The figures themselves look great. But i find it absolutely incredible that after 2+ years of feedback from collectors regarding the cardbacks in the retro collection that Hasbro continue to ignore repeated requests to modify them! Not only do they still insisit in covering up the image with the retro sticker and putting that fake weathering on the edges, they've even taken a step backwards from the previous ESB retro line buy putting the bloody leaflet BEHIND the figure again!!! I'm almost tempted just to open my figures now since they look rubbish displayed on those cards as they stand! Anyway, apologies for the rant! Great review as always Tim and congrats on being first to showcase them on youtube!!! :)
I feel your pain. With my ESB retro figures I made a small slit in the bubble with a blade and pulled the leaflets out with tweezers. I removed the shitty retro stickers and then blacked out the distressed marks with a black marker. End result was nice.
The Greef Karga gun actually does fit the holster. It is molded to fit it quite snuggly and it looks great in the holster. Try it again. Wish more figures had holsters like this. Thanks for all the great videos.
Great review! This is my favourite Retro wave so far and, not surprisingly, the only one which I REALLY want to open. Prefer these to slightly shrunken reproductions of existing vintage figures. Grew up with the original Kenner figures, so these new characters in that style are nostalgic gold to me. 👍🏻
You can open the figures and have them able to close easily going from the bottom where the plastic meets the cardboard and go around on two sides then can take it out and put it back in. I grew up on the 90s figures so that’s my jam the most. These are cool for show.
As an original figures collector and growing up with them as a kid I love these new releases. The VC collection for me felt kinda meh when they first brought them, even though it was a step up from the hasbro/disney ones and I have to admit they did step up with the VC collection the last couple of years. Thanks for doing these aswell and I do agree the fake wear on the cards was not needed.
Great job!! He’s right the IG-11 & Kuiil cardbacks are probably the ones we will get in TVC. Also the baby Yoda retro Collection is accurately scaled for the retro theme. If it was really released back in those days they would have never packed in such a small figurine that’s targeted for children. Modern day collectors expect more accuracy in terms of detail and scaling. Thinking retro wise they hit the nail on the head with this one.
Can’t wait to get these in hand and love this line. The figures really look great and will stand right next to the other retro collection figures. The only problem is, there isn’t a ROTJ retro collection wave to fill the gap between the ESB wave 2 and this Mando wave 3. Hopefully we don’t have to wait another year to find out.
Very good review Tim Thanks for opening them and giving a review I can't wait to get mine. He'll probably get a lot of you since I think you're one of the first and I hope you do get a lot of reviews good luck and keep the great reviews coming. Love your content
Mine are in the way... I'm looking forward to racking them up on the wall together with TVC and carbonized.... it'll be 3 in a row in most cases! 😉👌🏼 P.S indeed the size of the child is interesting!
Great review Bossk. Mine arrived today, I love them.. I'm primarily a vintage collector and they fit right in with my vintage stuff.. hope we get Bo Katan and other Mando retro figures in the future.
Those figures look amazing!!! I’ve never seen them in stores, nor have I seen Mandalorian, but when I find the time I’ll probably add some of them to my collection. But, even though they were able to mimic the look and quality of the Kenner style perfectly, I say Hasbro should’ve gone the extra/full mile and give the figures completely random weapons. Like; Mando has either a rebel/smuggler blaster or a Jabba’s palace blaster and an AT-AT driver rifle. Kuill has an imperial blaster. Cara has a rebel/smuggler blaster and a Hoth Luke sling rifle. Moff Gideon still keeps his dark saber but comes with a tie fighter pilot blaster. Greek Kargo has a bespin blaster. And IG-11 and the child keep their accessories as they are. These are all what I would personally give each figure, for those of you who are vintage toy people, what would you give each figure?
Man! Thanks so much for this video, I’m pretty much sold. I’ll be tearing these off the card! Haha Retro Mando looks great! I love the vintage style colouring for each character, they really pop. Cheers Bossk!
Congrats on getting those already!! I preordered these from Hasbro Pulse the day it was announced and I probably wont receive them until 2 months or later after their release date for some pathetic reason. I'm questioning the value of "preordering" anymore......
