Every week Nate and Justin come together to talk about mainly Star Wars the Black Series. Reviews, news, rumors, announcements, lists, vlogs, small topics, and more!

These Black Series retrospectives are initially how I discovered this channel so it’s always a treat when a new episode came out! I recall when Jango came out, I wasn’t big on collecting BS yet (was still riding that old dying Vintage Collection wave) but seeing a recognizable face on the shelf made him an instant grab and I think he was actually one of my first ten Black Series figures.
Wow really? That's actually pretty cool to hear. For whatever reason I wouldn't expect someone's first impression of the channel to be a retrospective but here we are! -Justin
Man, I’m glad I have the newer Jango. That initial headsculpt is ROUGH.
Also, I want Hasbro to redo that Shadow Squadron set with new sculpts. Would be so much better!
New sculpts for everything mentioned please! Jango would be awesome. Thanks for watching, Zoo! -Justin
Jango was one of my favs growing up and playing Bounty Hunter increased it. I was so happy when that figure came out; for the time it was good. That being said, we badly need a retooled one. Can’t sit for the next round when you move into the sea of figures that is the Rogue One waves!
Yeah we definitely need a new Jango! I feel like the pieces are there for the most part. -Justin
I was as hype for Awakens as I was Menace. Both are awkward but have entertaining elements. Visually very interesting. If Hasbro made Captain Sidon now, it sells well. Awakens was at least hinting at potential. Then Glass of Onion half empty happened. I liked Finn. He and Poe and Rey seemed to have a chemistry. I wish they were given a chance to realize it. Their story was told apart more than together. It’s a shame. Figure wise I ate it up. I still have a large amount of Sequel figures. Even as bad figures their designs resonated with me. I don’t remember seeing Jango as a glimmer of hope. It was an ok figure then that hasn’t aged well. His holster and guns were cool.
Sidon Ithano would be awesome! I loved Finn in TFA, I hate that he was downgraded to comedic relief in the subsequent films. The idea of a Stormtrooper turning rogue is awesome. -Justin
I'm not having this "Dark Ages" shite about this time in the line! This is literally the best time the Black Series ever had!! A: I started to collect it at this point, and B: There was actually figures in shops in England!! ToysRuss had them everywhere and I managed to get my first BS figure, FN-2187 in an English grocery store-Tesco!! I genuinely cannot say a bad word about this period. It was a GREAT time to be alive and starting to collect! I think my second figgy was the Flame-O? It only got better as the Red/Black box line continued with Rogue One!!
AND.... I still love my Mango Jango figure!! I don't think he's ever fallen over and he still looks absolutely BAD AF to this day in the simple Gunslinger pose I have him in!
Hey Davey...IT'S THE DARK TIMES! Yeaaaaaah baby! -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement It's not!! It was the Good Times!!
Love these ! I ve got a lot of your videos to catch up on this week after a bunch of crazy so I can’t wait ! Another banger Nate and Justin
Glad you like them! Take care. -Justin
Its amazing how figures went from looking like blown up 3.75" figures to rivaling SH Figuarts in some cases. Hasbro really stepped it up.
100% agreed. -Justin
Why are all of the Solo movie figures some of the best Black Series figures ever made? I just bought a couple Molochs are those figures are fantastic!
It's around the time they started doing really nice photo-real deco! -Justin
I got Jango back when the Mando series released and I still have him. My first Black Series figure
Still have mine as well! -Justin
I was originally a "COVID collector" so I wasn't around for this era but I did end up buying most of these sequel/R1/Solo figures that came out in that time period when I first started collecting in 2020. Most of them were still available on Amazon for less than retail at that time; or eBay. I don't display ST stuff anymore; except for one shelf of troopers. Oddly enough I never got that flame trooper. I would love them to do any entirely new updated FO stormtrooper as I actually really dig that trooper design. I have the photo real gaming greats release of Jango in my display still .. hope he gets a do over soon too.
Thanks for sharing your story, Kaleb! I do believe most of those are STILL under retail at this point. I do agree, the FO Flametrooper is actually a pretty cool design. -Justin
This is just right before I started collecting. It was definitely a more challenging time with few gems of hope. It’s just hard to fathom how far we’ve come. Absolutely loving the retrospective series!
Glad you enjoy the series! -Justin
to be fair to that Pharma, at the time she was really hard to find and going for a lot on the aftermarket. At the time.
Oh yeah. The least offensive refresh of those early waves for sure! I kind of struggled to find her myself. -Justin
Another fun look back at an older wave. I still have a few of my ST figures - mostly troopers - but I'm very close to purging most of the last of them, cos I badly need space for much better figures.
Thanks for watching, Banzai! Have a great weekend. -Justin
Thanks! You too!
Ah, yes..Jango at release was so good. Much like Pre Vizla....they look really good, but do not hold up to current criteria of the line.
I agree on the memory aspect. The red boxes where still new and felt fancy and the overall joy at the time from the force awakens just really amped up collecting the line for me during this time frame.
Awesome FIO episode guys. Thanks for sharing this retrospectives. As a long time collector its always fun to revisit this era with others like you guys who got to experience it as well.
