Let's Look at the Latest (Final?) Two Retro Collection Sets!

Does Hasbro plan to release more Retro Collection figures? Who knows! Nothing has been announced and these two sets are the final figures that were available for pre-order. Now that they're out in peoples' hands...will there be more? I've made my feelings on this series well-known in prior videos, but let's take a look at these two sets and a few ideas that I've had about where it could go next...

Guys and Gals, you know I ain't about the drama in the collecting community - we're all grown-ups playing with toys here, so we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously, right?

Slicing Articulated Action Figures for 3D Resin Printing
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.7 месяцев назад
So I get asked pretty regularly for advice on how to print the action figure parts and pieces that I sell, specifically how I support them and slice them. I've always resisted the urge to do a tutorial video and instead pointed people to the many videos that already exist out there. The problem though seems to be that though there are plenty of resin printing tutorials out there, not many of th...

As I've said before, I'm a real bum when it comes to painting my own figures - I have a backlog of my own designs (and some from Trash Compactor and Vivid Motion too!) that I just haven't made the time to paint. So when a painter like Steven at Keepers Kustoms steps up to the plate to help me out...I'm more than happy to let him! Check out the figures he painted for me and if you'd like him to ...

The Fantastic Paint Work of Ouroboros Customs!

I always get asked "Hey Funky, do you sell fully-painted figures?" And the vast majority of the time, I say "no" mainly because I just simply don't have the time! But also, at this point...there are a handful of really super-talented painters-for-hire out there that will paint my figures for you much more beautifully that I could anyway. So why the heck would I bother? ;) One such amazing paint...

