    I wouldn't put Grievous so low on the list, but he definitely belongs on it. That underscaling is criminal. Black Series could've contended with the model kit if it weren't for that issue

      I understand he towers over people, but he’s still taller (just barely) than my 6-inch figures when he’s hunched, let alone standing tall
      Just my take on it, I’m happy that I got him nonetheless, the split arms thing (something not a lot of people like) is awesome in my opinion

    Slave leia hurts cuz I could use her for a diorama but she’ll never be reproduced & I’m not paying 2nd market price for her. Some figures are priced ok. But people think she’s gold, but she is terrible. I like the 1 that has 2 sets of legs (1 for sitting & another for standing) but that’s 3 inch. However I have a 3 inch hut dio too.

    I started collecting the Black Series when the line first started, but then dropped out around 2015 / 2016. Some of those early figures were great, but there were so many disappointments - the first Vader (on this list), Slave Leia (on this list), the first Emperor. . . When the figures for Force Awakens started coming out, I just found myself not caring anymore. For me, it wasn't out of hate for the movie, it was how low-effort the figures were. I'm starting to get back into the line now, seeing how great most of the newer figures are.

Having purchased "Boldoh" a while ago, I can agree the figure isn't actually bad. No idea about Tico, but dear me, that Poey is rough!! I'd still have Dan's Poe centre-stage as it's not even bad, just hilarious! Definitely a talking point. No blue line kenobi? That was bad. I'm still gutted I passed on it for 5 quid from my local toyshop. Would love to have it boxed on shelf to highlight the line's progression....Excellent video chaps!

    @shawnhull9988 Год назад +1

    Good list! Such a shame that we’ll never get a decent Leia (slave outfit) or Grievous unless customized. I’ll throw a few more out for your consideration.
    1) Jabba - scalp is undersized, no tail articulation & no throne or Salacious Crumb. This was one of the first deluxe figures with nothing deluxe but the price.
    2) Han/Luke (Hoth) - the likenesses were both atrocious. Luke has the stupid cloth scarf glued to his helmet & does nothing. Han has the stupid split back hood. The Taun Taun looks decent but is almost impossible to stand. Another of the first deluxe sets but really both of these are crap.
    3) Wampa- not sure how they screwed up a creature so badly that has been made numerous times over 40 years but the blood makes him look like he just came from a Hoth pie eating contest & the useless removable are gimmick is moronic.
    4) Every R Series Astromech - I love that we’re getting more versions and the first R2 had a ton of accessories. Every one of these has been undersized, now none of them come with any accessories yet they still have the stupid dome panels that fall out and are never found again. The retractable 3rd leg was a really bad design that we keep carrying forward 🤬
    5) Yoda - They have made like 4 releases to date and can’t get the scale or skin color correct. The articulation or lack there of is laughable for a main saga character. How have we not gotten a prequel version released?
    Honorable Mention - Kuiil - How can the first Ugnaught produced be a new character from tv show who’s killed off after a few episodes & totally ignore the OT version? I also feel that like Yoda, he’s not to scale and the articulation is lacking.

    Nah Nate, that's over-stating it about IG-88/11's legs never being the same after warping, no...? I had to straighten 11's legs with a hair dryer after some time in the bin, but with pointing his and 88's 'toes' outward at a 10 and 2 o'clock position, their legs haven't bowed inward, they're parallel with his torso and arms.
    Granted though both these figures are at the back of the formation on my display, and don't have their lower halves visible, so the odd-stance isn't a deal breaker for me ha
    Still though, would absolutely second that collectors really consider which figures they put in a storage bin for long durations, maybe you saw that pic of my busted up 3rd IG droid on Discord... a bucket of bolts now lol

    While they didn't fix the size of the figure the clone Wars grievous does fix pretty much everything else. The legs are much more stiff, it matters less that the hilts are generic, and he does just posse better. Plus you can even argue the fact that because it's the animated clone Wars a doesn't need to be as big as he was in the movie because that version of him more was just tall and looming. So you can just straighten the legs

    I got the original jyn erso in an ebay auction with the figure I actually wanted (sabine wren). No doubt that person was just trying to offload it. At first I was like cool extra fig I don't have, but between the jacked up knee and it just generally being SO boring as a figure that has to be my number 1 worst TBS.

    Zalbar is hands down the worst black series figure to me. lazy repaint of a bad Chewie body. His accessories have minimal paint apps and just overall look cheap and very toy-Esque. Bottom line just looking at this figure compared to about any other black series figure and it almost doesn’t even look like the same toy line. Just gives off a really cheap vibe.

    • @OutOfTheBasement

    Hello Nate and Justin thanks for sharing your thoughts on the 5 worst black series figures. You guys are right those are some very bad figures. As bad as the IG figures are I still like mine. IG-88 is my favorite bounty hunter, it would be great if he was proper height and if he could hold his axe 🪓. IG-11 should have been a new sculpt and taller but I just can't hate him. I'm hoping for a Vader 40th Jedi with either removable helmet or a second swappable head with the chain cape. Thanks again and I'll catch you Sunday, Tom

    Worst figure i personally have is *probably* Cody. I love his design, his sculpt, the personality; everything would be perfect... if he could stand worth a shit. Gummi legs, loose thighs and he's the ONLY BS figure i have whose foot peg holes are too big for regular stands meaning he's the only one i had to glue on his stands for display purposes.
    Honorary mention goes to Hutslayer Leia (Hutsleia) who... well you know. But i got mine for 10 bucks at a comic toy thing and that's a pricetag i can't complain over.
    Second honorary mention goes to my Archive 501st Trooper whomst i found for 70 Euro in a comic shop a solid week before they started arriving in local-ish online stores for retail (roughly half of what i paid) and who's objectively inferior in every way to a bootleg clone at a quarter of the price. But maaaaaan the experience of finding a beloved clone in the wild made it worth it to levels that make me do a concern over my financial future. I can rant about the bootlegs being superior for hours but there's something magical about a successful hunt.

That Luke Skywalker with the removable chest plate from Return of the Jedi oy his Disney princess eyes. Episode 3 Obi-Wan oy that head. The (I believe) Target exclusive trash compactor Luke oy that face. General Grievous won't stand. Episode 3 Anakin Skywalker How on Earth do so many skywalkers make the list Face of the Franchise. Alas... R2-D2 tooooo small. And he got knocked over one day When I was not home one of his blue top pieces was lost. Those pieces should fasten in with a click they are so loose. I rolled out the wallet to buy another R2-D2 but no matter how many I buy I'm still short one blue cap in his head. So I have to display one with one of the very meh gimmicks. Will I die? No. First world problem? Yes. Does it bug me? Also yes. Great job on Video

When you guys should be busy with all the prequel figures,,,, considering the rise of Skywalker and the two other new films especially the force awakens, the photo real on all of them is horrible they don't even look like anywhere close to who they are supposed to be, also when the Black series first came out, none of them look like Luke Skywalker or Han Solo and that Poe dameron, are you kidding me? I would say aside from the Solo movie action figures which actually came out really well, everything else was garbage, photo real actually has done great things in the Black series, in fact, it may of saved the line as a whole, I understand you guys don't like the clone trooper because of his color and that is racist,,,,, 😂😆😂😆😂 jk I love watching you guys and I love being a subscriber
