That is one amazing piece! If they had only made it with the light and sounds of the original, missed opportunity. I really like the detail they put into it, the nicks and dents are great, and the scaring. I'm glad you got one, and enjoy it! Thanks for the great review, and I love that helmet!! 😁
@@soviet_idiot And kids today who watch the Mandalorian would know what that is too, so you could have 2 sets of packaging for the same toy if you wanted to target both markets.
Hasbro are just going to do the speeder bike with the heroes of endor for the Jedi collection but if they do a at-st it probably be based on the vintage one but I can’t see how the head will be able to support the weight of the legs
Excellent review Tony! Empire Strikes Back is one of my favorite movies of all time. The Snowspeeder looks great and definitely rounds out a Battle Of Hoth display very well. The temptation to finally dive into collect Star Wars Black Series lingers deeply. I loved the introduction!
Tony... lol... absolutely LOVE the helmet! The rebel armored snowspeeder is still my all-time favorite SW vehicle. This version is amazing! In 1979 my fave was the Falcon but then 1980 and ESB hit and "it was on" lol. I still have my original with box from 1980, and have a picture of me playing with it at age 10 in my living room. Priceless. Have a great weekend! - Rob
This is an awesome review. This got me really excited for next week. I just ordered one through Ebay and the seller was amazing enough to include a Luke. The Snow Speeder and AT-AT are both my #1 favorite vehicles from Star Wars.
I knew from the moment I saw this beast that I needed it. In regards to the clip on the canopy - it's a common problem - a fix is to use a nail file and file just a little bit off the clip.
I'm glad you have this in your collection Tony, it's a beautiful piece, I love my Snowspeeder and it looks just as good as the real model that was used in the movie and is just as good as the more expensive EFX models.
Thanks Tony! Now I not only have to buy this Black Series Snowspeeder and the Luke figure, ( thanks to this excellent and comprehensive review ) but I also have to watch The Empire Strikes Back, ( for only the second time ) because the clips you used in this video, really makes me want to see it again! 😁
Tony, I have just managed to get one of these Snow speeders and I had to watch your excellent video and review. Mine came with both Luke and Dac. 14:01
Thanks Tony for another comprehensive review, after watching your video any doubts in my mind were cleared, I need to get one of those for my collection. Nothing like riding this particular nostalgic wave.👍
Thank you so much for putting this video together. I just got mine today, and did not know half of the fold outs you have shown! Much appreciated. PS. The flaps and hood on mine are also tricky to open.
As a general rule I avoid the Star Wars 6" scale stuff, but I have picked up a few here and there. But when they announced this one I had to have it. My issues with Hasbro's pre-order system not withstanding I'm very happy with it. I don't have the issue with the rear landing gear that others seem to have, mine are pretty tight. But the canopy latch is much to tight for my comfort so I have mine displayed with the canopy down but not latched. Now to the points you brought up about the removable blade on Luke's light saber and that odd removable panel on the side of the speeder, I found that there is a perfectly light saber blade sized space under that cover where I store the blade for mine and keep it safe from harm.
Thanks for another great review Tony fantastic details and no pesky decals at this price point. I especially love the cockpit and canopy.. Waiting for an Amazon Sale to grab one of these and apply the savings towards a 1:12th Millennium Falcon Lol!
Great review Tony. Magnificent vehicle. You're right it really does look like a movie prop. Have to say that hadn't realised how anonymous the packaging is until you mentioned it
Just goes to prove that Hasbro can do good work when they bother! For the landing gear, I'd get a small block of foam that fits in the gap between the open doors and then they can't fold closed again.
@@georgeaitken2719 They did make a 3.75" Scaled AT/AT but like Most Kenner/Hasbro Star Wars Vehicles, the AT/AT was Drastically Under Scale. Even the later Hasbro Larger Size Legacy Collection AT/AT was Underscaled.
This Thing is Incredible! The Snowspeeder is also My favorite Vehicle from Star Wars, with The Empire Strikes Back being My Favorite film. I agree Completely about the Size, Weathering and Detail Hasbro put into this Snowspeeder. It really does feel like a Studio Scale Model when I Hold it. Great Review! MTFBWY
Man, this is awesome!.... and BIG! I had the original Snowspeeder. I have GOT to get me one of these beauties... If anyone knows how I can break this news to the wife, then it would appreciated chaps!! haha
I don't collect the Black Series (3.75" fo life! 😄) but items like this sure do give me pause. This ship is a thing of beauty. Simply amazing! I had the original vintage one as a kid, and it was my favorite as well. Great review and overview video!