Great review! The figures really do look great! The vinyl capes are golden! If only Hasbro did away with the “retro” sticker, paper insert, faux card damage, and the additional plastic behind the figure... Could you imagine these figures lose in the bubble or propped up with that small bit of colored card stock between the legs and the weapons taped to the blister wall on pristine card backs! That would absolutely take me back in time! 😌😌😌
When Hasbro eventually gets around to doing a Retro ROTJ line, who do you think the "new" figure will be? If the choice is between a re-release one of the Ewok board games (Wicket the Ewok or Ewoks Save the Trees) with a Retro Leia in her Endor gown packed in....or the Battle at the Sarlaac Pit game with one of Jabba's goons...which would you rather see?
Great review. The figures look awesome, but the papers behind them is such an eyesore! And if they're gonna keep the scuff marks on the edges, they could at least not have them be identical (they were identical on the ANH cards but unique on the ESB wave).
They look pretty good. My pre order ships in May. It's nice to get a look at them. I ordered a case. 1 of each except for the Mandalorian. There's 2 of them in the case. Odd that the retro child is so much bigger than the others though. I have my 3.75 inch Mando with the 2.5 inch child. It looks pretty good I think. Keep up the good work .👍
Great review 👍👌 In regard to the size of the Child, I assume they followed the Kenner approach to very small characters like Salacious Crumb, 'make them massive'!
I appreciate these figures and what hasbro are doing with the line , and they do look great btw . I just havnt collected any of them . Great review Tim , cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
The Child cardback is crazy. All that was needed was just the pram and figure not a piece of the ground. Too much bubble and more likely be damaged and all could have been squeezed into one bubble I think
Glad to see some open and on display. They all do look terrific But I still can't get over how long Mando's cape is. Will definitely be getting the full set. Nice video as ever Tim. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Good to see these in hand Tim. Shame that the ig11 is slightly less detailed than ig88. U would think new means better. Cool line up of figures. Enjoyed the review 👍
1st to review these in the world me thinks Mr Bossk... bravo sir 👏 for the first time ever I ordered an extra set with a view to one set staying sealed in the shipper box. Am I being daft for this particular range or is this a good thing? Can’t quite make my mind up 🤔 awesome review as always Tim
Great looking figures once in hand I would say. Like u I wasn’t entirely sold on kuill’s (spelled right?) paint scheme but want to get them all anyways. I only would’ve liked to see an original vintage Yoda next to the new Gogru just for size comparison.
They look brilliant! I have no problem of them making these into the retro line, don't think I could be lucky enough to get 2 sets but it would be great if I do, as I would like a lose set. Thanks for sharing Bossk. Cheers🍻👍🏻
I was of the thinking that the Retro collection should be just for the original vintage figures and I wasn't going to buy them. Then the whole situation came about with Gina Carano and her figure being cancelled except the Retro collection version, so I decided to get the set just for her figure as I didn't have a 3.75" version of her. Now I have four 3.75" Cara Dune figures. Seeing them on your review I do quite like them.
I thought these were marked for May 1st? It's still too early for these to be out yet. I rather wait till may hits because I'll be 17 here soon on my birthday. & I really want to get these characters. I've watched the show both seasons 1 & 2 back when I had Disney plus. Now I'm just waiting to hit the market to see these & pick them up. I'm not too keen on Baby Yoda unless I have Mandolorian. I have 3 boba fetts. I customized one of them into a different mandalorian. I want to do another one real soon. With lighter paint scheme. White or other color perhaps. Then just one standard regular boba fett & have the other two bobas as two different painted characters. Until the very day I get the mandalorian then I will put them all together to form a bounty hunter squadron. With or without boba fett being involved in it. (Note to reminder: this will be something to come forth next for my own toy story. Since I just finished my toy story with the betrayal of thrawn & all that. In the end, thrawn dies, Palpatine regains his leadership as emperor again & the original characters are guided home by master Yoda using a teleportation wrist device to lead them home. The next toy story I will be making up with my own imagination will tell a story about the bounty hunter side; Boba fetts side after he went & departed ways after the leadership was regained by Palpatine. Just keep in mind I also brought in other characters too during the last final war segment with Godzilla & Transformers being intertwined with the star wars toy story universe. Reign check of course. So a new character will be introduced in the bounty hunter toy story. & then sooner or later boba & the two other mandalorians he paired up with will come across din dejarin. & then all hell out is going to end up snapping which means.. Palpatine hired bossk & ig 88 along with warok a dark wookie warrior who is Chewbacca in bounty hunter disguise from shadows of the Empire but not Chewbacca from shadows of the Empire but a new