Crazy to think at one point we thought the red/black box was fresh! Now I look at it and all it brings is "oh that's a peg-warmer." Appreciate you checking out the video as always, Fig! Have an excellent weekend, my dude. -Justin
I found a knockoff ShFiguarts Jango for 30 bucks at a comic shop, all accessories included and even for a knockoff it’s miles ahead of this jango. Great vid dudes :)
That's awesome! -Justin
Hello Nate and Justin thank you for continuing the black series "dark times" waves.
I saw the notification yesterday about Rex and Fox very late so the Rex's preorder was sold out but I did manage to get Fox pre-ordered for myself. I'm hopeful that Rex will go for sale again at some point.
I really want the Shadow Squadron set if Hasbro rereleases it, I might get two of them.
I still have all of my sequel trilogy figures. I got that Han Solo and got the Archive Han Solo as a gift, looks so much better. The First Order Flame Trooper still looks good as a trooper figure and I've got both versions of Phasma, she could have looked better with the carbonized paint like the silver Stormtrooper figure.
Thanks again guys for giving us the historical information on the black series figures, even the "dark times" is appreciated. Take care and I'll catch you both in the Sunday stream. Tom
Hey Tom! Thanks for checking out the new video. I think Rex is still up on GameStop's website! I do wonder if that Shadow Squadron set rerelease will end up happening. See ya Sunday! -Justin
S'Up Nate & Justin. I just got done watching your video of the 2016 SW Black Series 6inch figures from Jango Fett to the Captain Phasma from Episodes VII to IX. And to let you guys know that the 2-Pack of Chewbacca & C-3PO(with removable limbs) is very hard to find unless you can find it at a flea market or a Vintage Toy Store in your town for a good price. Also when you guys were talking about the re-issues of certain 6inch SW Black Series Figures that are supposed to be coming out in September or October, there's only 2 droids that I need to go with my Dr. Aphra figures(since I already have the 3.75 3-Pack of them) is Triple Zero & BT-1 (BEE TEE). Plus I also need to try to get Captain Rex & a new updated Clone Commader Wolf as well both versions of The Bad Batch's "Crosshair" figures. I may get a Plo Koon & Ki-Ai Munday Jedi Knight figures someday too. But there are lots of Clone Troopers(different Squadrons) as well SandTroopers, Scout Troopers, Tie Fighter Pilots & Storm Troopers (besides Han & 2 Luke figures in disguise) who I also need in the long run. And I also need to find Bossk as well IG-11 & IG-88 as well 4-LOM & Zuckuss to add to my Bouty Hunter collection. Anyway guys, hope that you have a good & safe weekend & I'll try to catch your next Lazy Sunday Live Streem Video this Sunday or in 2 weeks in June. See you guys later.
Hey Ted! Appreciate you checking out the new video and sharing your thoughts. Take care! -Justin
Agree on the Shadow and SDCC Thrawn for grails for me personally. The other one I had was the Emperor Throne set. I wasn’t collecting very much when he released. Thankfully I snagged the rerelease.
The accessories that come with the Thrawn set are so cool! -Justin
The dark times!!!! We have it so much better now I DO NOT miss that hot mess gummy plastic and horrible paint apps from that era. I was sorting figs and found my X-wing pilot Poe with melting face and the first Rey with doll face paint and remember being so excited to find them at the time as they were rather hard to find, pretty sure I picked these up at Walgreens.
100% we have it so much better now! That X-wing Pilot Poe is hilarious. What an abomination! -Justin
I don't know why they don't just recolor the ROTJ Boba for a Jango figure with an arm blade and the two jatpacks and such, it's an easy and cheap way to justify a deluxe figure price tag.
They definitely have the pieces to make a Jango! -Justin
Can’t believe how old that Jango is, and that they reused it as recently as last year for Pre Vizsla. And hoping that Shadow Squadron set gets a confirmed re-release.
Reusing that buck on Pre Vizsla is a crime! -Justin
I agree. Terrible writing really messed up the ST. But I will admit that I have a soft spot for the FO troopers. They may have been wasted in the movies, but at least they look cool.
I'd honestly be down for them to do a FO Stormtrooper on the same level as the 2023 Clone Trooper sculpt. -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement Even if the writers were not up to par, the visual designers were on point. The FO troops look like evolved designs of the standard Stormtroopers.
Except Jango (who is responsible for 33% of my figures falls.) This is all pre my collecting day of Black Series. If they read made a lot of these to current specs I would probably buy them. I enjoy this sub video line. Keep up the good work guys.
