Alright alright I have finally committed to modifying my figures for the first time (our video was Nate) and have purchased an $8 Gideon! The Cubic3DPrints were a great addition as well! Nice video. -Justin
Hold up Justin, YOU’RE customizing your figures!? If you can do it, I might just have to do the thigh swaps myself then…
I never thought this would be my legacy but here we are
Lol, I might have to try this though
Luke single handedly selling more Revas than the whole Obi Wan show.
Pro tip: you can instead fix Starkiller's ridiculous long thighs by swapping with Baylan's short thighs, so no need to buy an extra Reva. Makes a world of difference on both
Oh, so it fixes both figures? Hmmm....
Maybe the entire problem was a mix up at the factory, lol.
can confirm, Baylan and Starkiller are now the proper heights, but unless i did something wrong, Baylans legs are t i g h t and Starkillers are l o o s e,
ill also add that you can use the armorers thighs to fix Shin, though again mine ended up pretty l o o s e.
I was totally expecting the metal riff with the heat gun 😂
Haha, I completely spaced on that. Or....the heat gun was malfunctioning! Yeah, that's it!
I just assumed you were tired of it lol
NEVER tired of metal riffs!
@@RoboDontKnowsee… I knew you were good people.
I recommend hitting Shin's armor with Vallejo Oily Steel and Baylan's with Vallejo gunmetal. Makes them both look much better!
Thanks for the tips!
Moff Gideon on sale on BBTS today for $6.90.
Even better!
Thanks Robo for showing us how it's done...they look great!
When I saw Landspeeder Luke's fix, I was surprised how easy it looked. So often these types of fixes need you to have an entire tool shed to do! These look so much better now!
I will never not make this joke: Shin Hati? More like Shin HEIGHTY am I right?
it just sucks that you can't put baylon and shin's thighs on the other figures (the ball pegs are too small and they end up with wobbly legs). I think hasbro should offer to send out free thigh part replacement pieces that are the proper length for those who have these figures.
I don't care about star wars but it's nice to see customizing tutorials like this.
I'm just glad it's a pretty easy part switch for both. Im late on this, as well as both my figures just shipped via BBTS POL. Solid run-down Robo!
I did this mod with my copies and it makes them so much better. I actually the Lightsaber blades right after seeing the last Play Day. It is a shame we have to modify these two to make them good.
I did the same mod, but if you shave a bit of plastic off the upper thigh part of the Reva leg where the peg holes are, it gives enough clearance to let the legs sit normally and you don't have to rotate the upper part around. For shin I used the legs from whats her face from Andor, Mon Mothma's cousin whatever her name was. Perfect size, color and there's a bit of overhang that you can easily glue Shin's kneepads onto without needing to dremel anything. Now to track down more solid lightsaber hilts to replace the gummy ones they come with.
*YES!!! More Robo reviews!!!*
Alright this doesn't look too complicated, maybe I'll give it a try. Thanks for the helpful videos as always.
I recommend getting an electric tea kettle for out in your shop. I used to have to do the same thing by boiling and popping in the kitchen and then transporting everything outside to my shop. The electric kettle gets water more than hot enough to pop off any parts you need to
Yup, that or a microwave is on the long long list of things I gotta add to the workspace.
At the beginning you said " Let's get" and the slight pause made me go " Dangerous! " Disney Channel and Darkwing Duck ruled my binge watching many years ago. Great video sir!
Ok, after watching this yesterday I decided to give this a try. Last night I found a spare Giddeon in my stash so I’m good there. Today, miraculously all the rest fell into place. I made a trip to my local Ollie’s and as expected I found a Reva for $5.99. They had about 10 of them there…🤮. Then I went to Walmart, and talk about miracles….on the peg next to the rotting away Landos (5 of them) and Greef Kargas (4 of them) were 1 brand new and mint Baylon Skoll and Shin Hati! I was like WTF! Those were the first two new Black Series figures I’ve seen in that Walmart in over 6 months and they just so happened to be the exact figures I was looking for. And they had the correct “orange” lightsabers. Now I don’t want to open them because they’re so rare, but after all that coming together like that I owe it to myself now to complete this leg transfer. Damm I’m a rambling old man….wish me luck….😏
3/8/24 Update: Success! Thanks to Landspeeder Luke for the brilliant research and solution, the fellas at OOTB for a quick shot reminder, and lastly to Robo for the detailed video and motivation. Baylan turns out to be just under a head taller than Shin, who turns out to be just a smidge taller than Sabine. So the scale is way better! The only problem now is Hot Toys rolled out their near perfect lifelike figures of Baylan and Shin yesterday, and when I look at that Shin Hot Toy and compare it to this effort from Hasbro it’s like comparing a $90 porterhouse steak at a fine restaurant to a $2.99 cheeseburger at Burger King. I’m now depressed and disgusted with myself for collecting Hasbro’s garbage instead of Hot Toys….🤦🏻♂️
Woah - did you know they would sell a robe Baylon ? You a smart Robo Cookie
Now you just need a new face for Shin. It’s a shame the figures face doesn’t look much like the actress
The actress playing Sabine is shorter than the actress playing Shin. By more than 2 inches. The original figure height is not far off.