This thing AWESOME! Just picked it up on Hasbro Pulse and it should be arriving any day. Another step closer to an 6" scale Luke's X-Wing :) Great review!
very nice, I know a few model makers taking their brush to this model to enhance it even further. Some great thought gone into all those accessories, these larger figures are becoming a firm favourite...sadly no space for this beauty with the R.Crest on its way. another great impassioned video...oh and by the way regarding the box...it is the 'BLACK' series after all - says Derryl DePriest, Hasbro vice president of boys marketing in 2013 - In creating something new and different with Star Wars, the color black became an inspiration for toy designers, DePriest says. "It's one of the main colors of Star Wars all the way back to the beginning, and it's the approach that Lucasfilm has taken with their collector-oriented product line. We're bringing that simplicity and essence and focus on the character now to the toy aisle."
I agree that Black Series Packaging was supposed to be aimed at More Mature Collectors, and I Really Do Love Gregory Titus' Art Work, However I think Hasbro Missed a Great Opportunity Here to have Packaged this in Retro Inspired Packaging the way they did the ESB 40TH Anniversary Black Series figures on Cardbacks, and the Retro Styled Box they used for the Re-Release of the Hoth Wampa, Exclusive figure. This would have Looked Fantastic in a Retro Styled Box as well.
@@teddybearjedi8865 agree there on all your points, some people care alot about packaging then some peeps dont. I used to keep my boxes, but I've now come to an age where I like to display rather than keep everything. One idea might have been to mirror the black series figure with a clear front so you could the speeder in the box 🤔
Hehe hey man, you rocker that helmet well! 😉 A very detailed ship isn't it. Although, coz my focus is 3.75bvery much so atm... it's really out of place in my home. I hate mixing the scales and hence I don't keep it with my 3.75 stuff (which is massive) It's currently kicking around in my living room until I can figure where I'm gonna definitely display it. O.O.K 👌🏼💙
Hoth as the best battle of the series, but as a kid all of the action llay sets and vehicles were way outta my price range. This review is great, so much detail in the vehicle I am struggling to resist buying Empire classic figures, including this. Dak's figure is great, wonder how the actor would feel 40 yrs on, finally being an action figure....
Tony, using metallic tweezers on plastic parts looks damaging... there are some prying plastic tools (usually used to open and repair electronics) that you could use. Very nice content, loved the ship!
Hasbro rightly gets flak, but credit where credit is due - their Black Series line is a genuine passion project. I can't reccomend sets like the speeder bike enough
Good luck getting a speeder for a decent price! I'm sure the majority who bought the recent exclusive Heroes of Endor set bought it just for the speeder bike as it was probably cheaper than getting the original plus you got 3 bonus figures I bought the Shadow Squadron instead of the speeder bike as that had the bike & the original figure, kinda regret it but SS still goes for a lot & I imagine they might re release the bike for the 40th of RotJ
@@silvervalleystudios2486 Apparently they have learnt from that awful mistake. In the UK, you can get it from Zavvi & in Australia from Popcultcha. Dunno about other places around the world. JMO, but those prices are a rip-off IMo, & the amount of interest they are gonna collect from all the pre-orders?! But hey, if people wanna buy it 🙂
@@Stiffkittens01 I got the six inch scale speeder in a set with a scout trooper a few years ago. As for this snowspeeder Im giving it a miss. I refuse to pay the ridiculous price of AUD $300 for it. I'm done with Star Wars anyway. My collection is over saturated with Star Wars.
@@silvervalleystudios2486 I just pre-ordered the HT snowspeeder Luke. Got 2 years to save up for it 🤣 Now I gotta start saving up for the 1/6 snowspeeder 😳
I got the snowspeeder a couple of months ago, it's ok, but the only real issue I had was the plastic they used as the glass for the canopy, what do you think my friend, nice review brother!
You look similar to a Valaverse figure i use with GIJoe classified. Man i wish id picked up the SnowSpeeder. I have the Tie Fighter, LandSpeeder and 1 SwoopBike and 1 speederbike. I personally want Vaders Tie Advanced.
Google foam imperial walker and this name Hotwire foam factory comes up when you click images and they made a imperial walker I think would be to scale with this
The one thing that has always bugged me about ESB -the best SW film by a mile - as illustrated in the clip you used, is that Luke gets into the snowspeeder with his helmet not on, or even his skullcap & the canopy starts to close. There is hardly any room to move in the snowspeeder so how does he get his helmet on? 🤔 I doubt he has time or the space by the time the canopy closes
I have the 3.75 scale version a lot of the features In that version. Are the same as this one obviously the cockpit detail is better in the 6 inch both are cool toys
I have to agree with every point you made, Tony. The only critique I had was the same. My rear landing gear wants to fold in with the slightest movement. I thought it was just me worrying about opening that cockpit. I felt the same way, that I might break it but it's pretty robust. I think the only thing I found that wanted to come off easily were the laser cannons and that was only with some physical playing/flying. I love the fact that every accessory provided safely stowes away inside the cockpit, too. I think the only thing I would want to add, if I really had my druthers, would be a place to stow Luke's lightsaber hilt. I totally agree with you that the addition of lights, sound, and or a motorized winch are completely unnecessary and would make the price points far too high. It's a big son-of-a-bitch but it beautiful. Love your idea for displaying on the wall. Its size really does limit most people's display options. I still don't know where and how I want to display it because I can't find a place where it fits comfortably.
