I was with everyone when they said this two pack didn't make sense--if the battle droid just came out with an alt head then this would've been a smash hit. UNTIL it became clear that this super battle droid was scene specific. On top of that, the geonosis battle droid already has a single release, and the super battle droid single release already has its preorder up. This isn't MEANT to be a troop builder pack, it's a scene builder pack. I'm perfectly happy with this, especially cuz it means I can buy just one of these, I don't have to get as many crappy B1 figures as B2s, and I'll have some differentiation between my additional B2 singles I'll buy.
Hello Luke thanks for sharing your thoughts on the new Super Battle Droid and C-3P0 Battle Droid two pack. I'm waiting for the single release of the Super Battle Droid, I'll probably get two or three of them. If Hasbro clearances this two pack then I might get it but I'm not certain, just going to see what happens. Thanks for reviewing these figures I appreciate it. Take care and I'll catch you later my friend. Tom
I've gone with this 2pk because I'm actually liking the C-3PO, I couldn't see Hasbro making this a single release so the fact he's in this pack is a win for me. But I'll definitely be acquiring several of the single pack B2s when they are released. I'm also hoping that Hasbro will utilise this mould to give us the Clone Wars versions with Rocket Launcher, Jet pack, and Clone Cadet Practice Droid in time.
Nice review. I still have the original AOTC 3' 3/4" scale version I picked up at K B Toys back then when the store was going out of business. It would be nice if the BS had a Droid Factory assembly line w/crane to go with it.
I preordered this in a scare that they wouldn’t single release supper battle droid for awhile. But I meant to cancel It anyways as I hate that battle droid with C-3PO head. As to my surprise I got a “processed” and then shipped notification. Ugh. Can’t keep up with all theee preorders and what I have as I’m a fan/collector of many properties.
Great to hear B2 is more sturdy than Magna Guard. I'm passing on this expression, waiting for the clean single B2, and hoping they tone down the blue on his head.
Weird question but you remember that Rebel soldier who disguises himself as scout trooper on Endor? Same guy who we got as figure? Is there really way to kitbash that for figure using that faceplate and Scout trooper body? Or would 3D printing be neccessary for head?
It's a good set other than the price. I feel like I'm just going to get the single release and wait for this to be on sale. The figure definitely looks and functions way better than I expected. Great review!
I'm waiting for the Jedi: Survivor 3-pack - I'm very excited to be getting more figures from that game, it was the highlight of last year for me. I don't collect prequel, sequel or old republic era figures- just figures from around the empire era (Andor, Solo, OT, Rogue One, Mando, Ahsoka, etc.) - and I'm desperate for more Fallen Order/Survivor representation. Merrin is definitely my number 1 wishlisted figure of all time (I love my bloodthirsty goth pansexual queen). I do like the designs of Battle droids, though, so I'm glad to get an excuse to have them despite their prequel roots. (Same with pit droids - getting that 4-pack too!)
I’ll wait for one single release and another with the Palpatine two pack. So I’ll have two in total. I cancelled two of this two pack due to no Battle Droid Head included.
Looks ok but I won’t get it. The battle damage is not well done and I hate that they put 3po in this 2-pack. All army builder multipacks should just be multiple grunt types. Hasbro is leaving $ on the table with bad decisions like this
It was never advertised as being an army builder, but rather a scene specific 2 pack. Single release Super Battle droid comes later. Army build that all you want.
Cannot wait for the Super Battle Droid single release!!! It looks so good! Thanks for the first look!
Hell yeah, mine will be here Monday, can’t wait! I’ll take any and all repaints of this B2 as well. Great review, Luke!
Piss off zoo boy

I had planned to wait for the single release... but I've been all in on the prequels so what the hell, I'm gonna pick it up!
The shoulders are butterfly joints, just a little tight and its limited a bit by the mold but i assure you its there.
Sorry if you already mentioned this, but is the super battle droid metallic bluish color? Or is that just the lighting? Thanks!
Great Video, Thanks for the shout out! Im really excited to get this set!
The blue on the head of the Super Battledroid stands out a little too much imo
I don't know why this was in my recommended but it's a happy surprise, good video
Was not expecting wrist articulation on the SBD holy hell. Loving the surprises this figure is throwing at us constantly

