So cool that they put the picture of Sebastian Shaw as Anakin on the card back! I thought he did a great job playing Anakin in the Return of the Jedi. These cards are fantastic for sure! Very cool that they glow in the dark! When I was a kid, anything that glowed in the dark was super rad. I still like it. The card looks so much like the original cards that it looks like it would fit right in with a MOC collection. He's good about making sure that it is never confused for an original Kenner by putting his Stan Solo logo on it. I have the Obi Wan Kenobi Force Ghost from Power of the Force 2's line. He doesn't glow in the dark but looks pretty cool. I'd love to have these glow in the dark ones. Cool video!
Very cool I'm glad you kept this channel going and progressing what's the stand solo and other custom action figure makers. Thanks for your reviews and once again another great video
3 very cool images on those! Great seeing the Sebastian Shaw image...To me he is Vader..He's the one I seen as a kid long before I knew of Dave or James Earl..I've a few Stan Solo mocs, the older ones are starting to go yellow now, not sure why ? but my original vtg early 80s mocs I've had for at least 25 years in the same place are still clear..I'd feel better about buying more Stan Mocs if I thought they'd have better lasting bubbles, so I stick to loose now from StanSolo. Gonna pick up Ani for sure.
You're literally the first person I've ever heard of having SS MOCs with bubbles that are starting to yellow. That's weird. Can't go wrong with the loose collection though. I personally have a ton of loose figures in my displays.
Stans atromechs are superb looking, some stunning little droids, they are what I look to buy from him! & yeah, I did see a yellowed bubble stan Luke or Han storm moc on Ebay before xmas past, stands to reason though, plastics will yellow in time no matter which type used, also dependent on which gasses are being emitted from which plastic used on the figures and which & how much paints used on the figs within the bubbles too.Unavoidable with time, saying this I have a few crystal clear from 78 -85. Mad! @@GQJedi
Your show is refreshing because you actually talk about toys/collectibles instead of just complaining about stupid stuff. Love those Force ghost figs, btw. Beautiful!
Awesome! Stan Solo figures are absolutely amazing! I appreciate all of the videos you are doing, they are amazing as well. Great job! Thank you, take care.
Im new here and very interested. What are exactly Stan Solo figures? Are they official Star Wars? Customs? Worth the same as any vintage piece? They are fascinating and any help and information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
Welcome to the channel! FYI - I post new content every Saturday morning so be sure to turn on your notifications. All great questions. Stan Solo is a custom action figure maker who has been around for several years now. His figures are all factory made in the retro vintage Kenner style. They are not worth as much as vintage Kenner since they are not decades old and are not a part of the original Kenner 77- 85 line. In the description of this video there are links which will take you straight to the website, where you can check out the collection of figures that Stan Solo makes and currently has in stock. If you are looking for amazing figures that look and feel just like Kenner, look no further. Be sure to check out all my other Stan Solo toy reviews within the channel. Hope that helps.
I agree, nothing beats the ORIGINAL Trilogy. Of course, "Empire" is the BEST and my favorite(also my favorite score by John Williams), saw that when it first came to theaters in 1980 when I was 6 years old. Not a huge fan of the Special Editions, Jedi is not good and has the most awful changes. NOW The theatrical version of "Jedi" is awesome. Can't leave well enough alone.
ROTJ special edition is the worst of the trilogy. George should've left that alone. The Max Rebo bit is awful now and taking out Yub Nub on Endor is also unforgivable. Yikes. Empire had the least amount of changes to it and incidentally it is also my favorite film of the OT.
@@GQJedi Yes, the song Lapti Nek is great, "Jedi Rocks" is not. Making the Pit of Carkoon a "venus fly trap" creature was beyond stupid. The original "Ewok Celebration" is so much better. He should've never touched anything Williams did. That's why the theatrical release of the film and score are so superior. Yes, everything "Empire" RULES!
I admit that I don't collect vintage-style Star Wars figures (I do have some 6-inch Star Wars Black figures only from the Episode 1-6 and the Expanded Universe era though) but these look amazing, they glow in the dark and I'm glad that Stan Solo used Sebastian Shaw to represent Anakin instead.
Stan Solo makes quality figures. Best there is next to the old school Kenner. I’m jazzed as well that SS used Sebastian Shaw. Shaw is the og Anakin and that’s what we grew up with. I agree with you 100%.
There's been so many times in my adult collecting that I look back at all the figures and playsets etc that I had in my youth that got away from me, or that I passed up on while still in stores or being sold in the late '80s early '90s... Wishing I would have kept them in the boxes or on the cards, or picked them up when I saw them for basically next to nothing (compared to today's prices). Really cool that you're able to secure these guys in MOC form during the SS restock. I have to be honest though, I learned something new during this video, that these guys glow in the dark!!! Lol. I've had my loose figures for some time now and never realized that these were glow in the dark figures. 😅. So it was a welcome surprise to find this out today. I just can't get over how awesome the SS offerings are, wishing I would have picked up more of them along the way, but certainly am not missing them now as they're released. Keep 'em coming Chris!!! Always looking forward to seeing these featured on your channel GQ. ❤️
Not sure what you’re expecting to pay. These are custom made factory figures. Stan Solo isn’t a huge company and doesn’t produce millions of units. Cost is relative to production cost and units made for distribution.
i get why they are making the ghosts translucent blue, is there a way maybe they could make them look like the character, on obi wan's board, he isn't blue per se, but he has a blue outline?, could they somehow make a translucent figure, but use the original paint colors? i dont know, there might be, i would have to think of how to make it look ethereal
i get some custom figures from makers , and i look at them and i am like, cool, but then i am like, they would be cooler on a card, so thanks to stan solo for putting some on cards for people
I remember the 90's cinema set ghost figure 3-pack. I must admit that I am not a fan of these ghost figures. The Stan Solo cards look great, but I don't like ghost figures. I guess that I am not a ghost buster fan 😉🙂
I had the 3 pack you're referring to back when I still collected modern. To each their own. Plenty of Stan Solo stuff to love if these don't tickle your fancy. Speaking of which, I have a few more Stan Solo figures I'm doing reviews on for new additions to the Stan Solo line. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for those!
Have to say I am not a custom Stan solo or any other modren sw collector. I'm strictly vintage kenner. However, I would pick these up lovely little sets to collect. Hasbro loose again
You gotta collect what you like. That's my motto. But if you dig Kenner Star Wars, I think you may want to check out the Stan Solo collection a little closer. You may find some gems like these that will tickle your fancy. I also have some more brand new Stan Solo action figures that I'm reviewing in the coming weeks!
Just looked and he’s got astromechs in stock! I always said I’d start a collection if I can grab some astros, but they were always out of stock. Let me grab old R3-M3 and I’ll report back when that bad boy is in my mits.
I love to hear that! Everything Stan Solo makes is nothing short of perfection. I have a massive collection of SS figures. You're missing out if you don't have any yet. You will be more than pleasantly surprised when you finally get to hold one of these in your hand. Just like Kenner. No joke! Blows my mind every single time I get a new one. Like being a kid again.
@@GQJedi I hear you man. I collect other stuff and there’s nothing like opening a box to find something you’ve coveted for ages. Well there is, but that’s not for RUclips haha. Mate, I collect Lego, model railway stuff, old mics and amps and comics, so I love collecting. I’ve fancied getting figures for some time now especially after watching you unbox stuff. I’m in man. I’d better get that droid now or they’ll run out again. I’ll upload a video when I receive and open it and link you. Cheers GQ.
How can you say you’re “OG” Kenner when you’re buying fake crappy figures from Stan Solo?? I can’t even tell the difference between the ghost Obi figure and Anakin figure cuz they’re so bad.
There's nothing fake or crappy about these. You're entitled to your opinion of course but if you're going to be a negative nancy, keep that to yourself. You sound like a spoiled child.
Hasbro has blown it time and time again. Often just pumping out a zillion versions of the same figures. Farmboy Luke being one that comes to mind immediately.
Bought a whole bunch of Stan Solo last and already this year. I also own the loose glow-in-the-dark Jedi Master Ghost trio. This video triggered me to order all three of them carded yesterday - and a few others like the Imperial Technician and the three carded Jawas. I still have my Kenner figures from childhood days, which I am also trying to complete. Not only does Stan Solo make them figures in the same Kenner style, IMHO they are at the very least equal and likely superior to Kenner quality-wise. Just look at their movie-accurate Boba Fett action figures! If someone claims that Stan Solo makes crap they apparently never cared to take a serious look at them. I almost feel sad for them, as they really don’t know what they are actually missing!
@Karamojo7mm - I hear you, pal! As for myself, I own the entire Kenner original line of toys. I think Stan Solo makes superior customs that are exactly like Kenner except they weren't made decades ago. They blend in very well with the original vintage figures. People that comment in a negative manner towards Stan Solo in any way or try to challenge me in some fashion, typically are haters of Stan Solo and are in the "no repro" club. Those types are lurking about my channel a lot and like to talk trash and try to engage with me about my collection views. Comments like the one above in this thread are hilarious to me. I collect what I want and see no problem with others doing the same. I've made a few videos about these self entitled elitist collectors who look down on others for collecting anything that wasn't made in the 77-85 era. Again, utterly ridiculous. You simply can't tell another grown man what or how to collect. I don't stand for that BS. And since I own the entire line of toys made by Kenner, I see no reason to not add more awesome, quality factory made figures to the mix. I agree with all your statements! And I'm happy to see your stoked about Stan Solo and if my videos helped pushed you over the line, that's awesome. I like to share all the stuff that is out in the community with my subscribers. Take it or leave it. Just don't tell me or other collectors how to collect. This hobby doesn't need anymore drama.

