It's great to have some transparency at last. SW collecting is in good hands with this guy
So Glad that You're Back on the Star Wars Team Mr Stevie!
I love Steve’s passion when he talks about figures!!!
thank you Tim it was an awesome show and an awesome time with all of you guys 😊👍
Nice plug for the AT-AT and Snowtrooper. Great conversation. As a 50 year old collector this year, I'm super excited to see what all is coming for the Return to Tatooine on that gorgeous Star Wars Kenner card. But hearing Steve talk about planning for 2026, 27, 28, and 29 man got my mind racing. Sounds like we'll have themed based releases for years to come. That's going to be a great journey. Can't wait.
I'd love a return to Hoth/Empire Strikes Back year (hint, hint)!! 😃
Thanks for chatting Tim. A pleasure as always! Hope to run into you in person soon. Cheers all for tuning in.
@@themrstevie18 thanks Steve appreciate your time.
Can you tell us what movie or TV show your favorite retro figure is from?
Fascinating and good humoured discussion! 👏 Understanding that the 'Return to Tatooine' project is part of an ongoing and considered yearly strategy fills me with hope. 🙏 Thanks BB, good tag-team with Sithlord and Mr Stevie is a very personable and upfront guest. Excellent as ever! 👌
Great video and great chat with Steve, thank you for being a great ambassador for TVC and actually asking solid questions across the board. Wish we could get more of these interactions, quarterly or something. Anyway cheers 🍻
Cheers buddy. Quarterly would be great.
Steve is fantastic! Let's complete Bad batch, Steve. It would be great to ask Steve that if fans were to do a vehicle poll, what parameters should be set. For example, what price points correspond to what "type" of vehicle sizes. For example, small vehicles $49.99 - i.e. Speederbike with figure.
Such a great conversation. Really just keeps validating what Steve brings to the table. Very excited for the future
Great show! I'm glad Hasbro is finally listening or pretend to listen to You Tube channels like this one and get actual feedback from fans and know what we want
Thanks BB! I am so glad you are representing us
Steve is a top bloke. Fingers crossed for a return to Tatooine retro set of figures.
I hope we see return to hoth. That would have me over the moon
“THE KING OF TVC!” Its official!
Tim, the way you kept inserting finishing the Bad Batch and getting other figures made is the stuff of legends! Great interview!
Tim I really appreciate you opening a new world of you tubers and the community! Overall I sure appreciate your kindness and humanity that you show along with victoria of the cant8na and Hasbro Steve! I think Steve and and you are still younger as I was born in 69 but the passion keeps this going and very thankful to know what’s coming and what may or not be possible! Jabba comes Tuesday and very happy for that!
We need bespin ugnaughts, the ice cream machine guy, other various background characters. New bespin gown Leia. Thank you for the video BB!
Definitely need Bespin Gown Leia in 6" Black Series
Excellent discussion and full of insights as to the future direction, I really like the plan for each year to be a 'story' and with 2027 fast approaching, I am very excited for what is in the works. I think transparency and engagement with the fans is key to the sustainability and long term ambitions for the SW range, so I came away from the interview encouraged and optimistic. Thanks Tim, Steve, Mr Stevie and Brandon!
what a great interview and tremendous insight from Steve
Great work, Tim! Always great to hear the thought process behind the line. Looking forward to seeing this “story” approach over the next few years.
Awesome. Hope to see more new characters for Vintage Collection. Please, balance the scales. Hasbro is doing great this year. Thanks for the conversation.
I love Mr. Steve’s trust and respect for Emily! We love her 👍🏻
Refreshing to see that someone who is involved in making Star Wars product actually listens to the fans
“Return to Tatooine” story telling or theme building is a huge step in the right direction! GI Joe team did this same thing for a while and we got fantastic stories and tie in’s that made awesome world building!
I’m excited for return to tattooine but I hope it’s not all just a new hope and we get to see some prequel love too, perfect chance to get some new Phantom menace figures out even if it’s a year later 😂
Great chat. You can't help but think Steve is just a nice bloke. Pleased his balance is in control. Thank you
Really good discussion and conversation Tim, excellent video as always. Glad you had Steve E on as his a good friend of mine from his UK days and a passionate collector and TVC is in good hands with him in my opinion. And besides he’s an even better bloke! Have a good day.
Great thanks Bossk. It's really good to hear Mr Stevie talk about what they're planning going forward for the next few years. And is it the first time they've actually said they are concentrating on fans/collectors (even if the VC does have 4+ on the cardbacks!)
great work Bossk, thanks
An enjoyable watch - thanks for sharing it with us!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great chat Tim! Mr. Stevie love hearing your passion for the lines & the focus on stories. With that sort of in mind I'd love to see more beasts like many people I think, but rarely mentioned is the giant ice spider from The Mandalorian, the Krykna. I would love to get one in TVC with some more of the mid and smaller sized spiders we have already to go with it. The spider also is something that interacted with The Razorcrest, so it fit's that story building criteria as well, especially if we end up getting Frog Lady in the next year or two!