For my Ray Stevenson fix, I used the thighs from the Knight of Ren figure. Raises Baylen a bunch, is already black, fits the hips perfectly. Don't need to reverse the thighs to hide anything.
And as you can see at the end, she's still taller than Sabine. Just not an odd off amount as right out of the box. 2 inches in 1/12 scale is 1/6 of an inch.
Does the knight of ren have the single jointed legs?
I ended up using the book of boba Fett Luke for Shin, going to try a knight of Ren for Baylan
I never saw either of these figures but if I do, I have an extra Gideon and Reva. If I don't have an extra Reva, I don't mind sacrificing that figure at all.
That works out pretty well. I used to make lemonade often but those lemons are getting pricey so i don't do it as much as I used to.
I cut out a lot of other lines and releases, just focusing on what I really really want, so it kinda all balances out.
@@RoboDontKnow yup same. I'm currently focused on making a good superman. I gotta say I'm tempted to get these and do this mod cause I did love there characters.
Now to get a shin ati custom head. “Look at how they massacred my girl!”
That may be on the list too.
@@RoboDontKnowI used Vallejo 856 Ochre Brown to do a light brown wash on her hair and give it some definition, along with a dab at the crown to match the bleach job. Also dotted near the end of her braid with flat black.
With the Baylan figure, it's not so much of a "fix" as a "fudge." The single biggest problem with the figure isn't the legs being too short. It's the torso being too small.
But, there's no easy fix for that. So the leg swap will have to do.
The Hot tub montage made the part popping so much more fun
I was not expecting to find these a day after watching and posting on your video. I did the same swap for Shin but I used the stupid Knights of Ren figure to do the thigh swap. That one works too. I think I like it better because it looks like it has thigh armor that matches his torso but his knees also bend forward. I guess he can now have a broken leg.
We should not need to do but it is what it is right lol I don't have baylon or shin yet, but thanks to landspeederluke for the reva thigh swap & thanks to outofbasement for the Gideon thigh swap for shin,great vid robo, keep up the great work
Great video! Just did the swap on my shin, but i'm still waiting for my Baylan to get here.
Thanks robo for the pop and swap video it almost encourages me to do the leg swaps on my copies but I think I will just change the blades to red since the are not 100 percent accurate.
I picked up an extra Papa Bear Baylan to custom MCU Volstagg.
For the time being, I now have Darth Hector and Admiral Poopdeck Pappy, since I grabbed the last Shipwreck a few days before.
The head is a hair small on Ship’s body, so I’m sure it’s gonna be tiny on whichever body I use for Volstagg, so I’ll need to add plenty of volume to his hair.
Weird how I can justify $25 for JUST a head, but not the R5? 🤦♂️😂
Also, no James Brown Hot Tub Party Tribute?
Well, Well, WELL!
Kylo Ren Supreme (with sour cream) and Dark Rey have cloaks that fit the 'adjusted' heights for these two figs!
I think I have both of those somewhere!
Definitely paint those robes. I've been wanting to do this mod, but I'm not going to pay full price for any of the 4 figures.
Shin Hati is about 3 inches taller than Sabine according to the actors heights, so this figures are scaled nicely
Have you seen they messed up the knee pin placement on Glavis Mando? Same utter fkk up as Deluxe Boba. I can't imagine why that was done, they don't get the knee joint placement wrong on other single joint figures.
Knee pin/joint placement?
@@RoboDontKnow The point where the leg bends. It doesnt bend at the knee, it bends just below the knee position. The more you bend it the shorter the lower leg look and the longer the upper looks. Same as deluxe Boba. Oddly they get it right on Bo Katan. It's a bafflingly bad bit of design that has now ruined two of the otherwise best figures for me, mainly because there is literally no excuse for it. It makes any extreme Action poses basically laughable looking. See here at 22:45 - ruclips.net/video/9b9LHGPpxxw/видео.html
I did this using Luke's video a few weeks back, but I had to support Robo by watching the whole thing! I also just like hearing your takes. Robo! Are you planning to review the new Mafex Mando?
I just got it in the mail, hope to give it a look over the weekend!
@@RoboDontKnow You're in for a treat! I got it last night and love it!
So jarring to see the heat gun come out and not hear the music
shin doesn't really need modifications, she is more or less the correct height, she is taller(5'8") than sabine and ashoka ( both 5'7") in real life. Baylon however was made too short as he is 6'3".
