Thor13332 , I agree! Blue Leader (General Merrick) is one of my fave Rogue One characters. A Mon Mothma & Adm. Raddus, and Grand Moff Tarkin figure would've been great as well.
I dunno, I haven't had any issues with the super-articulated figures. I've gotten them in some good stances and poses without any problems. Then again, I've had posable SW figures since the Legacy Collection. Mine sit down pretty well, lol. But I think you're right about how much easier it is to get the more basic figures to stand up. That said, if you work with those ball hinge joints on the legs and elbows, they can be pretty nice. I must confess, most of my figures are in static poses due to space limitations. I guess I'm all over the board, haha. Cool review, though. You make some very interesting points that I agree with. Love your channel. Please make more videos SOON.
Michael, I like how you got us there at the end; showing the TIE and saying: "are right here in the studio." Reminds me of an old classic cliff hanger for a two part episode. You know how to keep us coming back for more.
Those figures look so much nicer in your video than at the store. I can only guess it's because at the store, the price for all those extra useless parts is staring me in the face just as prominently.
I don't really have a problem with 5POA because when I was a kid I remember my Star Wars guys not being as annoying to arrange in massive battles as my Joes, and easier to quickly redeploy. My Joes were good as snipers and ninjas, though.....and I was living in Alaska when Empire came out, so we were all pretty much addicted to the Battle of Hoth....aaaannd I was living in Oregon when Jedi came out, so we were all pretty addicted to the Battle of Endor then. Great video, good keeping your word!
Great video and the best part was just hearing you tell the story and especially in the first few minutes. I'd be that many a collector has done what you did or some similar variation. And I'll never be sure what the deal was with Power of the Force and the unrealisticness of them. Super job and very entertaining!
Thanks for a really interesting insight into this toy line, whilst I wasn't a huge fan of the film I was glad to see you guys cover this. Look forward to seeing more reviews, well done!
i think the need for articulation varies from franchise to franchise. I just recently nabbed Black Series Kylo Ren, and the articulation on that one is really great and necessary, I feel. He does a lot of dynamic movements in the movie, so it makes sense for the BS toy to do so. But for toylines like the Halo Mega Construx figures, It really isnt necessary. they're so small and fiddly anyway that giving them 12POA just makes them a chore. Great video as always guys.
the main problem i have with 5 poa figures is when they have an useless pose in the arm. i bought a Kanan figure from the rebels series and his hand is sculpted turned to the right,so he holds his saber with the blade awkwardly and looks wierd. if they are gonna stick with the 5 poa at least have a good basic action pose,so it is useful. i also think you gave us a very good honest review showing both the good and the bad.
As a side note you could have the Hover tank driver ride the Imperial Troop Transport relaunched thru the animated Rebels toy line while we are waiting for the Rogue One Vintage Hover tank to come out.
Michael, your a stand up guy for keeping your word. I have yet to see Rogue One but am so glad you enjoyed it and that it's self is an endorsement. Great work as always.
Pao and Edrio Two-Tubes are two of my favorite figures in my collection at the moment. Edrio has the standard 5poa arms and legs, but the ball joint in his neck makes him a bit unsettling when posed with his head tilted, which really works for his character. Pao's mouth opens very wide, which is super cool 😁
Oh WOW.... I don't even know where to start! 😊 1) The video is awesome, balanced, funny, informative, objective, well written... I didn't expect less from you guys, and it certainly made my Sunday! 2) Michael, you were able to voice my issues with the stupidly useless super articulated figures! Fitting them in vehicles is a pain, and takes forever... 3) Comparing vintage SW toys with what is being sold to kids & collectors these days is necessary, and you guys have done a great job! Thank You for this video, a million Thanks, can't wait for the next one!!!
In my playing days, I wanted a bonus one-peas enemy in a fighting pose to come with every figure. Imagine a Stormtrooper or Cobra Comando for every hearo to fight!
Love that you adressed 5POA and the 'extra' un nessesary bulky weapons... I collected most of the Force Awakens figures but passed one the Roug One toys myself
Really enjoyed Rogue One, I do think Revenge of the Sith is underrated and each prequel should be considered in isolation. That said the original trilogy are my three favourites, then Force Awakens, then ROTS and then Rogue One. Off all 8 movies only 2 are duds by my standards and the last hour of AOTC is entertaining despite how bad the rest of the movie is with bizarre comments about sand....
You could remove the bottle and neck think by taking off her head and pulling the neck thing off of the beck then the bottle is on a peg which you can pull off and her arm can move a bit better but her hand still won't touch the poncho
great to see a new video from RB! Also, glad that enjoyed the movie, as I did. Personally, I haven't jumped into this toy line, but I really like your pt. 1 review, and am looking forward to pt. 2.
Great review. I have few those action figures I don't collect to much Star Wars anymore. Hasbro's over pricing is part of it plus I have been collecting Star Wars since 1978 just don't have the space for it anymore.
only three vehicles i know hope in the second part we get to find out your thoughts on why only three? the pre disney hasbro bought out a lot of vehicles for star wars lego is a different story they make everything
The Hover tank is coming out in 2018 thru the Vintage line as well as re-releases of other Rogue One characters on the vintage line cards. The Hover tank will come with the hard to find driver. There was no way to know this when you made the video I realize. It was released for the 2018 toy Expo for Spring and Early summer 2018.
I got to meet and get autographs from Timothy Zahn at Origins Game Fair 2018. It was so surreal and awesome to meet someone who helped cement one some of the most iconic characters into the lore of Star Wars I own two of his books and when I finish them I plan to buy them all.
Excellent review. Us Swedish fans gets even more jacked. your single figure at 7.99 costs us 22$! and a 2 pack is 35$. the 6 inch black figures are 35-40$ if they even make it here. I thus get my fix when I'm stateside.