Wow… I have to say I’m a fan of Mr. Steve’s vision for “themed” year kind of things.
What an absolute top guy Steve is. The insight he gave into the planning was fantastic & the future of TVC is in great hands. Great interview.
Excellent interview/chat, really enjoyed it 👏👏👏
Enjoyed that very much, and answered a lot of questions for me.
Imperial Patrol Trooper please. It is seen in the Solo movie, which means that trooper was prevalent in the dark times the 19 years between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.
I love the design of the costume and would army build those patrol troopers.
Was that a mention of the Black Hole? I love this guy, now that’s a film I could use new figures from! Forget marvel, I need more 70s sci-fi! As a black series AND vintage collection pick ‘n’ chooser I’m fully on board with this ‘stories’ angle, I’ve backed the cantina and I’m excited to see what’s next
Woah. What a treat this will be! Can't wait! 👌
Great job, Tim!
Thanks!
Fantastic discussion. Thanks to all involved!
Sweet I'm too excited Tim
I'd love it if we could get the 3.75" Marvel universe back with the quality that Vintage collection has .
Great chat!
Awesome👏👏👏👏
Such a good interview! A lot of information in there. A little bit of read between the lines. Lol. Good to know that we’re gonna be getting Tatooine related tvc through next year! I like the idea of themed years. Great stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Congratulations Tim. What fantastic proof of the importance of your channel.
Thank you Jared, kind of you to say!
We still need the modern update of the Imperial Dignitary!
sithlord229! wow old school
Ouch! 😂
It’s good to see you on here @Sithlord229
@@SithLord229it’s great to see you on here, I remember finding your videos on youtube years ago., great stuff
TVC 4EVER. Yet I have a Marvel Legends Retro 3.75 request actually, as I know Steve Evans worked on the line and since he says he "wants to complete and finish" what he is doing. Please FINISH this line or at least complete it with special 2-PK or 4-PK sold directly on Pulse: DOCTOR STRANGE, NAMOR, COLOSSUS, NIGHTCRAWLER, IRON FIST, HAWKEYE, SCARLET WITCH, NICK FURY, PUNISHER (...), as this line is the embodiement of Marvel in its 1980's PRIME and a collector's dream come true, even though people wrongly slept on this one as they were blinded by the lack of articulation (which has never been the point here, the "statuesque" and iconic "static" representation of the hero was the point). I love ML RETRO 3.75 so much. Even a fantastic four Baxter Building cardboard playset complete with Fantasticar (the "bathtub one) and the FF in their 60's colors would be great. Please consider this idea, a special ML Retro 3.75 project every year to continue this line and "complete chore characters". Thank you Steve for you efforts and implication to deliver the goods to us, as far as I am concerned what Hasbro is doing is history in the making ;) Oh, and back to Star Wars, thank you for the TVC Cantina (Tonnika Sisters ! We are blessed!) and please consider the last ships to be done ever from the A New Hope movie : The Lars Landspeeder and the Ubrikkian 9000 Landspeeder which needs to be placed in front of our cantina !
Love that interview!!
I'll have you know that that's a state of the art Yorkshire webcam!
We've only just discovered the internet here! I was running this stream through Windows '98!
Since next year is Return to Tatooine, will we be seeing more TBOBF figures?
TK Trooper when?
Looking forward to this! Although as an avid fan and collector of the SW Retro Collection, I am hoping for an official announcement of its status too. It has been missing from a few notable spots now (including this video's key art), and I would like to know if it is still a thing.
"They're charming and they're simplified, but there is something there." Exactly, Steve! Please keep the SW Retro collection alive. Also another wave or two of Indy Retro makes no business sense I am sure but I still want them. =)
I love the new big cardback for the marshall. Boxes don t do the job for the deluxe.
I like the deluxe boxes because the packaging is fully recyclable 😮 ...ooops, I've said too much 😂
Steve Evans : an idea for SW RETRO 3.75, what about scanning and reissuing the original MINI-RIGS ? They were truly unique to Kenner and since they did not appear in the movies then no one is expecting or requesting those to be re-adapted for TVC. Budget-wise they would be "ok" I think. I don't like SW Retro that much (contrary to ML Retro) but would be all-in for MINI RIGS having a second coming ;)
Let him know, that for TVC we still need the rest of The Bad Batch, Assaj Ventress, Phase 1 Stormtroopers (The Bad Batch), New Republic Security Droid (The Mandalorian), Coruscant Security (Jedi Survivor), Trilla/2nd Sister (Jedi: Fallen Order), Cad Bane (The Bad Batch), 5th Brother (Star Wars: Rebels), Kelleran Beq (The Mandalorian), Imperial Armored Commando (The Mandalorian) and Hylobon Enforcers (Solo)
Hey Sithlord! 2003 called and it wants its webcam back 😂😂😂 only joking - awesome stuff all around guys 🎉
We need the Bad Batch figures to complete the collection dang I get tooling but there is a need
Based on what Steve took into account when creating this newer deluxe blister card, I'm thinking Hasbro is planning a Pong Krell figure for deluxe.