bounty hunter character already introduced in the toy story of star wars. Also Galvatron is involved & so is ghidorah but ghidorah doesn't know Palpatine called off the war so ghidorah might still attack but because there are many different incarnations of Godzilla & only one Kong then it's possible that Kong or Godzilla might kill off ghidorah entirely from the toy story. But back to the bounty hunters working for the Empire under Palpatine direct advisory of course. So bossk & ig 88 joined in but so did warok but wait! Warok died by thrawn or snoke I forgot. But Palpatine revived warok. Also luuke darkwalker is working for the Empire too. He's an evil clone established from the hand Luke lost on bespin. Also a new character. An evil darksider. Jorus C baoth is in the story too. Because there are a limited number of only 4 bounty hunters minus luuke darkwalker, who used to be a bounty hunter slash mercenary. Warok & darkwalker go back to the times when thrawn before he established direct order under the impression before overtossing Palpatine aside. Warok & darkwalker let's just say they're both old friends who have some history together. Did I forget to mention Leia has an evil twin too? But she hasn't come in yet. Not yet. Well anyway the bounty hunters who are working for the Empire & the ones who are non working for the Empire there might be a big fight between the two because boba departed his way but bossk & ig 88 have a friendship bond with boba so you know they're going to try to convince him to come back. But bobas perspective view is different. He wants to actually have a chance to side & re establish the mandalorian order by creating it in his own unique way. Not the old republic's way. & yes as soon as that happens basically ig 11 will be boba fetts right hand second who will take ig 88s place. & the rest which includes the other 3 mandalorians who are pairing up with boba in the next toy story will take: Dengars place, 4 loms place, & bossks place in a new assembled mandalorian squadron. Which will have to possibly start a revivalry with the old bounty hunters who were once paired with boba. The catch is.. dengar denied joining the Empire because he wanted to go home to be with his wife Sheila. 4 lom denied because if he's not with zuckus then there's no point in joining. That's why warok & darkwalker are both replacements for those two because they declined their offer from Palpatine. After the war segment was concluded. Palpatine lost a lot of friends along way in that toy story, he lost grievous, then maul died. Then not shortly after tyrannous went out with a saber pucked from behind his back. Killed by snoke that is. So Palpatine gave his former apprentices peace & mercy so he apologized in the beginning. Grievous was also the one that rescued him. Also.. way in the beginning. Sadly he met his end by the hands of thrawn. Also of which not only did grievous go out alone but he was also side by side with his rival opponent Ben Kenobi who had also sacrificed himself while giving it up to allow the others to escape from thrawn reign of terrany. Thrawn ended them both. But Palpatine wasn't a wimp. He taught both snoke & thrawn a lesson for killing his friends. He basically redeemed himself more than an emperor in command of his own dictator leadership but rather Anti hero who saught to bring back what truly lies better. This doesn't like star wars; I know.. But it's from my own imagination & I incorporated that all just with my own personal way of creating and establishing a story with all the toys I bought throughout the years but that's a creators way of making a good story out these toys. Not just for personal use but for a meaningful use. A great creative engineering use. A purpose of which defies what life should've been about than rather that of just playing video games & wasting precious time away all for nothing. Even if that time that had been wasted it still would've been put towards a special segment in which you could put that time towards something else than waste it on something that isn't necessarily needed at all.) But yes I like the review. As soon as I see these in store around may I'm definitely going to pick them up. Still confused why they're out now it's too early. Have a nice day.
Why cant i like this whole concept...??!...i mean i love collecting all vintage 70s and 80s s.w. figs from my childhood..yet i just feel these are an elaborate scheme from Hasbro trying to dupe our weakspot for vintage. ..its like they are imposter toys for me...i dont know maybe if they were just 2 dollars each like the 70s then i might grab a few..?
The Child scale is totally out of whack but I don't think anyone really is bothered by it now. I did however notice your frog is missing its eye? LOL. Great review as always my friend, these do look great and I'm anxiously awaiting mine.
That's what I did with the new TVC ROTJ Boba Fett, I got 2 from BBTS, I rarely buy toys AT the store, scalpers , exclusives and all around hunting for certain figures ruin collecting for me, I'm too old(47)and tired to hit every Walmart or Target only to find nothing. Also, there's really nothing I'm interested these days in collecting other than a few odds and ends here and there.
Great review! Thank you! I think I'll give these a miss, though. I'm going to stick to the TVC versions of these characters (if the rest ever come in).
Nice set Bossk I didn't care for these that much but they are almost imposdible to get as I have never seen them in store or instck online. Not bad though. Cheers bro!