Thanks for watching and commenting as always Tom!
Super Battle Droid looks better than I thought it would. And it’s always a good day when we get to see your custom 3P0 🔥

Lucky! I actually like the c3po battle droid andbi can't wait to get this!
Is there any possibility of you making a 3D printable battle droid head and neck that could swap out threepio’s?
4:13 poor magnaguard, hopefully bandai model kit will make him someday like they did greivous. but damn the b2 supes are gorgeous
Nice review. I still have the original AOTC 3' 3/4" scale version I picked up at K B Toys back then when the store was going out of business. It would be nice if the BS had a Droid Factory assembly line w/crane to go with it.
I'm guessing C-3PO's head isn't swappable with the Geonosis Battle Droid?
No comparison with the Super Battle Droid and General Grievous?
So excited. Mine should be here too any day now!
I preordered this in a scare that they wouldn’t single release supper battle droid for awhile. But I meant to cancel
It anyways as I hate that battle droid with C-3PO head. As to my surprise I got a “processed” and then shipped notification. Ugh. Can’t keep up with all theee preorders and what I have as I’m a fan/collector of many properties.
No wrist rockets? 0/10
Jk it looks great! Can’t wait for a single release though. Don’t really care about the 3P0
Reek looks awesome. Actually, I prefer the look of the custom super battle droid better.
Hopefully someone makes a kit to replace that c3po head with a B1 head
Really excited for the B2. So glad we're adding to the separatist army in the line. Much needed. Great review!
Will the single SBD release actually come tho? We've waited so long for this one
another banger I cannot wait to buy lots of this guy and weather them up and make some super shiny
Great to hear B2 is more sturdy than Magna Guard. I'm passing on this expression, waiting for the clean single B2, and hoping they tone down the blue on his head.
But can it do the pose where it’s right elbow is bent and holding its wrist cannons up?
I got mine a week ago and the super battle droid might be one of my favorites
I'm waiting for the single release and grabbing 2 then.
For the life of me i cannot find this set anywhere? I live in Netherlands, but even in online retailers i cant find this set..
We need Black Series Geonosians
The B2 is phenomenal
They look so cheap...
Need to go to this store
I was there today to
My biggest take away from this video is that you have an Acklay printed?? Can’t wait.
Yep! Still haven’t painted it yet though haha
Is it undersized?
.... there’s a Jedi Survivor 3 pack planned?
Yeah it was pipelined in March. Magna Guard, SBD, and B1 in the raider faction colors
Score
Why this didn't have the 3po body with a b1 head baffles me😂
Didn't stop me ordering it but I'm still baffled 🤣
hbhbhhu
Now that was awesome! I love C-3PO and Super Battle Droid figures are really coo.l😎
Weird question but you remember that Rebel soldier who disguises himself as scout trooper on Endor? Same guy who we got as figure? Is there really way to kitbash that for figure using that faceplate and Scout trooper body? Or would 3D printing be neccessary for head?
Great review! I'm excited to pick this set up and really glad it seems to live up to expectations!
Couldn’t wait (who knows how long) for the single release. So glad this is superior and worth the wait, not a Magna Guard!
FedEx delivered mine today 👍🏻. Enjoyed the vid Luke
Mine will be here soon, and I’m so excited for it! I’ll also be picking up the single release too as I at least want 2-3 of the B2s
It's a good set other than the price. I feel like I'm just going to get the single release and wait for this to be on sale. The figure definitely looks and functions way better than I expected. Great review!
Got mine in yesterday, and even though my pile of shame is overflowing, I made sure to unbox them.
I definitely want to get my hands on a few of these and have one on a repair table, kinda like that one scene from the SW Resistance show.
Dude that's my favorite store.
I am so looking forward to getting that two pack, great review as always
That reek looks awesome btw
b2 looks sick

I’ve got Fredrick working on a Merrin custom for me. Got sick of waiting
Pretty sure Merrin is straight. Why would she be "pansexual"? Unless you're joking.
I’ll wait for one single release and another with the Palpatine two pack. So I’ll have two in total. I cancelled two of this two pack due to no Battle Droid Head included.

What for single release!
