Anything that has a "Toys R Us" sticker on it. Everyone I've ever seen gets so over inflated. I've only got one at a great price and that the F.O. snowtrooper commander for $10
Stormtrooper, they just add a little paint and don't change the mold at all giving the same accessories every time. It feels like I'm just buying the same figure
@2manynegativewaves yeah the carbonized ain't all bad the Mando definatley is the best looking one. That carbonized sith trooper looked better than the original I thought too!
IMO The Imperial Stormtrooper is the single most overrated figure. Army building Imperials is important to me, and for such a staple figure, his joints get loose easily, his articulation is limited in places, the helmet's likeness is only so-so, mine barely holds his weapons, and his scrawny stance is anything but intimidating. The clone mold and even the First Order mold (which initially had poor elbows but they fixed) are better sculpts, and I'm excited for The Mandolorian mold in September.
Yes finally someone gets me The stormtrooper was just kind of disappointing to me,the legs would barely move up,the shoulders were so big for no reason,but my biggest concern is that I cant put the stormtrooper in any position without it looking uncomfortable,something just feels off about the figure at first I thought It was the double jointed elbows but the scout trooper has double jointed elbows and I loved that figure idk man it was just plain disappointing
Why don't you army-build with 12" Rogue One Stormtroopers then? I have whole squadrons of Phase 1 Clone Troopers, Imperial Stormtroopers and 1st Order Stormtroopers with those. They are much cheaper, they have a nice sculpt and you get "more figure" out of them.
To all those saying cody is overrated, it is purely because everyone wants the clone commanders that are well known from clone wars and the movies. The re-release will be very popular and I expect hard to find in my country which doesn't historically get all the black series figures. We usually miss out if a figure is popular. I paid about 60 usd for cody a year ago, or more accurately my son paid with his xmas and bday money. If they released more clone commanders and squads they would make a fortune in sales if they made sure to keep up supply. Also more jedi please hasbro. Maybe a 6inch scale rancor beast is asking too much though?
I'm new to Black Series, so I was happy all the Rebels got rereleased. I have half the cast in the new boxes with the other half on their way. I would never pay above retail for Ezra, though.
It's a good figure, but there is NO WAY that the Mandalorian is NOT the most overrated Black Series, maybe even figure, of all time. Not only do all Black Series collectors have to have him, all action figures in general and Mando bandwagoners feel that it is their duty to backorder him into the next decade. Here's to trying to get the beskar armored Mando before customers cause Amazon to crash 👍
The amazing thing is Hasbro learned nothing from how that was the hardest one to find by a mile in that wave and made the Beskar armor version 1x case again.
@@forrestpenrod2294 That's what I replaced it with. Had no idea it was going for such a high price now. Used to be so easy to find at Gamestop just last year. The SH Figuarts one is miles better in every way.
@@sherlock5720 probably from scalpers... they buy a whole bunch of the same figure making them limited to us...thus selling them higher to make up for the bulk buy they bought and our needs of wanting that figure.. just like Mando..I still don't have him.
I'd agree with you on White Box Mandalorian. The fact that the white box is over $150 more than the black box and nothing inside is different is crazy. The whole first edition wave is the ultimate cash grab from hasbro as all they have to do is change the base color of the box, but none of the rest are even close to what mando is going for.
Whatever Trever they cost to much for what you get and most can't remove there helmets. Gree definitely should have been able to remove his helmet to show off he's double mohawk
Also I have the white box Mando, still in the box. I got him on force Friday along with the black box one to open, the Carbonized mando, Carbonized second sister and Commander Fox. However, I can't bring myself to sell the white box........ To me it's really cool and special that I actually found it, it's like a little trophy in a way. Plus I would honestly just feel bad selling it, not only cause I was so happy and surprised to find it, but I wouldn't wanna make anyone pay upwards of $200 for it...
