It takes 18 months from design to final figure so this came out right on time. The first release was already tooled and came out to capitalize on the newness of the character appearing right before it released. Also it looks just like a specific version of the comic version which was exactly what it was marketed as so no Hasbro wasnt bring Hasbro. It was the only fig you were physically able to get given this accurate version was a year and a half away.
Robo, I really appreciate you taking the time to really break everything down and (hopefully) quiet the complainers. I don't think you needed to, though, because inevitably some people will always complain no matter what. But at least you tried to explain everything rationally and objectively. I got this Santo in the other day, and I agree-he's awesome!
Thanks for the thorough and personable review. I wasn’t sure if I’d add Krrsantan to my (already too large) Black Series collection. But now I’m feeling the need to get it. In other words, I am grateful my wife-probably not so much.
Solid review, you brought me around to liking mine more now. I never had a problem with the size really, more of the movement. But you can’t beat the sculpt.
I wonder if an extender could be added into the torso without the arms and legs looking out of proportion? Still, the figure looks amazing and I'm really hoping that now we'll get some episode 3 wookiees and Snoova (and I certainly wouldn't pass on Chewie's family, either!).
Hopefully getting this soon in the UK. Already had my damaged Vader delivered this week. Was able to order Starkiller set last night. So, thats nice. Lol😂
This year is weird for "if these two figures fused, it'd be perfect." In this case, if we had this build with the height of the first Black Krrsantan, it'd be perfect. Because even in terms of comics, he's still a huge dude 99% of the time, so the first one isn't really accurate unless you *really* go looking for panels where he's off-model if anything. Still, this one will do. I'm going to stand him next to my Doctor Aphra and be happy, he's not going anywhere near a Chewbacca anyway.
Idk why Robo is so fond of the comic figure being close to like 2 appearances when the iconic and nomal one is huge muscular wookie, but yeah, the height coud've been improved easily
@@TheFwoosh I meant more for a catch all, leaning towards comic BK, the height of the first one with the build of this one is more accurate. His height got reduced for the show, so it's fine in that sense, but we never did get a proper comic BK.
Looks great, I’m going to have to pick this one up! I thought, when you tossed the figure and said”it’s a toy,” I thought you were going to pick it up and say, “ I’m sorry, Uncle Robo didn’t mean that,” then give that look to the camera.
Got mine yesterday. No complaints at all! It's a beautifully sculpted figure, well worth the price. He's temporarily posed on my desk right now body slamming the WWE Muhammed Ali figure I got a couple weeks ago. The Champ is the Greatest but no match for an enraged Wookie.
I’m with ya Robo. Pulse charged me for my BoBF BK and will be here next week ish. I still love the repaint of Chewie with the sweet head they did in comic line. Width isn’t that big a deal for me as I see Wookiees as Chimpanzee strong, lanky and stronger than they look, Sasquatch. I know BK was seasoned by the gladiator pit. To some that makes him bulk up like a roid user. To me it just makes him more cunning and ferocious. This figure looks great! I kind of see BK as the smaller Wookiee with a big ole chip. He fights like he is larger. Still a great figure!
I completely understand having more than one version of a character in figure form. In my case I get Figuarts/Mafex for the quality and accessories and Hasbro for actually fidgeting with the figure. Like I LOVE my figuarts ROTJ Luke, but I just got the ROTJ 40th Hasbro Luke and have handled it more in the past few days than I have my Figuarts, which I have had for years.
If he came with another accessory or 2 I could see the deluxe price. Missing paint apps and 1 accessory doesn't warrant 34.99. Still a great figure but overpriced.
A Fwoosh review on my birthday, heck yeah! This figure looks really nice but for now it's on the backburner for me in terms of potential pickups. I'm planning a major collection shift, selling off some stuff over the next month or so, after which I should have more money and space, that'll be when I decide to bite the bullet on this one or not.
Finally preordered him today. I thought he was sold out. But the comic shop manager told me he just put up 4 more. I don’t mind the articulation he is kinda made just to stand on the shelf holding the gun. Not much reason to pose him much
