The storm trooper with a lightsaber, reminded me of moment in Rebels, when Kanan, in full storm trooper gear, slashing walkers with his lightsaber! lol one of the best moments of star wars tv IMO. ☺👍
Love that they're actually doing comic figures. Hope they do more! Inspector Tolvan, Sana Starros, Queen Trios, Commander Kanchar, Queen of Ktath’atn, Commander Zahra and Eli Vanto would all make great figures!
looking at pics of Zuke, that is definitely what's gonna be used lol. From the looks of it they probably used Zuke as a reference to design wrecker himself
When I first read the series years back I was certain we'd never get figures of these guys and that I'd have to Frankenstein First Order stormtrooper parts with OT stormtrooper parts to make a Kreel. Now I want the rest of the team!
Kreel is my favorite Stormtrooper of all time I love the Star Wars Comic's he appears in which take place between a new hope and empire strikes back it had 75 issues in the Comic Book series and I own every issue
"I might have to do some heat and poppin" I inserted "and lockin" in my head after you said that hahaha. Thanks for the review hope you are doing well!
Not sure when you started the fancy post-review camera angles and transitions Robo, but just wanted to say they look great. Great review/overview as usual
I like they used mostly the new body; at first I was like why the change from the original body, but it’s been more fun to pose than the other troopers I have, especially on dying/ragdoll poses.
I actually have read very little of the new comics. But when I saw hasbro was releasing a stormtrooper with a lightsaber I was intrigued! Kreel is an absolute badass, so I for one am glad they got me interested
Got mine in the mail a couple days go and my first thought, I want the rest of SCAR. I think people who have not read the comics will buy them because of the design. Love the Kreel character
With comic book pack ins becoming more common again, I would love it if Hasbro were to start including reprints with these or even like a download code for a digital copy. It wouldn't benefit me, but it would give toy collectors who aren't reading the comics a way to jump in.
Honestly I´ve been hating the Black Series line for a while (I think it's unreasonably expensive for the quality and the VC line is getting way better) but this thing is so attractive, It's a simple, yet well done figure, that lightsaber color along with the orange pauldron, the blue screen data communicator whatever it is, plus the classic white and black stormtrooper colors,made me preorder this figure and I'm glad I did. Thank you for the nice review as always!
Star Wars, Stormtrooper, lightsaber, nuff said! Btw, I missed out on this guy but recently found him in a lot sealed for a good price. Got Mic for $19 waiting for Kreel to arrive!
I got 2, when I can I will buy more for Army Building as I try with all different Troopers. I use mine differently than most people as I use all Aliens and Stormtroopers as Thanos Army. Mandalorians and any Halo Troopers as Kang Army.
So happy for you that y'all got to get out of state, do SDCC, see new toys, and either y'all had fun or earned an award. Personally I HATE crowds that big (even if I would fit in, in that group of people, I can't take that many) but have spent a bit of time missing friends in other states lately, and would like to go see one or two of 'em. Anyway made me smile to see people I love enjoying life. Good On Ya
The world could definitely use more comments like these. Good on YOU, for sharing your happiness on other peoples behalf, and thank you for spreading that happiness. All the best to you, too. I hope you get to see some of those folks you're missing, friend.
Robo apparently also got to help reveal (at least?) one new toy at SDCC. He was snapped holding (bringing out?) a new figure during one of the reveal panels.
So if you look in the centre of his belt there’s a “rivet cover” button …..so they have made the sculpt ready for ANH luke and Han. The other “new” stormtroopers we’ve gotten so far don’t have that button as they’re based on rogue one armour and obv has the holster for the e11 ,also not on rogue one armour so I don’t think it’ll be long till we get new stormtrooper disguise ANH figures….I’m happy (being a 501st member makes me see those tiny details) 🤓
SCAR Squadron is the Bad Batch with Stormtroopers, giving that Hasbro is reusing/repainting anything being made before, it means that could be made easily by Hasbro. Just saying...
Yaay a Fwoosh review. This is a killer looking figure. And the proper weapon holing hinge. Even Lord Vader hasn't gotten that yet. I haven't read any of his comic book appearances, but who cares. Stormtrooper with a light sabre. Some of my Stormies have unsymmetrical torso armour. Lower at one side than the other.
Hope they give us jax and other members of tf99. My guess is if they ll contiue the others they ll make misty as thats how it goes leader then sniper with those crews like delta and bad batch. For custom misty i think the rifle ll have to be new and you can try and re use bad batch rex cape i think
The crooked torso seems to be a thing with other troopers using this body (my Flametroopers and clean Remnant troopers have the same issue, but the Mortar Trooper doesn't have it)
The only black series I’ve bought, cuz it hit my POL . I love Stormtroopers , I have 20. Too bad I don’t spend money on these . Hakuna Matata Shy guy Robo !!
I think this is the first time I've had a character before you. Maybe it's because I used Hasbro Pulse instead of Gamestop lol. Anyway I'm very happy with him personally. Wish he had some dirt or like maybe some of that citadel ink stuff they use in Warhammer to make him look a little grimey, like dirt getting into the edges and cracks.
They need to stick to the same helmet molds or at least get better at quality control. My damn stormtrooper army build looks like a charity cosplay group. Lol
That belt might be reuse of the imperial jet trooper from a few years back. I noticed the E-11 is also reuse from the older sculpt that came with the jet trooper as well, the only difference in the belt (that I could see) is that it is now black instead of white.
Oooo, yeah, that did have a holster and clasp on the front huh? Doesn't look to have the right hip pouch though. And I figured the blaster was some kind of reuse but didn't go hunting.
Stopped reading the comics as these guys showed up, but I was exposed to them enough to want this figure. In hand--SUPER fun and a great leader to my Stormtroopers in general.
They should have used the old Stormtrooper sculpt as nearly every panel of Kreel (and most other Stormtroopers) in the comics are traced photos of the OG Black Series Stormtrooper figure on top of which the "artist" drew the attachments and changes. You can clearly see it with the picture on the inside of the cover flap (which is also the worst action figure posing in any of these comics). Hilarious that Hasbro went with that picture but not the figure. The laziness of all the artists involved with these comics is what makes me despise the post-Disney acquisition Marvel comics as no pictures have the same level of detail or energy put in as back with Dark Horse, and the story concepts are also not getting the care they need or deserve.
Normal figures are 30 for me. Deluxe almost 50. These are about 35-40. So welcome To my collecting world. Btw im talking about euro but euro and dollar is about same right now
I agree. They aren't worth it and the Deluxe boxes give you less and less. Thinking about cancelling my Dark Trooper. I went from 3 to 1. And I'm thinking about going to 0
The storm trooper with a lightsaber, reminded me of moment in Rebels, when Kanan, in full storm trooper gear, slashing walkers with his lightsaber! lol one of the best moments of star wars tv IMO. ☺👍
lol, Rebels
@@Jack-ji8kr rebels, lol
Had this guy for a while and he is definitely one of my favourite figures ever! A stormtrooper with a LIGHTSABER
Love that they're actually doing comic figures. Hope they do more! Inspector Tolvan, Sana Starros, Queen Trios, Commander Kanchar, Queen of Ktath’atn, Commander Zahra and Eli Vanto would all make great figures!
For Zuke, I think a Wrecker with a modded OG mold Stormtrooper head may be a good place to start
Yeah that would be nice
looking at pics of Zuke, that is definitely what's gonna be used lol. From the looks of it they probably used Zuke as a reference to design wrecker himself

