It looks very accurate and better made than the sideshow ones. The sculpt is on point and the weathering doesn't disappoint. The only minor critique I have is that they haven't added the paint chips that show the white primer underneath, but other than that, I'll be picking this one up.
It is CRAZY how long it took for Hot Toys to make Battle Droids and Clones and other prequel characters. It is like as if they thought most people still hated the prequels.
but I was looking forward to adding to my sandy footprints base collection! Nice to see how well designed this guy is. It is fun to see that he can be rolled into transport mold.
This is a lot of love given to the most disposable droids in Star Wars. It makes me so happy. I almost squealed when I saw the neck retract for transport mode.
Welcome back, Justin! Please keep up the great work, love your detailed review on this awesome SW figures and really appreciate all the work you put behind the scenes!
Beautiful figure! I do prefer the tan ones from Phantom Menace but I really want a battle droid. I’m torn on getting this one or waiting for an announcement.
quality vid again justin.. kinda want to collect hot toys but i can't find a hot toys reseller here in the Philippines but soon i will start my hot toys collection..
You asked Justin, so I checked. Antennas is correct for what the droid has on his back. Antennae, like you said, is for bugs. Loved this review btw, I got so excited when i saw the thumbnail, even though I'm not a collector.
I like how hot toys didnt just make the same version as sideshow, now people who have the sideshow one can use that version jn a phantom menace display and have still have someolace to put this one
Do you think Hot Toys will make the security battle droid? The one with red markings we see in Revenge of the Sith once Anakin and Obi Wan land on the Invisible Hand
I been buying up a-lot of Hot Toys Sixth Scale figures these past few months and always enjoy you're videos. Had to look up you're review on him because I got him earlier today and even though he does feel fragile, he's a pretty solid figure. I might keep him in Transport mode until I obtain the Super battle droid, Darth Sidious and Padme. Still debating on Mace Windu but definitely need to get Anakin and maybe down the line Count Dooku. He just doesn't seem to fit in with my KX-Enforcer Droid or IG-11 or The Mandalorian Set of figures lol
Wow that battle droid is a wonderful figure plus It has so much more detail than all of my black series figures! And what’s funny is That it has the C-3PO head! And yeah you can say both antenna or antennai so it’s alright lol. But wow that is a masterpiece of a figure! 🤩
I'm very excited to get these in hand! (I bought 4 of them) Sorry if I missed this in your review, but does he have any metal parts? The feet maybe? He looks beautiful on Anakins STAP with the contrast of Geonosis colors and the blue. I'm wondering if his feet magnetize to the pedals.
So is Hot Toys making way fewer figures now, or is international shipping still messed up that it'll be a bit before these get to the US. I've never seen so many figures unavailable after the preorder window
Coming back to this, what is Hot Toys doing? Do they realize how well the original tan battle droids would sell, the amount of money from collectors and army builders they'd get from that version! They need to seriously consider at least announcing the regular version, because then at least we can get an estimated year time, but right now it's looking like past 2025 (for a mold they already have mind you)!
@@JustinsCollection It seems to just fit with the orange sand of Geonosis, you know? Oh, and that's how they're described to look in most officual/canon continuties of Star Wars.
It's so tempting to grab this - but I am specifically waiting for OOM-9 (The droid commander from Episode 1). I love the original tan Droids, so if the next B1 they announce isn't OOM-9, then I'll settle with tan. Not a huge fan of the Geonosis B1 Paint Scheme. I wonder when they'll do a Super Battle Droid. I'd pay a LOT for that.
I’ve got two of these bad boys coming and I cannot wait! I plan on displaying one with C-3PO head and one regular. I really hope that the B-1 will be the CIS version of the clones and we will get variants from Hot Toys. 🤞 pick up two super battle droids and have them flank Dooku. Do you think we will ever get a Commando battle droid?
If they were full metal I'd consider getting one, really disappointing that they arn't considering the price :/ Also why not use a magnet to attach the blaster to the backpack :s Ah you said about the magnet (hadn't watched the full thing when I wrote this xD)
Would love to see a droideka!!! Especially to pair with the droids against clones
Me too!
Yes that would suit the clones plus it'd be a droid vs droid
Love the geonosis colors the best. The red rusty color is absolutely incredible
Noice!
Agreed
"This is such a drag!"
"I'm quite beside myself!"
Lol

