Not only is this figure a banger, but by extension the episode 3 senate guard from the 4 pack that came with the rifle is also a banger. This figure looks so look in blue
I love the Trojan warrior style helmet on that one! I wish we'd get a Senate Commando in the line. -Justin
Great video, guys. I agree, this figure just excels at... standing there. I love when Star Wars does a bright red design, and this figure just has so much presence on a shelf.
I didn't even think about Hasbro using scene specific figures as an excuse to skimp on accessories, but it makes sense in hindsight. I was so used to it, that I remember being a bit stunned that the Mafex Mando 2.0 had so many accessories since he never had them all at once; they just included everything.
Yeah once you really start to think about it, they've done it many times. Thanks for watching! -Justin
I have one of these and love it! Mine is in an attack pose, but still hanging out with Palpatine.
Niiiice that's cool! -Justin
Seriously an underrated figure. The hidden armor underneath the soft goods is such a nice touch. Definitely need to pick up more of him. Certified banger!
Totally wasn't expecting all that detail in 2017! -Justin
Royal Guard was a light during a time of darkness in the black series for sure.
💯
Yeah I got 2 of these guys and 2 of the condor jax figures as elite guards. I have the shadow guard (wish they would re-release him) as well as 3 of the senate guards. Love the royal guard.
Oh yeah that was such a fun 4-pack! -Justin
I haven’t really thought about this one as a banger but after watching this I totally agree. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed the video! -Justin
Only downside of this figure is you need to buy them in pairs! lol
True, but I buy two of every trooper anyway. Tee hee! -Justin
I agree, now bring on the Jedi Temple Guards, Hasbro!
That'd be amazing! -Justin
As always, you guys are right on point, I couldn’t agree more. Last month on my own small channel I did a list of my favorite black series. Figures and the royal guard was in the top five. You’re so right, it’s still looks good, it holds up, I don’t think you could really improve on it unless you wanted to completely re-sculpt everything from the ground up, but I don’t think that’s necessary. I own five, gotta get one more. Totally agree, a wicked banger for the ages.
Fully agreed, Hyperdrive! Thanks for watching. -Justin
Royle Gard is absolutely banging. Does what it says on the tin. A fantastic thing. Got 4 surrounding Palps, Carnal Jack and the blue gg one, there also, the blue Phantom Menace one, and the sublime Black version is even better!! Got the Jedi card safely in acrylic for all time, and got the Carbo version in acrylic too, which is a ting 'o beauty in itself.
One of my childhood favourites!! ❤❤❤
I love that blue Phantom Menace one! -Justin
Hello David and yes the Royal Guard figure is amazing.
I myself have four of them, two of the all black with saber staffs, two blue Imperial Senate Guards with saber staffs( I modified with blue capes), and one original Republic Senate Guard with his rifle. I wish I had at least one more Republic Senate Guard figure. Hasbro it's time for the Republic Senate Guard figures to return as a main line release.
I also have a Kurt Kanos figure.(probably messed up the spelling) LoL 🤣.
@@OutOfTheBasementYou told me that bluey was PM and when I watched it again he doesn't have a visor in the film so we need a head update!!
@@theperceptor9287I love those unique rifles and custom blue capes for those gg versions are a great idea!!
I never really cared for the royal guard when I collected 3.75, but the TBS one immediately made the costume one of my favorites in the franchise. I tracked down the original Kenner robe sewing patterns online and redesigned them to be compatible with (and a little more film accurate, given that the original inner robe on the kenner figure is basically a hospital gown and open at the back) for one of my royal guards and ended up with one of my favorite figures in my collection when I finished sewing. Been addicted to tracking down royal guards ever since.
Been addicted to getting royal guards ever since. Currently just missing the Shadow Guard and Senate Guard to have the full set (minus the sequel guards, since I don't care for those armor designs). I've even done a pop and swaps with a bit of painting to make a carbonized version of Kir Kanos, just to give me an excuse to put another guard on the shelf since I have a self imposed rule for saving shelf space by not having any duplicate figures. The Kenner style robes also meant I could have 2 different versions of technically the same guard on my shelf since they have different soft goods.
Hoping we eventually also get an actual Carnor Jax someday though haha
That's awesome with the modified robe! Nice job. I'd love to get an actual Carnor Jax as well! -Justin
Big fan of this figure! One of the few in the line that I have two of of, and I’ve been thinking about snagging the RotJ one to have a third! Emperor Palpatine needs protection!
I was gonna say...you BETTER have two! -Justin
This figure is so cool. Having 2 flanking the emperor is so iconic. Plus the added articulation makes all the variations of this figure even better!
Nice "HEAD" Banger episode fellas 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Definitely need two for ol' Palps! Thanks for watching, Fig. -Justin
I recently lost a biker scout's blaster (disappeared in the sink). So I thought to myself, OK, I'll take the blaster from the Roayl Guard, it's the same after all! ...it didn't fit in the holster because it's mirrored! Has anyone ever noticed this? 🤔 🤓
That’s the sort of information no one ever mentions. Thanks!