Gotta go with Sebastian if you're going old school Kenner.
Stan Solo has knocked it out of the park once again. Chris and John are true fans and it shows.
I couldn't agree more, PR! Thank the maker!
The real Anakin force ghost. None of that Hayden Christention revisionist BS!
Yessir. The real OG Anakin that we grew up with!
Wow, awesome figures. It's crazy how authentic looking SS makes the cardbacks and packaging. Really cool.
That’s what makes him the best in the industry of making custom action figures.
Great unboxing video - as always!
Thank you, Sir!! Appreciate the good vibes.
Stan Solo does amazing work.
I agree 100000% !
Thank you GQ, Stan Solo is a great creator of the Kenner line. He is the one of the to follow.
He’s the best there is! I love all his creations. There are plenty of my reviews of his collection peppered throughout my channel. Cheers!
How did they get the license to do these
I don’t work for them but you could always write the company if that matters to you.
I love that he just gets us! The cool creatuins just keep coming!
Stan Solo absolutely knows what we want! I agree.
Very cool I'm glad you kept this channel going and progressing what's the stand solo and other custom action figure makers. Thanks for your reviews and once again another great video

Glad to see that it's actually Sebastian Shaw rather than Hayden Christensen's likeness as the Jedi Force Ghost of Anakin Skywalker.

Beauties ! So tempting !
Nothing stopping you but you, man :)
Absolutely awesome. The cardbacks are sick.
Yessir. That they are.
i have the joda on card but find the card not so well printed so i bought the other loose ones.
That’s interesting. These cards are as close to Kenner as you’ll ever get.
the cards say jedi ghost, should they say Force ghost?
Not sure why they're labeled as such.

Paint the figures in normal colors with either translucent paint and plastic or a translucent blue glaze clearcoat.