Overall I really like the figures and awesome review as always!😁👍. But I have to be honest I am disappointed in the face sculpt of Cara Dune!😢. Go back and look at preorder pics and there is a major difference. So sad
In MY opinion, the most damaging thing George Lucas has ever said about star wars was the whole "It's like poetry, it rhymes," these "retro" figures are a product of that statement, it makes the entire star wars prequels, sequels, cartoons, spin-offs, video games, toys, etc... lazy since it's jam-packed with "rhyming poetry," to the point it's an inside joke on the entire franchise.
The figures themselves look great. But i find it absolutely incredible that after 2+ years of feedback from collectors regarding the cardbacks in the retro collection that Hasbro continue to ignore repeated requests to modify them! Not only do they still insisit in covering up the image with the retro sticker and putting that fake weathering on the edges, they've even taken a step backwards from the previous ESB retro line buy putting the bloody leaflet BEHIND the figure again!!!

Great review as always Tim and congrats on being first to showcase them on youtube!!! :)
ooooh was I the first? Nice!
I feel your pain. With my ESB retro figures I made a small slit in the bubble with a blade and pulled the leaflets out with tweezers. I removed the shitty retro stickers and then blacked out the distressed marks with a black marker. End result was nice.
Great review mate, managed to get a full set recently.
I'm not a big collector of the Retro collection, but I could not pass on these. Can't wait to get mine!
I past on the Retro collection..But im a huge Mando fan and these look Great out of the packages!
The Greef Karga gun actually does fit the holster. It is molded to fit it quite snuggly and it looks great in the holster. Try it again. Wish more figures had holsters like this. Thanks for all the great videos.
I won’t be opening mine but they do look good as a set open.
Those figures look cool all together. I just think it was an odd choice for Hasbro to make a retro figure out of mandalorian stuff.
Great review! This is my favourite Retro wave so far and, not surprisingly, the only one which I REALLY want to open. Prefer these to slightly shrunken reproductions of existing vintage figures. Grew up with the original Kenner figures, so these new characters in that style are nostalgic gold to me. 👍🏻
I picked up IG-11 at Walmart today. I must say, that retro style packaging is really taking me back to my childhood - love it!
You can open the figures and have them able to close easily going from the bottom where the plastic meets the cardboard and go around on two sides then can take it out and put it back in.
I grew up on the 90s figures so that’s my jam the most. These are cool for show.
I love these figures! I have to get them, well they are already shipping to me now. Great video and great review!
Thanks for the review. Just purchased the set.
They look great. Mine are due to arrive on Saturday. It’ll be good to mix them with my old vintage ships & playsets for some photos.
Wow Tim. You can make a family with the three different versions of The Child xD
As an original figures collector and growing up with them as a kid I love these new releases. The VC collection for me felt kinda meh when they first brought them, even though it was a step up from the hasbro/disney ones and I have to admit they did step up with the VC collection the last couple of years. Thanks for doing these aswell and I do agree the fake wear on the cards was not needed.
I actually just picked up Kuiil and IG-11 the other day. Really love IG-11.
I love the kenner style figures, these look beautiful, i would love to see some of the kenner spaceships
Thanks for the Great Review, Tim! These turned out much better than I thought they would. Really Fun! I like’em 🤩👍
Great job!! He’s right the IG-11 & Kuiil cardbacks are probably the ones we will get in TVC. Also the baby Yoda retro Collection is accurately scaled for the retro theme. If it was really released back in those days they would have never packed in such a small figurine that’s targeted for children. Modern day collectors expect more accuracy in terms of detail and scaling. Thinking retro wise they hit the nail on the head with this one.
Just got mine today they are great fit in so well and I see green cargas gun fits in his holster just like hoth han solo awesome
I found the whole set at Walmart except The Child! Grabbed them up!
Can’t wait to get these in hand and love this line. The figures really look great and will stand right next to the other retro collection figures. The only problem is, there isn’t a ROTJ retro collection wave to fill the gap between the ESB wave 2 and this Mando wave 3. Hopefully we don’t have to wait another year to find out.
So glad that Hasbro didn’t cancel Cara Dune. Can’t wait to receive my set soon
Thanks for those fucking sjw or cancel culture they got her fired and hasbro cancel the action figures of her !
@serick73 yeah, a stupid nazi coward company.