I didn't know they were mirrored but I did know they were different as the Guard shooter doesn't fit the Scout's little "pinch finger" shooter hand when I tried...
@@davidedge2828 I thought the reason would be the holster is on the opposite side, but of course the guard holds it in his left hand because the right hand is sculpted for the force pike pose.
@@robbvanderstoel7725 Absolutely! I tried a while ago and my memory may be fuzzy, but I don't think the guns are quite the same size either?
@@robbvanderstoel7725 I'm talking rubbish! Here's the definitive answer. The Guard and Scout pistols are mirrored, so are actually different weapons. They are the same size as well and both pistols fit in the Scout's right hand and both fit in the Guard's left. Both pistols fit in the Guard's somewhat generic holster, but only the Scout pistol fits in the Scout's ankle holster. There are tiny discrepancies with the sight of each gun and the trigger protrusions, but I cannot be certain if these are deliberate or due to the production differences in such a small accessory.
Hello Nate and Justin thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Emperor's Royal Guard figure.
I definitely agree with you both, this is an amazing figure. I myself have 4 of the Royal Guards figures not including the Comic version that I also have.
I have 2 of the black armored versions, 2 Imperial Senate Guards that I also modified with blue capes, and just 1 of the Republic Senate Guard figures. I want at least one more of the Old Republic Senate Guard figures. Hasbro an easy figure for main line release for Phantom Menace, just saying.
Yes the figure can be improved with butterfly joints and deep cut arms as well. I'd get at least one or two with those improvements.
Over all a great figure and I enjoy them. Thanks again guys for sharing your thoughts on this true Banger figure. Take care and I'll catch your next video. Tom 👍
What's up, Tom! Thanks for checking out the new video. I love that blue version! -Justin
Nice array of Guards!
@@davidedge2828 Thanks but I definitely still need at least one more of the Republic Senate Guards maybe two. So they can walk with Chancellor Vallorum if we ever get him in black series. Definitely need Chancellor Palpatine or maybe Chancellor Jar Jar 🙈.
@@theperceptor9287 Tom. Do not hold your breath waiting for those figures!!
I just recently realized that the newer ROTJ anniversary version’s staff is much more glossy silver compared to red and black box.
Oooooh didn't notice that! -Justin
You guys should have included a Shadow Guard and Senate Guard. Definitely a banger.
They're nice as well! -Justin
Senate Guard in blue would be a GREAT archive release. I must say I caved and bought the 40th ROTJ Carbonized Amazon 2 pack with the RG and Tie Pilot and it elevates this figure in a new way. I may have to buy another set to have 2, the carbonize paint pops this helmet in a sharp almost lifelike way in 1:12 scale. Excellent figure great design with the soft goods.
The blue one is so cool! I love the Trojan style helmet. -Justin
Yep the royal guard is TIP TOP, It does exactly what it needs to do & more with the suit sculpt,at least 2 are needed for anyones collection, still a fair price for new collectors too, great vid as always
Thanks for the visit, Apollo! -Justin
I’ll always remeber when Crimson Empire came out. For me the Guards were the only OT characters more mysterious than Boba Fett and the fact that we saw them as bad ass elite warriors in the comics was amazing
Yeah that must've been cool! -Justin
One of my favorite figs is the Imperial Senate Guard (which is just a blue repaint). Absolute banger!
Love the Trojan warrior style helmet on that one! -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasementI actually don’t like that helmet. I always wanted to try a head swap with the gaming greats imperial senate guard, but that’s an expensive risk having to get the 4 pack.
picked up two of these recently and I fully agree. It's perfect considering the age of the figure and it's more than perfect for what it's supposed to be and even more.
Appreciate you checking out the video, dude! -Justin
Royal guard was my first purchase when I got back into black series recently
That's cool! -Justin
I only have Kir Kanos and I was surprised at how well the articulation on the Royal Guard body has aged. They really need to release the real Carnor Jax to complete the duo.
Thanks for watching, Dill! -Justin
I recently picked up two of these for when Darth Sidious is released to stand behind him. At first I was going to use the senate guards but realised that they wouldn’t fit the display.
These'll do! -Justin
These have been on sale in my local SMYTHS toys (UK toy store), and this has helped to sway me to pick some up!
It'd be great to see a single release of the black guard from the force unleashed
Niiiiice! -Justin
Looks like a fantastic figure. However for whatever reason. I I do need to get two of them though. I wasn't collecting at the time so it's just a matter of coming across two of them. Thanks for the video guys
They're nice and cheap! -Justin
An absolute banger for sure! He's perfect for what he needs to be. I even like the soft goods. I have two. I think he was the first SWB figgie I bought a second one of. Now when are we getting the Imperial dignitory? 😁
Couldn't agree more! I'd be down for the Advisors. -Justin
Who knew? Great banger, guys. I have the 4 pack and love it! Also, just picked up the carbonized two pack from Pulse for $33!!!! Love that candy apple red. Looking forward to the next video
The candy apple red on that carbonized Royal Guard is actually awesome. Keeping that one on card! -Justin
Nah, best intro I've EVER seen!😅 Also awesome figure, great army builder!
