrous prices (from 40€ to 75€) .So Iam pretty happy that they are back on the shelf now for 26.99€ at local toy stores .....

RETURN OF HOLIDAY SPECIAL LUKE! He should be a regular on this channel, LOL. Love the Boba Fett. I missed out last time, so glad they're releasing another one. To hell with the packaging.

I missed all four of these original releases. And as of now I have all 77 of the red box releases. So for me this re-release is a godsend. I now have the complete bounty hunter set. And when the rest of the archive series is released I’ll need those as well. I was late to the black series 6” line and only have half of the orange/blue box releases. Great review as always!

The less than 90 degrees on Boba's elbows is a deal breaker for me, especially since I have the Mafex ESB figure. But Bossk knocks it outta the park.

I didn't collect Black Series until the Force Awakens, and by a stoke of luck at the time found a Orange line Han Solo, so I complete thankful for this rerelease. It's the first time in a while I bought an entire wave of Black Series all at the same time in a while. So I hope they will continue this!

I have 3 of the old ones, and I’m happy finally I’ll get the droid. Cool re releases, cardboard looks cool too.

I don't like that Ellen Skywalker face or In-Gold-88k but i'm happy to be getting 3 figures i missed, AND i get to make terrible jokes about their names. Love the thorough and positive review!

That's an impressive wave!

As a SWOG, it's my judgement that no point there is having a 6" X-Wing Luke without a 3ft X-Wing to put him in.

Finally I can get a good X-Wing Luke without paying stupid money to get hold of a 40th anniversary Luke, a dull/matt clear coat will fix the glossy look of his head, great review and a happy New Year Robo... bring on the 2019 plastic.

Another banger video, I only started collecting a year ago so I never got a chance to pick up the original boba fett and never wanted to buy it for secondary market price so I definitely buy this figure once it hits my local toy shop

I found these today at Target. The Luke I saw looked great in hand. The face was much less shiny than yours. I only grabbed Boba Fett but I may go back for Luke in the future.

Will get all 4. I regret not buying Bossk when I first saw it in stores. I passed on Luke. Never saw IG-88 and definitely never saw Boba Fett in stores.

Ig88 is improved

I dont normally buy figures to keep carded, but that's exactly what I picked them up for...gonna look nice on the wall :)

Personally I think all of the reissues should be slightly more different than the originals so that both the OG collectors still have their "genuine OG figures" but also just to improve the new ones. I think the way Luke and IG-88 were handled was perfect. No face paint app for Luke, new paint ofr all of IG-88. Collectors can see this instantly if they know the details. The other two, though... maybe needed a bit more difference. Maybe an entirely new jaw for Boosk. Maybe have both hands capable of holding the blaster? Then Boba Fett, could have had a changed up dents and scratches on the suit, or instead of just dark dirt, some sand color to imply he's the ROTJ on "tatooine version", instead of the "Bespin version"? I dunno... just something. Then maybe even collectors who already owned the originals might have more incentive to get a second one if they really love the character.

I just picked up a Luke at Target and the head is in between the two you have shown while the white of the vest is nice and crisp to the edges. The hair is like the original one and the face has the new printing but isn't glossy. There were two in the store and one had a lot of the printed weathering and one with hardly any which is the one I purchased. It may just be a luck of the draw thing with their finishing.

glad they did this cuz I really want Boba Fett and wasnt into star wars when he 1st released

So when are we getting a Snow Speeder or Xwing in this scale? And hopefully drop an AT-AT....at us!

Hope they make an X-Wing for their vehicle series

I reckon Hasbro could've put a repainted Jango Fett helmet/head on the Boba re-release to get that 'wearing a helmet on your head look' spot on, Regardless, I'm really happy that they're doing the Archive line, looking forwards to getting mine!

Just realized that bobas gun is literally just a revolver that they added a scope handle and longer barrel to make it look like it's a big gun

I think I'll hold judgment until I see Luke's face blasted with some dull coat to knock down the shine...hopefully that will make the difference. That said I odered this wave as soon as I saw it up for preorder since I got into the line with the 40th figs and have been wanting an x-wing Luke for awhile and with the rest it will complete my bounty hunters. Even though I already have (and love!!) the Mafex Fette, can't have too many Bobas!

Now with the new re-release of xwing luke give us a xwing or a snowspeeder hasbro pleeeeeease! Its sooo amazing hasbro is doing the archive my nephew wants a luke and bosk so bad but the prices were out of this world but thanks hasbro for making it possible for him and other collectors or kids who missed out.Great review mang!

If you heat the adhesive on the packaging you can open them without damaging the packaging.

I dont think the new luke looks better but thats just me

Thanks much for the detail comparison review & flagging all the differences. For me, no reason to replace my original SWBS figs. from what I see here but will hold that thought until I locate to look at in the pkg. Peace...

love the black series proportions.. any figure looks cooler with a smaller head profile

I just picked up X-wing Luke. Last one on the pegs at Target. my face looks great. Definitely better than any of the Luke's we've gotten in the past. Hopefully I can get the last of the bounty hunters and I think I'm good till the next wave. Oh remember you preorder your general Grevious, I went through BBTS. I'll catch YOU on the fwoosh!! 🤣🤣🤣

I'm glad I can finally get an affordable Boba Fett, even if it's not too great.