Tripple Zero and Aphra really need to be reissued. The prices they go for are insane, especially with 0-0-0 being a repaint C-3PO with some extra plastic on his fingers
Anything clone trooper related is overrated, IMO. Particularly Commander Cody! I was astounded how he won the archive collection fan vote and by such a large margin. I just don't get the appeal of him. We definitely need an updated face print of Princess Leia and Obi wan Kenobi from episode 4. Greedo would have been a great choice for a repack too.
Saw Baby Yoda in Target recently, and could not believe how tiny it was. Including his floating car seat or a second figure in a different pose are the only things that could’ve made it worth $10 IMO.
Wow I'm surprised Cody is number one, with how many people are wanting him, including me lol I'm really happy he won the fan vote and I can get him for retail price next year!! Also in my opinion the MOST overrated figure is hands down Boba Fett. He was the first black series figure I ever got, my mom got him for me for Christmas before I even knew it existed back when the line just started, so to me he holds a very special place in my heart. However, I cannot deny that he is way overdue for an update, and I'm really hoping they do something for his with the upcoming 40th anniversary of RoTJ, or even just sometime in the near future since they're already making new figure for that movie!! Fingers crossed!
I find that with a few exceptions, these are mostly overrated due to their release in very limited waves (like Ezra and Mace). But the ones that stand out for me are General Grevious: he looks great but just CAN NOT stand up, and Ahsoka: gummy knees and small feet make her hard to stand, gummy lightsaber hilts warp her lightsabers, and paint apps that are just a bit MEH. I think the upcoming re-release will be a vast improvement.
This is a common occurence around vehicle toys from the 80s that had rubber tires and similar (it's very hard to find some tank toys without broken treads). You can mitigate it by flexing the rubber now and then to help keep it from 'setting up'. Play with your toys!
IG-88 will never be as iconic of a character as IG-11. All IG-88 did was “stand there” in episode 5, whereas IG-11 was portrayed in full, 360° lethal badass mode in The Mandalorian.
I took a six inch Wedge out of the box. It showed how awful the black series figures are. The scupting gets in the way of the joints. The figure does not stand on it's own. One foot looks like it's going to snap off at the ankle. Give the figures a little less detailing for wrinkled clothing so joints can line up better in various poses, and move unrestricted and the figures over all will be better. You can learn a lot from 80s GI Joe figures.
I agree with Cody being #1. I dislike that he won the fan poll since he's a dated figure, when we could have had a figure who desperately needed a better face, like RotS Obi-Wan. Oh well, I'm sure he'll come again.
I have to go with the Amazon exclusive Emperor. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great figure, cool accessories and throne but the current amount on eBay at almost $200 isn’t worth it in my opinion.
I'm kicking myself for not grabbing that when it was $40. I was looking into starting collecting last year, then got a second sister for Christmas, but I passed on Palpatine.
@@TimJude72 I remember I was actually cancelling preorders for a lot of figures since I was trying to cut back on my toy budget. Somehow, I totally forgot to cancel this guy and Amazon charged me before I even realized he was coming out. Looking at what he's going for now, I'm soooo glad that happened.
Disagree with Mace but agree with pretty much the rest of the list. Especially Cody. It's good he's getting an Archive release but he is objectively mediocre. The head seems too small, it sits too high on the neck, he has molded battle damage but no battle wear paint, the knee joints are insanely soft/gummy, the elbow articulation is just okay and he didn't come with the hologram which 3.75" version have come with.
I avoid buying any 6" SW figures if they're over $25 after shipping and tax on the 2nd market. And I've been very lucky. Patience and always looking pays off. I almost have all the troopers I want for my Vader and Imperial trooper display.
Ahsoka tano. I missed the wave when it first came out and can't justify paying scalper prices. I've pre ordered the entire rebels wave though so no chance missing out this time.
@@Nerdzoic thanks for the reply. I just recently found ur channel and I love ur lists. I'm a huge fan of the black series and marvel legends toys. I'm hoping it's not a fake either. Fingers crossed
That’s a cool collection line. Yeah it’s so difficult to decide. It’s taken me many years to narrow down my focus and of course the $$. Thank you for watching.
