One of the best parts of the morning is a new OOTB video 🙌. Great video as always guys. Also now having the context on how they would’ve packed that Chewie in the orange box I can see why they decided to delay it’s release 😂
Really happy you noted the color of the texts via galaxy packing from Yak! I was wondering the same thing. I have NEVER seen that Chewie and thought it was a joke to look like Bigfoot walking lol.
I only had Bespin Luke. Never wanted the standard stormtrooper because I knew they could do better on the head sculpt after having the sandtrooper. I was always hoping for a new sculpt entirely and that's why the 2020 stormtrooper is still so satisfying to me. Loving these history retrospective vids. I never expected the line to make it this far. I remember just being happy with the sandtrooper as my only six inch Star Wars fig.
It seriously is crazy to see how far we all have come. I never thought I’d have damn near 400 Black Series figures. It’s crazy! So far I’ve got 14 2020 Stormy variations. I’m honestly thinking about binning some of my old body figures to make more space. -Nate
Good stuff guys. you are really peaking my curiosity with some comments you have dropped in a couple of your recent videos about some inside baseball you are hearing about hasbros interaction with Disney with regards to getting prequel figures made! What gives?!! would love to hear more about this!! I’m an old fogey as you know and am always an OT first kind of a guy but as I have been saying for awhile the biggest hole in the entire line is prequel figures that are NOT jedis or clones. none of us can look at our shelves and truthfully say they really represent the prequel era and that is increasingly frustrating as the months/years go by. Any more crumbs you can drop in future vids without damaging your relationship with any sources would be VERY appreciated. Somehow as a community we have to communicate our great desire for those figures and give hasbro the ammo they need to convince the mouse if that is the roadblock
It sucks we have to tip toe around with certain things but we gotta make sure not too say to much. Like you said gotta play it safe. We definitely need more prequel love all around! I’d love some other characters like Watto, Palps, Queen Amidala, Zam, and so many others! We are definitely going to try and share as many “rumors” as we can! -Nate
It's so funny to see Chewbacca squeezed inside the box, i wonder why Hasbro did not come up with the 'deluxe" pricing way back then, after all, he's a huge figure, more plastic as we kept getting told! Looking at the older figures i am so pleased that Hasbro have come a long way, yes not perfect, but a lot better.Great episode guys
Right?! Chewbacca and Darth Vader are both much bigger than a lot of modern “deluxe” figures. I ultimately think the line changed for the better over time. 👍🏻 Thanks for watching as always, Boba! -Justin
I am outraged by your appraisal of this orange line obi shinobi!! One of the BS finest, even to this day. A legendary banger!! 😅... What pray tell, is Davey doing here, in this random video, a year later? Well, I'll bloody well tell you. I've been contemplating finishing a boxed orange line "First 13" as a sub-set display today, as I have a fair few of them already. Imagine my confusion on looking at the Number 14 on the plain phase one clone box!? "What the shit!?"... I duly spluttered. "What happened to No.13!?" Now I know.
@@OutOfTheBasement Love these retrospectives J! Appreciate you both doing them. I know most things and history of the line, and obviously knew about the number 14 conundrum as I'd watched this episode a year ago, so you'd already told me. However, it definitely had vacated my memory, but this allowed me find out again in a couple of minutes. As of this morning, I've bought Maul and Han again, so I don't have to remove the original figures I already have from my displays and I grabbed Bezzy Luke and the Stormtrooper. That leaves R2 and Anakin to finish off the 13. I see trouble with those! There is literally no Orange box R2's currently on sale within UK ebay, and one, beaten up box Ani for £135!!... No chance I'm paying that, but he does still go for £90 - £100 here, so that's going to hurt.
