I'll be honest, it seems so limiting that the clone wars team gave echo just a scomp arm instead of a regular cybernetic arm like Anakin's but with a built in scomp.
I was wondering why they couldn’t have did that
@@sprayk9821 or used all those cool alternate arms from the hot toys
Yeah it would seem strange to not give the ARC Trooper two functioning arms to hold two blasters or a rifle, if they needed the scomp those New Republic security droids in The Mandalorian had them built-into their arm so even if it's technically future droid models you'd think this stuff existed during the clone war too. I think Echo with two arms and maybe a commando DC-17M would've been badass. Other gripe is the Lobot implant because clearly it's not as practical, he had to modify the helmet to wear it and they never explained why he got it or why they would need it. I like when designs look practical, everything must have some purpose but here nothing is shown to have any.
@@Shinransa exactly
Well the Seppies gave him the scomp so he could be jacked into their system. I guess he either got used to it and wanted to keep it, or they didn’t think to replace what he had with a real arm. 🤷🏻♂️
But it’s cool regardless. It makes him entirely unique among the clones.
I do like that Echo has a Kama, calling back to his days as an ARC trooper. None of the other bad batchers have it and along with the arm, he stands out. They’re all super unique designs which is why they’re some of the best designed Star Wars characters.
Technically he’s still an ARC Trooper
Echo has the best likeness and looks the coolest. I'm hoping there's another figure for season 2 with his more person looking arm attachment.
Really? I think he has the least.
@@Owen-ub3fv really? I thought Hunter would be the least
Inthink the new figures are just repaints
Found mine at Target today even though I expected to see this way later in the year. I even used their price policy to reduce the price after it was placed on a rack for the vintage collection. After a quick visit to the service desk and $12.99 later, got myself a great figure to complete my OG bad batch team. Now all I need is Omega!
Dang, a score in the wild! Great figure and looking forward to picking this up. 👍
As much as I prefer to just order online and wait for it to hit the porch these days, there's still a rush of actually finding something out and about, especially when I didn't expect it at all.
@@TheFwoosh The big plus with physically finding one in a store (if they have more than one) is getting to pick the best one.
I love Robo's enthusiasm for a new Black Series figure, and what a figure. Looks amazing. Lobot meets Robo Cop.😁
Great review. Where did you get Tech's goggles?
When I got echo the first thing that came to my mind was, “I make salute”- Anton Vanko 😂
You got me wanting to go out solely to hunt for something that might catch my eye. Great review and congrats on finishing up the Bad Batch team 😁
8:07 I was thinking more the device the bank robbers were using in Spider-Man: Homecoming, but that comparison works too. Also cut off the comma, paint the whole body black with maybe some gunmetal dry brushing on top, you've got a solid Borg figure.
Personally I would've thought they'd just make the headgear piece removable ala Lady Jaye's hair in the Classified Line, have the helmet slide on, then put the headgear back on where the gap was. Obviously I don't know if that would've been feasible, but seeing that little peg at the bottom of the helmet just looks a bit too flimsy to me.
the first thing I thought of was homecoming haha
God I love that figure!!! Can’t wait to get my preorder!
Nice!! Cool review man, cant wait to get mine.
Got mine last week, such a great figure!
Figure looks pretty good. Echo is definitely my favorite of the bad batch followed closely by Hunter
I’m not watching the full video or reading comments because I’ve not seen Bad Batch yet (or the full run of Clone Wars for that matter - I’m working on it), BUT I DID FIND THIS IN THE WILD AT WALGREENS AND DID PURCHASE HIM SIMPLY BASED ON HIS PURE BADASSARY. Firstly, I love him for his very Borg-like appearance. It *is* weird to see *such* a Borg-like Star Wars character, but damn I got over the weirdness fast. This figure is one of the best figures I own. His helmet does actually fasten, it just takes a little repositioning… and repositioning of the actual helmet, until you get a solid fit for the click-fasten to occur. So, yeah, amazing, amazing, amazing figure… and for some reason I’ve seen this thing selling as high as $84 on eBay. Insanity.