When I saw all the changes that needed to be made, I cancelled my pre-orders on these 2 to wait on a sale since I’d have to buy additional figures to chop up for the custom. But bizarrely Baylon is very hard to find at retail despite being universally disliked. Maybe something to do with the untimely passing of Ray Stevenson
Universally disliked figure or character? I haven't seen much hate for the character.
@@RoboDontKnow Figure! I loved the character
1:29 Too Hot In The Hot Tub, Gonna Make Me Sweat!
When will my Shin ship from BBTS 😩
has anybody tried to swap marrok's legs with baylan's?
Is it wrong that I'm more aggrieved that my Baylan came with a red lightsaber, rather than the height issue? I fixed the height with a $10 toy but I'm gonna have to buy a full figure to fix the saber colour, as I'm not in the US. Man I'm dirty about that.
Bought Baylin from Walmart last night knowing the issues with he height. Luckily, there are plenty of videos of how to fix it.
Oh yeah, lots of options.
@RoboDontKnow now just need to figure out how to make him a little wider at the shoulders.
@@jeromefrady794 Luke used some black poster tack to bulk the shoulders up to push the pads out a bit, I may end up doing that too.
I just did mine a day or so back. Used Reva thighs on Baylan, and Vel from Andor on Shinn. Just basic heat n pop.
Leaving this comment before I watch. Curious what YOU did, for sure.
How are the Vel legs? I saw someone use those too but didn't see the final result.
@@RoboDontKnow They work, for sure. Wound up going with Sabine though… those thighs are a tad shorter.
Absolutely try Vel though. Worth your time to try it out.
@@RoboDontKnow Oh, and I gave up on the Reva thing and used the 2pk Cobb Vanth 😀. For now at least.
GREAT FIX ! ( Hasbro is shamed.)
I wanted to grab the Shin Hat6i figure for my display of hardcore lady badasses, but she doesn't have her scene girl eyeliner like in the show...she's just not the same
While I totally agree that this type of mistake is unacceptable and should never happened especially for collector toys we're paying $20-25+ for and Hasbro should absolutely be held accountable, I admit, theres something I enjoy about kit bashing and pop n swapping. This is the first time I've not hated the single joint knees.
Especially the concept of having to buy additional figures to fix the mistake.
Damn it's been 1 year of not buying Black Series figure. What the hell happened to me?
Like Luke said, I feel like it was something at the factory or something. They didn’t make them six inch scale but just six inches.
That could be a thing too. Maybe they produced them at the McFarlane or Loyal Subjects factory, teehee.
@@RoboDontKnow the toy Illuminati at it again
Excited to do this 👌
Yeah there's a Walmart Exclusive Black Series Baylan with his Robe coming out. LoL
Heh, yeah, but it's the exact same short figure, I'll just buy a nice robe for my fixed Baylan and call it good.
@@RoboDontKnow Yeah you are probably better off just buying a robe on eBay
The actors that play Shin and Hera are both 173cm. The actors that play Ahsoka and Sabine are both 170cm. The actor that plays Reva is only 165cm. I find it hilarious that the shortest actor has the tallest figure yet there's never been 1 compliant 🤣🤣🤣
Baylon still looks too thin.
Yup, his proportions are still thin. And I'd also like to drop the belt some but that opens up the gap for the articulation.
@@RoboDontKnow I definitely see a 2.0 coming for both figures.
I'll just wait for Figuarts
Heh, because these are high profile characters that Bandai will definitely get to and Figuarts never gets scale wrong.
@@RoboDontKnow I think these characters are going to/have become fan favorites especially Shinn. Figuarts usually comes small so the scale should be good imo. Also, Figuarts face printing along with there great proportionate sculpts will make these worth the wait.
Hasbro ought to be ashamed of themselves.
You shouldn't have to "fix" these. If hasbro just took the time to research the height of each character this wouldn't be an issue. For 25 bucks I shouldn't have to do a damn thing to my figure other than enjoy it.
I said that....
It's sad that Robo has to tear up some of his figures just to fix other figures. What kind of barbaric world are we living in?! 😖
Ter que comprar o boneco e fazer tudo isso pra ele ficar minimamente aceitável é PUTARIA!
Black series needs to STOP using opaque for their lightsabers, just use CLEAR TRANSLUCENT PLASTIC
Next up, replace Ms. Swan headsculpt. She looks like a 12 year old that got into Moms makeup drawer. 🤡
Shin has always been a Blade Runner Pris Cosplayer to me.
Now go fix the actual show
huh huh huh huh
I've seen everyone's mod...but personally, I'll be cutting and using epoxy sculpt and not using limb replacements. For me it'll take about the same amount of time; possibly less,l and sculpt the add-on or missing areas to my liking. Cool that people have options to correct this lame mistake....👍