Blue leader was fun I liked him. But yea no blue xwing. How hard would it have been. I remember as a kid saving up my stickers or box tops and mailing in for the Emperor. And I got Bobba Fett then found out he did nothing and I stoped playing with him I loved the Micro Play sets. I still have them. Could you talk about thoughts. I played with the Hoth one the most.
4:40, in 1995 I was 22. I had been there "in the beginning" but actually liked Power Of The Force 2 (but only bought 2 instead of 45 from 1978-84). I quit collecting in 1984 and actually appreciated POF2 more than those Power Of The Force Kenner figures of 1985. Screw them! I was done at the time.
Mike and Melinda....this was an absolutely fair critique of the Rogue One toy line. It was a good mixture of vintage and modern toys. With all of the vintage and modern problems!!!!! "discuss" :)
The only newer Star Wars movie besides maybe Episode 3 where I didn't cringe, roll my eyes and chuckle at multiple times while watching it. Decent looking toys I didn't even know they had made ones based on it.
Gotta admit, I started my collection on Super articulated figures, and I'm still hunting down figs I need. The TFA figs were good with articulation, but crap with vehicles. Rogue One is bad with articulation, but by now 5POA has grown on me and the great detailed figures make me happy, but still, NO. VEHICLES. I have a friend that made a Blue Leader figure that was amazing, and it's great. you could probably get one customized for cheap, keyword maybe. ALSO, GOOD NEWS (maybe...) there are a few new figs coming out. Regular Ground Crew, Admiral Raddus, Galen Erso, and the black Rebel Trooper from the Scarif battle, the one Bodhi commands from the ship. Please let Pt. 2 come out soon, I need more Retroblasting.
You know you're watching something of quality when you reach the end, your fist raises, shaking at the skies above, wishing there was more video! Always love to find RB's content in my feed. The high point of any day. On the subject at hand, I'm honestly not the biggest 3 3/4 figure fan. I much prefer the 6 inchers. But I love getting to know the good, the bad and the ugly of this particular series of figures. Thanks!
It’s funny looking at the 90’s figures now and all I can see is how ridiculously buff they were. However, as a kid growing up with these figures I thought they were really puny and actually wanted them to be bigger. The style back then was for action figures to be so absurdly shredded that everything was molded like a professional body builder. I think action movie stars like Arnold and also the popularity of WWF made being absolutely shredded “in vogue” in the 90’s.
I give a fair amount of guff to Hasbro, and many of the gripes you mention for modern renditions in the classic 1:18 scale are spot on. I realize it is not your thing, but they have NAILED it with their 6" Black Series line. Trouble with vehicles in that scale is they are so large they need to also double as furniture!
I only buy 5POA when it's on sale. The reason I do this, is because before Disney, I could get Vintage collection figures for $2 more here in Australia. Why oh why, would I pay $12 for 5POA that's loaded with accessories not even in the films?
If Hasbro is so intent on two packs, or including useless over sized accessories, they instead packaged every figure with a Stormtrooper figure? That way kids have two figures that can fight, or if they pursue the line, have a ready made army of bad guys? I wouldn't even mind if they sacrificed some articulation - make their legs static if it saves on production cost and meets the price point.
Enjoyed the video. The Rogue One toys aren't a perfect toy line but for a single standalone movie I think they did well. The sculpts and paint applications are better than the Force Awakens line and and the card art makes for better display in my view. There is definitely a lack of vehicles but I'm not too surprised by that, either. You have the Black Series, the 3.75" Black Series, The Elite Series, and now 12" figures. There's just too many different options/variations for the line. If they focused on the 6" Black Series and the regular 3.75" I'd think both lines would have a greater chance of expansion and success.
I tend to do that now, buy two of the same figure so I have a carded one and one for display. But is it really worth it? I’ve collected figures from both The Force Awakens and Rogue One, but only two from The Las Jedi, and I’m wondering is it worth keeping the carded figures so they would be worth something in the future?
For me it's a pretty exciting time to be a Star Wars fan. I loved the original trilogy, hated the prequels, and I enjoyed Force Awakens and love Rogue One. Maybe not my third favorite, but I'd say #4 is a safe bet.
Might I suggest using an alternate title theme song when doing a "modern" line...j/k Great content thank you for all the work put into making these videos.
Does anyone have any problems with the K2 figure? I’ve purchased 5, and so far 4 of them have this issue where they tilt forward from their ankles, making it impossible to stand them up, even with the use of figure stands? I’m not sure if it is the quality of the plastic, or possibly due to recent summer heatwaves.
I too got a job at TRU to grab up power of the force figures...we all got burned on those, we expected major collectors items and got plastic closet clutter.
The Power of the Force got a bit better towards the end, and the vehicles are better than the ones we get today. We also got a cool Bantha, a pretty cool Freezing Chamber, and figures we never got in the original line up (Grand Moff Tarkin, Wuher, etc.), but the first year figures were pretty bad.
I worked at TRU from 98-05 initially to get toys. I still have all my POTF2, hopefully everyone else's stuff is destroyed in storage or opened in the next 20 years.
Mike great point about dropping the stupid add ons and just lowering the price of the figure.
Thanks Robert
I would love to have a blue leader figure with a nice X-wing fighter.
Thor13332 , I agree! Blue Leader (General Merrick) is one of my fave Rogue One characters. A Mon Mothma & Adm. Raddus, and Grand Moff Tarkin figure would've been great as well.
You got your wish buddy they just announced it
Hey
The problem is Hasbro has executives making decisions and not people who actually know. Great video Mike.
Great profile pic! :D
I dunno, I haven't had any issues with the super-articulated figures. I've gotten them in some good stances and poses without any problems. Then again, I've had posable SW figures since the Legacy Collection. Mine sit down pretty well, lol. But I think you're right about how much easier it is to get the more basic figures to stand up.