I'm going to hit every single walgreens after work... I need this dude. thanks for the heads up!
One of my Favourite toys as a kid was the old 3" Clone wars echo from 2008.
I need this. So much.
Another amazing review
Glad that I started this collection. Easily the best batch of troopers
Grabbed this man and the new Deathwatch guy at wal mart! So happy with the finds
Still trying to get all the bad batch in the wild, I have Tech and Wrecker
Another great review, Robo! I'd love to add this figure to my collection but they economy has me by the short ones. Make mine McFarlane!
Nice review always Robo, i would have learned more in my kinesiology class,
If my professor taught like you..
Love your blaster SFX 😆
I found him, omega and ahsoka at Walmart yesterday I was looking for those Thor figures and immediately grabbed these and left haha im still missing hunter and crosshair though
I got shipping notice today on mine and omega so I’m very happy
I just got echo and omega yesterday from a Walmart
Same
It looks like the arm cannon from robocop.
I just have tech and crosshair but now I feel like I need them all, they look good together.
I lucked out and found a Sealed Case on the Pallet at Walmart last Thursday. I was initially kinda surprised when I opened it and found Ahsoka and tge Client. I was Expecting it to be the Previous Wave with Boba, Fennec, Bib , Ponda, Evizan, Leia and Migs, but there was No Way I was leaving them there. It's a Great Wave. Ahsoka, the Client, and Deathwatch Mandalorian are Fantastic! Echo is Pretty Cool. I stuck his Arm Attachment on one of the Antennas of His Backpack. Omega is a Surprisingly Good figure too.
You put the helmet on wrong. Its tricky but it does fit. Also the arm piece is for Season 2. Its also included in the Echo Hot Toys figure if you want a more detailed look.
Walgreens for the score, interesting I checked here and there and not a single black series just yet. But now I have to see. Looks wicked so need this guy now. Great review
I was on that side of town again today, shelves are empty. Just so random, one showing up and the rest just having one or two old figures.
@@TheFwoosh for sure they can be and exclusive are a struggle to get by them at many times. Good hunting
I like Echo’s Bad Batch design. However it is weird that he doesn’t have Rex’s hand print anymore.
Honestly, I forgot about that
I had this exact event with walgreens somehow finding Deathwatch Mando at a walgreens in the middle of nowhere just the other day
Dude, at first I thought it was the Grand Inquisitor that appears in the Kenobi trailer XD.
Haha, now I see it too!
i found both waves at my local wal-mart and i now have both waves completed with the ones i wanted.
Claw arm is unique and wicked, Overall a great Cyborg version of an ex Arc-Trooper (Something really messed up must have happened to him that they had to replace part of his brain and an arm ?) Love the look and style, all new parts, one of my fave SW 6 inch Soldiers of all time !!! Great review as always
I got this today and as far as I know it’s my first Star Wars figure
Went to Walgreens found omega instead still pretty crazy thnx for the heads up
Excellent video. Maybe it’s time for a Star Wars display update.
Got him today he is amazing
Found Echo today here in Australia. Funnily enough, in a similar way. A couple of week's ago the east coast had reported sightings at Target and I've kept my eyes out. Not much Black Series stuff at Targets around me. Then saw today someone report that Zing had them. I saw online that a Zing store too far away from me had one. I had him on pre-order at Amazon, so I wasn't super desperate. Anyway, dropped my oldest at football training, went to my local Zing... nothing there. Target in the same shopping centre seemed to have nothing but then I somehow just caught a glimpse of Echo staring at me. They actually had 3 of him, so picked the best one from the face apps (I tell ya, some of them just slightly off centre don't look right) and got him. $10 cheaper than Zing's price as well. So I have now finished my Bad Batch team (I've not even watched the show, and I hate Clones, but these spoke to me). Not sure I really have any interest in Omega at this stage.
We seem to be having a situation where stores are getting full packouts of single figures. Around a month ago when Zing got Ahsoka from this wave. And from previous waves stores seem to get a glut of General Lando or Bo Katan. Not sure if I like it or not.
