Hi! There's a point where I talk about the paint, and I gloss over a lot of the paint on the head and ball part, because I'm focused on the other parts. Also, with my colorblindness, it all kind of blends. in. I just wanted to say that yes, the figure has paint, and it looks great. But there's also a lot of places it doesn't have paint. And to me, that kinda stands out more. I probably should bump the score up a quarter of a point, but I'm sticking with he score because I think it feels right.

That thumbnail is something I never thought I’d see a droideka do. Thanks for scarring me 😂

@MikeKaess 15 дней назад

It's what I was born to do.

@kitfistosdentalplan1319 15 дней назад

Sorry for your loss, Mike. Hope you’re doing alright.

@MikeKaess 15 дней назад

I am, thank you!

@Dillrnbng 11 дней назад

You know the Droideka’s articulation is 10/10 when it can hit that iconic MK pose

@MikeKaess 4 дня назад

If a figure can hit those poses, it’s already good.

@kevinschmitt4050 15 дней назад

I’ve been resisting everything not in the OT for a while. I do have one of these coming though. I’m sure it wont get out of control.

@MikeKaess 15 дней назад

I feel like this is a good exception.

About time we finally got the Droideka in TBS. It was definitely well worth the wait tho. Blast effects would have been nice, but Cubic’s are fantastic options. I only bought one, hoping for some other repaints down the line, like a Republic Commando and/or Jedi Survivor one! (Gimme a Republic Commando Super Battle Droid while you’re at it too Hasbro!) RIP Joel. He was a great artist, and I’m sure a great guy as well.

@prophet924 15 дней назад

Excellent overview of Destroyer Droid. I too got two. Pretty happy.

@MikeKaess 15 дней назад

Yep! While it could be better, its important to focus on the fact that it's also awesome.

@alejandrobedolla2297 15 дней назад

It would've been great if Hasbro had first realeased this big guy in a special type packaging that looked like the droideka shield 🤌🏻🤌🏻

@MikeKaess 15 дней назад

That’s actually a super good idea!

@usmcchet 15 дней назад

Great review. Really like mine and it complements my prequels shelf

@MikeKaess 15 дней назад

I agree!

@jamesstolk9848 15 дней назад

For starters. I'm sorry. I'm the loss of your friend. The second I really love this figure. I don't care if it turns into ball mode perfectly. I have enough stuff that takes a shelf dive. I don't need him rolling off too. I'm super happy with him. Thanks for the video Mike.

@MikeKaess 14 дней назад

Absolutely, the attack mode looks great. And thank you!

@Barada73 16 дней назад

I saw one of these at Gamestop a couple of weeks ago and I was going to get it, but my nephew saw it and was so excited about it that I went ahead and just let him buy it for himself (he's 24, so I don't buy toys for him anymore). Now I just gotta hope that another one shows up at some point.

@MikeKaess 16 дней назад

What a good uncle!

@ageis 16 дней назад

I have the same criticisms as you do with this. I love it, but I don’t find it fun to mess with because of how quickly the joints get lose, it ultimately gets the same treatment as my traffic cone figures (pose once and then display). I ordered three, two to keep is attack mode and one to keep in ball mode. I ended up selling my third but kept my old Mega for the ball mode look. I collect Transformers too, and I see the engineering they can pull off these days. I’m surprised a TF consultant wasn’t brought in for this, it is so close to working. Nothing I’m going to obsess over, just slightly disappointed we were this close to getting a modern transforming Destroyer. Condolences to you, I have lost friends too. It just hits different. 😢

They were one joint away from this figure being soooo good.

@ThatTallBrendan 15 дней назад

I'm sorry I don't even.. engage.. with toy stuff (it's for my own good, trust me) but the thumbnail alone makes this worth a boost. I'm letting this play through for the sake of retention analytics, though, in the meantime; you ought to know that got _a really good_ laugh

@MikeKaess 15 дней назад

That means a whole lot to me! Thank you very much!

@jonathanhampshire6856 12 дней назад

I like the Droideka name especially how those slippery Neimoidians pronounce it. Whoever programmed your Destroyer to act coquettishly sexy...is a freak. 😂 I don't have it. Budget is a big concideration for me; but I think Hasbro played a blinder with this. I agree with you Mike some blaster bolts would've added to the fun. An energy shield would've been the icing on the cake. A few years ago I bought Hasbro's Overwatch The Ultimates Reinhardt. A big beefy beast of a figure. That came with a massive hammer and an energy shield. Granted the shield looks like the lid off a tupperware box; but still, they could make a semi transparent ball to sit over this droid of death. Great review Mike. I love you deadpan delivery. Baldilocks' recent review of Gnawgshide for GI Joe Classified was up there too for chuckles.

@MikeKaess 4 дня назад

I was honestly thinking of Reinhardt too! I got that on clearance from GameStop, and I really liked it.

@pletho79 15 дней назад

3:30 Fun history of the Droideka design, Gunray's walking throne, etc. Early concept Neimoidians were based on insects, more like Geonosians crossed with a B1. It wasn't practical, so instead we got animatronic amphibians and these cool little design echoes in their technology. Kind of a happy accident that expanded the universe, made the TF and Neimoidians more complex than "bug aliens and their bug droids."

@pletho79 15 дней назад

Also appreciate the plug! Figure is an engineering feat, and so close to wheely perfection if the back leg could slide down. Not in for Hot Toys but if Bandai decides to cook... Fun vid as always, Mike! 12:20 could be the official BSC thinking cap 😂

@MikeKaess 15 дней назад

I’ve had 2 or 3 comments in my instructional video I made a few weeks ago asking me if I’d seen yours, so I figured this time I’d just address it head on.

@jamesk234 15 дней назад

Hey Mike. They said "Droideka" at least twice... Once in the clip you showed. Then secondly when it comes back to the bridge and he says "They are no match for droidekas". Turn in your nerd card, buddy! 😂😂😂😂

@MikeKaess 15 дней назад

Damn! Well… it was fun while is lasted.

@jhawkjedi3346 14 дней назад

This pretty easily the black series figure of the year so far for me. Just an an amazing acheivement in toy design and engineering. The degree to which they were able to capture the complexity of all the pieces and parts of the design and make it all both look great AND generally function well is really outstanding. I really can’t think any other action figure in any line that approaches this complexity and what they have pulled off I think is pretty unprecedented at a low 30 dollar price point. It’s not perfect because no action figure is, but this is a top ten black series figure of all time for me and gonna be pretty hard to top for BS figure of the year.

@MontyToyPhotos 14 дней назад

Solid review. I feel its already a super-deluxe figure, would it have hurt for Hasbro to throw the blast effects in? Who's to say...

@MikeKaess 14 дней назад

It seems obvious for sure

@twotoneska5949 11 дней назад

It's a great figure but it's no Ki Adi Mundi. Lol :)

@MikeKaess 4 дня назад

Less problematic, too!

@hang10wannabe 15 дней назад

I have problems with you swapping Aayla Secura mic with Ki-Adi Mundi mic. Best blue jedi versus one of the worst jedi's in the council... although his head does seem like clip on perfection there...

@MikeKaess 15 дней назад

I like to swap it up! And KAM was easier to get at in the moment.