I guess I'm all over the board, haha. Cool review, though. You make some very interesting points that I agree with. Love your channel. Please make more videos SOON.
Same here! I collect the vintage collection and I set them up in scenes and they look awesome
Would love to see you guys review old toy fair catalogs that feature prototype figures.
Another great installment from Retro Blasting. Thank you for all the hard work! You guys are the best toy channel on youtube.
Much appreciated, Max!
Michael, you are so on point about the Hasbro strategy and why it's an epic fail. Hasbro should go back to basic GI Joe POA and give us variety
+Rmkorp AMEN
I mean there’s the vintage collection, even if Playsets are severely lacking there
Michael, I like how you got us there at the end; showing the TIE and saying: "are right here in the studio."
Reminds me of an old classic cliff hanger for a two part episode.
You know how to keep us coming back for more.
HAHA! Thanks Defiant!
You encapsulated ever issue I have with the modern figures and the PofF2 line. Excellent as always, RetroBlasting!
Those figures look so much nicer in your video than at the store. I can only guess it's because at the store, the price for all those extra useless parts is staring me in the face just as prominently.
Great to have you guys back on TH-cam, we've missed you!
Likewise! We've missed you all as well!
Great video. Thanks for taking the same time and effort you put in the vintage videos with this one. Love you guys, stay safe.
These vids are easily as good as Saturday morning cartoons! I listen to you while I’m working and I’m never disappointed!
I've been waiting for this video since you mentioned it in your unboxing video, thanks for another awesome video guys!
I see your point about 5POA, I still like the vintage collection, but I really like the sculpts of the simpler figs.
I don't really have a problem with 5POA because when I was a kid I remember my Star Wars guys not being as annoying to arrange in massive battles as my Joes, and easier to quickly redeploy. My Joes were good as snipers and ninjas, though.....and I was living in Alaska when Empire came out, so we were all pretty much addicted to the Battle of Hoth....aaaannd I was living in Oregon when Jedi came out, so we were all pretty addicted to the Battle of Endor then. Great video, good keeping your word!
Great video and the best part was just hearing you tell the story and especially in the first few minutes. I'd be that many a collector has done what you did or some similar variation. And I'll never be sure what the deal was with Power of the Force and the unrealisticness of them. Super job and very entertaining!
When I saw this in my sub box, I screamed. Love you two.
HAHA! Thanks Roadbuster!
***** please, call me Matt.
Great video retro blasting (as always) loved rouge one and love all vintage toys you're the best
West End Star Wars RPG! The tiny island that sustained my Star Wars fandom during the Dark Times of the late 80's and very early 90's.
Thanks for a really interesting insight into this toy line, whilst I wasn't a huge fan of the film I was glad to see you guys cover this. Look forward to seeing more reviews, well done!

