Star Wars Victories: Droids Lost Wave - Procustomfigures 

When I was a kid, I remember several classmates of mine did not like the fact that Droids kept changing main characters. I however, due to Doctor Who, loved the idea of changing characters and changing stories. I guess I was an odd kid, but I enjoyed being able to explore the Galaxy far far away

After 10 years you can still hit them out of the ballpark Michael!

Droids was a very lackluster cartoon and toy line, but it's always interesting to see what might have been... I wonder what would have happened if Kenner had used Brian Daley's Han Solo at Star's End or Alan Dean Foster's Splinter of the Mind's Eye as the basis of a toy line...

I remember Droids and I was very unimpressed. Never picked up any of the toys because I had moved on to GIJoe and transformers by then. But love the dedication and research you guys put in to these videos. Entertaining as always and informative. Keep up the good work!

I know it wasn't everyone's favorite, but I loved droids and ewoks as a kid, great episode and happy birthday Michael

This makes me excited as I'm pretty sure someone out there is already hard at work creating figures for other characters in our favorite cartoons that either never got represented or were unreleased. I would love to see animation accurate Bravestarr figures with the same modern articulation as Classics He-Man figures.

"The Adventures of Lando Calrissian: Gonk Lover" is my new favourite Disney+ series.

I love how the unreleased second wave is infinitely easier to collect than the first wave which was commercially available for a while

Jessica Meade? Oh, you mean Gozer the Gozerian.

That ending. Hahahaha! Excellent review. I love what Procustomfigures has been doing by filling in all these gaps in the Kenner Star Wars lines.

Lando checking out that badonk-a-Gonk 🤣

Okay the Lando bit in the Cantina is one of the greatest in-universe-feeling star wars jokes I’ve heard in a while.

Funny enough I just broke down and ordered these last night, been wanting them for a while and hope that maybe we’ll have a fan do some other figures from droids, including some of the more expensive first wave figures. Keep up the great work sir! Always love your videos!

This is a great video as always, Michael. I have these pro custom figures and the Ewoks line they produced. For a long time, I wanted someone to make these lost Kenner waves. At last, my collection feels complete.

Great video Michael French! You're looking very sharp! It looks like you had loads of fun making this video! This was truly a Star Wars Victory!

Another excellent addition to this treasured Retroblasting series! Thank you!

Another excellent video Mr French, Droids was one of those vague ‘I thought it was ok as a kid’ parts of the Star Wars universe for me and hasn’t really peaked my interest since I started collecting again, but! After this video, I may have to revisit this avenue. I know Stan Solo also has some excellent figures from this line. Thank you and I sincerely hope you have had an excellent birthday Sir!

Another fantastic video Michael, Happy Birthday! Procustoms produces fantastic figures these look awesome! I have two of their rocket firing Boba Fett's!

Great video Michael.. the cantina bit was very funny.. 'The Great Heep' was always my favourite Droids episode.. I'm a proud owner of Mungo and Screed figures

always enjoy your show , thank you :)

Great video!! Now you’re making me want Droids figures.

These are really well done!

Ive ordered from procustoms . amazing figures in hand when you get them. you wont be disappointed. i still need to get a few more. great review michael.

Great work, dude. This video made me feel like a kid in the toy aisle all over again.

Ya know, Michael. I bet you'd be the greatest Film Studies/History professor ever. Seriously.

Procustoms are absolutely the best customizers out there. Their quality and customer service is the best.

Great new video

Fantastic!!

Great Video Michael. Can’t wait till you do a video on the White Witch.

Ok, as soon as I heard tines Horky I literally shouted it in the same western accent as you did and I synched with the audio it was beautiful!

You know what’s lacking in the droids toyline? Droids.

Great content Side note all of my valaverse pre orders from January just shipped out today (Pre orders from BBTS)

Awesome 👍

lmao'd at the han and lando skit

I often have this crazy .thought that, the lighter blue, Tri-Logo Boba Fett figure variant was originally intended for the Droids cartoon toy line.