Cool stuff. Love that they hop onto the Retro Train. Feel Like super 7 started this with their reaction Line.
Very good review Tim Thanks for opening them and giving a review I can't wait to get mine. He'll probably get a lot of you since I think you're one of the first and I hope you do get a lot of reviews good luck and keep the great reviews coming. Love your content
I wish they wouldn’t add the weathered distresses look to the packaging.
Great video and review. I’m so tempted to order a second set to open after watching this!
These really do look great in hand. Definitely had to buy these myself. Thanks for the great 📹!
Omg I love them!! I bought IG-11
I just ordered the mando figure and can’t wait to get him
Mine are in the way... I'm looking forward to racking them up on the wall together with TVC and carbonized.... it'll be 3 in a row in most cases! 😉👌🏼
P.S indeed the size of the child is interesting!
This is incredible honesty they are not to bad.
I love them. Glad they went vinyl capes! Moff shoulda had a black telescoping saber, but I appreciate the effort :)
He should!
Great review Bossk. Mine arrived today, I love them.. I'm primarily a vintage collector and they fit right in with my vintage stuff.. hope we get Bo Katan and other Mando retro figures in the future.
They are pretty good actually Especially moff
Stickers are coming off Tim in my video. Great review. That child cardback is terrible.
I know you like to take the stickers off. Even though I dont like them, I like to keep them like they are supposed to be.
They do look good. I only preordered one set so wont be opening mine. Thank you for a great review!
I like them as a set!
Kuill looks great
Enjoyed that video! I’ll be buying one of them for sure, maybe Mando ..
Those figures look amazing!!! I’ve never seen them in stores, nor have I seen Mandalorian, but when I find the time I’ll probably add some of them to my collection.
But, even though they were able to mimic the look and quality of the Kenner style perfectly, I say Hasbro should’ve gone the extra/full mile and give the figures completely random weapons.
Like;
Mando has either a rebel/smuggler blaster or a Jabba’s palace blaster and an AT-AT driver rifle.
Kuill has an imperial blaster.
Cara has a rebel/smuggler blaster and a Hoth Luke sling rifle.
Moff Gideon still keeps his dark saber but comes with a tie fighter pilot blaster.
Greek Kargo has a bespin blaster.
And IG-11 and the child keep their accessories as they are.
These are all what I would personally give each figure, for those of you who are vintage toy people, what would you give each figure?
They look great Bossk! I especially like that IG-11.
Those are very nice. I really like the sand for the pod base
It's ironic how we get retro Quill and IG11 before they come in vintage collection.
Wonderful video, particularly enjoyed the comparisons with other lines! Might just have to get myself a set now... 🙈
Cheers Dan!
Nice review Tim
Nice set! Must acquire!
Man! Thanks so much for this video, I’m pretty much sold. I’ll be tearing these off the card! Haha
Retro Mando looks great!
I love the vintage style colouring for each character, they really pop.
Cheers Bossk!
Great video I need these figures
Congrats on getting those already!!
I preordered these from Hasbro Pulse the day it was announced and I probably wont receive them until 2 months or later after their release date for some pathetic reason. I'm questioning the value of "preordering" anymore......
To be fair these are supposed to be May. I have no idea why we have them early in the UK
@@BossksBounty They're there because of YOU sir!
Wow. I didn't think these were shipping yet, at least not stateside.
Great review! The figures really do look great! The vinyl capes are golden! If only Hasbro did away with the “retro” sticker, paper insert, faux card damage, and the additional plastic behind the figure... Could you imagine these figures lose in the bubble or propped up with that small bit of colored card stock between the legs and the weapons taped to the blister wall on pristine card backs! That would absolutely take me back in time! 😌😌😌
That plastic behind the figure makes it far more annoying than required to open the packaging with minimal damage
Lucky!! Ill get mine soon.. hopefully
When Hasbro eventually gets around to doing a Retro ROTJ line, who do you think the "new" figure will be? If the choice is between a re-release one of the Ewok board games (Wicket the Ewok or Ewoks Save the Trees) with a Retro Leia in her Endor gown packed in....or the Battle at the Sarlaac Pit game with one of Jabba's goons...which would you rather see?
Great..more money to spend! These look great lined up side by side
Great review. The figures look awesome, but the papers behind them is such an eyesore! And if they're gonna keep the scuff marks on the edges, they could at least not have them be identical (they were identical on the ANH cards but unique on the ESB wave).