Of course, the one I want the most is The Client. Just because it's Werner Herzog. I can put him up against my George Lucas, who's head I swapped onto a Rampart body, and then just used the Stormtrooper as a regular Stormtrooper. Of course, Rampart has been on sale twice by Zing for $15 (retailed originally for $45) so I've bought at least a dozen by now to make my own Imperial officers. Hopefully he goes on sale again, feels like I need to stock up as much as possible.
I recognize those droids … 😍😍😍
Even if you find Omega you still won't have the complete bad batch, you still will need Gonky the Gonk droid to complete the team, if they ever make him lol
Love the accessories… like the arm/claw and removable helmet. They were doing them with 3.75 in figure, but not so much with the 6 in figures. Like the GI Joe figures should have removable rubber vests, they are already separate pieces; they just need to make sure they can be wore and removed - just a little more engineering. But this looks good with and without the helmet.
I saw Ashoka, the Client, Echo, and the Death Watch Mando at Walmart yesterday in Maryland. Hopefully they'll start hitting your area soon, maybe check out some Walmarts, good luck hunting them down!
Ugh, everyone is hunting in Walgreens SoCal , I’ll just wait on eBay for 212th. Congrats on the find 🥳
Yeah, I probably won't get the 212th until it either goes on the Walgreens site or eBay. Feel like I used up all my luck on Echo.
Doing this hunt today, 1/6 done and going omega already
Echos head really said "I get up and nothing gets me down"
Ever since Yakface posted the Walgreens Exclusive "212th Battalion Clone Trooper," I drove to my four nearest Walgreens with my fingers crossed. Thus far - "nada." The Walgreens I usually frequent (for regular toiletries and such) has had the same two original Jyn Erso's collecting dust. I went the next closest and found Ponda Baba (which looks amazing close up) along with Bib Fortuna. Unfortunately, I didn't need either. Third Walgreens had a single Fennec (which would have been awesome, if I hadn't just ordered on Hasbro)! Fourth Walgreens yielded nothing.
Then I checked out what the pirates are doing on eBay - a handful of listings - from CA to Philly, some Florida and a couple of other sellers in random states - $60 - $80 - Nope. I would rather do without (for my Black Series Clone collection) than pay these ding bats.
GLAD you found Echo! I ordered him on Gamestop and hope he ships quickly (now that I know some were "in the wild!" That's a great sign!
Also can't believe the Defender Strange (Marvel Legends) with portal ring is almost here (from TARGET) - whoot whoot!
Another great review Robo! I'll never understand why Hasbro has decided that kneepads should all be attached to the thigh instead of the shin. That would solve the problem with weird alignment when the thigh must be rotated to avoid crashing.
True, but is the knee pad was on bottom it would open up the articulation to most sight lines in most bent positions. With it on the thigh the articulation stays hidden except when sitting or kneeling. Not saying it's better, just my thought on what their reasoning may be.
@@TheFwoosh I heated and popped the lower legs on the few new Clone Troopers I have. Cut the peg off the back of the pad and glued it into the hole left on the upper leg, painted it to match the black body suit. It makes the pad free floating to position where you want.
@The Fwoosh Fair point! It never really bothered me but I could be in the minority on that. Can't please everyone and it won't stop me from buying them. 😁
I need this asap
I preordered echo a few months back on hasbro pulse, anybody have an idea on when they might ship out preorders?
Man with gas prices these days it would likely be cheaper for me to pay aftermarket on this guy then drive to every Walgreens around me. Lol
This is a general case release, not a Walgreens exclusive. The “current” Walgreens exclusive is the 212th Clone. :)
Thats how I see it too...I drove a 100.00 mile radius to find that 212th trooper at every walgreens and bust every one..cost me 100.00 to fill my truck back up after that hunt
I found him at Walmart so idk if that helps
I love it and if they didn’t I would love to see echo armor in CW season 7
I found echo today may 30, 2023 yay
Oh maní can’t wait to have it
I also found mine in the wild with a damaged box so I also received a ten percent discount.