I think you nailed it with this list!! I agree, the Child seems to be a bit small. its like they made him to a scale that worked with the packaging. Like your other honorable mentions I would add this: ALL female characters, and for one reason. None of them stand up easily! Every single one of them, its very hard to get them balanced correctly. I ended up using earthquake putty to keep them up. I agree with the R2 Comments - He's out of scale. I actually kept mine in the Box and I have the Disney Elite Series out on Display, its more more accurate in scale, its actually a hair big, but far better than the Black Series R2! The same thing applies to all of the Astromech units, they are all small. I think like the Child, it has to do with packaging, they made them a hair small so they would fit in the standard box.
Boba Fett is good but I've bought and sold that one twice with both first release and archive. Reason being I have the Mafex Fett (Amazon had it really cheap a couple of years ago). My only ONLY gripe with Mafex Fett is no foot pegs. He stands fine and I hate that elaborate crane stand Mafex gives him. I prefer peg holed feet. Other than that Mafex Fett is 100% a scaled replica of Jeremy Bullock in the Boba Fett costume as he was filming the movie. It's amazing
I have all of these mostly for retail except for Escape Luke (Skipped because boring head on a basic stormtrooper) and First Release Mando (I got the regular release). I also paid after market price for a loose but complete Maul. But all the rest (including the specific community picks) I got for retail so.. can't relate to this list.
Most overrated as far as price for what you get? R2-D2 and Han Solo in carbonite. The retail for Han was fair, the aftermarket is stupid and R2-D2 rarely drops below $30 even loose. Others that are highly overpriced are ROTJ Luke (not Wal Mart) and ROTS Obi Wan. Horrible facial sculpts. Figuarts made the best ROTJ Luke. I have the Wal Mart one but just pose it with the robe on. Black Series Anakin is also awful compared to Figuarts.
I think quite a few figs its based on their rarity..I havnt even seen most of these figures and even when I did when they were gone I never seen them again
Lol. Before even the Archive series one came out, I remember seeing that Maul was going for like $100 on eBay, while the Figuarts was on sale at Amazon for around $50, so I ended up just getting the Figuarts, which worked for me because I think the Figuarts is vastly better.
@@SymbiSpidey Done the same with R2D2. Was shopping around for the one with all the accessories, cheapest was about £60 on the new hope card. In the end I got the Figuarts for £45. And its bloody awesome and more in scale. 🙂
I think Ig-88 is the worst figure in the line... which pains me to say since I personally like him over Jango (fat, legs can only maintain one pose) but objectively... yeah
I wanted Captain Rex, he's on Amazon for £110 which is where he will stay. The only figures I've paid more than face value for are K-2SO (for some reason he's been going for £30-£40) and Old Obi Wan/Ben (£39), this one was second hand with box but a few days later a SDCC Obi Wan went up for sale with a unopened but damaged box for less than I paid for just the figure. That was dissapointing.
@@-Anonymous-. I had a look at the website and I didn't spot it. I think it's a US only store so not somewhere I can get to living in the UK but thank you. Next time I'm out in the US I'll have find one to have a look in.
IMO I think K2-SO is pretty overrated. Not talking about price but he’s so top heavy. I have more problems standing him up straight then I do General Grevious.
My top 5 for this category 😂 ( mine is based off figures I don’t think are good. But everyone thinks they are.) 1. Boba Fett ( ok but not fantastic.) 2. Bossk ( bad articulation.) 3. Ig-88 ( can’t stand.) 4. Darth Reven ( bad articulation.) 5. Asoka ( old version.)
Ezra’s value is right up there because that wave got cut short and made it impossible to find. I know I paid thru the nose for him 😢 But the more Hasbro keeps doing exclusives, the more we’re going to see figures going for stupid money. BTW - Grievous. Get the Bandai kit (just ditch the even worse cloak)
That's a reason why I stopped collecting star wars figures,one,the high prices on secondary market and hasbro lack of freaking common sense in distribution....Keep the great work!