Very silly of them. More likely some dumb edict from Lucasfilm - from Disney essentially.
but I was looking forward to adding to my sandy footprints base collection! Nice to see how well designed this guy is. It is fun to see that he can be rolled into transport mold.
Haha thank goodness it isn't included with this!
Damn beat me to it on sandy footprints! 😄
@@halfvader8015 😆🤣
I am in love with this figure the battle droids have always been my favorite
Nice!
"maybe you do want a ton of c3po heads"
ah, so you read my fanfic
Lol
Hot Toys loves their Star Wars figures for sure. Awesome review video man!
They do!
4:08 Bro straight up YEETS that outta the way XD
I sure did!
You know who else have thin limbs? GREVIOUS! this is a great sign that they nailed this for whenever they decide to make their version.
Lol
I'm telling you, 2025 for 20 years of Revenge of the Sith will be an insane year for Hot Toys! So damn hyped!
This is a lot of love given to the most disposable droids in Star Wars. It makes me so happy. I almost squealed when I saw the neck retract for transport mode.
Legit its so fun!
perhaps, this is the ONLY hottoys i want. the classicness of it, just makes it precious
Nice!
a 00M9 comander repaint would be cool, it should come with a little holographic newt gunray.
True!
I love these, but definitely can't wait for the tan ones.
Noice!
I ordered six, right next to my platoon of clones! Ty for showing! It was pretty cool of EA to include them in Jedi Survivor! 🎉
Woah heck yeah!
So glad my Waitlist converted for this way back. Can't wait for mine to arrive.
Nice!
Love and greatly appreciate all of your reviews. Thank you.
My pleasure!
Two figures is a good number for posing, also maybe one more with C-3PO head!
Agreed!
It would be awesome if they made a two pack with a reg tan, and like a commander. Great review
Agreed!
Welcome back, Justin! Please keep up the great work, love your detailed review on this awesome SW figures and really appreciate all the work you put behind the scenes!
Thank you so much!
Fingers crossed for a regular B1!
I hope so!
If you play Star Wars Battlefront a lot this color is super iconic.
Yeah!
Security droids were always my favorite color scheme wise
Nice!
God I love attack of the clones.
Me too!
Must buy for Prequel fans in my opinion.
Yes!
@@JustinsCollection, mine finally came in the mail today. Absolutely love this figure.
battle droids are my favorite character dude
So glad they made a figure of it
Nice!
This droid specifically will go great with my Jango fett! Thanks Justin
Yep!
The droid beside the clones and Dooku is accurate to lore as B1s stand at 6’3, Clones are 6’ and Dooku is 6’5
Ok!
Battle droid in the Star Wars cartoon version: “But I just got my promotion!”
Lol
Now we need a droideka. Top notch figure and fantastic review.
We do!
Or a commando or tactical Droid.
Getting two of these myself. Hoping for repaints. I’d get a couple of the tan versions too.
Me too!
Sweet review, they nailed it with this droid. It would be interesting if hot toys made Nute Gunray
They did!
This figure is seriously cool
He is!
what a nice figure, i hope they make a commander or tan variant so i don’t have to pay upmarks on this one since it’s sold out everywhere
I hope so too!
And when they finally release the c3po figure I for sure think it will come with a droid head
It does I think
Beautiful figure! I do prefer the tan ones from Phantom Menace but I really want a battle droid. I’m torn on getting this one or waiting for an announcement.
Not sure why the tan ones are taking so long to be announced
It's funny they add a another head for the droid since in one of the movies that same head during a battle
Yeah!
I'm not much of a collector or anything like that but I'm really considering buying myself one of these
Nice!
A Han Solo would be so cool
Agreed
quality vid again justin.. kinda want to collect hot toys but i can't find a hot toys reseller here in the Philippines but soon i will start my hot toys collection..
Why thank you! I hope you find one!
@@JustinsCollection thanks justin hope to find one near in the future and to meet a fellow collectors like you..
You asked Justin, so I checked.
Antennas is correct for what the droid has on his back.
Antennae, like you said, is for bugs.
Loved this review btw, I got so excited when i saw the thumbnail, even though I'm not a collector.
Haha heck yeah!
@@JustinsCollection Now I'm excited for the superbattle droid, hope those legs are strong cause he's a big boi!
I like how hot toys didnt just make the same version as sideshow, now people who have the sideshow one can use that version jn a phantom menace display and have still have someolace to put this one