I said the exact same thing when I got mine. Storm trooper, light saber, bad ass.🤘🏻
I've not read many of the comics, but a Trooper with a lightsaber is definitely nice
Happy to hear you talking about toys again
I like this figure way more than I expected, can’t wait to get him. And 2 trigger fingers!!! We need that on all dual wield characters.
"I might have to do some heat and poppin" I inserted "and lockin" in my head after you said that hahaha. Thanks for the review hope you are doing well!

I actually love the figure. I need to pick him and Yavin Ceremony Luke up so I can pose them fighting.
Also I love the way you pose the figures! I steal a lot of the ideas lol!!!
I love Sgt Kreel from the comics. I'm pretty psyched to get this one.
Awesome poses Robo. Gonna have to use one of them for my display!
Outstanding, waiting on mine.
Considered canceling my preorder for him ... but, yeah, Stormtrooper Lightsaber.
Got mine in the mail a couple days go and my first thought, I want the rest of SCAR. I think people who have not read the comics will buy them because of the design.
Love the Kreel character
The head underneath is a blank bald boba fett

Hell Yeah! New Star Wars the Black series Fwoosh Review Nice!
Star Wars and another stormtrooper 🤘🏽🤙🏽
Star Wars, Stormtrooper, lightsaber, nuff said! Btw, I missed out on this guy but recently found him in a lot sealed for a good price. Got Mic for $19 waiting for Kreel to arrive!
I got 2, when I can I will buy more for Army Building as I try with all different Troopers. I use mine differently than most people as I use all Aliens and Stormtroopers as Thanos Army. Mandalorians and any Halo Troopers as Kang Army.
I'll have to pick this up sometime, but I started collecting G. I. Joe Classified, so funds are thinner,lol.
So happy for you that y'all got to get out of state, do SDCC, see new toys, and either y'all had fun or earned an award.