Ahsokas price went up when we found out she is making an appearance on the mandalorian. Cool but not justifiable bought a Sabine instead, then watched the price on that go up on Amazon from $18 to whatever it is now???
You want a clothed robe for Maul ... did you forget the Mace robe - and every other clothed accessory in this line? It just doesnt work with the material they are using and the finish is not that great either.
Why Boba Fett is overrated: If Hasbro could make their Sandtrooper look better than Kotobukiya, why couldn't they make the Boba Fett better than Kotobukiya? I have both, and Hasbro's version of Boba Fett is clearly inferior to Kotobukiya. Yet Hasbro re released him again and again with MINOR changes. Not to mention not a single Return of The Jedi Version of him, simply to to take advantage of the character's popularity. Yet somehow, he's still hard to find.
I skipped out on Cody when I saw him in a Walgreens back in the day. I thought about it, and sure he looked cool, but clones and troopers are my thing and he just didn't look all that great in my opinion. Firstly, he had the sloppy paint application of the early black series figures. I could nitpick every little thing about him, too. His neck looked too long, his helmet sculpt looked off (maybe because of the paint), the color of orange was off, he didn't have any of the carbon scoring he did in the movie (and like the 3.75 inch version did), he didn't have much battle damage, the shoulder and elbow articulation was weak, he had no removable helmet or extra head, the belt was painted wrong (the orange carries over too far to the side), the hip articulation was meh, and he didn't come with his communicator or Kenobi's lightsaber or both. TBH I don't even remember if he came with his jetpack, but I think he did. I hope Hasbro vastly improves upon this guy for the archive release. Now if they did all of this stuff that'd be superb, but some better paint and new heads would be good enough for me. I agree the old figure is overrated.
I own these but my list. The gamestop with game purge trooper. (High price). IG 88. (Don't stand well). All the B1 battle droids. (Don't stand well). All phase 1 clones. (High price). Shadow guard. (High price). Shadow trooper 2 pack. (High price). Side note. The exclusive ones like Walgreens clone officer. Gamestop purge trooper. Wal-Mart clone wars mando figures. I hate that because as person who works for a living, it is really hard to get ones I want because of a lot of reasons. 4 main reasons. Preorders already full. Store it's at not in my area. Don't find out till after. To high priced. Thank you to everyone for there time be safe out there.
How right were you about re-releasing the "little gremlin, with his car seat". I picked up the figuart one to go with their IG-11, so I will skip the re-release. Thankfully.
Darth maul was a badass figure. I purchased the rerelease for retail price and it’s great. I prefer the plastic cloak even if it can’t pose as much just because it isn’t a dust magnet.
I don’t agree that the clones are overrated, but I think they are all insanely overpriced considering the fact that so many people hate the prequels. That hurts me because I pretty much only collect clones and since their all overpriced, they are extra difficult to get.
What about commander wolffe not saying it's a bad figure but I've seen him priced for the same as commander cody plus never even seen wolffe on the 2nd market
over a year later and I was able to pick up many of these at retail price. mace, maul, ahsoka I picked up in the past year for $20-25 each. I do agree with the poll on the empire boba fett figure, those front pockets really hinder leg articulation and the fact that his right wrist has a back and forth hinge instead of an up and down one makes it harder for him to hold his blaster right. thankfully the deluxe return of the jedi boba fett fixed all that and is an amazing figure. also a lot of these can be nabbed at bigbadtoystore for retail price now.
I agree on the boba fett one. The sculpt itself looks amazing, but like the weird thigh connector joints he has plus the belt restricting movement just destroyed the figure. I hope they improve on that.

Clones! People put way to much stock in them and the secondary market is ridiculously overpriced.
