Wow... that is disappointing. This figure looks pretty good but it seems to be incredibly fiddly - and that shoulder bell is just unacceptable. You may very well have gotten a funky one. Glad I only ordered one for now. Thanks for sharing!
Kind of expected some of those issues when I saw the design, but those shoulder pauldrons looks annoying. Hope it’s not a widespread issue. But Ahsoka is definitely the one I’ve been wanting to see the most to I can’t wait to see her review. She looks amazing.
Is really a shame about the magna guard. They are supposed to be an imposing and agile droid. The height and bulk just looks wrong to me next to the b1
Ahh man, while I was initially annoyed at myself for not preordering this one, I'm happy to just wait now that I've seen your review. This figure is a prime example of why hasbro should be putting stands in with these figures.
just for anyone watching there is a swivel just above the knee, but as it is the same light grey plastic it looks like one solid piece. It may be stiff but I found if you brace each side of the knee peg with your finger and turn it will swivel. Also while it sucks that there’s such poor quality control and you shouldn’t have to Customise a figure just for it to be playable, I Glued the shoulder pads to the arm like the 2020 clone mold and glued the effects pieces to the staff. Now they are really fun to use and not as finnicky, especially if you get lucky and pick up a droid with more balanced friction in the joints
Great review - shame these have a fair amount of issues, it's such a cool design. Still gonna get a couple to flank Grievous, but I imagine I won't mess with them much and the they'll just stand there on the shelf.
Recently I rewatched Clone Wars and now I want to get a Count Dooku and a couple of Magnaguards, but from seeing the video they don’t look the best without head piece, so I’ll think about it, still cool figure Edit: now that I think about it, this reminds me of the vintage series magnaguard, just slightly better
Thanks for the review Luke, the Magnaguard definitely looks good but it is unfortunate to hear the issues it has, still gonna pick up two of them because I can’t go without Magnaguards on the shelf but this will definitely limit how many more I would have gotten.
Great review, thanks! Yes, this is pretty disappointing, especially with how they're getting rid of the thigh swivel. This went from being a no-brainer to 'maybe.'
Noooooo! That's too bad. Also, agreed, it seems a tad short compared to Dooku and the B1. I double checked the wiki and they should all be the same height. So that's a bummer.
I was gonna display mine next to Grievous anyway, so at least they can bond over how unmanageable both of those figures are. Still gonna get one given how essential they are to the separatist forces
Got this figure today. Softgoods kinda feel cheap, and the joints can be stiff. The head is ridiculously hard to remove and harder to put back on. The head wrap sculpt is also insanely hard to take off and put back on, which is worrisome when the plastic feels like it can tear if you apply enough pressure. The legs are a huge problem when they come warped in two different ways, becoming hard to correct its posture. All in all, $27 before tax and shipping is too much. The shoulder pads really don’t like to stay on either, they would fall off each time I touched the figure. Should’ve been sold for half that price with all these glaring issues/flaws. That being said, after using some hot water, I was able to straighten out the legs enough to get him in relatively natural poses. Good articulation, and great mold for the figure; just REALLY needed more R&D. They had YEARS to get this right.
my main issue is how small it is, but also those feet suck as well as the pauldrons, oh and the wrist being so hard to swivel. but i think its still worth picking up like 2 or 3 they look very cool and just knowing how menacing they are in the show i love them
The cape swap....chef's kiss. I thought this figure when I saw it first announced looked either rushed or cheaply made. Disappointing. Thanks for the review.
Man where do I start with this figure. I got it a few weeks ago as Hasbro Pulse Malaysia was already shipping the wave out. I've been collecting Black Series for three years and this was the first figure I broke (and subsequently bought another one to replace it). It felt like they put a swivel right below the knee and due to the flexibility of the material, it felt like there was one and it was just stuck, so I ended up twisting it not realising I was tearing it off. Didn't even know there were swivels above the leg joints and in the arms because I was so scared of breaking it further, and I didn't even attempt to remove the cape and headwrap because of that. There's just something about the figure that feels fragile and uncomfortable to handle, and just like the B1 droid it has a habit of shelf diving. Usually I keep new figures at my desk for a while so I can fiddle with them between doing things, but with the magnaguard I spent most of that time just keeping it in one pose and putting it back up when it falls over. Glad you made this review as you've articulated my gripes with it better than I could so people who haven't gotten the figure yet know what to expect from it. On the bright side, the figure at least looks really good and has a shelf presence.