7:28 what tool do use you to get the trigger finger?
Hey Fwoosh! Where did you get those custom goggles for Teck? Love your videos!
Only found mayfeld in mine. They have a thing for putting them up early
i think if you turn the neck 180 degrees it would have better looking down movement. The deluxe ROTJ boba does works like that
Man I was so excited for Echo and they really didn’t disappoint
Can you put echo arc trooper pouldron on BB echo, feel like the design is missing a pauldron especially with the signature rex hand print.
All the local walgreen stores closed in my area ( New York )
Must .....resist.....driving to every......Walgreens....in ......my.......area!!!
Awesome my bad Batch just needs bb Rex's
I need one
he makes a cool borg
Wait diiid you create the articulated icons?..im sorry I'm kinda new
Intense robocop vibes.
Man I already had the kit by skylu but I kinda want his more.
Excuse me bro what tool did you use to clip echo's finger
Go go gadget Tommy Gun! Lol 8:35
I saw him and the rest of the wave at Walmart, I bought Death Watch Mando tho
I don’t know if I just have terrible luck or if it’s just illinois. When ghostbusters afterlife came out I could not find the Walmart ghost traps or the target egon 2 pack. And now the only black series I can find is a lando and a aura sing.
Robo, if you don't mind. Where did you get the goggles for Tech?
Where did you get those goggle for tech!?
When did echo use that other arm in the show?
I'm so jealous, am in the uk and just need echo to complete my BB squad, but every website is saying Jan 2023!
My Amazon orders were saying the same until just a couple of days ago, now they say end of April/start of May. So it should be sooner for everyone. Hopefully?
They were saying the same for Ahsoka But she’s in stock in uk shops now so it’s likely we won’t have to wait too long for Echo.
Just checked and echo is on stock at staraction figures
@@timulewicz466 OMG thankyou so much for this i just ordered Echo. I hadnt heard of staraction figures before, im new to the scene. You're awesome dude! thankyou :-)
LOL...I found echo in Walgreens too...even better the cashier couldn't ring it up so she asked ME how much the figures go for...so I said $15...and I paid $15...name my own price black series
Is the Black Series 212 Battalion clone trooper (yellow) a Walgreens exclusive? I found one at my local Walgreens
Yes it is, and that's awesome you found one!
@@TheFwoosh cool! I was hopping. I don’t like buying from Walgreens unless it’s there exclusives.
echo in the thumbnail looks like that josh hutcherson whistle idk why man
I didn't think echo and omega were to be released til next year.
That was the schedule, looks like it got pushed up. Saw Dorkside is shipping out theirs too.
the walgreens i went to yesterday didnt even carry black series or marvel legends :(
Guys, I was digging through my bag of toys and spilled my tea all over all the toys.
Any idea how to dry em easy
Just got mine today and I’m telling you right now, the “arm” without the “hand” is a grenade launcher and you cannot tell me otherwise and it STAYS ON.
we need a 3.75 inch version of bad batch echo
Tech looks so much better with those goggles. 3D print or custom ?
3d print, was sent to me in the PO Box.
@@TheFwoosh nice !!thanks for the reply !!
Hi Robo
Hi!
Echo the team's human astromech.
He looks kind of like robocop
I think there's a mis coloration on your echos robot arm, the connector of the arm and the actual robot arm should be the same color
Found the wave at Walmart myself
I saw Echo and his entire wave at a Target... and they didn't scan.
I had hope and then it was taken away :(
Knee pads look different because Echos legs are actually robotic, this is something Hasbro could have easily glossed over given their recent history of ignoring these kinds of details. Fair play to them they seem to have done their homework with this one
Also, robotic legs kind of explains the height difference 😂
Could you do a compilation of “don’t put them in your mouth” clips? That would be hilarious
3:58, man the hinge on mine is fuckin stuck. Like, I don't wanna try too hard to bend it and end up breaking it off.
I think the claw thingy is based on concept art…
The Hot Toys figure has the same thing…
Wow I am here 1 miniute