Anything that has a "Toys R Us" sticker on it. Everyone I've ever seen gets so over inflated. I've only got one at a great price and that the F.O. snowtrooper commander for $10
I personally do not care for any Luke Skywalker figure so all of them!😂😂😂
Stormtrooper, they just add a little paint and don't change the mold at all giving the same accessories every time. It feels like I'm just buying the same figure
Revan, either one
The most ovverated in my opinion is the entire carbonized line lol.
You and many others my friend lol
How can they be overrated when a lot of people don't like them? That's literally the antithesis of overrated.
@@eoinklein3721 yeah but alot of people also LOVE them. The carbonized boba apparently Is going for alot rn. There just overrated to me
first editions
@2manynegativewaves yeah the carbonized ain't all bad the Mando definatley is the best looking one. That carbonized sith trooper looked better than the original I thought too!
Black series mace is MUCH better then the S.H
I agree
I agree, the SH is the actual overrated one jajaja.
IMO The Imperial Stormtrooper is the single most overrated figure. Army building Imperials is important to me, and for such a staple figure, his joints get loose easily, his articulation is limited in places, the helmet's likeness is only so-so, mine barely holds his weapons, and his scrawny stance is anything but intimidating.

Gonna be controversial but I’m going with The Mandalorian. It’s a decent figure but not fantastic nor worth the scalper price
Agreed, it's so popular the scalpers probably aren't even star wars fans lol
Something about the helmet and legs to me look off on him, and having a plastic cape and not a soft cloth one is just insulting
There is a star wars specialty store near me that sells the Ezra for 110 dollars claiming "it's hard to find". What a flipping rip off.
They aren’t wrong actually, but it is absolutely a ripoff, and it won’t be worth that much longer.
I'm new to Black Series, so I was happy all the Rebels got rereleased. I have half the cast in the new boxes with the other half on their way. I would never pay above retail for Ezra, though.

That is amazing!
I'm surprised you didnt put Anakin Skywalker. I cant find him anywhere and hes so expensive.

My IG 88 rubber joints have hardened and cracked. Rubber is a bad choice. Who knew toys can expire.
Disappointing!

At least the look still works. That’s why Star Wars is great, it’s a lived-in universe!
My IG-88 stands perfectly but my IG-11 is impossible, I think it all depends on your fate... ha
Mace’s robe works much better on Anakin/ Vader because his hair helps support the hood.
IG-88 will never be as iconic of a character as IG-11. All IG-88 did was “stand there” in episode 5, whereas IG-11 was portrayed in full, 360° lethal badass mode in The Mandalorian.

That’s a cool collection line. Yeah it’s so difficult to decide. It’s taken me many years to narrow down my focus and of course the $$. Thank you for watching.
I think you nailed it with this list!! I agree, the Child seems to be a bit small. its like they made him to a scale that worked with the packaging.
Like your other honorable mentions I would add this: ALL female characters, and for one reason. None of them stand up easily! Every single one of them, its very hard to get them balanced correctly. I ended up using earthquake putty to keep them up.
I agree with the R2 Comments - He's out of scale. I actually kept mine in the Box and I have the Disney Elite Series out on Display, its more more accurate in scale, its actually a hair big, but far better than the Black Series R2! The same thing applies to all of the Astromech units, they are all small. I think like the Child, it has to do with packaging, they made them a hair small so they would fit in the standard box.
Thank you!
He wrote Ashoka Tanu 🤣🤣🤣 5:15
just testing spellcheck 😇
Also, I kind of agree with the carbonized figures, the clone troopers, and Commander Cody. But I still like them...and I will still buy them.
It’s the curse of the collector
Yeah. You’re right about the child. He’s so tiny even for scale so I was a little disappointed with this one.
Right on
you mean there are people who's rating it high to begin with to be considered over-rated?
Darth Maul. Go to eBay and look up cloth cape for Darth Maul. It's not expensive, and it totally fixes Darth Maul.
That’s a great idea!
In my opinion the SDCC Jabba The Hut is way overpriced. I agree it’s great but not worth $250 - $430 US dollars.
