Thanks to David Chambers on Patreon I can now confirm that Dr. Evazan's arms are reuse, turns out they are from Jedi Luke. In my defense, all of my Black Series Jedi Lukes are covered by something. Endor poncho, Mandalorian cloak as a stand-in until we get a proper one, etc. I can award myself points for at least recognizing the reuse, right? RIGHT?
That Fennec Shand figure might have secured herself a spot in the top 10 best Black Series figures of all time. She is dripping with budget. Great review Robo. You’re my favorite.
I really hope the production version of the "deluxe" throne room Boba has the accurate black undersuit instead of reusing the brown from the Nomad Boba.
Unless you reeeeaaallly want every look of Boba's I'd wait. He's getting a "final" look in his show which is more clean and "new" looking, that one, if it gets a figure, would have to be a mostly new sculpt.
I want Fennec Shand! She's so cool inside and outside the series. BB used her pretty well, Mando did a great job with her, and I'm wondering what she'll be like in Book of Boba
Yep.. So Great that Hasbro (like All BS since the better box packaging adjustment) will make sure to under produce them. Sending 1 or maybe 2 whole cases over the next year to A TARGET &/or Walmart near you (and me).
I'm a big fan of the new stormtrooper sculpt. I agree - it just looks natural, like a person wearing armor. A that Boba Fett fig looks better better than expected!
22:04 Fun Fact: Michael Carter who played Bib Fortuna in ROTJ, also plays the subway station victim in the "An American Werewolf In London" movie. "Whereas I am a victim of your carnivorous lunar activities." - Gerald Bringsley
You see Ponda Baba (Walrusman)'s model of blaster in the Mandalorian, in Mando's weapons rack on the Razor Crest. But in real-life, the prop came from an armourer, who among other productions, supplied weapons for the BBC Television series Doctor Who. There's one particular Doctor Who story, in which the Doctor's arch enemies the Daleks are left without power for their built-in blasters. So, they develop a machine gun instead - and it's a long silver tube with those distinct flared fins on the end. Along came Star Wars a few of years later, and the armourer supplied weapons to that production - including a pistol with the Dalek machine-gun barrel. It's not the only time there was a cross-over of props between the two productions - the Tusken Raider Gaffi-stick appeared in the Doctor Who story The Power of Kroll. The space-suits worn by Bossk and by BoShek in the Cantina in A New Hope both turned up in Doctor Who a couple of times in the 60s, and Jabba's hookah was sprayed all gold and stuck to a wall as decoration in The Twin Dilemma.
I want to say the Jedha troopers backpack is for carrying kyber crystals and the cylinders are crystal containers. But the sound system idea is more fun!
Yeah, that's right. The backpack also carries a "Multi-Frequency Spotlight Glow Rod" (basically one of those chunky like rectangular flashlights), a pair of Electrobinoculars, a datapad, and an Armor Accessory Cube Locker (what that is, I haven't the slightest idea)
Ponda and Evazon look like decent civilian fodder, once you pop the heads/hands. Not sure Evazon could be a good base for Wuhrer, but (…Rod Steiger?) from Life Day needs a bit more of a gut. Otherwise, that body could work for all three. And I still want Bea, Harvey, and Chewie’s family as figures! Leia almost looks like her Blues Bros self. Nice call on updating the gold bikini head, as we’ll never get another one of her (and Oola?). Fennec is the only one I’m interested in so I can custom Malinda May to join SHIELD. And did you hear about the JUST HITTING 2021 Holiday figures? White Chewie w/red suspenders (Ultra-Humanite, or Ultra-Wookieenite, anyone?), w/ porg. Red Biker Scout w/ Grogu in sack. (Aka Adam Pally!) C-3PO (elf style w/ Hey-HEY! dude?), red StormTrooper, and a green Trooper. Not sure why they mostly reuse the Troopers, as Hoth Rebels could work, too. Or green Twi-lek. Not sure WHERE these are hitting, but all five were found at once, not sure what store, either?
Robo, it was super to get your take on this wave. The mix master/war of sound trooper was 😀. Fennec is the stand out. I am impressed with her rendering. You put Bib through the paces and there is a well articulated figure underneath all the attire. All of them make a worthwhile wave. Bring on the denizens of Jabbas palace as black series!
I feel so "out of it" - I have been a fan of Star Wars (since i saw the first film when it came out, when I was in third grade) and I had ZERO clue that Bib Fortuna was a Twi'lek! I guess it's his Leeku/head tails, and they way they draped that made the think he was just another species I hadn't seen before. Glad I tuned in - not only great reviews but I learned something!!! Thanks FWOOSH! You ROCK!
Someone needs to say this: Double knees suck and are a false economy with more negatives for display and posing than positives. You can choose between kicking ones own butt in poses noone will ever use, or so rarely as to be pointless, whilst rendering all normal leg posing with a weird looking lack of knee ...... OR you can have a single knee joint that looks like a normal leg bends, and has a prominent knee when bent. The ONLY time a double joint works a bit better is if the figure has knee pads or armour
Save for the Mayfeld being a seriously weird pick, I'd say this is one of the strongest Black Series waves ever. Four legendary characters, two characters in currently airing media, and a very solid army builder is a fantastic lineup. Still wish Mayfeld was in his Season 1 gear though, because as it stands, there is basically no point in having Zero now.
I have the Cantina Showdown set, but I'll probably grab Ponda for both flippered and handed looks, and the first thing I thought when I took Evazon out of the package was "Wuhr custom", so now there's that possibility
Love the Bib Fortuna. I wish it would have come with his 'vintage Kenner' staff though, especially as he had it in the after credits scene of Mandalorian season 2
I hear you on the Miggs Mayfeld sculpt. I similar issues withe the Luke Skwwalker Sbowspeeder Pilot H/S. Had to go thru 3 figures till i finally got one with decent eye printing!
So far the only explanation for the jedha pack circle thing is it is where they store kyber crystals. Is it true? Probably not but it's all I've heard so far
8:15 "Is that why they did that?" Immediately cuts to a Starbucks commercial. Can't wait for this wave to be more readily available! Need that Boba and Stormtrooper the most, will work on the Tank Driver (not Migs because I'm definitely army building this) and Ponda Baba later.
The blue shading on Bib's head really throws me off. Like, it would be one thing if that's how he looked in Return of the Jedi, but it's not. I literally just went and double checked in case, and there's only the very faintest hint of blue in some creases on his head tails, but certainly nothing on his face. Weird choice.
Wondering if the Fennic head on the Jaina Solo body would make for a good Melinda May... (or maybe pop that head on the Slave Leia body to recreate 50th birthday party Ming-Na... ;) )
Robo mentioned the prior version Stormtrooper having a head under the bucket, but didn't say if the new one does...does anyone know if it still has T-Morrison noggin under?
Fenic is gonna be a top ten figure I'm sure.. As for the robe on boba it might not look completely accurate but it will allow for nice composition for photography... I'm regretting not preordering this entire wave now
typical, just as i'm considering changing my collecting habits (thinking of getting more into statues like iron studios 1/10 scale instead of these figures, more high end things) they go & bring out a wave of figures where nearly half of it is figures ive thought id like since i started collecting, i'm having a dilemma now lol
It be a good good! I’m okay with Brown Fett. The nomad look is very cool. But his armored look will always be better. The cups are permanent accessories for Bomba and Evazan. They may be wanted men but I think them more as those goofy azz renegades who find trouble. I don’t see them as more than goons and drinking buddies. Bib’s double chin should have been set back just a little more so the chin chin is more pointed. Shand is a treat! The best pick of the box for sure. Those straps come off of the rifles if they get in the way.
I pre-ordered this wave too, but in germany we will get the whole wave in summer '22. But I'm looking forward to get this amazing wave. Greetings from germany.
Moin! Kannst Du mir sagen, wo man die "Black Series" in Deutschland bekommt? Bin seit einigen Tagen angefixt, aber nicht sicher, wo man sie am besten kauft. Danke und Grüße aus Hamburg 👍🏻
I missed it at Dorksidetoys! It sold out fast! I do have the wave ordered, except the Leia. I have 3 Leia's already and the original outfit ordered so I passed on the Ceremony Leia.
Love the depth and detail of your reviews but I have to say I’m an absolute sucker for the comedic element that you give us! Absolutely brilliant!!👏🏼🫶🏻
If Hasbro is going to reuse parts for new characters I wish they would include more accessories. Fett got a robe, why not give Bib one as well? The storm trooper is my favourite of the wave, the rest are ok.
Are those Bob Fortuna legs reuse? The double knees seems kinda telling as well as the strange striped design. Wouldn’t expect that from a fig with completely concealed legs
Is the stormtrooper helmet a thicker/harder plastic then the original release helmets? I've heard they made the Artillery Troopers and new Shock Trooper's helmet stiffer to prevent warping.
Thanks to David Chambers on Patreon I can now confirm that Dr. Evazan's arms are reuse, turns out they are from Jedi Luke. In my defense, all of my Black Series Jedi Lukes are covered by something.

