This looks totally awesome. It does a great job capturing Chewie's appearance. I'd get it now, but I have no where to put it. Ugh! Time to get more shelves.
I am from Peru and just bought this figure and its amazing its so big and so Chewbacca , the look to be honest is more from the Solo film but is very cool figure !
One of my favorite SW Heroes since 1977!! Are they going to make a Tarfful (Wookie Warrior Leader on Planet Kashyyk) Wookie Action Figure Black Series? I surely hope so.. Great post, thank you.
Thanks for comparing the chewies! I have chewie/c-3po in my ESB display and kept this chewie in his retro card and hung on the wall. Was debating opening him bc i wanted the bowcaster, but after seeing this, will enjoy him in the retro card on the wall 👍
Wow another fantastic video Victoria cantina of the wookie chewbacca .what a brilliant figure 🖤🖤🖤👽 wow I love your beautiful nails polish . Fantastic figure of chewbacca 💯💯💯💯💯 brilliant video Victoria
I wanted to collect all the 6" Reys, but only wanted photoreal so for TLJ Rey i had to pick up the one from that Disney parks pack with Hondo. I found a set for an incredible price because they kept the Hondo figure and resold the rest. I was cool with keeping the porgs but from the beginning I planned to sell off chewbacca... but after i had it in hand man i really fell for it! I ended up keeping it... Rey still needed a copilot and all.
Good review, have not picked up any of the Chewbacca figures yet, mostly picked up the bad guys, was never happy with the way Chewie looked, but I do like this one, and I agree with you on the eyes. Have you thought about a head swap? Will try to get one of these if I can.
I wonder if they’ll find a way to improve on this. Maybe a seamless Chewbacca using some futuristic plastic which can bend with the joints. And it could have a hinged jaw and movable eyes. The next step up from that would be to clone tiny organic Chewbacca’s that can only re-enact Star Wars scenes, which would be messed up, but it’s definitely where the future could head
Another awesome fantastic video ever from Victoria about star wars figures and spaceship collection. Keep collecting and may the force be with you 👽 from mark Russell
Your assessment is pretty good. The gradient transitions of the 40th do look better, but the eyes and paint apps of the face on the Amazon figure are better. Either way both are nice and better than all prior releases. However, I don’t like the two-tone colors at all. Chewy doesn’t have such harsh color transitions of his fur in any of the movies. I wish he came with a more solid color fur, kinda like the recent Vintage Collection figure, which btw is fantastic. The color gradient of TVC isn’t as harsh as these BS figures. Thanks for reviewing!
It's always hard to say because Chewie looks a bit different in each film, and it depends on lighting. I feel like this one is more in the sequel trilogy realm in terms of color. I'm a big fan of that recent TVC figure though. It's a great low-light Chewie.
We need a Hoth Chewie & this was the perfect time to release one Has there only been one version? Best Chewie though, hands down - or should I say up? - is Dejarik Chewie
Stiffkittens Reviews Probably because it was easier to just repack what they already had, and there wasn’t one in the Kenner line. Would have been cool though.
@@VictoriasCantina there wasn't a dagobah Luke in the kenner line either but we still got one. A two-pack with Chewie & Hoth Han - which a regular version is desperatly needed - just makes sense. How many Fett & Vader figures do we need?
I knew this was coming. When I envisioned what they may do on this carded ESB 40th offering I thought they may have done the Hoth white highlights Chewie. I would have bought that. I have the Amazon Chewie with 3PO. That’s the best thus far. I’m skipping this one. Maybe they will redesign Chewie for RoTJ so he can fit in the Black Series AT-ST they will surely make. That has to be in the 40th anniversary planning. Personally I still want a Falcon cockpit play set and that will as you said need a new mold for Chewie to sit. Lights/sounds give us the works Hasbro.
prophet924 I’m guessing it was a combination of cost and there not being a Hoth Chewie in the Kenner line. It’s definitely a redundant figure if you already have the last one.
Arguably the best Black Series artifact of Chewbacca yet ! - Now all we need is an artifact of Black Krrsantan ! Perhaps they could use the original , taller mold ? ~
Nice review, just what I have been waiting for! Also just going to throw this out there. Anyone think Hasbro will release updated ANH Luke/Han/Leia with better face print tech? The old figures are not aging well.
I'm kinda on the fence with this one. Love the details on the facial features but not 100% sure on the colors of the body. I'm looking at my old Black Series Chewie here (from early on in the line) and I think I prefer how the different colors on his fur blend into each other. Great review as always.

More shelves always helps! I need more too.
My friend got me that Chewbacca today for my birthday today
6:54 I actually placed two drops of crazy glue to keep his strap from dancing around....
I wish they would sculpt Chewbacca to hold his bowcaster left handed like he did when Peter Mayhew played him.
I am from Peru and just bought this figure and its amazing its so big and so Chewbacca , the look to be honest is more from the Solo film but is very cool figure !
Your voice is so soothing... especially because your talking about an action figure..,
Good review! I have the Amazon one myself, great set. Also the dagobah Luke and Yoda is an excellent set . Have you had a chance to pick that one up?
James Schulz III Yes, that’s a fantastic set as well.

More 6" wookiees would be cool.
I hope so!!
Definitely buying this one

Always appreciate these comparison. Save money for those who already have a previous verison of the figure.
I do what I can!

Interesting ideas!
I liked A New Hope Chewy better myself. I have this Empire Chewy but never opened it.

I had to get this Chewbacca because my 3-P0 one had a nick on the nose paint
Crispy Greedo I hate when that happens.
Imo those are the two best chewies period
Thanks amazing review

My top two favorite figures of 2020 are
Chewbacca
Lord Zedd
Jody Shirley Nice!
Arguably the best Black Series artifact of Chewbacca yet ! -
Now all we need is an artifact of Black Krrsantan ! Perhaps they could use the original , taller mold ? ~
Definitely the best TBS Chewie. Can't say I know what the other thing is!
@@VictoriasCantina - Woah! U havn't heard of Black Krrsantan ? The deadliest bounty hunter in the galaxy ?! ~
Doctor Aphra I think you might need to just mod one into existence. I wouldn’t bet on the Black Series to get around to it any time soon.
@@micahwright5901 - Nooo....That saddens my little morally-ambiguous heart ~ : ( *tear
Gracias guapa
If you have seen the "Book of Boba Fett" episode 2, yes then we need Krrsantan in the Black Series!!!!
😊👍
It needs a life day dress
Nice review, just what I have been waiting for! Also just going to throw this out there. Anyone think Hasbro will release updated ANH Luke/Han/Leia with better face print tech? The old figures are not aging well.
Probably not for a while. Those figures are still super cheap on the secondary market.
Thanks for the review but this is something i dont have to waste my money on .

bobahicks The colors on this one feel more sequel trilogy to me for some reason. I like the look but I agree he’s a little less blended.
A colossally cool review of a colossally cool action figure!
Aaron Scott Thank you!
@@VictoriasCantina You're keeping up the awesome work! 👍