7:12 Says all clones but has pictures of Stormtroopers too
Hate it or love it I'm still keeping my boba fett, Jango Fett & Mandalorian.
Me tooooooo
Boba Fett is good but I've bought and sold that one twice with both first release and archive. Reason being I have the Mafex Fett (Amazon had it really cheap a couple of years ago). My only ONLY gripe with Mafex Fett is no foot pegs. He stands fine and I hate that elaborate crane stand Mafex gives him. I prefer peg holed feet. Other than that Mafex Fett is 100% a scaled replica of Jeremy Bullock in the Boba Fett costume as he was filming the movie. It's amazing
That MAFEX looks incredible
I have all of these mostly for retail except for Escape Luke (Skipped because boring head on a basic stormtrooper) and First Release Mando (I got the regular release). I also paid after market price for a loose but complete Maul. But all the rest (including the specific community picks) I got for retail so.. can't relate to this list.
Good skip on like though
And now you pick up an Archive Cody for less money than it costs to get a iced venti mocha from Starbucks.
If your going to complain about a beloved character like Ahsoka Tano at least spell her name properly.
Most overrated as far as price for what you get? R2-D2 and Han Solo in carbonite. The retail for Han was fair, the aftermarket is stupid and R2-D2 rarely drops below $30 even loose. Others that are highly overpriced are ROTJ Luke (not Wal Mart) and ROTS Obi Wan. Horrible facial sculpts. Figuarts made the best ROTJ Luke. I have the Wal Mart one but just pose it with the robe on. Black Series Anakin is also awful compared to Figuarts.
The child is my favorite black series figure 😂
Edit: actually 3rd my 1st and 2nd are Ahsoka (rebels) and Ahsoka (clone wars)
Nice! I don’t hate him I just think he is an accessory, not a figure if that makes sense
@@Nerdzoic yes I see. Did you like the new mando build up pack?
I think the carbonised line looks horrible and is a desperate attempt to sell worse looking versions of generally good looking figures
Many fee that way
I think quite a few figs its based on their rarity..I havnt even seen most of these figures and even when I did when they were gone I never seen them again
Captain Rex. Especially after the clone wars
agreed
Hate the Maul figure so much I splashed out on the SH Figuarts.
As for the sabre, it looks like he's holding a child's toy!
How is the figure arts??
@@Nerdzoic A bit pricey but really awesome.
I love black series but for certain characters I have opted for the Figuarts.
Lol. Before even the Archive series one came out, I remember seeing that Maul was going for like $100 on eBay, while the Figuarts was on sale at Amazon for around $50, so I ended up just getting the Figuarts, which worked for me because I think the Figuarts is vastly better.
@@SymbiSpidey Done the same with R2D2.
Was shopping around for the one with all the accessories, cheapest was about £60 on the new hope card.
In the end I got the Figuarts for £45. And its bloody awesome and more in scale. 🙂
Figuarts also has the best ROTJ Luke and ROTS Anakin
In the Philippines, you can get Cody in groups at around 40-60 dollars. It's crazy expensive abroad
I think Ig-88 is the worst figure in the line... which pains me to say since I personally like him over Jango (fat, legs can only maintain one pose) but objectively... yeah
I wanted Captain Rex, he's on Amazon for £110 which is where he will stay.
The only figures I've paid more than face value for are K-2SO (for some reason he's been going for £30-£40) and Old Obi Wan/Ben (£39), this one was second hand with box but a few days later a SDCC Obi Wan went up for sale with a unopened but damaged box for less than I paid for just the figure. That was dissapointing.
That stinks
You can find Rex at 5 Below still
@@-Anonymous-. I had a look at the website and I didn't spot it. I think it's a US only store so not somewhere I can get to living in the UK but thank you. Next time I'm out in the US I'll have find one to have a look in.
IMO I think K2-SO is pretty overrated. Not talking about price but he’s so top heavy. I have more problems standing him up straight then I do General Grevious.