Ah man it's such a shame they didn't fix his Jaw! Still a great looking figure!

Thanks for the review Mr Robo, great and informative as always. Seems like there isn't difference between the Boba, or the Bossk to the older ones. The Luke doesn't look as good as I thought it would and why have they washed IG with gold? Looks a bit stupid. On the upside , this packaging does look nice. Guess I'll have to see what they look like in person when they arrive over here in the UK......

I just realized, why haven’t we got an IG-88 model kit from Bandai yet? Especially since they love doing droids so much

Was able to snag a Luke yesterday and my local Wal-Mart, hope to find the rest soon.

I ordered these and Grevious from BBTS in past day. Got my order in for Zuckuss from Disney as well. Sadly Mimban was sold out on BBTS.

6:20 It’s like a Boba Fett beauty Pageant

I missed these figs when they releases. I'll be getting 3 out of the 4 if i see em

LOVED this video man! Great review! An excellent mix of humour (love your sense of) and serious reviewing. Cool you actually know your stuff too, what with naming the EE-3, IG-88s other Holowan models and other things. Really good editing too. Consider me subscribed.

I don't collect 6 inch figures but.... maybe I'll get the IG-88, looks pretty cool. Btw there where 4 IG-88 droids: IG-88A, IG-88B, IG-88C and IG-88D, the one on the star destroyer was B and he's also the one that was dead on that Bespin place where Chewie finds 3P0 torn to pieces ...on legends tho XD

Great review. I missed out on this entire bunch, and I'm going to have to pick some of these up this time.

Thanks for giving us a close up look at these archive figures, they'll probably never show up down here. All those self absorbed twats that are complaining about their collections being devalued by these archive figures can go forth and multiply!

Can't wait for these to arrive in the UK. I only just got my order for Storm Trooper with Blast EFX.

Another fantastic review I hope my review is half as good when I get them ! I knell before the Master ! I have been wanting these figures for so long an this stuff is hard to get in the uk we can't just walk in to a wallmart an buy them it specialist stores who charge to much !

IM SO GETTING THESE

I ordered a boba fett online about a year back, didn't come, complained about it and requested and new one, then i accidentally got two of them, and also they are knock offs. So im glad that i can get an authentic boba fett for a reasonable price.

Holiday Luke looks frightening

Bossk is the best of that wave and let's face it, mayyyyybe the whole Black Series line. I've been trapped in my head about it!

Yeah they gotta switch to this packaging, it's sweet

I've heard and seen that some of the boba fetts are missing the jet packs mine was missing. Got it from GameStop too.

Do I already have these figures. Yes. Will I buy them again. Probably. Damn you Hasbro.

If that Boba goes on sale I may finally get him

I need that Boba Fett, cause I never found him when the first release was out

Your videos are a daily breath of fresh air, Robo!

I missed out on the original Black Series figures, so I think I’ll get Boba and Bossk. I would buy all, but I gotta save money for Grievous and Obi-Wan

I like being able to get Iggy & Bossk at retail price, but I wish they would’ve taken the opportunity to improve the sculpts/scale of some of the figs. Did they switch to a better plastic at least? I know the older figs feel like they were made of a more stiff plastic; like getting the double knees on my Boba felt like it was stiff/brittle/ might break 🤷‍♂️

Another awesome fantastic video of star wars figures collection 👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍keep collecting and may the force be with you 👽 👹👽

3:38 one of them has a darker shade of green on it if you look closely

I got this at a store where Ray Park was signing just because I thought I could use a Boba Fett toy. A couple years later I now have like 30 black series figures and I've lost his main blaster.

I want the whole set even though the Black Series Boba is unlikely to replace my MAFEX. I missed all of them the first time around. That IG-88 though. I just want an import store to finally make a more screen-accurate figure. A model kit or something? Please?

Just got my archive luke and the hair on mine is definitely more of a matte. also the white shoulder straps have a solid paint job on mine. think you got a bad one

"To open up his garage door" haha

really nice figure and nice video ! Great video Fwoosh !

I think the biggest difference for boba is the right chest stamp

It's insane that the Boba Fett Archive is near the price as the original. Glad that I got him when I got the chance.

Bossk vs Chewbacca would be an interesting duel.

Im so excited for these I started collecting the line about end of 2017 and I'm looking forward to having all the bounty hunters and I hope they put maul in the line because he's one I really want and I don't wanna pay 80 dollars for him

My Black Series are hard to pose. My Snoke, Tattoine Luke, and Director Krennic have trouble standing.

Can’t wait to get Luke.

I don't understand how they couldn't give Bossk extra range in his elbows. Plus there was a great opportunity of a bicep swivel with there being an actual cut there in the design... pretty frustrating.

The main problem with the original IG-88 were the legs were flimsy. Even when you got him to stand eventually the plastic would bend and he would fall over, I was really hoping the new legs would be made of harder plastic, or is it the same?