The magnaguard is seen in both blue and in white in revenge of the sith. You can also see the 2005 figure comes in both white/gray and the blue version. Idk why people immediately jump to saying it’s not from revenge of the sith.
I’m glad I just ordered one Magnaguard to start with. I think that’s all I want. Mine had a few of the narrower parts of the limbs slightly bent. I think I’ll get it into some kind of decent pose and leave it alone. Thanks for the review.
Oh that's a bummer. I was really excited from the promo pics making it look very posable. I'll have to get one just because I love droids, and those staffs are cool
Hopefully it isn't a super wide spread issue with the shoulder pads. The scaling does look a tad off, but then again it could be that we're dealing with a 12th of the full scale and it's just difficult to tell. I will say the plastic cape doesn't look great on the magnaguard! Not just because the design isn't on it, but it just looks off with the neck hole being too wide. Plus, soft goods are better for more posing.
@@LandspeederLuke it definetly is, though if it happens to me, I might glue them hinged outward or I might try to mod the pegs. While it is annoying for the shoulder pads to pop off, it's better than them breaking off. Also, I recommend using hot water to loosen the ankles or use some silicone shock oil.
I ended up picking this up recently from Zing (Australia) and found mine had it’s left arm rotated the wrong way (kinda looks like he’s is too tbh), it’s left leg had deformed due to how it was secured in the cardboard (it is a pretty hot Aussie summer so not too surprising), and it’s shoulder cape was rotated a but too far behind itself (was a super fiddly to rotate it the right way). Regarding the staffs; if you watch EP3 you can actually see MagnaGuards (on the Invisable Hand and on Utapu) use both kind of staffs and the electric effects trigger just before the bulbs or spikes.
I hate the ankles. I've been having that issue with a lot of my Black Series lately, as well as my Marvel Legends. It either locks too far forward or too far back and makes it so difficult to try and just get a normal vanilla pose.
someone in my fb group already broken the knee joint, said the plastic was too soft. also very dissapointed that its short, shouldve been at least the same height as battle droid or even taller. im fearful that the new superbattle droid will have the same issues
@@hanif-pl5hd I don't see that happening. Bandai model doesn't release many Star Wars action figure kits and the Magnaguard has not been featured in any recent media.
The pauldrons are a menace, I’ve already lost one of them but thankfully the cape can cover the exposed shoulder. A positive of the figure is the spare electrostaff, which fits nicely with an HK droid to stage a duel with Ahsoka.
Hello Luke thanks for sharing your thoughts on the new Magna Guard figure. I've got two of these figures on preorder and I had high hopes for the look and scale of these droids. These sound like a headache and a half to pose and just stand up. For myself I'll probably just glue the shoulder pads on my figures and not have to worry about it anymore. The scale definitely looks off, too short. As someone else commented they were probably scaled to stand with General Grievous or that is how they will look the best. At least I can put them next to my Walmart Clone Wars Grievous and they'll look better. Thanks again Luke for your review of this figure, I'll have to see him in person but sounds like a big disappointment. Take care my friend, Tom
This figure looks amazing …. But it is annoying to handle and the shoulder pads are bad and the legs are annoying I just opened mine and didn’t realise how annoying and awesome it is lol
A shame it has issues posing and standing. I like the look of this droid. The soft goods cape looks pretty good. Re: the shoulder pad falling off. Does it need to articulate? If not then maybe superglue it to the ball joints. If it does need to tilt then possibly smear a fine layer of superglue onto the ball pegs to thicken them and make them tighter.
thanks for the review Luke. I think everyone is really looking forward to this one, so this is kinda sad to see the negatives. Also, I didn't know you designed those hexagon stands?!? JK
Excellent pickups of the new black series star wars figures keep collecting and may the force be with you all star wars fans the force is strong with this one landspeeder luke
Just seeing the title and thumbnail made my heart sink. Was really looking forward to this, but it feels like it needed another pass in the design phase to iron out the kinks. The shoulders are extra annoying, because it's not like they had to go full SHF with them to get them out of the way. Other lines manage just fine. But the ankles... that's kind of inexcusable. McFarlane ankles aren't even that bad, and their ankles are kind of a meme for how awkward the indents are. It would've taken seconds to add another "position" to the ankles. The wrists just push it over the line to "wait for a sale" for me. Really disappointing.