Man i've had that Screed and Gaff in my cart for months but just can't pull the trigger. As a kid these Droids characters didn't feel Star Warsy enough, but compared to modern Star Wars, they've become tempting...

lol nothing better than a good old edgy box joke. was definetly not expecting that from your channel always keeping me on my toes; love the content.

A Great Heep toy would be something.

Ahhh wouldn't be a Follies/Victory without Broken Vader!

"A fine box" 😏✨

Cool review. I bought these about a year or two ago. I also own the complete first wave. I was a very big fan of the cartoon. It was re-ran in my area well into the early 90's. And I hate to nitpick, but his name is pronounced Size, not sissy. It's just spelled Sise. And the last name rhymes with mom, Fromm - mom. Kez-Iban is pronounced like Kez - E - Ben. Seriously not trying to nitpick. Your video was terrific as always. I just had to say it because Droids is one of my favorites.

That little joke about Han's friend getting into trouble, hahaha I was expecting something with Chewie but got something way funnier!

😆😆😆😆💯🔥🔥🔥 Tynes Horky!!!! Excellent video!!!

I ordered the Stan Solo Batha in January. I hope it arrives soon.

Great review of a uniquely niche section of Star Wars collecting. (Question: Is Hanbone McGillycutty from Tines Horkey?) :P

You know I grew up remembering Lando also making beer commercials! The power of Colt-45 working every time was smooth! But Disney was like no no no... Lando will bang your microwave............. in a #PImpBlueCape

Finally someone mentioned Kybo Ren. I thought it was an odd coincidence concerning him and Kylo Ren.

i suspect the reason the demand and value of these figures is so big today probably literally just boils down to most of the serious old time collectors mostly have everything they want after almost 50 years, but they dont want to stop collecting so they just start looking for other things that still have the same overall branding. also even though most wont admit it i always believe most collectors absolutely will covet toys based solely on the fact that they are rare, even more so if they are well known to be rare.

So, judging from the digital cutouts in this video, you now own the Second Series Droids figures, yet you never owned the actual produced first series? When I got my own set from ProCustoms, I sent him a group pic of all of them together. He said my Tig and Sise lurking in the background were worth a small fortune. I asked if he had plans to make reproductions of them, but he said he too lacked those figures. I said, "And let me guess, no one is willing to loan theirs out to have molds made from them?" He said something like, "You got that right!"

Love these figs! I don't collect vintage Droids but if I did I would be all over them like Lando was coming onto that Gonk droid. "Why, what have we here..."

Okay, that was a bombshell you just dropped. Jann Tosh joined the empire?!?

Does everyone these days lament that Star Wars (other than these stories) was not continued after ROTJ? I had to move one to Transformers and GIJOE, rarely (as I remember) giving much thought to the what if whenever I ran across my Star Wars toys in the attic while pretending that area was CyberTron! It’s good to see that Lucas had learned from this mistake and that’s probably why we have REBELS and the CLONE WARS animated series, plus the fact that decades of fan love and devotion meant there’s a greater diversity of thoughts and ideas about Star Wars after the prequel’s- it kept the money rolling in! And Transformers allowed for me to finally find an excuse to play in the attic!

Yeah, with Jessica, I'm suprised Kenner didn't use the same type of plastic they use for Lando for a correct skintone, I know it's a prototype but still it baffles me

As both a Kylie and original trilogy fan... Your shirt is fucking amazing.

At least in the old canon, Ben Burtt’s character in The Phantom Menace is also a Baobab.

I love droids and I always wanted a mongo bayobab and skreed

It’s amazing that the fans are giving their fandom true high quality products, weather they’re rare variets of pre-existing figures, 100% custom figures or incredibly rare/highly hunted for figures, they always do the best work. Since there’ll be a Bespin playset soon, imagine either a scaled up micro Death Star world playset or a completely redesigned and circular Death Star Playset that can serve double duty as both Death Stars. I personally never had a desire to collect the droids figures, but part of me is tempted to buy the female figures and do head swaps with Super7 ReAction female figures to either make some background figures or OCs.

My only memories of this cartoon was it showing on bbc 1 in 85 on a Tuesday before the 6pm news

Star Wars Victories. Droid. Lost. Wave. Pro custom figures

Great video as always Mike. Lovely figures. Who was the female figure in the cantina playset? Cheers.

