4:10 The electrocuted helmet looks like something from the Black Series deluxe big sets, with little lightning pieces, for example the last Command set.
As a LEGO fan myself, I think companies are already aware of fans' reactions to 'The Acolyte,' and not even LEGO wanted to make and sell the sets.
On the other hand, a single Lego set was made for 'Star Wars: Skeleton Crew' and released before the show even aired, which shows toy companies distancing themselves from 'The Acolyte' merchandise.
Even on Amazon, the Black Series Acolyte merchandise was sold out, indicating the limited quantity made for that show.
@@nebulavoyager21 My sentiments exactly. It’s a nice add in but if I were to go after it, I’d probably decide to opt out of the deluxe as I would never use that head sculpt.
I saw something saying Hasbro has potentially pulled figures from the show from their TVC line due to its reception. If the cheaper lines stay away, I’d say Hot Toys is likely to as well.
I don’t think they will give us a leather Vader anytime soon. Even the new BD Vader has some pleather parts besides the Nylon
@@malekith8447 I agree. Once they do that, collectors won’t have a reason to keep buying them.
This vader looks amazing and shaw is the vader i grew up with but the obi wan vader for me looks the best. New hope vader is always my favourite and rogue one/obi one is basically it. So the obi wan vader and the battle damaged anakin one is it for me. I just think thr anakin battle damaged face looks more mean and i love the wires and exposed parts. If i had unlimited money and space id get them all obviously.
@@alibear73 Yeah that’s where I’m at. Sebastian is so iconic, that in a way I’m okay with not getting it because it feels like I’ve been able to appreciate him as Vader for so long in multiple medias. Weird I know lol. But yeah I agree, if I could have everything, I’d have this for sure.
@DarthTamarus I totally agree. I don't feel the need to have every character in action figure form even if I love them. Space and money are good limits for me. Every figure I have is like a grail to me. There are none that I would get rid of to make more space. My star wars collection is actually almost done. 5 more figures i need tops.
@@alibear73 I have a few I would replace for other versions. I’m still torn as to whether I want to move on TCW Maul and get the new TPM Maul but in my head, I think Maul was more of a character in TCW so that has more weight even though the former is more iconic. There are a couple of figures I’d probably never get rid of but you’re probably a much more established collector than me 😂
@DarthTamarus lol for me uts always maul from tpm. Tcw maul is maul with no balls lol that's the thing with collecting everyone's tastes and reasons are different. ..and then there's hoarding lol
@@alibear73 I feel it’s very easy for some to become too engrossed in this hobby to a point where it becomes financially irresponsible. You don’t need to have 20+ figures on PO imo. Even if I had the space, that just seems kind of ridiculous.
Listen man zero disrespect I love your channel and I don’t want to be “that guy” but I hated on the acolyte too before seeing it and ever halfway through the show and I’ll admit. it’s still not by any means great Star Wars however it was a good story honestly (at least a one time watch type show, I won’t be rewatching it but I am hoping for a season 2) but I was surprised by the end how much I enjoyed it considering I went in with a negative and petty mindset 😂 but I was in the same mindset as you before my girlfriend forced me to watch it and I hate that I hate to admit it was actually okay 😅😂
@@curtisboothe1763 None taken man. I’m glad you enjoyed it. For someone to change their perspective on something and admit it takes a lot. Maybe I’ll come around to it when it all blows over, maybe not. Never say never, right? 😂 Anyway, thanks for watching and leaving your feedback. 🫡
Well I watched the acolyte with an open mind and saw it to the end. The first episode was ok and the last one was good. The fight at the end was pretty good like a video game boss fight but all the episodes in-between I thought were terrible. The decisions people make are so dumb. Let's send a powerful prison in a ship with just droids? Let's have prisoners in a prison with their gadgets still on them? One minute I can use my force powers to hold up a bridge but not two little girls? So much dumb inconsistency. But figures are separate. To me it doesn't matter if I like a show or not it doesn't effect if I buy the figures. If the figures look good to me I'll get them. Also if I love a show but the figures are bad I won't get them.
@@alibear73 Yeah on a positive note, I did hear a lot of good things about the ending of the show and admittedly, it didn’t look too bad. For me, I don’t really like investing money into things I’m not super in love with. Especially something as expensive as this hobby, so I wouldn’t feel compelled to buy any of the other named characters from the show. Also, sometimes I have to make a conscious choice to disconnect the figure/character from the source material so that I can appreciate it more. For example Cad Bane from TBOBF. The figure is remarkable but the show was not and I still find a way to enjoy it, mostly because I really like Cad Bane I reckon.
