It is CRAZY how long it took for Hot Toys to make Battle Droids and Clones and other prequel characters. It is like as if they thought most people still hated the prequels.
It looks very accurate and better made than the sideshow ones. The sculpt is on point and the weathering doesn't disappoint. The only minor critique I have is that they haven't added the paint chips that show the white primer underneath, but other than that, I'll be picking this one up.
but I was looking forward to adding to my sandy footprints base collection! Nice to see how well designed this guy is. It is fun to see that he can be rolled into transport mold.
Welcome back, Justin! Please keep up the great work, love your detailed review on this awesome SW figures and really appreciate all the work you put behind the scenes!
This is a lot of love given to the most disposable droids in Star Wars. It makes me so happy. I almost squealed when I saw the neck retract for transport mode.
I'm very excited to get these in hand! (I bought 4 of them) Sorry if I missed this in your review, but does he have any metal parts? The feet maybe? He looks beautiful on Anakins STAP with the contrast of Geonosis colors and the blue. I'm wondering if his feet magnetize to the pedals.
You asked Justin, so I checked. Antennas is correct for what the droid has on his back. Antennae, like you said, is for bugs. Loved this review btw, I got so excited when i saw the thumbnail, even though I'm not a collector.
Beautiful figure! I do prefer the tan ones from Phantom Menace but I really want a battle droid. I’m torn on getting this one or waiting for an announcement.
Do you think Hot Toys will make the security battle droid? The one with red markings we see in Revenge of the Sith once Anakin and Obi Wan land on the Invisible Hand
So is Hot Toys making way fewer figures now, or is international shipping still messed up that it'll be a bit before these get to the US. I've never seen so many figures unavailable after the preorder window
I been buying up a-lot of Hot Toys Sixth Scale figures these past few months and always enjoy you're videos. Had to look up you're review on him because I got him earlier today and even though he does feel fragile, he's a pretty solid figure. I might keep him in Transport mode until I obtain the Super battle droid, Darth Sidious and Padme. Still debating on Mace Windu but definitely need to get Anakin and maybe down the line Count Dooku. He just doesn't seem to fit in with my KX-Enforcer Droid or IG-11 or The Mandalorian Set of figures lol
quality vid again justin.. kinda want to collect hot toys but i can't find a hot toys reseller here in the Philippines but soon i will start my hot toys collection..
Wow that battle droid is a wonderful figure plus It has so much more detail than all of my black series figures! And what’s funny is That it has the C-3PO head! And yeah you can say both antenna or antennai so it’s alright lol. But wow that is a masterpiece of a figure! 🤩
I like how hot toys didnt just make the same version as sideshow, now people who have the sideshow one can use that version jn a phantom menace display and have still have someolace to put this one
It's so tempting to grab this - but I am specifically waiting for OOM-9 (The droid commander from Episode 1). I love the original tan Droids, so if the next B1 they announce isn't OOM-9, then I'll settle with tan. Not a huge fan of the Geonosis B1 Paint Scheme. I wonder when they'll do a Super Battle Droid. I'd pay a LOT for that.
I’ve got two of these bad boys coming and I cannot wait! I plan on displaying one with C-3PO head and one regular. I really hope that the B-1 will be the CIS version of the clones and we will get variants from Hot Toys. 🤞 pick up two super battle droids and have them flank Dooku. Do you think we will ever get a Commando battle droid?
@@JustinsCollection It seems to just fit with the orange sand of Geonosis, you know? Oh, and that's how they're described to look in most officual/canon continuties of Star Wars.
Coming back to this, what is Hot Toys doing? Do they realize how well the original tan battle droids would sell, the amount of money from collectors and army builders they'd get from that version! They need to seriously consider at least announcing the regular version, because then at least we can get an estimated year time, but right now it's looking like past 2025 (for a mold they already have mind you)!
If they were full metal I'd consider getting one, really disappointing that they arn't considering the price :/ Also why not use a magnet to attach the blaster to the backpack :s Ah you said about the magnet (hadn't watched the full thing when I wrote this xD)
Would love to see a droideka!!! Especially to pair with the droids against clones
Me too!
Yes that would suit the clones plus it'd be a droid vs droid
Love the geonosis colors the best. The red rusty color is absolutely incredible
Noice!
Agreed
It is CRAZY how long it took for Hot Toys to make Battle Droids and Clones and other prequel characters. It is like as if they thought most people still hated the prequels.
Agreed it is crazy!
Very silly of them. More likely some dumb edict from Lucasfilm - from Disney essentially.
It looks very accurate and better made than the sideshow ones. The sculpt is on point and the weathering doesn't disappoint. The only minor critique I have is that they haven't added the paint chips that show the white primer underneath, but other than that, I'll be picking this one up.
Oh fair enough
but I was looking forward to adding to my sandy footprints base collection! Nice to see how well designed this guy is. It is fun to see that he can be rolled into transport mold.
Haha thank goodness it isn't included with this!
Damn beat me to it on sandy footprints! 😄
@@halfvader8015 😆🤣
Hot Toys loves their Star Wars figures for sure. Awesome review video man!
They do!
"This is such a drag!"
"I'm quite beside myself!"
Lol
I am in love with this figure the battle droids have always been my favorite
Nice!
"maybe you do want a ton of c3po heads"
ah, so you read my fanfic
Lol
Welcome back, Justin! Please keep up the great work, love your detailed review on this awesome SW figures and really appreciate all the work you put behind the scenes!
Thank you so much!
4:08 Bro straight up YEETS that outta the way XD
I sure did!
This is a lot of love given to the most disposable droids in Star Wars. It makes me so happy. I almost squealed when I saw the neck retract for transport mode.
Legit its so fun!
You know who else have thin limbs? GREVIOUS! this is a great sign that they nailed this for whenever they decide to make their version.
Lol
I'm telling you, 2025 for 20 years of Revenge of the Sith will be an insane year for Hot Toys! So damn hyped!
I ordered six, right next to my platoon of clones! Ty for showing! It was pretty cool of EA to include them in Jedi Survivor! 🎉
Woah heck yeah!
a 00M9 comander repaint would be cool, it should come with a little holographic newt gunray.
True!
perhaps, this is the ONLY hottoys i want. the classicness of it, just makes it precious
Nice!
So glad my Waitlist converted for this way back. Can't wait for mine to arrive.
Nice!
Two figures is a good number for posing, also maybe one more with C-3PO head!
Agreed!
Love and greatly appreciate all of your reviews. Thank you.
My pleasure!
I love these, but definitely can't wait for the tan ones.
Noice!
Now we need a droideka. Top notch figure and fantastic review.
We do!
Or a commando or tactical Droid.
It would be awesome if they made a two pack with a reg tan, and like a commander. Great review
Agreed!
Sweet review, they nailed it with this droid. It would be interesting if hot toys made Nute Gunray
They did!
Getting two of these myself. Hoping for repaints. I’d get a couple of the tan versions too.
Me too!
I'm very excited to get these in hand! (I bought 4 of them)
Sorry if I missed this in your review, but does he have any metal parts? The feet maybe? He looks beautiful on Anakins STAP with the contrast of Geonosis colors and the blue. I'm wondering if his feet magnetize to the pedals.
I couldn’t afford one! Lol wouldn’t 4 be around $1000 USD?
@@CodedHumor Closer to $900 with shipping and tax. I want to get one more but idk. I also got two Super Battle Droids.
@@Dcomps Cool!
Nice! No metal parts as far as I can tell
This droid specifically will go great with my Jango fett! Thanks Justin
Yep!
You asked Justin, so I checked.
Antennas is correct for what the droid has on his back.
Antennae, like you said, is for bugs.
Loved this review btw, I got so excited when i saw the thumbnail, even though I'm not a collector.
Haha heck yeah!
@@JustinsCollection Now I'm excited for the superbattle droid, hope those legs are strong cause he's a big boi!
Fingers crossed for a regular B1!
I hope so!
Beautiful figure! I do prefer the tan ones from Phantom Menace but I really want a battle droid. I’m torn on getting this one or waiting for an announcement.
Not sure why the tan ones are taking so long to be announced
battle droids are my favorite character dude
So glad they made a figure of it
Nice!
Battle droid in the Star Wars cartoon version: “But I just got my promotion!”
Lol
Cool that you can remove the plastic clip on the back pack! I feared you can’t! Thanks for showing! I have preordered two! Great figure!
My pleasure!
Do you think Hot Toys will make the security battle droid? The one with red markings we see in Revenge of the Sith once Anakin and Obi Wan land on the Invisible Hand
I would think so!
So is Hot Toys making way fewer figures now, or is international shipping still messed up that it'll be a bit before these get to the US. I've never seen so many figures unavailable after the preorder window
No idea