Of course.....of course you can.
He video idea maybe can you review amazing yamagichi revoltec bakugou
Right!
fine... half points
😜
Bib's legs are reuse from Dryden Vos as well.
That Fennec Shand figure might have secured herself a spot in the top 10 best Black Series figures of all time. She is dripping with budget. Great review Robo. You’re my favorite.
I’m gonna HAVE to pick her up for sure
Definitely not... Will be a peg warmer for sure.
I really hope the production version of the "deluxe" throne room Boba has the accurate black undersuit instead of reusing the brown from the Nomad Boba.
You already know what they will do, search your feelings, you know it to be true.
Its brown.
@@forrestpenrod2294 In the promo pics its brown, but in the package shots its black, so its uncertain right now.
Unless you reeeeaaallly want every look of Boba's I'd wait. He's getting a "final" look in his show which is more clean and "new" looking, that one, if it gets a figure, would have to be a mostly new sculpt.
@@christophervaughn3834 it’s BLUE! 😂😂
The Casting Cave folks are going to have a blast making a new Bill Burr head. Can't wait to see improvements over that tragedy.
I want Fennec Shand! She's so cool inside and outside the series. BB used her pretty well, Mando did a great job with her, and I'm wondering what she'll be like in Book of Boba
Probably the most excited I have been for black series figures in a while.. I think this is a great wave.
Yep.. So Great that Hasbro (like All BS since the better box packaging adjustment) will make sure to under produce them. Sending 1 or maybe 2 whole cases over the next year to A TARGET &/or Walmart near you (and me).
Can’t wait to get my hands on these guys. I am a little disappointed that walrus man, does not come with a detachable arm.
It can be detached, depending on how determined you are. Got a tiny lightsaber handy?
@@rarewhiteape not that determined lol
I'm a big fan of the new stormtrooper sculpt. I agree - it just looks natural, like a person wearing armor.
A that Boba Fett fig looks better better than expected!
I think that's the best Carrie Fisher sculpt, but it feels older. Almost closer to what she looked like on the late 80s