Hey it's the Funky Maclunkey RUclips Channel!
Just ordered your Zardoz figure. Can't wait.
While the Tonnika sisters is a good fit for twins, I feel these need droid names. If 3PO and R2 are too obvious, what about Astro and Proto?
You are in the flow with it now, so I wouldn't change it, but I would have put the gloved area below the non-gloved area on the handles so there is NO chance that anything would be dragged down to the lower, unprotected contact area.
Hey that's a great logical suggestion! I clean and re-label the surfaces periodically...maybe I'll swap them next time. Thanks!
I'm thinking Brea and Senna like the Tonnika twins 😁. Id really like to see you make the wolfman from Mos Eisley! Keep up the great work Funky!
Love it! As for the Wolfman...he's coming eventually. I plan to redo my Lak Sivrak design to be more screen-accurate and then also create a fresh Arleil Schous figure at the same time. SO, both wolfmen finally!
Mimas & Tethys (two of Saturn's moons)
"red" and "five"
Oooh new printers! Just ordered up Lydia Deetz so curious how she'll turn out!
Tonnika sisters!
This one has promise!
Nice set up. You’re really good about knowing the extra steps and precautions involved with resin printing. As for names the first that comes to mind is Tomax and Xamot.
I like the names Starsky & Hutch for your printers.
In my Fan Fic stories, I have 2 pit droids I've named the Tweedles. Dee and Dum.
☝100%☝ Thanks for putting this out there. That's really unfortunate uncured resin would make it's way to any customer. Super bummed to hear it actually happens.
Right? I mean it's pretty easy to be safe once you do your homework!
Dude, we are on the exact same page with process and setup. It's like looking in a mirror. Seriously, I'm also a bald, middle-aged guy with a toy collection lol!
Great minds think alike!! :)
Excited to check out the channel! Sweet Brad McGinty shirt btw!
Nice catch! Not enough people know about his excellent work if you ask me!
Oooh. What cases are these?
Oh, the short fabrikors!!
I think Hasbro is stuck between selling to the fans who don’t have the original figures and can’t afford them, but then also want to sell to those who have all of the originals by adding characters not done before. The box sets seem to cater to the former.
I won’t mention this person’s name either, but I do have some of his figures. They are very good. However, he would post in the comments section on RUclips videos from time to time, and I was amazed at how caustic he was. I haven’t bought since, but more because of funding.
man Give us Space1999 figures! that would be AWESOME. best regards!
Retro ANDOR , Retro Heir to the Empire !!!
Where did you get those cases you used for the Droid cartoon figures?
They're baseball bat display cases from Michaels! They come with some mounting pieces on the inside that are meant for bats, but once you remove those and add some LED lights...they look great for displaying figures. Here they are, currently on sale too: www.michaels.com/product/baseball-bat-display-case-by-studio-decor-10174362
Appreciate your treatment of the "Not Star Wars" whining. Makes me crazy. 🙄 They kill any possibility of enjoying the production. Carry on.
Right? I mean I'm definitely not saying that everyone has to pretend to like things they don't - but just let people enjoy the things they enjoy and move on if you don't like it!
As someone who just got the Anycubic Photon Mono 4k resin printer through a Facebook trade, I appreciate finding you! I really was afraid to not be able to print articulated creatures/figures that I wanted to do but you gave me hope and drive to figure it out. I am so grateful that you made this video.
Awesome! Welcome to 3d printing and good luck!
The walrusman has been announced as a straight re-release
BOOOOOOO that's a bummer!
@@funkymaclunkeysorry to be the bearer of bad news! Keep up the great work on the cool figures, man I have several of them in my collection and I love them
Have you considered a Captain Eo figure in the retro style since Skeleton Crew gave a nod to Fuzzball?
Funny you should mention that, because I designed an entire series of Captain EO figures and will be putting them up for sale in January. My pal and collaborator on the project Josh Izzo has pictures of them all fully painted here: instagram.com/p/DDZs450v1lV/?img_index=8
Great news on the Blade Runner line, Mr Maclunkey! As someone who's customised the hell out of a 3rd party Deckard to finally make peace with having a reference representation of him in my collection I'm super excited to fill out the cast in 3 3/4". Million dollar question: Are you going to give them bended knees (a'la Kenner Raiders figures of the time)? And also, are you going to include variations that one can add softgoods to? ... That said the classic Kenner vinly cape could be shaped into a Deckard collar pretty easily! Options would be great, if that's a possibility. If you're looking for reference material I highly advise looking up the Dark Toys Rick figure thread on CollectorFreaks. A tonne of research in there was compiled for Deckard's wardrobe and accessories all in the one thread.
Thanks for the suggestion of that CollectorFreaks thread - lots of good info in there! I have been debating the "hard-sculpt" vs "soft goods" issue but I think the solution is to just offer both options. We'll see how the sculpting goes! As for knees, I don't plan to make them bend. Not because I wouldn't LIKE to, but because most people will be printing these in resin and frankly it's just too brittle to be able to reliably do bendable joints without rivets. And most people would rather not deal with that so far as I can tell!