I like this one and will be picking it up. The problem people always have is their perception is what they think reality is. Robo you did the actors sizes and figures match people can just chill or not yet the figure very simple.
Hey Robo, will you be getting the Darth Malgus figure? I know you're not too attached to the Old Republic or game based figures but he's worth it. I'm baised because he's my favourite sith but he's a beast at 7" tall.
I think this figure is sick but I can’t lie the height is a let down for me personally, in my head I’ve always looked at krssantan as a much bigger and broader Wookiee than chewie and I’m pretty sure while the actor is 6”7 the character is listed as over 7 feet tall
Personally i really wanted a closed mouth, so i prefer the Vintage Collection version, but i don't collect that scale anymore. I also think it was foolish of Hasbro to produce the comic version first. When i saw this big fellow on TV i immediately wanted what i saw in a 6" figure. Frustrating all around! Oh well, that's just me, i'm happy for those who like it.
Hey Robo i always like trying to make teams out of my figures for different imaginary situations . What figures would be in your "mysfit" figure team ? (Mix and match from any line you own)
You missed the button on the back for the "Wookie Smash" action feature. LOL Seriously, I'm fine with the size of this figure compared to the rest of the line. And the minor paint quibbles I can fix (the brown on the belt is going to bug me for sure). Is it a deluxe? eh maybe? The SDCC Vintage Collection figure came with a bunch of accessories that this one could have benefited from. Separate knuckle-duster hands, more weapons, that fruit thing he's holding in the screenshot you used. I get its an all new sculpt but so are the majority of Black Series figures. But hey its either action figures or hookers and blow and I can legally resell action figures so...
I remember back in the day. I believe it was around the time of Episode 3. George Lucas had said something about Chewie was supposed to be small for a wookiee. He'd had the idea for the ROTJ forest battle to be Wookiees instead of Ewoks. But it was easier to use little people or children. Then find enough people as tall or taller then Peter Mayhew to be Wookiees. So when he did Episode 3 he had the effects to be able to make Wookiees in abundance that were larger than Chewie. So he could finally have a large scale battle. It may have been on a commentary track, a interview, or another making of feature that he divulged this. I don't remember which though.
I was expecting the Black Series Book of Boba Fett Black Krrsantan to be a 7.5 inch + figure. I kept think he was well over 7 ft when watching the show.
I’m I the only one that’s still annoyed that ML and BS have the cheapest no frills tissue paper twisted closed while GI Joe has custom printed factory sealed baggies and cardboard accessory “chests”. Even the box art is better with Joes. We already get less for our money with Marvel and SW but they can’t even be on par with the lame windowless packaging?
@@TheFwoosh yeah, I hear you. I rewatched some of his scenes and realize now they were angled from a lower viewpoint/perspective making him appear taller than he actually was. On that note, I still want him taller cuz it looks cool :)
Hasbro prices are a little higher, but I feel like the haters miss that Hasbro also does all the testing to ensure their figures meet standards in the US to be toys for kids and they are way more durable than a lot of adult collector figures which are sometimes pretty fragile
I said it in th past and will say it again, defending the old krrsantan by "is accurate to like 2 comic issues" is not a proper argument when hasbro puts art of the other more iconic comic appearance in the box itself, other than that, this one looks cool, sad that the articulation is not the strongest point but as you mentioned, the sculpt is the culprit but also they could've compensated that with more accessories or an angry face
It's a fantastic figure but 33 bucks for a six inch Hasbro with one accessory is asinine. This is why I've scaled back buying Hasbro figures. So I can justify their exorbitant prices for figures that I really do want.
I've been saying that same thing for months. I pick and choose and only buy the ones I REALLY want. Which is actually a mature and logical way to collect these days. Now.......GIMME $100 IMPORTS!
So much better than the Chewbacca repaint they gave us last year.
Proof hasbro can put in more effort than just repaints only when they feel like it
It takes 18 months from design to final figure so this came out right on time. The first release was already tooled and came out to capitalize on the newness of the character appearing right before it released.

