I just got my 4-LOM in the mail to complete my ESB Bounty Hunters!! I never had Star Wars figures growing up, so this is like a childlike memory I wish I had. Lol.
I'm slowly starting to get my collection built. It's funny cause I started with some Black Series figures, but if I'm being honest, Kenner figures are so much more cooler.
I love bounty hunters! I hate to just jump on the bandwagon, but Boba Fett is easily the best. The rocket pack, the rope that shoots out from his arm.. the outfit. Man, what a home run this was. He took beatings from Luke constantly when I would play with my action figures, and he always came back for another fight.
It's interesting Darth Vader didn't require the Bounty Hunters to leave their weapons on their ships during their briefing on the bridge. Vader was like we can't expect these guys to be unarmed, go ahead a let them bring all their blasters and disintegrators.
Hahaha. I guess he figured the enticement of the reward for the capture of Solo was enough to keep them in check or he'd just Force choke the hell out of each and every one of them if they got out of line. Don't really think Vader was concerned.
Owned Greedo (in 1982). Bossk, was my first EMPIRE figure (in 1981). Also had IG-88 (in 1982) and Dengar (in 1984). Never owned Boba Fett as a child. My brother did have him. Never owned Zuckuss and 4-LOM. Boba Fett, Greedo, Bossk, and IG-88, are my favourite bounty hunter figures.
I'm quite fond of the bounty hunters myself. My sister and I still laugh at how little IG-88 did in The Empire Strikes Back. He was only a prop! At least Boba Fett earned his dollar! Still, IG-88 got two very detailed action figures. I still have both. I remember getting the Boba Fett when he was the first mail away Star Wars figure in 1979. I remember my brother was disappointed that the rocket on Boba Fett didn't fire. A note from Kenner was included with the figure, explaining the absence of the rocket firing feature. The Battlestar Galactica tragedy was all over the news, and many toy companies were worried about dangerous projectiles in toys. Fortunately this didn't affect my love for the Boba Fett figure, which I still have in my collection.
Great video 👍🏼... I never knew the info on Dengar and his bandages, strangley my sons favourite Bounty Hunter due to Battlefront game lol.....love the bounty hunters...I have read that it was a Mattel’s Battlestar Galactic missile that lead to a child fatality, and Kenner had cancelled it to health and safety issues.... either way very sad circumstances. Keep up the good work Stan Solo
Thank you, Chris. Dengar suffered a bit before we got to see him in Empire. Everyone has their favorite! Do you jam out with you son on BF? I do believe you may be right concerning the Battlestar Galactic issue. I know the story of the rocket but forgot the name of the toy. And yes...extremely sad circumstances. These are toys after all, no child should suffer that. Thank you for stopping by and checking out the video. You do some quality work from what I've seen on other sites. That's awesome! I'm going to have to buy a figure for a closer inspection sometime:)
@@GQJedi Yes me and Stanley play on BF a bit together 👊🏽💥, but he's been on Minecraft a bit latey and he likes this lego marvel games also, unfortunately he's been too much of a gamer on this lockdown in UK. Need to get out in the fresh air Man lol. Thank you very much regarding my work, send me a message on etsy, I'll send something your way, keep up the good work mate
Videogames have that effect on men sometimes. LOL. Fresh air is good though!! Absolutely agree with you there. Of course! I've seen and heard tons about what you do. Great stuff. No kidding? I'll have to sign up to Etsy and drop you a note. Appreciate Your support, Chris :)
As always, I know I can count on you to check out my videos. Appreciate that, Robert! And don't worry, I've got another video cooked up for you guys tomorrow, Sunday the 21st. Stay tuned!
Great video again GQ, love the bounty hunters! I always pick them up whenever I get chance, but of course Fett is my favourite as he's my favourite character in star wars full stop . Enjoyed it my friend 👍
I own a custom rocket firing Boba Fett. Was a pain getting the missile to fire, which nearly got lost in my living room twice. So now I keep the figure on a shelf without the missile in him.
There is a substantial reward for the one that finds the Millennium Falcon you may use any means necessary but I want them alive no disintegrations😁 has you wish😎👍
Awesome video GQ Jedi. Love those Bounty Hunters. Isn’t a “hollow eyes” IG-88 considered a variant? Would you consider Leia Boushh a Bounty Hunter? Keep up the great videos.
Thanks! IG-88 has 2 different mold variations. Never heard of Hollow Eyes on him. You can check on the back of the figure and look at the coo. It be different on each of the variants as the COO is slightly placed differently. Also the color is different between the 2. One has a matte finish, the other is more metallic. Boushh was a bounty hunter before he died. Leia was only using the suit, so I can't consider her a bounty hunter as it's not true. Just me. Thanks for watching. Be sure to check out tomorrow, Sunday 2/21/21 as I will be dropping another cool action figure video.
4-LOM is my guy. I don't care that you called him by his true name "Zuckuss". 4 LOM (the figure) was released as a mailaway, and when I got him it renewed my interest in SW figure collecting. I was so impressed by his robe and harness, that I knew then (sometime in late '82 or early '83) that I had to have them all; and not devote my life life to the empty pursuit of GI Joe or some other nonsense. Game changing figure here so..... He's my No. #1.
It took me a while to get all the bounty hunters. Obviously Boba got the most play as a kid, BUT I was always a fan of the Bossk figure. The sculpt on Bossk was just great. One of my favorite fun facts i learned from your vids was the IG 2 guns fact.
@@GQJedi IG was very cool too, bit growing up in the 90s I didn't have one since the only way to get it was the shadows of the empire 2 pack. It never got a single card release and I honestly don't remember seeing the shadows sets as a kid in stores
Concerning Han Solo vs Greedo. Everybody keeps making a big deal that's solo shot first and I'm not saying he didn't but what many of you fail to point out or even realize is that Greedo drew his weapon first and if Greedo wasn't talking so much he would have shot Solo. So therefore Han Solo was in the right
This video is really old so I can't remember what all I said in it concerning Greedo. But yes, he did draw first. No question. Regardless, in the end, he was a fool. Had no idea who he was messing with.