I got the Magnaguard From GameStop and you were right the Shoulder Robot pad thingy whatever they do pop off so do you think I should hot glue it Or what Do I do?
Ive got a pre order on this..hope its just a one off problem..we shall see..my Grevious figure was so bad that his leg snapped( but fixed )..nice to nice to know the HK will have a staff now..cheers🍺🍺🍻
Some issues but doesn’t kill it for me , I actually think there are more issues with the b1 battle droids but I still got five of those lol nice review man , jealous you got these so early
Honestly i dont really pose or move my black series ive bought around much. So im not too upset about this. I just wanted a visually appealing magnaguard.
If those paldrons annoy me enough they will recieve the Kragle treatment. I understand how lanky battledroids are, but its a shame the black series end up making them so fiddly. Theres no excuse for those 2014 ankle detents
That shoulder pad issue is going to be very annoying if it’s a problem on every copy of the figure since black series are always my go to figures to leave out on my desk and pose cause of how durable they are. Honestly might just be worth it to glue it in place cause it doesn’t seem to give much more articulation when you move the shoulder up anyways since the bottom of the pad runs into the bicep.
Two of mine just came in today and yeah, same problem and same idea occured to me. As long as you glue them tilted down you won't lose any articulation that wouldn't have just popped them off anyways.
Hasbro Ankle Detents are the bane of the entire line. I dont know why they have not changed/improved this design choice after the better part of a decade. Thats a shame. A bandai model kit of this droid would be prefered.
i collect dbz shf and the other anime lines in the shf line and none of them are that finicky i think it is mostly the older figures from around 2010 to 2015 but after that they got so much better
It's disappointing to hear the issues with this magnaguard after years of going without a 6 inch one. I really hope that the upcoming black series super battle droid does it justice.
There’s not much you can do about that shoulder piece. The Joy Toy Warhammer 40K space msrine figs all have similar shoulder armor and they frequently pop off and they’re 4” scale and anywhere from $33 to $120 each. Theyre frickin’ awesome and there’s maybe 150 of them or more and those damn armor pieces will pop if youre not careful. It’s a line that’s made to look good in a pose and nothing more. The articulation is there but there are engineering problems that I feel they really cant fix at the end of the day.
I get that the design is limiting but this just looked uncomfortable to hold and pose. Thin limbs, gummy plastic, pieces popping off, stuck joints... high price...
I unpacked Mine tried to manipulate the twisted legsand at First the foot Broke off....its an tiny peg which Joint the Leg with foot......totally crap .the Idiot which did designl this Thing should BE buttkicked......painting ist crappy too.i repaint and resculpt any black series because the Paint never IS good and making the Figures Look Like toy...but this figure is badly designed Not to recommend...... bommer
Wow... that is disappointing. This figure looks pretty good but it seems to be incredibly fiddly - and that shoulder bell is just unacceptable. You may very well have gotten a funky one. Glad I only ordered one for now. Thanks for sharing!
I swear black series notched ankle joints are the bane of my existence.

The cape swap....chef's kiss. I thought this figure when I saw it first announced looked either rushed or cheaply made. Disappointing. Thanks for the review.
Wow, that’s kind of disappointing. Still a pickup for me, but definitely one that will make good use of your hexagon stands!
If Bandai still did model kits, their counterpart already would have been superior

Should have been slightly taller then the B1. Magnaguards are 6'5 compared to B1's 6'3.
i hope bandai model kit will make a magnaguard, they made grievous accurately scale

Just got them today. I noticed if you flip the shoulder pads upside down they fit much tighter.
Oh wow, I’m gutted that this figure turned out to be so bad , the magnaguard is by far my favourite droid design. Oh well I’ll just get one :(
Flashbacks of posing K-2SO.
Don't think I will get a chance to find out I have no idea what happened to release in Australia they were out of stock before they came out.

