    Totally agree with your rankings. I missed out on the Stormtrooper set because they were impossible to get over here. I do have the Shoretrooper, Clonetrooper, and RFT packs and they are awesome. Looking forward to the Tuskens and hopefully some Endor Rebel Soldiers with updated hips.

      Oh yeah that’s right, the 1st few sets weren’t available for many countries since Pulse hadn’t expanded. The Tuskens are going to be great, and I’m VERY excited for the potential of the first ball jointed Rebel Trooper TVC 🙌😃✨

    5:55 I appreciate you acknowledging that the rebel fleet trooper figure was based on LucasFilms head artist Doug Chang, rather then just calling it an Asian Fleet Trooper. I have that rebel fleet trooper 4 pack and when I first opened it and saw the figure, I thought it looked exactly like Doug Chang, and the figure must be based on him, "what a nice tribute", I thought. But then, I would watch other channels review this set and they would just refer that figure as the Asian figure, or a diversity figure, except yours, so Thank you!

    • @ToysAreTheWay
      @ToysAreTheWay  Год назад +2

      Oh absolutely, Doug is such an amazing artist, fan and Star Wars contributor! I was beyond excited to see him included in this trooper set when it was first announced. I am a big fan of his and it's definitely a bummer when people fail to realize that it's him. I'm sure he was delighted to have his likeness scanned for the photo real paint applications on a 1/18th scale Star Wars action figure, what an awesome project. Thank you for the kind words and support. This is the way!✨✌️😃 😃😃✌️✨

  • @StephenMurphy96
    @StephenMurphy96 Год назад +1

    This is a good idea albeit a long overdue one. This could have been something they should have had in stores years ago and even when there have been some packs released there usually was some other figure you couldn't army build and with everything being older sculpts they aren't going to be where things are now so maybe it was best they waited. Having it be an online thing I imagine can be an issue due to it's unreliability sometimes but I guess most people are ordering rather than buying things in person.
    There's a lot of packs they could stand to still release and they probably will. White Hoth Rebel Troopers, Snow Troopers, Endor Rebel Troopers, Mandalorians (Perhaps the Covert?), Imperial Officers and Pirates (Perhaps members of Gorian Shard's crew) would certainly be no brainers.
    I also think an all new Battle Droid sculpt would be ideal for this. They could start with a Jedi Survivor deco and then just re-release the new sculpt. Maybe make a new Super Battle Droid and perhaps the Tactical Droid and BX-Commando Droids as they have yet to receive a TVC figure especially since the latter also would function for Jedi Survivor displays.
    There will also likely be more Clone repaints to go along with the 212th which should have come with an updated Airborne Trooper. It's cool a Clone Wars character like Waxer is coming out but not something you can army build easily without customising it first. They could maybe do the Kashyyyk Troopers again.
    I also wouldn't be surprised if an all 50st and all Shock Trooper set comes out to coincide with Mandalorian Season 3. Not sure who you could put as a pack in for those though. They'd probably just put Rex again in the 501st one but it'd be cool to get a named character like Dogma or Appo but like with the Waxer it's again hard to army build. Maybe put a Commander Thire or Fox in the Shock Trooper pack. A real good one but probably unlikely would be Bacara and an all new Galactic Marine.
    There's a lot of endless possibilities with these packs and hopefully they'll continue to put out really good ones. The one thing to work on I guess is add the accessories but also find a way to put in a Commander character so to speak that you could army build more of and not just need one but I imagine that's difficult especially when sometimes a specific character is needed for the set but hopefully they find a solution to these issues and I think videos like these are helpful in letting them know.
    Anyway I think that's it for now but knowing me I've forgotten some stuff. Looking forward to the next video.

    • @ToysAreTheWay
      @ToysAreTheWay  Год назад +2

      Totally! Lots of fantastic/endless possibilities for these packs. I agree it’s something that we would have liked to see sooner, but on the flip side some of our troopers have finally reached a definitive status.
      I do like seeing commanders added to these sets, but it’s also frustrating if you buy say 5 of these sets, but don’t really want 5 Commander Thire. Having a figure that has a removable accessory and can be turned into a “grunt” is best.
      I can’t wait for a new perfect battle droid! That’s going to be a wonderful army builder, and much needed. ✌️😃😃😃✌️