Great video as always guys.
you guys never disappoint great vid! wish they were a little more often but i understand
They'll be more often very soon.
This 2 part video is so good, I re-watch it every few months.
the main problem i have with 5 poa figures is when they have an useless pose in the arm. i bought a Kanan figure from the rebels series and his hand is sculpted turned to the right,so he holds his saber with the blade awkwardly and looks wierd. if they are gonna stick with the 5 poa at least have a good basic action pose,so it is useful. i also think you gave us a very good honest review showing both the good and the bad.

Love your channel. Nice to have you back !
Glad to be back! :)
"Gummy-jointed" is a perfect description.
In the '70s and '80s I would have enjoyed my Star Wars figures more had they have been more detailed and accurately pose-able.
Michael, your a stand up guy for keeping your word. I have yet to see Rogue One but am so glad you enjoyed it and that it's self is an endorsement. Great work as always.
Loved it!!! Thanks for making yet again a great video!!!
+Daggys Retro Adventure thanks for watching!
Welcome back!!!We missed you guys!
+Bubblewrapped Memories missed you too!
Once again Retroblasting you hit the nail on the head.
+JTR1974 I try to as best I can while avoiding my thumb. :)
Pao and Edrio Two-Tubes are two of my favorite figures in my collection at the moment. Edrio has the standard 5poa arms and legs, but the ball joint in his neck makes him a bit unsettling when posed with his head tilted, which really works for his character.