I just opened mine and didn’t realise how annoying and awesome it is lol
Not only the figure seems fiddly is also too small, I'm remember Magna guard almost tall as General Grievous
Awesome review!

That’s my plan too
I figured they'd be frustrating just like the B1and K2 series droids, but posing aside the shoulder pads popping off like popcorn is disappointing.
im sore its hard to stand... like gen grevious its probably to top heavy
Honestly I'm still super happy with it. This doesn't dampen my hype haha
Glad to hear it! There’s still a lot to enjoy with this figure
we need Bandai to put out some model kits
I am still getting four . 2 for Count Dooku and 2 for Grievous
Hasbro Ankle Detents are the bane of the entire line. I dont know why they have not changed/improved this design choice after the better part of a decade. Thats a shame. A bandai model kit of this droid would be prefered.
Great review! Thanks!
As disappointing as they are I'm still gonna pick some up. Grievous needs his magnaguards and they still look pretty neat
So it's just like the OG 2005 3.75" figure. That thing was a mess too. The chest piece falls off easily.
I will fix a shoulder pad with magnets 😅😅 ,i had preordered for two box😅
I took mine out of the box a few hours ago and as soon as I moved one of his ankles the joint broke.
I hate the shoulder Pats but the Rest is goof
Well time to cancel my order
Thanks for the honest review. Hey Luke can you please provide a link for that custom Dooku head? Want to get it.
Nunojj on insta!
I am getting the same feeling as the old vintage collection mangaguard
i collect dbz shf and the other anime lines in the shf line and none of them are that finicky i think it is mostly the older figures from around 2010 to 2015 but after that they got so much better
I have the SHF Mando/Boba and the shoulder pads pop off sometimes but not as bad as this.
@@LandspeederLukeyeah my Boba does that sometimes but like u said it's not that bad compared to the magna guard
Looking at the shoulder joint range , does the shoulder guard even need to move? Could it just be glued with no loss of articulation ?
Where I can get those 3d printed stands? They look great.
The foot snapped clean off of mine when I tried to pose it, I think both the joints were deformed :(
Thanks LL, you saved me some shekels.
I don't know, I kinda like it.
Hey Luke,
Love your videos mate ! Quick question; how did you get the HK-47 droid to look so awesome ?
Ah the Clone has the knee pads on upside down.
Thanks for the review! Will you model a flex resin cape similar to Gor's?
It's disappointing to hear the issues with this magnaguard after years of going without a 6 inch one. I really hope that the upcoming black series super battle droid does it justice.
There’s not much you can do about that shoulder piece. The Joy Toy Warhammer 40K space msrine figs all have similar shoulder armor and they frequently pop off and they’re 4” scale and anywhere from $33 to $120 each. Theyre frickin’ awesome and there’s maybe 150 of them or more and those damn armor pieces will pop if youre not careful. It’s a line that’s made to look good in a pose and nothing more. The articulation is there but there are engineering problems that I feel they really cant fix at the end of the day.
He isn't underscaled. Actually b1s were very tall
ahsoka next !
"What a piece of junk!" - Luke Skywalker
When does these come out???
This is a certified Hasbro classic
The figure is extremely undersized for a droid that’s like 6’5-6’6
I get that the design is limiting but this just looked uncomfortable to hold and pose. Thin limbs, gummy plastic, pieces popping off, stuck joints... high price...
A little disappointing, might have to pass.
Personally some of the lightsabers come off super Eayly for me
Let me guess it’s gummy, rubbery plastic?
God damn that was quick - Also, could we see how the HK-87 droids look with the pare staff seeing as they didn’t come with one.
4:00
Not sure what your smoking but this figure is sick! The shoulder pad isn’t that big of a deal AND the figure stands
Let me know what you think when you get it in hand. I’m excited to hear everyone’s thoughts.
I unpacked Mine tried to manipulate the twisted legsand at First the foot Broke off....its an tiny peg which Joint the Leg with foot......totally crap .the Idiot which did designl this Thing should BE buttkicked......painting ist crappy too.i repaint and resculpt any black series because the Paint never IS good and making the Figures Look Like toy...but this figure is badly designed Not to recommend...... bommer
need to bend the arm dude
You mean in the final pose?
@@LandspeederLuke yeah :) seeing it bend like that triggered something in me lol