Yeah I agree the landing gear could have been designed a lot better Michael Shaffer as it does seem to want to fold in on itself if you move it when it's on a hard surface or even if you lay it down on a hard surface, that's the bad point I have with this Snowspeeder.
The T-47 is also my favourite SW vehicle in ANY of the Sw films, not just the OT. I had been planning of buying this ever since it was announced but after watching two cents toys review, some things put me off: I know it is movie accurate but I just prefer the white version of the snowspeeder plus the size But after watching a friend's video earlier this week, I jumped on ebay & there was one for the original retail price. Only problem was that the seller had zero feedback, not even in buying, so I just couldn't. I know I may regret it down the line but c'est la vie I do have the UCS LEGO Snowspeeder which I believe is the same scale as this as well as multiple other LEGO snowspeeders. I'm gonna try & make a Hoth Wedge using a luke body. There's a bit of irony in the photo they used on the Luke card & he didn't come with a regular head. Really should've included a second head
Sorry to leave this here, but the video you did about the razor crest but the comments are not on. So I will say that I bought 1 razor crest and it doesn’t bother me at all that it got blown up. The only ship with more screen time is the falcon! So it’s not like it was in a shot or 2. 2nd most screen time of all Star Wars vehicles except the falcon. The razor crest will be the centerpiece of my collection right next to my legacy falcon. You know the first version of the 400 dollar 1 they were just selling with hondo and chewie
One custom you could do is swap Speeder Luke's head with Bespsin Luke. Reinact the scene where he talks to Dakk just before the battle. Good way to leave the cockpit open.
The panel being out of place is to recreate the scene where the side of the snowspeeder gets hit. It's for a "crash" scene.Issue i had was with the Dak figure's shoulder articulation being "stuck" and i had to fix it by putting him in hot water.the reason why they pre-packed Dak is because he would have shelf-warmed forever. But overall, this item was prop worthy. But yeah, if you look at the battle of Hoth you'll see that there' a scene where a side panel gets blown off. You're not supposed to have it missing and the part there. It's a scene specific thing. They did that wit hthe VTC snowspeeder from several years ago too.The only thing i hate about the cockpit is the bland coloring of the seats.
Where are you getting your information from? When the speeder crashes on Hoth this panel is not removed taskandpurpose.com/humor/hoth-crash-air-force-investigation
@@AnalogToys so when rogue 2 is hit, thats the area that gets blown off. For some reason they include battle damage in that area on the black series snowspeeder and tvc snowspeeder.
@@AnalogToys I don't know why, but they decided to have it be removable at that spot and all i can figure is that it's an attempt to simulate battle damage like what happened to rogue 2 during the battle of hoth. 30 minutes and 50 seconds in. So, it may not look like battle damage but the reason it's there is a callback to that. So, yeah.
Thanks for clarifying that. You started out making a statement (which sounded certain) but now you are indicating it is an assumption, just as I thought.
Like the tumbler & Selina Kyle were never called the Batmobile or Catwoman in the Nolan films, this was never called the Snowspeeder in ESB. That was all down to Kenner to sell the toys
It does look lovely, but I think I'd just like the original toy from the 80s. A wall hanging is cool. Maybe hang from the ceiling in a dive? I'd like to see the AtAt hat goes with it.
"the actor who played dac" is that man's true name
I gotta say, the snow speeder is perfect, it's so simple but so awesome
That is one amazing piece! If they had only made it with the light and sounds of the original, missed opportunity. I really like the detail they put into it, the nicks and dents are great, and the scaring. I'm glad you got one, and enjoy it! Thanks for the great review, and I love that helmet!! 😁
The box is classy and cool.
I ended up using a TV wall mount and it works beautifully to use as a flying display. Love this gem of a toy/display piece!
I can only wish they would make AT-ST for their 6 inch Black Series figures.
Yeah that would be good.
@@Jonathan_Redmond Yeah, they did make the Jabba Barge. An AT-ST would compliment the Endor Black Series figures.
@@Jonathan_Redmond Good point. The Haslab Sentinel's price pissed me off.
@@soviet_idiot And kids today who watch the Mandalorian would know what that is too, so you could have 2 sets of packaging for the same toy if you wanted to target both markets.