@@funkymaclunkey Ahh excellent, yeah, that's why I was wondering about the knees. Not a lot of sitting requirements for many of the characters anyway. I really love the idea of options for sculpted and then the opportunity to add your own coats. Thanks so much for that. I have the ReAction Kyle Reese that I bought for the softgoods coat that I was going to hack into a Deckard but never got that far.. that coat could still come in useful now with a dye job and new collar. Best of luck on the journey!! Really looking forward to seeing these develop and If I can help in any way please reach out!
NO WAY!!! I've bought figures from you!!! I had no clue you had a channel!
Welcome! And thanks for your orders! :)
Agreed. This is what Hasbro should do with the Retro collection. There are plenty of characters from the OG trilogy that never got figures. They could even do variants with some of the originals (like Greedo) to be closer to the film version. Most importantly, they need to make the individual figures available and not have the boxed set be the only option.
Yes to Blade Runner, I was thinking about this yesterday.
I love the announced retro collection figures! This is what I want right now.
SO excited to hear you'll be weaving your magic with some Bladerunner figures. Cannot wait to print them! Thanks for sharing your passion and artistry!
I would love The Black hole figures. Just throwing it out there lol
It’s about time. How many years now? 45 years? Official Sandtrooper? Han stormtrooper? Rebel Fleet Trooper? Dr. Evazan? Accurate Walrus Man? Finally
Right?!?! I mean it was always crazy to me that as kids we couldn't recreate a few of the first film's most iconic scenes because those key characters were missing!
I will definitely pick up one set of these if it's a multipack. However, if they also make the rebel fleet trooper and sandtrooper as singles, I will buy a 6 pack and at least 10 more sandtroopers and 6 Rebel Fleet Troopers.
Right?!
Super pumped about the upcoming Retro series figures!!! Hopefully, Hasbro will lean in on this approach for the line….figures we never got back in the day.
100%
Love the retro collection pipeline figs! I do hope they release them individually too. Great video.
i don't like that they are doing walrus man in the retro collection he already exists as a star wars figure
Yeah, my only hope there is that it's a new version of him that's more screen-accurate
funky, on your etsy page the figures look all grey , but i saw colored ones on victorias cantina, do you color them before you ship them?
I usually don't sell fully-painted figures - I sell 3d-printed figure kits that you paint for yourself. The Captain EO figures you saw on Victoria's were sculpted and printed by me, but painted by Josh Izzo. When I sell my unpainted figures, there are a handful of dudes out there who will paint them for customers for an additional charge.
@@funkymaclunkey if i order them at your etsy page can i request that you have them painted by them before you ship them? i am not on instagram, so it might be easier for you to communicate with the painters
OMG Barbara looks great!! Can't wait to see all the Beetlejuice figures.
Thank you! I like how Barbara turned out, and I've got at least 3 more in the pipeline...maybe a fourth if I have time!
They should reissue more of those final 17 figures.. Do a two pack with Luke Stormtrooper with Han Stormtrooper.. Also make a troop builder 4 pack with the Rebel Fleet trooper, make 3 normal, and one commander repaint in Tan fatigues.. and do the same for the Sand Troopers, 3 normal, then one commander with the white shoulder pad. Would sell like hot cakes!!! 😉 Also I wouldnt be mad if they reissued a Cantina Alien set with Hammerhead, Greedo, Original Walrus Man, Rare Blue Snaggletooth, then all new Wuher bartender, and Garidian Imperial Spy. 🔥🔥🔥 Also make an Imperial Army Builder 4pk- Storm Trooper, Snow Trooper, Biker Scout, and new Shore Trooper from Rogue One. I'd buy like 3 or 4 of those.. 😉
Geat vid dude - totally agree with you regarding Skeleton Crew. My kids are loving it, which only makes me love it more. The new retro set is super exciting - can't wait for those. Id love it if theyd sell these like that recent Sabine/Chopper set on Pulse - indivdual figs, but with a made to order window with no limit on orders. just let folks order as much as they want with no fear of scalping!
I am absolutely still in for Beetlejuice but where is Barbara's backwards hat?! And so stoked for the Retro Collection reveals casually dropped on a Sunday instead of it's own livestream. Already wishlisting the Empire wave.
Interesting it's going to be what impact these Hasbro figures have on already existing Custom figures and comparing them with each other. Stan Solo Rebel Fleet Soldier is going to be very hard to top. Unless Hasbro makes a removable Helmet one, I see little chance Hasbro making a better one. Stormtrooper Han should be easily obsolete, since it's literally the same sculpt of Luke Stormtrooper. Procustom Yavin Luke will be obsolete ,since Procustom figures are just too expensive to compete with Hasbro 10 dollar figures. Even the sculpt isn't too unique. Sandtrooper will be interesting. Can end for either side. Next17 Dr.Evazan will be one shot KO'd, that figure is just pretty cheaply made. Wether if it's the body mold that is reused on multiple figures, or the quality of paint which is absolutely not what Kenner used, I see Hasbro impossible to release an inferior version. Interesting it will get what visions they have for Walrus Man. If they rerelease the 1977 sculpt then it's a big L for Hasbro, since it wouldn't match with Dr.Evazan at all. I would go with detachable arm and movie accurate Ponda Baba. Even the original figure isn't really hard to acquire. Nobody would shed a tear of not having a Rerelease of that figure