Comic book is canon lol
Good on ya, Robo, for using numbers that CAN'T be denied. 🤘
Thanks man! Yeah, I totally get wanting him to be bigger or broader but you can't fault Hasbro for sticking with stats.
Getting a trandoshan arm or 2 would’ve been neat with this deluxe lol
Robo, I really appreciate you taking the time to really break everything down and (hopefully) quiet the complainers. I don't think you needed to, though, because inevitably some people will always complain no matter what. But at least you tried to explain everything rationally and objectively.

OH yeah, people are going to feel the way they feel, and this is the way I feel....love it, haha.

14:07 I was NOT ready for that! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I need to bleach my brain
Let it soak in, haha!
I keep seeing reviews on this figure and each one I see makes me want it more! Great review -Tommy
It's worth it, go for it!
Solid review, you brought me around to liking mine more now. I never had a problem with the size really, more of the movement. But you can’t beat the sculpt.
Your review is the reason why I bought this figure.
It's a really nice sculpt. Not bad articulation considering the big fur. I got my eye out for this chonky boy.
Black Krssantan was my favorite character in Book of Boba Fett, apart from Boba Fett himself. This figure is great and chunky!
I always enjoy your reviews, Robo. Critiquing things that could be better is important, but having fun with things that you enjoy is equally so!
In canon Boba is 6foot as well as every clone . So Temura being 5’9 next to Kersantan in the show probably makes him look bigger
With the paint job on the face I can’t help but see the evil villain twirling mustache look. Lol. I can’t unsee it.
I'm happy with this Krrsantan! It's a perfect black series figure.
Agreed! The more I mess with it, the more I like it. If that's believable.
My preorder shipped out today, so excited to get it!
Was not expecting that *gesture* in the ending monologue lol
I wonder if an extender could be added into the torso without the arms and legs looking out of proportion? Still, the figure looks amazing and I'm really hoping that now we'll get some episode 3 wookiees and Snoova (and I certainly wouldn't pass on Chewie's family, either!).
Ooo, would a Tarfful work on this?
Amazing one of my favorite characters. I'm so happy I got him completing my book of boba throne display
Great review! I’m really looking forward to his release where I am. Glad I preordered.
@the fwoosh its good to see all the recent black series reviews, keep them coming robo
Hopefully getting this soon in the UK. Already had my damaged Vader delivered this week. Was able to order Starkiller set last night. So, thats nice. Lol😂
They really made up for the last monstrosity 😅
Your custom is my favorite out of all of them 😂❤

There's nothing to improve with the height. Like I said, that's the height in the show, and this Krrsantan is from the show.
@@TheFwoosh I meant more for a catch all, leaning towards comic BK, the height of the first one with the build of this one is more accurate. His height got reduced for the show, so it's fine in that sense, but we never did get a proper comic BK.
good review, brother.
I saw 3 black krrsantans at target yesterday, kinda wish I have grabbed 1 now.
Ay that intro titlecard is slick
Looks great, I’m going to have to pick this one up! I thought, when you tossed the figure and said”it’s a toy,” I thought you were going to pick it up and say, “ I’m sorry, Uncle Robo didn’t mean that,” then give that look to the camera.
He’s very Sasquatch looking very Cool Figure ! I just picked him up today 👍🏼
I love how much you love this figure. Really looking forward to getting him myself!
I really do love it, more today than yesterday.
Deluxe figures must have extra hands!
Got mine yesterday. No complaints at all! It's a beautifully sculpted figure, well worth the price. He's temporarily posed on my desk right now body slamming the WWE Muhammed Ali figure I got a couple weeks ago. The Champ is the Greatest but no match for an enraged Wookie.
You were a hoot throughout this entire video 😅 can't wait to get this figure!
I’m more hyped for this figure now!!
I’m with ya Robo. Pulse charged me for my BoBF BK and will be here next week ish. I still love the repaint of Chewie with the sweet head they did in comic line.

Love it
If he came with another accessory or 2 I could see the deluxe price. Missing paint apps and 1 accessory doesn't warrant 34.99. Still a great figure but overpriced.
I hope that hot toys or sideshow produce a sixth scale figure of Krrsantan in the future in the same hair as sixth scale Chewbacca 👊
Nice review! Please make a review about the book of Boba Fett Cad Bane and Cobb Vanth as well, as I have yet to see any great review of those figures!
A Fwoosh review on my birthday, heck yeah! This figure looks really nice but for now it's on the backburner for me in terms of potential pickups. I'm planning a major collection shift, selling off some stuff over the next month or so, after which I should have more money and space, that'll be when I decide to bite the bullet on this one or not.
Damn, I love this big boy. I hope it comes to Brazil
maybe could combine comic santo's torso with the bobf santo's arms head and legs, make him as tall as chewie
Finally preordered him today. I thought he was sold out. But the comic shop manager told me he just put up 4 more.
I don’t mind the articulation he is kinda made just to stand on the shelf holding the gun. Not much reason to pose him much
I like the size of your custom better, I thought he was gonna be towering over chewbacca
Jean Claud VanDam the Wookie?
I played the long game on this and was able to pick him up for $13 yesterday at Walmart
Chewie is tall and lanky, BK is stock and wide. I like the variety
It was great to see another wookie in Star Wars
Or Al Capone vault
❤
Sir were those noises appropriate ? 14:11
I like this one and will be picking it up. The problem people always have is their perception is what they think reality is. Robo you did the actors sizes and figures match people can just chill or not yet the figure very simple.
I think his rifle is a perfect size. He's a big guy, needs a big gun. Anything smaller just looks weird.
Yeah, I can agree with that.
If I’m not mistaken that fur is actually Wookiee fur he’s the only Wookiee to hunt other Wookiees
Badass🤙🏼