Awesome! Yeah he’s quite solid! I hope we get the standard color scheme ones too!
And when they finally release the c3po figure I for sure think it will come with a droid head
It does I think
what a nice figure, i hope they make a commander or tan variant so i don’t have to pay upmarks on this one since it’s sold out everywhere
I hope so too!
quality vid again justin.. kinda want to collect hot toys but i can't find a hot toys reseller here in the Philippines but soon i will start my hot toys collection..
Why thank you! I hope you find one!
@@JustinsCollection thanks justin hope to find one near in the future and to meet a fellow collectors like you..
The transport mode seems different from what we see in episode 1, is it because of the OOM models verses the B1?
Not sure
Security droids were always my favorite color scheme wise
Nice!
God I love attack of the clones.
Me too!
What are the batteries for? I just opened mine but confused on what that’s for
C-3PO's head
If you play Star Wars Battlefront a lot this color is super iconic.
Yeah!
💯% GEONOSIS agreed 👍🏻 6 or 8 will do! Nice review Justin
Heck yeah!
I want to see this model on the Republic commando color configuration
Agreed
Wow that battle droid is a wonderful figure plus It has so much more detail than all of my black series figures! And what’s funny is
That it has the C-3PO head! And yeah you can say both antenna or antennai so it’s alright lol. But wow that is a masterpiece of a figure! 🤩
It is so good!
Must buy for Prequel fans in my opinion.
Yes!
@@JustinsCollection, mine finally came in the mail today. Absolutely love this figure.
This figure is seriously cool
He is!
Will you do a review of the Aug toys 1/6 scale figure of Paul Atreides from Dune?
Sure!
I'm not much of a collector or anything like that but I'm really considering buying myself one of these
Nice!
I've been looking forward to this figure!!! Thanks for the constant uploads! 💖
My pleasure!
It's funny they add a another head for the droid since in one of the movies that same head during a battle
Yeah!
The droid beside the clones and Dooku is accurate to lore as B1s stand at 6’3, Clones are 6’ and Dooku is 6’5
Ok!
I always wanted to see a clanka review
Heck yeah!
I like how hot toys didnt just make the same version as sideshow, now people who have the sideshow one can use that version jn a phantom menace display and have still have someolace to put this one
Fair!