It will be interesting for sure, and I think a lot will depend upon how easy/difficult it is for people to get the figures they want. The Stan Solo Rebel Trooper is great but it's also $37 loose. If the Hasbro version is $13 on card, it will attract a) people who want it on a card and b) people who want a half dozen but would rather pay $78 than $222. Also consider that many collectors won't buy from SS because of his business practices. A $13 Han Stormtrooper is a great deal for most people who don't want to head-swap an expensive vintage Luke. PCF's Yavin set wasn't very well received so I'm not sure what the impact will be there. The thing about SS, PCF, and Next17 figures is that they don't have factories constantly churning out additional volume - the bulk of their sales come from when it is initially released (and pre-orders), and then they sell inventory until their stock runs out. It just means that once Next17's Evezan stock is gone, he just won't order anymore. Totally agree with you that the only reason to include Walrus Man in this set would be to make it screen-accurate, otherwise it's just filler. I'm choosing to have faith that it will be executed well...I'm being optimistic!
@@funkymaclunkey I said this the very first day I discovered Custom Figures. Better make an extremely good figure because if Hasbro decides to make their version, 11 dollars a figure is going to be hard to beat. I don't know about anyone else, but to me it would hurt if I had spent like 40dollars for a figure only to replace it with an 11dollar one. I've been saying all the time that The Retro Collection is nothing but an appetizer for the Vintage Collection ,that's why I don't think Hasbro will give you a way to army build any of these except of acquiring multiple sets
Long live Retros! Awesome reveal today5 all NEW figs!!
Skeleton Crew is getting the 'World of Action Heroes' treatment at 4 inches, so I do not think we are getting Skely Crew Retros.
Pass on Acolytes, Pass on Ashoka, Pass on Kenobi except Darth Vader.. Nothing for Andor, but not really wanted, love to get Retro style Rogue One figures!! 💯 Episode 2: set of 8: Mace Windu, Padme, Jango Fett, Clone Trooper V1, Count Dooku, Zam Wessel, Camino Cloner, Yoda. Episode 3: set of 8: Clone Trooper V2, General Grevious, Anakin Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, Commander Cody, Senator Bail Organa, Plo Kloon, Kit Fisto. Prequel trilogy filler pack of 12: Child Anakin Skywalker, Captain Tarpals, Aurra Sing, Watto, Dexter Jetster, Anakin Ep2, Kenobi Ep2, Blue Senate Guard, Ki Adi Mundi, Shaak Ti, Ayla Secura, Darth Sidious. Clone Trooper Wave of 8: Cpt Rex, 501st Trooper, Captain Baccara, Commander Gree, Commander Bly, AT-RT Driver, Clone Pilot, Red Shock Trooper. Then finish off the prequels with 2 or 3 more filler sets of 8: Wookie Warrior, Nute Gunray, Sebulba, Destroyer Droid, Luminari Undulli, Saesee Tiin, Agen Kolar, Quinlan Vos, Captain Banaka, Barriss Offee, Super Battle Droid, Gungan Warrior, Shimi Skywalker, Cloaked Darth Maul, Ric Ollie, & Lott Dodd. (Pick 8 more) And one bonus set of Podracers set of 6.... Sadly doubt they will revist or make a full toyline of prequels or clone wars.. But if they really wanted to expand the retro collection the prequel trilogy is rich with new character possibilities.. but I think that ship has sailed.. to bad they didn't attempt retro style collection along with the regular releases as those films were released.
I like how you bought the acolyte crap…even though you had no interest or real connection to it…don’t be part of the problem…they’ll never stop the garbage when people buy the shit…
I didn't say that I didn't like the show. I didn't say I had no interest in it. I thought the show was OK - not amazing, not the worst. I've made it clear I'd prefer original trilogy characters that we've never had before over stuff from D+ shows, but as I said in the video - I love the retro figures, I wanted them, so I bought them. Honestly the only reason I cancelled my initial order of this set is because I go so sick of the toxic garbage coming from fans that I just needed to back out for a sec. But then I realized that overall I'd enjoy having the set, so I reordered it. As for me being 'a part of the problem,' I pretty sure that most of my followers and customers will attest that I most decidedly am NOT. But thank you for your comment anyway!
Love your positive vibes and perspective on collecting. MTFBWY.
oh hell yes , a Stella star figure, lol please
Love the retro! I'm glad there are retro creators where I can get my dreams figures such as Shadows of the Empire, Kenobi and Rogue!
Expect a force awakens set next year, and a rogue one set too. I’d also see a star wars rebels set being made They could split the last jedi and rise of skywalker into one set if disney force them to make one for that too. Solo a star wars story won’t be too hard since tvc doesnt have lots of figures for it
I don't even like the prequels and think not putting out two sets is odd.