It should be noted that wave for was very hard to find at retail. If I recall correctly, I got the Anakin Skywalker and clone trooper from BBTS, and didn’t see either in a store until 2015 a game stops when they started to truly focus on collectibles.
I remember getting Orange Box Obi for 7.99 on sale at a local retailer( shopko) in 2014. For 8 bucks i was happy and quickly got a 3rd party jedi robe to make him look way better. Anakin was never on the pegs in my area had to get him online. Great Flash Back episode.
Love the fact you guys kept screw ups in the video. Lol. I really wish I was collecting from the get go, even though some/most of the figures had horrible articulation and bad sculpts. I just wouldn't be so happy with peanut head and Ben Mendelsohn. Lol. An Anakin and Obi-Wan 2 pack would make Hasbro tons of money. How can they not see that? Makes one wonder. Love the series here. 👍
See?! We're human too! Lol. They do see it. I know that they've pitched the idea of a newly tooled Anakin multiple times but it keeps getting rejected. Thanks for watching, Mitch! -Justin
Just a suggestion guys, on The Mandalorian 'The Mines Of Mandalore', Hasbro should make that big robot that trapped Din, maybe as a two pack with Din and that big robot or just the big robot and that little alien that operated it. Now that probably sounds really cool.
@@OutOfTheBasement Do I think it would sell? Probably yes, and why? 'The Mines Of Mandalore' was a good episode to watch and got a positive review about it, and SWTBS fans will probably just buy it because of that.
I never knew about that chewie that's hilarious lol. They probably made the prototype and was like "uh boss, it won't fit in the box" Always look forward to Fridays! Cheers boys
Oh, man! Dust off those horrid memories. Back then, some of those sculpts are what got me started in comic book Legends instead. I bought Greedo, quit, and didn't buy another Black Series figure again until 2020.
I mean honestly though 2020 was a great year to get back into the line. The quality definitely went up starting with the galaxy packaging! Thanks for watching, Tom. 👊🏻 -Justin
Hello Nate and Justin. What can the code names represent and are they Clone Wars characters? I'm hopeful for some great CW figures. And thanks for continuing the early black series figures history. Obi Wan isn't even a repaint just reboxed for the blue line, oh the outrage. Thanks again for the video guys. Question, have you heard from David Edge ? I don't think he has posted for a week and a half or two weeks now. Just curious if you guys heard anything about him ? Thanks and take care. See you Sunday, Tom
I had never seen that Chewbacca prototype. 😂 Out of these, Anakin and Obi-Wan desperately need brand new figures. It’s a no brainer to have those two start off the Revenge of the Sith mural.
Also as I near the end of the video, I noticed Anakin had white soft goods under his waist... What is that about? Was that just a "Prototype"? Interesting to see how rendered have replaced these prototype variants in the modern day.
@@OutOfTheBasement they could have sculpted Luke's helmet first, and then derived the new Stormtrooper helmet from it by just filling the inside. An easy way to make sure that later, when they released Luke, it would look coherent. I am not saying this is what happened though. Just entertaining the idea :-)
Need a new Anakin so bad. Remember the source did say “that could change with his recent appearances and the Ahsoka show coming up” so hopefully they can convince them to do it!
Friday morning OTB goes hand in hand with coffee and traffic. If they make another Anakin before Nien Nunb I’m gonna write them a stern letter and grumph a few times under my breath. Grumph. Grumph.
Thanks Prophet! I feel like we are definitely gonna see another Anakin before Nien unfortunately. Nien could be such an easy figure to make too. Landspeeder Luke’s kitbash is almost perfect. -Nate
@@OutOfTheBasement 100% agree. Might just make it a little PSA for folks to avoid star wals and similar things if they decide to go back and pick up the orange or blue line.
I'd say Thick very well maybe Savage Opress, and speedy could be Ahsoka. And maybe maybe quite possibly sprint could be mayday from Bad Batch for certain reasons but that's kinda reaching
Yes!! Thanks for making my morning commute tolerable.
Our pleasure, Darth Prime 4! 👊🏻 -Justin