I wonder when they'll do a Super Battle Droid. I'd pay a LOT for that.
They also need to make general grievous, to show sideshow how is done.
Yep they are making super battle droids
@@JustinsCollection okay looks like I'll be grabbing that, then!
So fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Noice!
6:15 Why? My my do I really have to say it out loud? Well. You see theirs nothing like a field of impaled protocol droid heads to make a scene.
Lol
I like the commando pilot droid best
Nice!

cool transport mode
Yeah!
Everyone at the trade federation asks “where are those droidekas!” But nobody asks the banking clan how much one would cost.
Lol
Im waiting for the tan ones
Fair
Getting 7 so far.😅 Thanks for the review! 😊
Holy shit dude!
@@JustinsCollectionikr, I can’t even buy 1.
A Han Solo would be so cool
Agreed
Bro how do you keep getting these figs early
I get them when they release in Hong Kong, where they are made. The more accurate question is why is everyone else getting them so late?
@@JustinsCollection wow I didn’t know that.
i think best name for him is B1-0516 Bats
Lol
The plural of antenna is antennae I believe
Noice
Transport mode is so damn cool omg
Nice!
I want an original commander one w the yellow
Me too!
I'd say the Geonosian B1 Battle Droid was sonwhere inbetween maroon and burgandy.
Okie dokie!
@@JustinsCollection It seems to just fit with the orange sand of Geonosis, you know? Oh, and that's how they're described to look in most officual/canon continuties of Star Wars.
Where i can buy it
Sold out now

Yeah they make really stupid decisions sometimes
“Roger! Roger!”
Love it!
How much is it?
Link in the description
"I was programed for eduqite not destruction"
"My legs aren't moving I must need maintenance"
Love it!
If they were full metal I'd consider getting one, really disappointing that they arn't considering the price :/
Also why not use a magnet to attach the blaster to the backpack :s Ah you said about the magnet (hadn't watched the full thing when I wrote this xD)
Oh not an issue for me the metal thing
i want a droideka
Oh me too!
17:55 Sounds about right for a battle droid
Lol
Epic!!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Nice
Thanks!

Awesome toys. Shame about the price tag.
If they were cheaper then they may not be as awesome…
no. what we need is GENERAL GRIEVOUSSSSSSSSSS
We do!
Do you have a favorite variant of battle droid?
The security droids with the red markings
@@JustinsCollection Good choice! Those ones are pretty cool.
15:05 he looks like a hunch-back 😅

Listen, those droids wiped out a lot of Republic troopers.
Many of them were my friends.

Love it!
It is more sturdy than the lego battle droid
Yes lol
Roger! Roger!
Love it!
Damn! these toys are expensive
Worth it!
we can still have some sand
We can