Wow 🤩 the best review on the black series snowspeeder I’ve seen so far ... nice job
Great review and I 100% agree! I just got mine not too long ago and it really looks like a high-end movie prop. Keep up the great work!

Great video sir if I collected Star Wars I would be all over this!
I used to use a Die Cast Snow speeder playing Hoth battle with my 80s AT-AT as that seemed the 'right scale" to be [back then]
When they brought out the vintage at at the snowspeeder was brought out to the same scale
@@georgeaitken2719 Oh yeah but as a kid, you couldn't really "Play" the SnowSpeeder going between the legs [so I'd substitute the Die cast for that]
@@georgeaitken2719 They did make a 3.75" Scaled AT/AT but like Most Kenner/Hasbro Star Wars Vehicles, the AT/AT was Drastically Under Scale. Even the later Hasbro Larger Size Legacy Collection AT/AT was Underscaled.
The Snowspeader is one of my favorite Rebel ships gonna have to pick this one up, awesome review!
> VERY COOL, TONY, FULL OF DETAILS.
What a coincidence.I just bought a MISB POTF Snowspeeder.I don't collect SWBS but I still enjoyed your video Tony.
Awesome awesome awesomeness 👏🏼 I think I have to get one ASAP
Very helpful and informative!
One critique I would make is that the laser canons are closed off at the end, rather than hollow.
Exquisite stuff in this size--- all you need now is a full scale collector to buy it, no problems there!!

I remember a kid bringing one of these to school and we were all disappointed because it wasn't a ship from the Buck Rogers TV show.
Love the t shirt do you have a link for it?

Sorry to leave this here, but the video you did about the razor crest but the comments are not on. So I will say that I bought 1 razor crest and it doesn’t bother me at all that it got blown up. The only ship with more screen time is the falcon! So it’s not like it was in a shot or 2. 2nd most screen time of all Star Wars vehicles except the falcon. The razor crest will be the centerpiece of my collection right next to my legacy falcon. You know the first version of the 400 dollar 1 they were just selling with hondo and chewie
I'm sure most of us have suffered with a wonky lightsaber at some point.
Hahaha!
One custom you could do is swap Speeder Luke's head with Bespsin Luke.
Reinact the scene where he talks to Dakk just before the battle.
Good way to leave the cockpit open.
Tony - Do you think with the popularity of retro lines that MASK could be resuscitated?
Apparently Hasbro have plans to bring MASK back in 2021
The panel being out of place is to recreate the scene where the side of the snowspeeder gets hit. It's for a "crash" scene.Issue i had was with the Dak figure's shoulder articulation being "stuck" and i had to fix it by putting him in hot water.the reason why they pre-packed Dak is because he would have shelf-warmed forever. But overall, this item was prop worthy. But yeah, if you look at the battle of Hoth you'll see that there' a scene where a side panel gets blown off. You're not supposed to have it missing and the part there. It's a scene specific thing. They did that wit hthe VTC snowspeeder from several years ago too.The only thing i hate about the cockpit is the bland coloring of the seats.
Where are you getting your information from? When the speeder crashes on Hoth this panel is not removed taskandpurpose.com/humor/hoth-crash-air-force-investigation
@@AnalogToys so when rogue 2 is hit, thats the area that gets blown off. For some reason they include battle damage in that area on the black series snowspeeder and tvc snowspeeder.
Its a removable panel, it doesn't look anything like battle damage
@@AnalogToys I don't know why, but they decided to have it be removable at that spot and all i can figure is that it's an attempt to simulate battle damage like what happened to rogue 2 during the battle of hoth. 30 minutes and 50 seconds in. So, it may not look like battle damage but the reason it's there is a callback to that. So, yeah.
Thanks for clarifying that. You started out making a statement (which sounded certain) but now you are indicating it is an assumption, just as I thought.
Mine is still in the box because I've got no where to display it! :\
Like the tumbler & Selina Kyle were never called the Batmobile or Catwoman in the Nolan films, this was never called the Snowspeeder in ESB. That was all down to Kenner to sell the toys
It was referred to as the Snowspeeder by the production department of the film, and in the concept art.
It does look lovely, but I think I'd just like the original toy from the 80s. A wall hanging is cool. Maybe hang from the ceiling in a dive? I'd like to see the AtAt hat goes with it.
OK I just checked how much it cost.
igot the snowspeeder i love it probably my best buy of covid lol... PS I really hate to ask but where did you get your tshirt i love it ?
Kmart in Port Hedland, Western Australia.
@@AnalogToys LOL IM gLESGA scotland god damn it hahahah
no maker on the label naw ?
That is beautiful. I say kill the landing gear as it never had them just some display stands. Thanks
Maybe the removable panel is for doing repairs? Don't tell me rebel vehicles ever broke down!😂