They look pretty good. My pre order ships in May. It's nice to get a look at them. I ordered a case. 1 of each except for the Mandalorian. There's 2 of them in the case. Odd that the retro child is so much bigger than the others though. I have my 3.75 inch Mando with the 2.5 inch child. It looks pretty good I think. Keep up the good work .👍
I was unable to find cara dune so I kind of assumed that she wasn't made lmao
These actually look pretty good.
Great review 👍👌 In regard to the size of the Child, I assume they followed the Kenner approach to very small characters like Salacious Crumb, 'make them massive'!
Yeah possibly. good point Jason
The Child is probably larger to accommodate vintage-style neck and shoulder swivels.
Enjoyed that review makes me wish I’d ordered the full set 👍🏻
Got your hands on them already got mine on pre order hopefully I'll get cara dune with mine
I appreciate these figures and what hasbro are doing with the line , and they do look great btw . I just havnt collected any of them . Great review Tim , cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
The Child cardback is crazy. All that was needed was just the pram and figure not a piece of the ground. Too much bubble and more likely be damaged and all could have been squeezed into one bubble I think
Always a great watch , Tim and Only one do us proud here in the uk I’d love a beer and and chat one day ! 👌🏻🍻
Glad to see some open and on display. They all do look terrific But I still can't get over how long Mando's cape is. Will definitely be getting the full set. Nice video as ever Tim. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
what figures you hoping for in retro wave 4
Here’s my wish list:
Biker Scout
Wicket
Jedi Luke
Leia Combat Poncho
Han Trench Coat
Lando Skiff Guard Disguise
Admiral Ackbar
Gamorrean Guard
my wish list C-3PO, R2-D2, ben kenobi, sand people, jawa, death squad commander luke x-wing
Good to see these in hand Tim. Shame that the ig11 is slightly less detailed than ig88. U would think new means better. Cool line up of figures. Enjoyed the review 👍
I think all the Retro figs are a bit softer detailed then their vintage counterparts. Old = better lol
These rock!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It is the Way!
Cheers Tim...That pod should look good with the Black Series Grogu! :)
Oh, I do want now....
I don’t collect these but they are pretty cool to be fair. Nice video Tim!
1st to review these in the world me thinks Mr Bossk... bravo sir 👏 for the first time ever I ordered an extra set with a view to one set staying sealed in the shipper box. Am I being daft for this particular range or is this a good thing? Can’t quite make my mind up 🤔 awesome review as always Tim
I can't wait to get these in my hands!!
They are great, much better than I thought they would be
Great looking figures once in hand I would say. Like u I wasn’t entirely sold on kuill’s (spelled right?) paint scheme but want to get them all anyways. I only would’ve liked to see an original vintage Yoda next to the new Gogru just for size comparison.
I think The Child in the Retro Collection will up to vintage Yoda’s chest when comparing my BS and original brown snake Yoda.
I nwave 2, I hope they do Asoka Tano, an Incinerator Trooper, a Death Trooper, and Bo Khatan.
The Child’s bubble looks like a chunky vintage Gi Joe bubble
They look brilliant! I have no problem of them making these into the retro line, don't think I could be lucky enough to get 2 sets but it would be great if I do, as I would like a lose set. Thanks for sharing Bossk. Cheers🍻👍🏻
I was of the thinking that the Retro collection should be just for the original vintage figures and I wasn't going to buy them. Then the whole situation came about with Gina Carano and her figure being cancelled except the Retro collection version, so I decided to get the set just for her figure as I didn't have a 3.75" version of her.