Or Wrecker? Or Baze?
Also I like Sith Steve and he seems like a great guy but his wonkie feed made him look like max hedroom!😂😜 I felt like I was back in the eighties!
The most needed figure, that you all missed to comment: C3PO, proper scale, proper painting, in New Hope card. It is absolutely not acceptable to not have it available as of now. No excuses. Terrible decision.
Full sized Haslab AT-AT for the love of God.
Mr Stevie is a nice Guy :)
I Switch off when people start talking about packaging,as I just rip those figures out lol .
But I do appreciate it before the desecration begins lol.
I would love it if certain teams were finished #finishthebadbatchcrew#finishtheotherskiff#finishtheknightsofren#populatethecantina
Good afternoon Tim. Could you please ask any possibility of a new Republic Gunship or a repack of it? Thank you.
@@-Egemen it’s not live. It’s a premier sorry
@@BossksBounty No problem Tim. Thank you very much. Have a nice day
*uses jedi mindtrick* you WILL rerelease the Barge...👋
💪😎
Thank you for asking the great questions you did Tim! A little sad our other buddy didn’t ask what Steve’s favorite color was though lol. Jk!
I don't know if o missed any thing talked about my thought of how does hasbro make the choice of what to produce. Hasbro produces 3.75, 6 onch, retro, micro, and black series. Then from those they pick from all the story lines within the franchize. I think they are spreading themselves thin on producing what might more profitable what fans would buy into. I can go into resale stores and fine more of the different sizes that the VC that i would buy up. My thought is that the VC is more profitable than some of these others. So why would hasbro stop spreading themselves thin and produce more chairactors of these items that are sell more than others.
Will we ever see a new Han Solo. A new hope of Dating Hoth Battle Gear. That would be nice
Hopefully i can catch this its at kinda an odd time for my current sleep pattern.
I'd love to know when/if we can expect the female mandos from the siege of mandalore and the last 5 characters but i'm not sure its his wheel house, the females is one mold and 2 characters one kitbash, and 4 repaints very easy investment.
Like wise the Tank commander/Driver at this stage even a reissue would be good- but if they could add rocker ankles i wouldn't hate it.
and lastly.. the Peg hole issue.. some people are drilling the holes into their figures, or requiring new stands some stance going forward would be nice.
Cheers as always any questions answered is always good for unveiling some of the unknown factors from our hobby we put so much effort into.
Updating Hoth Battle Gear
KBB!!!
Ask him what's up with a new jabba's face paint. Mine looks like a 3-year-old that just ate a lot of chocolate. Terrible quality control!
😀👏👏👏👏😊
i want a retro collection Pergill Space Whale that looks like the Constellations in the end credits of the Ahsoka tv show, about 16 inches long and 5 or 6 inches high and 5 or 6 inches wide with an open and close mouth
Crazy to say but I would buy one! 😂💰😜🧨
When are We going to Finally get a Proper Black Series, Burgundy Outfit, Bespin Leia? She is the Only Representation of Leia We Don't have from the Original Trilogy.
So he’s the guy we blame?….
👍🏻
Hi Tim, Has Hasbro ever shared details around the business side? Like what percent of each figure's sales goes to licensing?
Or how many figures need to be sold to break even with the new tooling costs?
No I doubt they would
Hasbro dropping Disney?????
Why is that BlackSeries dude on this TVC interview. Weird that he highjacked the interview w/ Mr.TVC Stevie and bragged off on BlackSeries. I usually don't mind it (I grab loads of BlackSeries) but he's really annoying me w/ his "were all collectors under one moon" shtick. Aaaand DUDE! Pay your internet bill!
It wasnt a TVC interview. It was done as part of the Star Action Figures Collectors Event.
Haters will be haters. Some "noise" indeed ;)
SithLord pioneered Star Wars RUclips channels - and championed TVC - so what if he prefers his Black Series these days? It was nice to hear some thoughts on that line too as many of us collect both lines
@@rossthomas123 Thank you Ross!
@@RegisEmmanuelSuire Living proof that you can't please everyone. 🤷 Hey ho!