I like the commando pilot droid best

It is so good!
I want to see this model on the Republic commando color configuration
Agreed
The transport mode seems different from what we see in episode 1, is it because of the OOM models verses the B1?
Not sure
What are the batteries for? I just opened mine but confused on what that’s for
C-3PO's head
I always wanted to see a clanka review
Heck yeah!
I'm very excited to get these in hand! (I bought 4 of them)
Sorry if I missed this in your review, but does he have any metal parts? The feet maybe? He looks beautiful on Anakins STAP with the contrast of Geonosis colors and the blue. I'm wondering if his feet magnetize to the pedals.
I couldn’t afford one! Lol wouldn’t 4 be around $1000 USD?
@@CodedHumor Closer to $900 with shipping and tax. I want to get one more but idk. I also got two Super Battle Droids.
@@Dcomps Cool!
Nice! No metal parts as far as I can tell
Cool that you can remove the plastic clip on the back pack! I feared you can’t! Thanks for showing! I have preordered two! Great figure!
My pleasure!
💯% GEONOSIS agreed 👍🏻 6 or 8 will do! Nice review Justin
Heck yeah!
Everyone at the trade federation asks “where are those droidekas!” But nobody asks the banking clan how much one would cost.
Lol
So is Hot Toys making way fewer figures now, or is international shipping still messed up that it'll be a bit before these get to the US. I've never seen so many figures unavailable after the preorder window
No idea
i think best name for him is B1-0516 Bats
Lol
cool transport mode
Yeah!

Okie dokie!

We do!
Getting 7 so far.😅 Thanks for the review! 😊
Holy shit dude!
@@JustinsCollectionikr, I can’t even buy 1.
Transport mode is so damn cool omg
Nice!
Im waiting for the tan ones
Fair
My favorite b1 battle droid is the jungle droid
Noice
I've been looking forward to this figure!!! Thanks for the constant uploads! 💖
My pleasure!
Will you do a review of the Aug toys 1/6 scale figure of Paul Atreides from Dune?
Sure!

They also need to make general grievous, to show sideshow how is done.
Yep they are making super battle droids
@@JustinsCollection okay looks like I'll be grabbing that, then!
I want an original commander one w the yellow

The plural of antenna is antennae I believe

Awesome toys. Shame about the price tag.
If they were cheaper then they may not be as awesome…
Listen, those droids wiped out a lot of Republic troopers.
Many of them were my friends.
RIP
If they were full metal I'd consider getting one, really disappointing that they arn't considering the price :/
Also why not use a magnet to attach the blaster to the backpack :s Ah you said about the magnet (hadn't watched the full thing when I wrote this xD)
Oh not an issue for me the metal thing
Christopher Lee was 6'5", so that height is accurate.
Yep!
So fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Noice!
Nice
Thanks!
Hello my Brother From another mother
Yo!
@@JustinsCollection Remember me ?
Do you have a favorite variant of battle droid?
The security droids with the red markings
@@JustinsCollection Good choice! Those ones are pretty cool.
6:15 Why? My my do I really have to say it out loud? Well. You see theirs nothing like a field of impaled protocol droid heads to make a scene.
Lol
It is more sturdy than the lego battle droid
Yes lol
Bro how do you keep getting these figs early
I get them when they release in Hong Kong, where they are made. The more accurate question is why is everyone else getting them so late?
@@JustinsCollection wow I didn’t know that.
17:55 Sounds about right for a battle droid
Lol
*"Ah, Roger Roger."*
Lol
Where i can buy it
Sold out now
Epic!!!!!!!!
Thanks!

Love it!
Hey again
Yo!
How much is it?

we can still have some sand
We can
Damn! these toys are expensive
Worth it!