Well anyway the bounty hunters who are working for the Empire & the ones who are non working for the Empire there might be a big fight between the two because boba departed his way but bossk & ig 88 have a friendship bond with boba so you know they're going to try to convince him to come back. But bobas perspective view is different. He wants to actually have a chance to side & re establish the mandalorian order by creating it in his own unique way. Not the old republic's way. & yes as soon as that happens basically ig 11 will be boba fetts right hand second who will take ig 88s place. & the rest which includes the other 3 mandalorians who are pairing up with boba in the next toy story will take: Dengars place, 4 loms place, & bossks place in a new assembled mandalorian squadron. Which will have to possibly start a revivalry with the old bounty hunters who were once paired with boba. The catch is.. dengar denied joining the Empire because he wanted to go home to be with his wife Sheila. 4 lom denied because if he's not with zuckus then there's no point in joining. That's why warok & darkwalker are both replacements for those two because they declined their offer from Palpatine. After the war segment was concluded. Palpatine lost a lot of friends along way in that toy story, he lost grievous, then maul died. Then not shortly after tyrannous went out with a saber pucked from behind his back. Killed by snoke that is. So Palpatine gave his former apprentices peace & mercy so he apologized in the beginning. Grievous was also the one that rescued him. Also.. way in the beginning. Sadly he met his end by the hands of thrawn. Also of which not only did grievous go out alone but he was also side by side with his rival opponent Ben Kenobi who had also sacrificed himself while giving it up to allow the others to escape from thrawn reign of terrany. Thrawn ended them both. But Palpatine wasn't a wimp. He taught both snoke & thrawn a lesson for killing his friends. He basically redeemed himself more than an emperor in command of his own dictator leadership but rather Anti hero who saught to bring back what truly lies better. This doesn't like star wars; I know.. But it's from my own imagination & I incorporated that all just with my own personal way of creating and establishing a story with all the toys I bought throughout the years but that's a creators way of making a good story out these toys. Not just for personal use but for a meaningful use. A great creative engineering use. A purpose of which defies what life should've been about than rather that of just playing video games & wasting precious time away all for nothing. Even if that time that had been wasted it still would've been put towards a special segment in which you could put that time towards something else than waste it on something that isn't necessarily needed at all.)
But yes I like the review. As soon as I see these in store around may I'm definitely going to pick them up. Still confused why they're out now it's too early.
Have a nice day.
Why cant i like this whole concept...??!...i mean i love collecting all vintage 70s and 80s s.w. figs from my childhood..yet i just feel these are an elaborate scheme from Hasbro trying to dupe our weakspot for vintage. ..its like they are imposter toys for me...i dont know maybe if they were just 2 dollars each like the 70s then i might grab a few..?
Moff gideon would have been better with a slide out saber.
The Child scale is totally out of whack but I don't think anyone really is bothered by it now. I did however notice your frog is missing its eye? LOL. Great review as always my friend, these do look great and I'm anxiously awaiting mine.
Cheer Mike! I dont think the frog has the eye lol
I think that they look cool and if I can find them I will get them
Good thing I pre ordered these I’m tired of hopelessly looking for these in stores
That's what I did with the new TVC ROTJ Boba Fett, I got 2 from BBTS, I rarely buy toys AT the store, scalpers , exclusives and all around hunting for certain figures ruin collecting for me, I'm too old(47)and tired to hit every Walmart or Target only to find nothing. Also, there's really nothing I'm interested these days in collecting other than a few odds and ends here and there.
Did you check and see if that gun fits in the grief carga holster like the Hoth Han Kenner action figure does
I didnt, and now you say it, I bet it does! Will check!
I really hope we get Kuill in the Vintage Collection it was on the IG-11 Wave but it now has moved to his Rumored Vintage Collection List by Yakface.
Great review! Thank you! I think I'll give these a miss, though. I'm going to stick to the TVC versions of these characters (if the rest ever come in).
Nice set Bossk I didn't care for these that much but they are almost imposdible to get as I have never seen them in store or instck online. Not bad though. Cheers bro!
I wonder how Kuiil compares to the Ugnaught figure from Empire?
"Dumb down"? That's kind of a back handed compliment, don't you think? Maybe say they have a simple design instead?
ALL SHIT!I wouldn't waste my money.
The Vintage and Black series are where it's at!
Enjoyed the review.
Thank you Brian
I just got the child, is this retro version the closest to scale ??
Overall I really like the figures and awesome review as always!😁👍. But I have to be honest I am disappointed in the face sculpt of Cara Dune!😢. Go back and look at preorder pics and there is a major difference. So sad
It may be my eyes, I could be getting old! 😂😂
Hi bossk!!! How’s little bossk?
Very well thanks, we just finished a game of Fortnite!
I started to build the Death Star a few months ago on Fortnite.
hi Tim how would you feel if hasbro released ALL the figures like back in the day as they obviously have kept the tooling etc....
I dont think they used the original molds - Luke farmboy is a little shorter for example.
The sticker can be removed using lighter fluid.
In MY opinion, the most damaging thing George Lucas has ever said about star wars was the whole "It's like poetry, it rhymes," these "retro" figures are a product of that statement, it makes the entire star wars prequels, sequels, cartoons, spin-offs, video games, toys, etc... lazy since it's jam-packed with "rhyming poetry," to the point it's an inside joke on the entire franchise.