I didn’t think of that but it is a really good call
I don't have a big collection (started during lockdown) but he's my 2nd most expensive purchase ( about £30)
i too think white box mandoria is overrated (9:16 list)
Big time
Praying they re-release ig-88 cause i got one that was out of box and it didn’t come with his long blaster, and he can’t stand 😢
I hope so too
You have to give him a split-leg action pose and after some fiddling, he looks great.
My top 5 for this category 😂 ( mine is based off figures I don’t think are good. But everyone thinks they are.)
1. Boba Fett ( ok but not fantastic.)
2. Bossk ( bad articulation.)
3. Ig-88 ( can’t stand.)
4. Darth Reven ( bad articulation.)
5. Asoka ( old version.)
Poor Bossk lol
@Nerdzoic lol
great video as always! thats funny, that ragged on both 0-0-0 and Death Star Escape Luke in my newest vid as well
Thanks!
I just don't get it why cody so expensive ? Here In my country we have a lot of them, the price here is only 40$ new in the box
Wow that’s crazy cheap compared to here
Ezra’s value is right up there because that wave got cut short and made it impossible to find. I know I paid thru the nose for him 😢
But the more Hasbro keeps doing exclusives, the more we’re going to see figures going for stupid money.
BTW - Grievous. Get the Bandai kit (just ditch the even worse cloak)
Thanks for watching!
That's a reason why I stopped collecting star wars figures,one,the high prices on secondary market and hasbro lack of freaking common sense in distribution....Keep the great work!
Thank you
My wife is telling me this is a waste of money.
Random thought for another BS list vid: Figures that desperately need an update.
Top of that list needs to be Farm Boy Luke and A New Hope Leia!
Love that idea! I will def add it to my list!
Ahsokas price went up when we found out she is making an appearance on the mandalorian. Cool but not justifiable bought a Sabine instead, then watched the price on that go up on Amazon from $18 to whatever it is now???
Speaking of Mando good thing I got my hands on a Carbonized Black Series before it sold out at my local Walmart
I wonder what it was doing at a Walmart, its a target exclusive. Either way Lucky you!
You want a clothed robe for Maul ... did you forget the Mace robe - and every other clothed accessory in this line? It just doesnt work with the material they are using and the finish is not that great either.
I’ve seen some awesome customs
@@Nerdzoic True that, fans can make it, but it shouldn't have to be that way
Revan figures are beautiful but I agree, the hype surrounding his name automatically adds some $$$.
Darth nihilus is going be even more expensive probably.
Can’t wait for death Nihilus
Hoping we get some more KOTOR characters. I'd kill for an HK-47 (and he'd probably approve of it too).
Why Boba Fett is overrated:
If Hasbro could make their Sandtrooper look better than Kotobukiya, why couldn't they make the Boba Fett better than Kotobukiya? I have both, and Hasbro's version of Boba Fett is clearly inferior to Kotobukiya. Yet Hasbro re released him again and again with MINOR changes. Not to mention not a single Return of The Jedi Version of him, simply to to take advantage of the character's popularity. Yet somehow, he's still hard to find.
People love Boba
I skipped out on Cody when I saw him in a Walgreens back in the day. I thought about it, and sure he looked cool, but clones and troopers are my thing and he just didn't look all that great in my opinion. Firstly, he had the sloppy paint application of the early black series figures. I could nitpick every little thing about him, too. His neck looked too long, his helmet sculpt looked off (maybe because of the paint), the color of orange was off, he didn't have any of the carbon scoring he did in the movie (and like the 3.75 inch version did), he didn't have much battle damage, the shoulder and elbow articulation was weak, he had no removable helmet or extra head, the belt was painted wrong (the orange carries over too far to the side), the hip articulation was meh, and he didn't come with his communicator or Kenobi's lightsaber or both. TBH I don't even remember if he came with his jetpack, but I think he did. I hope Hasbro vastly improves upon this guy for the archive release. Now if they did all of this stuff that'd be superb, but some better paint and new heads would be good enough for me. I agree the old figure is overrated.