This wave looks fantastic. It's the first time I can recall wanting all the figures in a wave. I can't wait to get these.
I’d buy all these. But I think I’ll just get Ponda Baba. He’s a unique alien that is always welcome for representation.
Seeing a fennec makes me want a zam wessel even more
My only complaint about Bib is that I really wish he came with his staff from the Kenner figure.
I can only imagine the excuse is how we never saw him with it in ROTJ but they included cups, so it’s really not an excuse tbh
Fennec and Bib are awesome figures! 2:47 "Legs are a little short..." for a Storm Tr, I'll see myself out.
Love ANY sandtrooper figure, love my orange and black shoulder orig black wave ones!
I love how the Watcher is peeking in at you! 😆😆😆
I want to say the Jedha troopers backpack is for carrying kyber crystals and the cylinders are crystal containers. But the
sound system idea is more fun!
They're the ones who play the Imperial March whenever the Empire is around.
Yeah, that's right. The backpack also carries a "Multi-Frequency Spotlight Glow Rod" (basically one of those chunky like rectangular flashlights), a pair of Electrobinoculars, a datapad, and an Armor Accessory Cube Locker (what that is, I haven't the slightest idea)
This Wave 31 is hands 🙌 down the greatest wave in Star Wars Black Series history!
I hope we get more Ewoks for the return of the Jedi anniversary
Boba actually looks quite good without the cloth robes over the top…
Going to pick up a second Fennec for a custom agent of shield.
Can’t wait to see that leia warming the shelves next to lando for the next six months and NOTHING else!
Ponda and Evazon look like decent civilian fodder, once you pop the heads/hands.
Not sure Evazon could be a good base for Wuhrer, but (…Rod Steiger?) from Life Day needs a bit more of a gut. Otherwise, that body could work for all three.
And I still want Bea, Harvey, and Chewie’s family as figures!
Leia almost looks like her Blues Bros self. Nice call on updating the gold bikini head, as we’ll never get another one of her (and Oola?).
Fennec is the only one I’m interested in so I can custom Malinda May to join SHIELD.
And did you hear about the JUST HITTING 2021 Holiday figures?
White Chewie w/red suspenders (Ultra-Humanite, or Ultra-Wookieenite, anyone?), w/ porg.
Red Biker Scout w/ Grogu in sack. (Aka Adam Pally!)
C-3PO (elf style w/ Hey-HEY! dude?), red StormTrooper, and a green Trooper.
Not sure why they mostly reuse the Troopers, as Hoth Rebels could work, too. Or green Twi-lek.