Appreciate your support, James! Take care. -Justin
Your ending with the mouth organ made me laugh so hard I've forgiven you mentioning the Force awakens. ;P
Lol! -Justin
I know you guys will cover it Sunday but.. Rex and Fox pre orders dropped yesterday and just happened to be on Pulse at that exact time lol. Grabbed 2×Rex and 1Fox
That's awesome, dude! -Justin
Hello there! New here. Only 1 sealed figure in my collection so far, the mandolorian and grogu (maldo Kreis). Just getting started, we’ve got a ways to go! Just found out about the GameStop phantom menace 3 pack, that’s definitely happening, and my current chase is the obi wan kenobi Jedi legend :) great channel and happy hunting
Welcome to the community and hobby! Happy hunting. -Justin
I got the shadow squadron when I was 9 because my parents said I could pick one thing out at the store for some reason
That's cool! -Justin
10:33 I gotta admit, that picture you guys put up of the FO Flametrooper was pretty bad a$$. 😁. Other than that, these ST figures are all forgettable. I still have all my ST figures crammed on the bottom of my bookshelves where they’re hard to look at, but soon I’ll run out of space and will box them all up. Especially as we close in on 300 figures from The Mandalorian….😏. Fun video as always guys! Love what you’re doing. 😁
I have officially retired mine! Selling them soon. -Justin
I remember seeing Jango as well and freaking out. I think they finally got the message that nobody wants sequel trilogy figures.
Oh they got that message for sure! They haven't done a single one since Dark Vision Rey, right? -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement Right!
Austin Powers!!! I love Nate's t-shirts!!! 😅😅😅 Groovy baby!!
Bro's wardrobe goes hard! -Justin
"Austin Powers is no longer a threat because I've taken his Mojo !" Dr. Evil 😊
That’s a higher power shirt it’s a uk band!
@@carlosolmedo93I am aware it is a band T-shirt, although not they were a UK band? 😮 I just type stupid comments that Nate and J have to respond to because I'm a channel member!! 😅😅
@@davidedge2828 I feel dumb:
Yeah i remember buying your han when the archive was released so now i have 2 old hans
Good stuff, Ivan. -Justin
"Rancor Style" LOL
😂
It was the dark times for articulation,i would be happy for all of those figs to get re tooling to the standard now,i am a OT kid & the OT will always be the way for me, but I kinda like the sequels so it would be nice to get updates on those figs, tbh honest I prefer watching the sequel trilogy than the prequel trilogy,i always fast forward the prequel trilogy to the best bits & the sequels are proper live action sets, no cartoon back ground Iike the prequels lol just my opion,great show as always, keep up the great shows
Thanks for watching, Apollo! -Justin
Some of Rogue One figures are cursed, but some are pretty outstanding in my opinion. Looking forward to that video....
Most of the early ones are awful. The Scarif Stormtrooper is pretty sweet though! -Justin
I still like force awakens, but it's definitely a setup movie that has nowhere to go.
Yeah... -Justin
A few months ago I purchased a single lot of st era figures I got like 25 figures for 60 bucks, definitely worth it imo since I missed out on pretty much all, gotta say nostalgia does hit me even though most of them are hot garbage haha. Definitely can’t wait for the next episode boys! I still get shocked about some of these waves since i started collecting near the end of the red and black box era! Keep up the great work!
That's awesome! Appreciate you checking out the episode. Take care! -Justin
I love all star wars but seeing attack of the clones in the cinema back in the day with my gf at the time & friends was a strange movie experience lol bizarre creepy anikan to padme lol
Lol Anakin was definitely a little weird in that movie! -Justin
That sweet, sweet algorithm!

Hasbro opened up pre orders for a restock in Captain Rex yesterday and that shit sold out so fast. Was not able to get one anybody else know where there are still preorders?
Is it out of stock on Big Bad Toy Store? -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement unfortunately yeah
@@OutOfTheBasement Yooooo I checked GameStop & they still have them for Pre-Order! I got one!
I was just about to write you back about GameStop! Lol. -Justin
I still love The Force Awakens even though TLJ & ROS were such huge disappointments. TFA was so much fun & brought back the magic of Star Wars.
It kinda just makes me dislike those two more that they couldn’t properly build upon TFA’s setup. Instead of hating TFA because its sequels fucked things up.
It did bring back that magic! -Justin
hasbro just need to release a deluxe jango and more prequel characters in general instead of focusing on TV shows
They are literally releasing more prequel characters than they have in the past 5 years…
If they Reissue the Shadow Squadron, why wouldnt theu use the 2020 ST mold? That figure is garbage
The rumored reiussues are just reissues. All the same figures, same packaging, etc. -Justin
It's kind of duchy that you would try and sell that Chewbacca set in the first place (unless Hasbro fired your ass I suppose) and the other set Imperial Shadow Squadron the two I managed to find 420 bucks on Ebay and on StockX for 637 Aussie dollars would have bought it if it was any decent price. Red Boxes I think only if character has helmet on I can buy even though I don't actually have Jango in my collection kind of can't decide which one to get the red box one or gaming greats? Also in same dilemma for Rey since only one I have is Dark Side ,which version would you guy's recommend?
I'd really like to know the story behind that eBay listing! Thanks for checking out the new video. Take care! -Justin
Justin looking like an adorable young snack.
💀
All the sequal trilogy figures are equal to or less than warm dog shhh from dogs you dont even know.
True or False ?
What?
I collect all black series from 1 thru 6. I wouldn't collect a damn thing from those insulting trash Farce Wars movies from Disney.
Thanks for watching! -Justin
yeah these black series suck
These are from seven years ago. It's a historical look back. -Justin
Yo! -Justin