Glad you enjoyed the video! -Justin
Did you guys made a review for the carbonized version? I think that the metallic paint works on the figure, it would be interesting to see how two of them look beside the emperor instead of the normal ones.
We did not, we both keep that version in box. -Nate
i' m done with black series, i canceled all orders and i am currently selling off all the ones i have through the black series collectors facebook page and on market place. i just can't get caught up anymore and it's just too costly to do so.
That's too bad, Black Series is better than ever. -Justin
We all know the REAL banger is the Force Unleashed senate guard lol great video as always!
This one is better! 👀 -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement NAHHH the lack of a cape and accuracy makes the blue one stand out lol
Dang, I gotta get one
Dew it! -Justin
I want to get two eventually
Dew it! -Justin
Off topic question but do you guys have any figures one absolutely loves and other hates?
That's a great question! -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasementJustin loves Holdo and Tico!!
I thought I heard the 40th ROTJ has slightly improved robes (a little shorter maybe?). I’m going to go look for video evidence. There’s one left at my GameStop, but it’s the only Black Series figure that’s not discounted at the moment.
I'd be really surprised if they're at all different. -Justin
Not Crazy, I got 2 at the same time. They look so good next to The Emperor.
Thanks for watching! -Justin
It's a way better figure than I thought it was. I always thought it was a traffic cone under the robes like Mon Mothma, now I know different! Might have to get a couple now. On a related note, do the hands come off the archive release of Palpatine? I'd like to put the lightning hands off Darth Sidious on him.
You definitely should get a few of these! And yes, that's exactly what I did with an extra Archive Emperor. Just heat them up if there's any strong resistance. -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement Nice one, that's at least 3 figures added to my list now, LOL!
One of my first BS figures. Found it (along with Lando and Rex) at FiveBelow.
Wow great find! -Justin
Answer to your final questions, Yes you are both crazy but we love you for it, and yes you are on the mark on this one. Great figure for it's time and still holds up to this day. I was glad back in the day this figure had it's own unique body and not reuse because the body was covered by the robe, but if I lifted up the robe and saw shorts, and sneakers how do I know that wasn't movie accurate?
YEP WE ARE INDEED INSANE.
How you got the blue milk
Trumoo has been doing some! Check your grocery store. -Justin
You guys are correct this an amazing figure
Thanks for checking out the video, Jon! -Justin
Does the head pop off easy?
Never tried to pop the head off entirely but the soft goods come off easily. -Justin
It isn’t blue 💙🧢🔵🤷🏻♂️ so it has that on for it. 😂
This is absolutely a great figure and well I know it isn’t accurate to the game. I own the Force unleashed version and I find it to be a lot of fun.
Now red I'm down for! -Justin
I'm still waiting for a quality 3,75" version.
Just switch to Black Series ;)
He good! Hasbro! Will the real Kir Kanos please stand up?
TWO ROYAL GUARD BOYS GO ROUND THE OUTSIDE, ROUND THE OUTSIDE, ROUND THE OUTSIDE!
Malcolm Maclearance....3 buffalo gurls....lol@@OutOfTheBasement
PROTECT THE EMPEROR

You are "milking" that new intro video..... De dumm, tish!!! 😅😅😅 That was me doing the drum bit after my EPIC joke!!! 😊
Now I must force you to drink a glass of that delicious blue milk! -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement I want the cereal as well that you both eat with it!
No blue milk for me, thank you.
that justin guy sure does yap a lot
POO DOO
These guys may not have actually done anything in the movies, but good lord do they look awesome not doing anything.
Too bad we couldn't get that deleted scene with Jerjerrod, Vader, and the Royal Guards! -Justin
I'm going to make a second shit joke in this comment section!! 😮😮 The Royle Gard is so good, it's not even a banger, it's a "Ban Gogh!!!" 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 I actually need payment for these comments!!
I'll give you a nickel for every comment! -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement That'll be about £1000 you owe me already!! 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣
Davey "Verbal diorhea" Edge!!
I'll witness for you David, Justin said he'll pay you. Now the question is do you only get paid for the main comments or do you get paid for each comment you post on a comment ??
That could add up to some boku bucks 💰💰💰💰.
@@theperceptor9287All of them Tom!! 😅
I managed to secured a pair of these for $35 on eBay. Not a bad deal. And yes, they totally serve their purpose - just stand there and look cool. Fantastic figure!
Two for $35 is a great deal! Thanks for watching, Matt. -Justin