Thanks Mrcawfee! That chewy release would have been a head scratcher for sure! -Nate
Really happy you noted the color of the texts via galaxy packing from Yak! I was wondering the same thing. I have NEVER seen that Chewie and thought it was a joke to look like Bigfoot walking lol.
Not the Bigfoot pose! 😂 -Justin
Another cool episode. I’m really enjoying these history of the Black Series episodes. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, Gerald! They’re super fun to make/do research for. 👍🏻 -Justin

@@OutOfTheBasement are used to think that was a big reason why that Aniken was so expensive. But the archive Aniken is just as expensive now.

Dang thanks for sharing some of your collecting history, Fig! 🔥 Have a great weekend. -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement You to Justin. You will be missed the next few sundays but enjoy your weekends bro ✌
That old clone trooper was a nightmare.
True! The articulation was awful even then! -Nate
I too also like Darth Talon for her well developed "character".
I think that’s everyone who “loves the character” lmao -Nate
Give that Obi and Anakin RotS two pack ! Good video. Thanks .
🔥🔥🔥 -Justin
Another great video. I passed on the original and the archive Anakin 'what an idiot i am.'
Thanks AP! Let’s hope for a new figure soon! Maybe Hasbro will change their minds! -Nate
Loving this series. Will you be doing everything black series wave?
As long as there is no news this series will continue! -Nate

Our pleasure! -Justin
Great video guys. Nate do you have a link for that shirt?
It’s from the 1313 podcast! I tried to find a link to the shirt but I don’t see it currently! -Nate
@Out of the Basement thanks for looking!!
I would buy the Ani and Obi two pack battle on Mustafar. Still buy it at a $65 price tag. I want it 😆
It’d be so sick! 🔥 -Justin

Thanks Tom! We have not heard from him either. I’m gonna message him and see if he responds. -Nate
@@OutOfTheBasement Thanks Nate please let me know if you hear from him.
Anakin with an alternate head would make it a Deluxe figure now 🙈
I’d be down for them to do it again though! 😅 -Justin
Thick is actually Quinlan Vos. He's noticeably more muscular than any other jedi.
I’d love to see Quinlan! -Nate
I got the Jar Jar figure just to turn him into Darth Jar Jar with a black cloak and double bladed lightsaber lol.
Haha nice Mike! -Nate

Yeah that’s true! I didn’t even remember that until I also watched this finished video. Interesting to see but glad they removed it. -Nate
Pleassse hasbro release Thick Talon 🥵🥵🥵
💀💀💀
Maybe they changed the Stormtrooper helmet to make it more like the, by then future, Stormtrooper Luke. This Luke was probably already envisioned.
But that had a removable helmet so that also had to be a different sculpts -Nate
@@OutOfTheBasement they could have sculpted Luke's helmet first, and then derived the new Stormtrooper helmet from it by just filling the inside. An easy way to make sure that later, when they released Luke, it would look coherent. I am not saying this is what happened though. Just entertaining the idea :-)

That’s true! Fingers crossed! -Nate
Id buy at least two of those duel on Mustafar sets if Hasbro made them.
Haha that's awesome! Thanks for watching, Al. -Justin
Ah come on! Jar jar sold well, he just had “better distribution”
Right, right! Lmao -Nate
Is the 40th anniversary star wars new hope carded chewy the same as the archive? The pictures I see make them look the same
Yes they are the same except archive has photo real for whatever that’s worth lol. -Nate
@@OutOfTheBasement yeah its hard to tell to me on that figure
Friday morning OTB goes hand in hand with coffee and traffic. If they make another Anakin before Nien Nunb I’m gonna write them a stern letter and grumph a few times under my breath. Grumph. Grumph.
Thanks Prophet! I feel like we are definitely gonna see another Anakin before Nien unfortunately. Nien could be such an easy figure to make too. Landspeeder Luke’s kitbash is almost perfect. -Nate
I’d like to hear y’all’s take on the knock offs that started coming out with this line.
Tried to avoid them at all costs! I don’t like the KOs that try to “trick” you. -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement 100% agree. Might just make it a little PSA for folks to avoid star wals and similar things if they decide to go back and pick up the orange or blue line.
I'd say Thick very well maybe Savage Opress, and speedy could be Ahsoka. And maybe maybe quite possibly sprint could be mayday from Bad Batch for certain reasons but that's kinda reaching
I’d love it if all those came to the line! -Nate
I’m holding out for a 20th anniversary ROTS Anakin 🤣 …🥹 …😭
Let’s hope!! It’s only 2 years right? 😂 -Nate
Not related to this videos topic but did you see BBTS is charging $30 for wicket now and $25.99 for the others in his wave? Wtf
Yeah it’s a bummer but they definitely do that from time to time on highly desirable stuff. -Nate
@@OutOfTheBasement I know I’m just surprised because of how new of an item this is. I’ve seen it on older stuff but not things that just released
A shame Disney destroyed every last bit of interest I had for Starwars.
Thanks for watching! -Nate
Releasing old figures AGAIN 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣pass
Tell me you’re being sarcastic. 💀 Did you watch the video?!?