*Welcome to 2023!* - Today, we can look can look back, and see just how, we were all --- manipulated.
Excellent video and review as always .. greetings from Argentina!
Awesome video Michael and Melinda!
Trying to fit the PotF2 figures into the vehicles was one of the banes of my childhood.
Oh WOW.... I don't even know where to start! 😊
1) The video is awesome, balanced, funny, informative, objective, well written... I didn't expect less from you guys, and it certainly made my Sunday!

Thank You for this video, a million Thanks, can't wait for the next one!!!
+Leo Mad thanks Leo!
This was a nice surprise. Good critique as always.
Nice to see another SW video. I love your reviews.
They just announced a Hovertank from the new Vintage Collection. Rest assured.
In my playing days, I wanted a bonus one-peas enemy in a fighting pose to come with every figure.
Imagine a Stormtrooper or Cobra Comando for every hearo to fight!
Love that you adressed 5POA and the 'extra' un nessesary bulky weapons... I collected most of the Force Awakens figures but passed one the Roug One toys myself
I got the u wing and tie striker, waiting/ hoping the At-ACT drops in price. At £299 it's bloody stupid!
Really enjoyed Rogue One, I do think Revenge of the Sith is underrated and each prequel should be considered in isolation. That said the original trilogy are my three favourites, then Force Awakens, then ROTS and then Rogue One. Off all 8 movies only 2 are duds by my standards and the last hour of AOTC is entertaining despite how bad the rest of the movie is with bizarre comments about sand....
Speaking of Power of the Force, a friend of mine called the overly long lightsabers "light claymores."
I really like the Black Series versions of the Rouge One figure. I love your point about the "throw-back" type look. It really works with this line.
HAHAHAHAHAA .."you make 10 jerks look like a 100!!" classic
You could remove the bottle and neck think by taking off her head and pulling the neck thing off of the beck then the bottle is on a peg which you can pull off and her arm can move a bit better but her hand still won't touch the poncho

Great review. I have few those action figures I don't collect to much Star Wars anymore. Hasbro's over pricing is part of it plus I have been collecting Star Wars since 1978 just don't have the space for it anymore.
Modern toys review? What witchcraft be this ?
+sxhbk a promise. Nothing more. Don't panic.
RetroBlasting I know you rarely talk or review new toys, but will you review the new upcoming die-cast Voltron:)?
Don't worry - many more vintage toys on the way.
only three vehicles i know hope in the second part we get to find out your thoughts on why only three? the pre disney hasbro bought out a lot of vehicles for star wars lego is a different story they make everything
RetroBlasting I'm still waiting for the big Macross video :T
one of the best reviews I've seen
Great vid, worth the wait, looking forward to part 2.
Great video mate .The movie was fantastic and I'm glad you liked it.
Haha, great video. Can't wait for the 2nd part!

It really bugged me that the rogue one toy line was only 5POA. I really liked all the characters. an so many cool army builders.
Blue leader was fun I liked him. But yea no blue xwing. How hard would it have been.
I remember as a kid saving up my stickers or box tops and mailing in for the Emperor. And I got Bobba Fett then found out he did nothing and I stoped playing with him
I loved the Micro Play sets. I still have them.
Could you talk about thoughts. I played with the Hoth one the most.
4:40, in 1995 I was 22. I had been there "in the beginning" but actually liked Power Of The Force 2 (but only bought 2 instead of 45 from 1978-84). I quit collecting in 1984 and actually appreciated POF2 more than those Power Of The Force Kenner figures of 1985. Screw them! I was done at the time.