The Cantina Showdown set already has both sets of hands.
@@toddjones1480 and now both can be displayed
Word of warning for the ether--my Ponda Baba blaster barrel broke when I tried to put it in the holster, so careful if it doesn't go in smoothly.
I always thought that the pause and record was oil written on the back of the trooper.
Love the Bib Fortuna. I wish it would have come with his 'vintage Kenner' staff though, especially as he had it in the after credits scene of Mandalorian season 2
Fennec wearing car floor mats.
Damn....you're right. I knew there was something familiar and you nailed it, haha!
@@TheFwoosh😂😂
Def grabing those Boba and Fenic toys the robe scared me but im glad almost all the details are there
I want ALL OF THEM! Especially Boba and Fennc!

got the ones i really want all on pre-order can't wait for 2022....
Fennec just looks incredible
Boushh Leia would’ve been cool imo
So far the only explanation for the jedha pack circle thing is it is where they store kyber crystals. Is it true? Probably not but it's all I've heard so far
Ye, that was specified in the visual dictionary. They also carry a stupid flashlight; my bad, a Multi-Frequency Spotlight Glow Rod
@@cinnamonbun1379 oooh multi-frequency
Great looking wave. Mine shows arriving on Thursday. Excited for the whole case.
If you look at Miggs face head on, you'll notice the Jae lines are totally messed up.
One side is square the other side is narrow
8:15 "Is that why they did that?" Immediately cuts to a Starbucks commercial.
Can't wait for this wave to be more readily available! Need that Boba and Stormtrooper the most, will work on the Tank Driver (not Migs because I'm definitely army building this) and Ponda Baba later.
These aren’t even up for preorder in the uk yet
Anyone else seeing Bespin Lando's legs in Bib? It's a lovely wave but so much damn re-use lately
They are actually from Dryden Vos from Solo
The blue shading on Bib's head really throws me off. Like, it would be one thing if that's how he looked in Return of the Jedi, but it's not. I literally just went and double checked in case, and there's only the very faintest hint of blue in some creases on his head tails, but certainly nothing on his face. Weird choice.
Uncle Fester Boba Fett! Now I can't unsee that! Dammit, Robo! 🤣

Awesome video on star wars figures collection are amazing 1000% fantastic star wars videos keep collecting and may the force be with you 👽👽👍👍👍👍👍👍
The legs for bib is Dryden Vos’es legs I think… great wave good and smart reuse that’s for sure
Great timing. Just got my case ship notice from Dorkside yesterday. Looks to be an extremely solid wave. Can't wait to get my hands on them.
the way the legs are articulated is how anthonys customs want the dragon ball figures to almost look like and its really good.
Robo mentioned the prior version Stormtrooper having a head under the bucket, but didn't say if the new one does...does anyone know if it still has T-Morrison noggin under?

I'll say it. We need Watto and Sebulba next
btw it’s possible to get the backpack underneath the pauldron
FYI Dr. Evazan's arms are Endor Han's arms being reused.
Yes! One of the best wave
The Bib Fortuna figure reminds so much of the 3 3/4 Power of the Force figure from the 90's.
For the ponda figure, do you know the ball joint on the neck is bigger for the head? Or could it fit a standard hasbro figure head?
You seen that TVC Bib head? Hasbro nailed Bib's likeness and skin coloring there, but here....not so much.
Bibs legs are actually reuse from Dryden Vos with new feet.
The arms you were wondering about are from the rotj luke skywalker mold.
Boba has that creepy 1,000 yard stare going with this head sculpt and eyes. Now I can’t sleep. 27:56
Only after Fennec Shand. So I'm happy she turned out great
I pre-ordered this wave too, but in germany we will get the whole wave in summer '22. But I'm looking forward to get this amazing wave. Greetings from germany.

Not sure since I don't have the figure, but are the Bib Fortuna legs the same sculpt as the Dryden Vos legs?
Can't wait for Fennec!
The Bib Fortuna cloak reminds me of SHF Ben Kenobi’s plastic robe!
Why was I so weak when robo said , “YOU’ll BE TURNED ON!”
YES!! A glorious day!
If It weren't for the lack of an ab joint Ceremony Leia might make a good base for a custom Slave Leia. 😔
I missed it at Dorksidetoys! It sold out fast! I do have the wave ordered, except the Leia. I have 3 Leia's already and the original outfit ordered so I passed on the Ceremony Leia.
Fennec looks like the original Black Series packaging in (tiny plastic)human form!
the best part is you can make the new stormtroopers kneel and no pins!
Please let them resculpt that Din Djarin head. It's so squishy and bad lol
Both Fennec and Boba I seen some kitbash possibility with. Guess Boba's knees are indicative of future Asoka engineering
How did you get these so soon. Every place I look says earliest is may 2022 to March 2022
Mayfeld...from Boston. You should've had a Bill Burr audio clip cued up when you yanked his bucket.
Fennec Shand in the black & orange, she's part of Team Taz bruddah!
Meanwhile in the UK, these aren't even up for pre order
😔