@@restock_1731 Nice! And I have to agree. Obviously:)
Yes! now you can do the bounty hunter scene from ESB! one of my favorite scenes.
It’s a memorable moment in the film!
Great you acknowledged Greedo, most don't
I had to, he's a bounty hunter!
@@GQJedi So was Amanaman...
Most people don’t know that so I left him out. And he wasn’t openly known in the trilogy films as such.
@@GQJedi All good
Love the Bounty Hunters! There a great display piece for any collection. Great Video!!
Absolutely! Can't argue with you there, friend. Thanks for tuning in!

Fett is the man! I think everyone is sitting right next to you on that "bandwagon"! LOL. Truly one of Kenner's crowning achievements!

It would have been cool to get a rocket firing Fett but it makes perfect sense why we didn’t. A boy can always dream!
"Bounty Hunters, we don't need their scum".
Bossk be like "say that to my face!"
You got that right!
So *that's* what he said!
Just from the title of this video alone, before I even watched it, I already knew it would be my fav videos of the ones I've seen so far, great job 👍🏼
Thanks for watching and the good vibes! PS. I just dropped a brand new video on the channel a few minutes ago. Check it out!
Bossk is my first kenner figure so it means a lot to me, so thank you gqj for giving us a goooood video
You're welcome!

Bossk is still my favourite of the 6 Empire Bounty Hunters. I hope we see him in the new live action stuff Disney is doing.
That would be sweet to see him pop up!
Once again great episode I enjoyed it and keep them coming. I need my daily GQ Jedi
As always, I know I can count on you to check out my videos. Appreciate that, Robert! And don't worry, I've got another video cooked up for you guys tomorrow, Sunday the 21st. Stay tuned!
Another cool video dude. I always when did why they gave Bossk a welcoming smile. You know he you would bite your hand off in real life. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanks, Tez! He absolutely would bite your head off! LOL
Great video again GQ, love the bounty hunters! I always pick them up whenever I get chance, but of course Fett is my favourite as he's my favourite character in star wars full stop .
Enjoyed it my friend 👍
Thank you, Sir! Fett is one of the best character/figures...ever. Period.
@@GQJedi yep....agreed 👌
Another awesome vid. Thanks GQJ. 😎😎😎
Thank you, Phil! Tune in Sunday (tomorrow) for the next video :)
bossk and greedo are my favs :)
Fett is still Tops for me! But I love all the bounty hunters. Bossk is prolly my 2nd Fav.
Green Space Reptiles FTW! 😉
And this is the one right here !! Get it
Everyone loves the Bounty Hunters! No doubt.
I own a custom rocket firing Boba Fett. Was a pain getting the missile to fire, which nearly got lost in my living room twice. So now I keep the figure on a shelf without the missile in him.
Smart. LOL.
Kenner should have given Greedo an orange vinyl vest.
I agree. But the og Greedo sporting his all green getup is still pretty rad IMO.
@@GQJedi Oh yeah! Love the Kenner Greedo.
POTF line did give him one. Never cared for the original Kenner Greedo, but I love the POTF version!
Great video!! 👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Video, lot informations. My next Plan is to create a bountyhunter Display in my collection.
Thumbs up for you r Chanel and collection 👍
Appreciate it, Thomas! MTFBWY
POTF2 bounty hunters were all better than the vintage ones. Really love them
Without Kenner, we would have no POTF2. I do appreciate the detail of the modern figures tho.
Love the bounty hunters got 2 sets gotta be done ✔
Nice! Got 3 full sets myself. Love them!! ;)
There is a substantial reward for the one that finds the Millennium Falcon you may use any means necessary but I want them alive no disintegrations😁 has you wish😎👍
Great quote! Enjoy your weekend, pal! :)

Like Zuckuss and 4 Lom team up
4-LOM was modeled after Zuckuss. That’s why they look similar. Makes sense to me !
4-LOM is my guy. I don't care that you called him by his true name "Zuckuss". 4 LOM (the figure) was released as a mailaway, and when I got him it renewed my interest in SW figure collecting. I was so impressed by his robe and harness, that I knew then (sometime in late '82 or early '83) that I had to have them all; and not devote my life life to the empty pursuit of GI Joe or some other nonsense. Game changing figure here so..... He's my No. #1.
I love that he’s getting some love!! That’s awesome. He’s a great action figure!
I never understood Kenner mixing up the names of those 2 bounty hunters!
Me either. Caused so much drama 🎭😅
Book Of Boba Suicide Squad
Haha! That works:)
It took me a while to get all the bounty hunters. Obviously Boba got the most play as a kid, BUT I was always a fan of the Bossk figure. The sculpt on Bossk was just great. One of my favorite fun facts i learned from your vids was the IG 2 guns fact.
Fett is a favorite, no doubt. Bossk definitely ranks #2 in my book but it’s hard to give him that outright as IG-88 is a badass too! 🔫🔥
@@GQJedi IG was very cool too, bit growing up in the 90s I didn't have one since the only way to get it was the shadows of the empire 2 pack. It never got a single card release and I honestly don't remember seeing the shadows sets as a kid in stores
SOTE. Ah yes! Cool stuff back in the 90’s. At one time I had them all.