Thanks BM!
Will you guys do the 80's Doctor Who Dapol figures and playsets?
The only newer Star Wars movie besides maybe Episode 3 where I didn't cringe, roll my eyes and chuckle at multiple times while watching it. Decent looking toys I didn't even know they had made ones based on it.
I really like the very articulated figures, if done well, like what Mattel is doing
loved the New vid can't wait till part2. keep it up Michael and Melinda RB. :-)
Will you be getting the wave 4 figures at all?
Gotta admit, I started my collection on Super articulated figures, and I'm still hunting down figs I need. The TFA figs were good with articulation, but crap with vehicles. Rogue One is bad with articulation, but by now 5POA has grown on me and the great detailed figures make me happy, but still, NO. VEHICLES. I have a friend that made a Blue Leader figure that was amazing, and it's great. you could probably get one customized for cheap, keyword maybe. ALSO, GOOD NEWS (maybe...) there are a few new figs coming out.

Cool video, can't wait for part 2
My favorite SWPOTF toy is the Sebastian Shaw Anakin with the EP1 flashback card.
Once again, an awesome review!
I admit, as I've grown older I've come to appreciate the classic 5 points of vintage toys. Also, I really love that yeti dude
welcome back retroblasting!
+teenagefc glad to be back

Will you be doing a review of the Black Series figures? Would love to see that
Hover tank came out last year (2019) or in 2018 for $70. Or you waited till hit clearance at WalMart for $20
When are you going to release Part 2?
Dude how can you suck at sitting? Pop that on a tshirt and take my money. Bravo on another great episode.
I give a fair amount of guff to Hasbro, and many of the gripes you mention for modern renditions in the classic 1:18 scale are spot on. I realize it is not your thing, but they have NAILED it with their 6" Black Series line. Trouble with vehicles in that scale is they are so large they need to also double as furniture!
Looking forward to your opinion on the vehicles... i have the tie striker just cause it looked cool.. plastic quality is another thing..
I only buy 5POA when it's on sale. The reason I do this, is because before Disney, I could get Vintage collection figures for $2 more here in Australia. Why oh why, would I pay $12 for 5POA that's loaded with accessories not even in the films?

Will the 6 inch black series be in part 2?
+Tattooine77 yes
I remember 7 years ago when I was 7 my mom got me bespin luke for Christmas and I loved it!
4:21 oh man I fell into the same trap as you Michael.
I invested into The Last Jedi 3.75 figure just to be disappointed a few months later.
Enjoyed the video. The Rogue One toys aren't a perfect toy line but for a single standalone movie I think they did well. The sculpts and paint applications are better than the Force Awakens line and and the card art makes for better display in my view. There is definitely a lack of vehicles but I'm not too surprised by that, either. You have the Black Series, the 3.75" Black Series, The Elite Series, and now 12" figures. There's just too many different options/variations for the line. If they focused on the 6" Black Series and the regular 3.75" I'd think both lines would have a greater chance of expansion and success.
I tend to do that now, buy two of the same figure so I have a carded one and one for display. But is it really worth it? I’ve collected figures from both The Force Awakens and Rogue One, but only two from The Las Jedi, and I’m wondering is it worth keeping the carded figures so they would be worth something in the future?
Excellent review and insight into both vintage and more modern lines.
I know I'm probably in the minority but Rogue One is my 3rd favorite Star Wars film.
For me it's a pretty exciting time to be a Star Wars fan. I loved the original trilogy, hated the prequels, and I enjoyed Force Awakens and love Rogue One. Maybe not my third favorite, but I'd say #4 is a safe bet.

Steven Mabee That part was funny because i did the same thing during my summer in high school to get the new POTF2 figures at toysrus.
Will you do a review of the figures for Solo?
Wait do you still need the Han on TaunTaun because there’s one for like 11 dollars in box at my comic book store
I worked at TRU from 98-05 initially to get toys. I still have all my POTF2, hopefully everyone else's stuff is destroyed in storage or opened in the next 20 years.