It has a big mistake: the brass knuckle has 5 spikes instead of 4
"My favorite promo shot" *immediately zoom into wookie crotch*
What're you trying to tell us Robo 😂
They body could be reused for Tarfful but Tarfful was same height as Chewbacca. There is a photo online from a photoshoot.
Ngl I wonder how this would look with the comic Krrsantan head, as that's a little taller and has the scar
Hey Robo, will you be getting the Darth Malgus figure? I know you're not too attached to the Old Republic or game based figures but he's worth it. I'm baised because he's my favourite sith but he's a beast at 7" tall.
That's one of my "wait and see and maybe grab at a discount" figures. It looks awesome but I gotta watch the spending.
That's fair. I hope the inevitable Baylan Skoll figure has a similar larger scale. Maybe Hasbro can give us a twin pack with Shin.
How’d you make your custom Krrsantan ? It’s very Cool !
Black Croissantan
looks great fwoosh
Do Wookies = Big Foot = Sasquatch ??!!??!!
Sorry... I was busy BLOWING MY MIND!
Could be a little bit more mobile?!?! It’s a BRICK!! (I’m still buying it tho 🤦🏻♂️)
🔥
Robo, how come there’s no “I’ll catch you on the FWOOSH!” anymore? 😢😭
hey robo! any plans for indy reviews? i wanna see your take on it
Can you swap the comic book krrsantan head with the movie version krrsantan head?
Mr Robo, im new to Star wars black series, does Black Series Bad Batch worth collecting? Thanks
the actor may be 6'7" but there's an easy couple of inches of wookiee hair on top of his head, so 6'9" is probably accurate
Very true. And like I said, camera angles. But after watching some scenes again he's definitely not Chewbacca size.
I think this figure is sick but I can’t lie the height is a let down for me personally, in my head I’ve always looked at krssantan as a much bigger and broader Wookiee than chewie and I’m pretty sure while the actor is 6”7 the character is listed as over 7 feet tall
Scales much better with the shf Chewbacca. The hasbro wookies have always been way too tall

Except for being the completely wrong scale.

Is Chewbacca taller than Krrsantan ?
Great, now every time I look at him I'm going to want fried😂
I got it. It's ok. It's not worth $35 bucks and it should be bigger. Your custom is really good though and that IS worth $1000.
I feel like they really messed up his face; the previous figure has a better head IMO. Every time I look at it I think of an evil Santa Clause lol.
Are his feet on the wrong legs?
No, it kinda looks that way but they are right.
Only a few things offend me.
The comic version of krrrrsantin offended me.
True story
Lol
Who says Hasbro doesn't make Fortnite figures anymore? Another for the squad!
Where does the idea comes from that Chewbaca is a short wookie? I keep hearing it.
I didn't say anything about Chewbacca being a short Wookiee.
@@TheFwoosh Yeah I know but thats what pepole bring up in the Krrrsantan figure being short argument.

Camera angles matter
Yeah!
I would have liked him even more if he was 1/4 inch taller

Haha, I can respect that.
This figure for retail price just screams like a rip-off
Why. Explain.

I'm not "arguing"....because I'm right. Teehee. Plus people take it way too seriously.
Yours is better. Just saying. No. I don't have $1,000-$2,000 to give you. 🤣
All im asking is, how much doe$ he co$t? Yay, or nay

I hate the name Krrsantan
Yeah! Words! Who needs 'em!?
Why am I actually so early
Time. Physics. Scheduling. Sheer luck.