I own these but my list.
The gamestop with game purge trooper. (High price).
IG 88. (Don't stand well).
All the B1 battle droids. (Don't stand well).
All phase 1 clones. (High price).
Shadow guard. (High price).
Shadow trooper 2 pack. (High price).
Side note. The exclusive ones like Walgreens clone officer.
Gamestop purge trooper.
Wal-Mart clone wars mando figures.
I hate that because as person who works for a living, it is really hard to get ones I want because of a lot of reasons. 4 main reasons.
Preorders already full.
Store it's at not in my area.
Don't find out till after.
To high priced.
Thank you to everyone for there time be safe out there.
How right were you about re-releasing the "little gremlin, with his car seat". I picked up the figuart one to go with their IG-11, so I will skip the re-release. Thankfully.
Darth maul was a badass figure. I purchased the rerelease for retail price and it’s great. I prefer the plastic cloak even if it can’t pose as much just because it isn’t a dust magnet.
I'd love some cloth goods on that guy
I don’t agree that the clones are overrated, but I think they are all insanely overpriced considering the fact that so many people hate the prequels. That hurts me because I pretty much only collect clones and since their all overpriced, they are extra difficult to get.
The only figure I'm missing out of 112 Black series is Ezra I just refuse to pay that price. I think the most I've ever paid for a figure is Qui- gon.
Rerelease is coming soon hang tough!
No reason for carbonized figures other than maybe mandolorian for shiny armor but I think obi wan clone suit is overrated
I guess I was lucky, I got Cody here in the Philippines for only Php 1400 w shipping(Below SRP).
Nice!
General Grievous? Really?! His scale is off sure but he is fantastic. Only gripe is his hands don’t rotate like in the movie
I mean, we all knew Commander Cody was gonna be number 1. That's my vote for sure.
I was really surprised
I spent like $50 on Ahsoka about a week before the re-release was announced. I now refer to that scenario as being "Ahsoka’d"
Ouch!
What about commander wolffe not saying it's a bad figure but I've seen him priced for the same as commander cody plus never even seen wolffe on the 2nd market
My IG-88 fig stands up just fine next to my other bounty hunters. Maybe I got lucky.
Possibly.
I wish I could just have a singular stormtrooper but it has to be overpriced
I feel ya
over a year later and I was able to pick up many of these at retail price. mace, maul, ahsoka I picked up in the past year for $20-25 each. I do agree with the poll on the empire boba fett figure, those front pockets really hinder leg articulation and the fact that his right wrist has a back and forth hinge instead of an up and down one makes it harder for him to hold his blaster right. thankfully the deluxe return of the jedi boba fett fixed all that and is an amazing figure. also a lot of these can be nabbed at bigbadtoystore for retail price now.
Mace Windu is literally my favo figure.
To each his own. I like him, but WAY better overhyped
(Smiling): Not overrated but the most overused AND misused word is “literally“.
I agree on the boba fett one. The sculpt itself looks amazing, but like the weird thigh connector joints he has plus the belt restricting movement just destroyed the figure. I hope they improve on that.
I’d have to say the different colored box figures. I find it crazy that people care so much about what color box a figure came in.
Never realised how bad the black series maul is until I got the figuarts version
I was actually considering picking that up and doing a comparison video.
Nerdzoic would love to see your take on it man! For me the shf version is the best!
Beskar Mando is gonna be overrated. Unless people realize it’s mediocre.
I’m still excited for him just cause I love the show
Nerdzoic same I am too. I just wish they’d given the Beskar more shine. I’m sure alongside season 2 Hasbro will release a Carbonized Beskar 😂
I still think that the Child is the worst Black Series figure
And, yeah. $10 for Baby Yoda is too much. Triple Zero is dope, though. I paid $60 for him. Lol
Lol I can’t do it.
What edition was that boba feet ? Name editions please
it was the carbonized version