I remember being a child and soooooo let down about the Droids cartoon, but always wanted 3PO and R2, but never got them. Droids could of had so much potential if accurately executed properly. Such a shame.

I remember the cartoons but I wasn’t allowed to buy toys as a kid so I never knew about any cancelled toys.

These Droids figures remind me of LJN Dune line.

I wish some of these peeps would make some 78 original Galactica figures. I'm not getting any younger.

Where does Michael get all these great shirts from? And what character is he wearing?

Been meaning to ask, what's that Rule63 Luke art (from the shirt)? I can't seem to find it anywhere!

I forgot Tom Bombadil was in Droids.

Most carded DROIDS figures i've seen still have their '99 cents reduced' stickers on them

Cool figure. Are they going to make the super rare ewok wrangler ?

I suppose C-3P0’s blinking eyes were added to give him more personality in animated form. But to me, they are creepy and disturbing.

I see the footage of the series and keep expecting Taarna to start slashing up aliens or Hanover Fist to chase Captain Sternn through the scene.

I don't know if I'll ever get any 85 droids figures. I want thim though!

Who else but Lando? Giggity giggity giggity gooo

Can someone tell me what that droid said to C-3PO?

As a kid I couldn’t wrap my autistic brain around having toys not look stylistically similar & the droids and Ewok toys drove me mental. Even now I’d like to see these translated into black series toys just to bandage that wound.

That Star Wars Han Solo head looks a little like Liza Minnelli from Cabaret. Speaking of show tunes, if there evere were a more accurate, imposing Bea Arthur figure from the Christmas Special, I'd put her the nativity scene I set up during the holidays.

I think I watched the first episode and remembered absolutely nothing beyond C-3PO acting more clownish than usual. The franchise was really taking a beating in my age group then. I still enjoyed it, but was rediscovering some elements of the original, like the 'novelization' from Lucas's screenplay and some Marvel back issues. Still an excellent video, though, and it's always great to see Broken Vader even briefly. I don't know why I'm curious, but would you back a Great Heep kickstart from Procustom or Stan Solo?

shame really, we could have the white witch speeder, maybe mungo ship if the toyline succeeded, maybe a playset of the lightstation with a couple of mupples acceries, another we could have for army building are stormtroopers with those staff blasters, another thing we could done is have tie fighter with pirates markings stolen from the empire ewok wise they could replace a dulok with teebo and maybe kneesa

7:04 oh no!

Michael, what do you think or origins eternia?

🤣 "that's what I call a fiiine box!"

Lol i thought you were saying that one dudes name was Bon Jovi lol

Didnt droids see release in Europe?

You still can make a great ending. Do you suppose the Droids line got big because the regular vintage line got more competitive, so some collectors migrated over? Or is it the niche market becoming chic, like the time Pabst got big for hipsters?

Really nice figures, but $80 each!!! Not sure why these are so much more expensive than Stan Solo figures, or some of Procustom's other figures.

forgive my ignorance but tell me about that t-shirt!

It’s crazy how bad I want to get a vintage 12 inch Vader and rip the arms off

3:49 - 'Cept at no point in the story was it referred to as IMPERIAL Space Academy, regardless what bozos at Wookiepedia say. Also, Luke too desired to join the academy so is he not a hero either? On top of it all, why would there be only one space academy in the entire GALAXY anyway?!

Kybo > Kylo

Tynes Horky! Not sure how to spell it, but I sure want to yell it!

Lando joke. Lol. Is this why he hired the cyborg in cloud city as his assistant?

Lando 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🍺

1:07 least effort possible in creating a new figure. squid face body with hammerhead arms and squidface headflipped up.. face palm

For The Algorithm.

Droids could have been a cool cartoon but never was a success. Some of the character designs were interesting.

With all due respect! Jann Tosh joining the Empire would actually be something within the Star Wars story because they were numerous Rebel infiltrators within the Empire. It will be interesting to see what Jann’s role in the Empire would’ve been and if he would’ve helped the outcome for the Rebellion, even in some small way! Even if it meant giving his life for the Rebellion.🪦 I going to take an oil bath now, sir.