for the big scar squadron guy, skylu3d has a blaze trooper kit modeled up!
Include a mini comic or an issued comic I think this line would do a lot better! But pretty cool!
Oh yeah, that would be cooler, and add more value!
Love this… can’t wait to get mine!
Thx 4 the info 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥,and congratulations 🐐
I’ve been going deep into the comics, really good stuff for sure
You should have used a venca figure for the intro…
“Brother!?”
“You know it!”
SCAR Squadron is the Bad Batch with Stormtroopers, giving that Hasbro is reusing/repainting anything being made before, it means that could be made easily by Hasbro. Just saying...
Yaay a Fwoosh review.
This is a killer looking figure. And the proper weapon holing hinge. Even Lord Vader hasn't gotten that yet.
I haven't read any of his comic book appearances, but who cares. Stormtrooper with a light sabre.
Some of my Stormies have unsymmetrical torso armour. Lower at one side than the other.
can you make a haul video showing everything you brought from sdcc
I have been waiting
Hope they give us jax and other members of tf99. My guess is if they ll contiue the others they ll make misty as thats how it goes leader then sniper with those crews like delta and bad batch.
For custom misty i think the rifle ll have to be new and you can try and re use bad batch rex cape i think
Awesome review Robo! Will you be doing a Star Wars shelf tour anytime soon?
Man I hope they do the rest of Kreel's crew, Task Force 99. They're so damn cool. BUT it's a lot of unique molds....
True, but most would be the same Stormtrooper base with new chests and helmets.
4:48 that looks like it was broken or cut off. his white back plate
The crooked torso seems to be a thing with other troopers using this body (my Flametroopers and clean Remnant troopers have the same issue, but the Mortar Trooper doesn't have it)
Can you please tell me what figure that is at the beginning, talking to the Stormtrooper, is it Jeff Bridges or Kurt Russell?
This looks awesome!
Curious y they don't update to have double knees and elbows
The only black series I’ve bought, cuz it hit my POL . I love Stormtroopers , I have 20. Too bad I don’t spend money on these . Hakuna Matata Shy guy Robo !!
I think this is the first time I've had a character before you. Maybe it's because I used Hasbro Pulse instead of Gamestop lol. Anyway I'm very happy with him personally. Wish he had some dirt or like maybe some of that citadel ink stuff they use in Warhammer to make him look a little grimey, like dirt getting into the edges and cracks.
Heh, I used Pulse too.
Thanks robo love you
I'm gonna be in the states in a month, hopefully I can track one of these down.
Aren’t a bunch of new figures supposed to hit shelves soon? When is that?
looks cool and unique, would buy if had a chance
Just a recommendation if you want but there is a build a figure age of apocalypse colossus wave
They need to stick to the same helmet molds or at least get better at quality control. My damn stormtrooper army build looks like a charity cosplay group. Lol
You need a blue stormtrooper with lightsaber!
I’m a sucker too, got it for the same reasons 💁🏾♂️
Nice video
Designwise it's not very clever to have a jetpack right above a thermal detonator - I guess Kreel is living la vida loca
That belt might be reuse of the imperial jet trooper from a few years back. I noticed the E-11 is also reuse from the older sculpt that came with the jet trooper as well, the only difference in the belt (that I could see) is that it is now black instead of white.
Oooo, yeah, that did have a holster and clasp on the front huh? Doesn't look to have the right hip pouch though. And I figured the blaster was some kind of reuse but didn't go hunting.
Look at McQuarrie's original artwork for Star Wars.... stormtroopers had light sabers.
Where is this in stock at right now ?
I got mine from Hasbro Pulse.
@@TheFwoosh thank you fwoosh senpai, ordered mine in the middle of the night.
My Kreel has a symmetrical torso. Looks like yours is a defect. :(
Thank you, that's exactly what i wanted to hear! I'll order another and customize this one into Misty.
Not to mention that new comic boxes are absolutely pathetic being "all paper." Aphra deserved same window treatment as all of these!
It’s my cup of tea. And I usually hate dirty brown water. Killer review!
Omg epicness 12/10 ;-)
Hi robo
Hi Colby
"Badasssss"
nice posing

arf + woof woof + arf arf arf arf + bark bark 🤓👨💻👶🏿👶🏿👨💻🤓
Well, ya can’t really look down in a stormtrooper helmet anyway
I would get him if they didn't have him for 42 FREAKING EUROS where I live
So what are we? some sort of bad batch!?
Other collectors: wrgwidwjlgsukuwjlcwipfeyldwuodwpgedwrfdw..(etc)
Fwoosh: stormtrooper + lightsaber = *n e a t*
Hey, I like what I like, pass on the rest, haha.
I just can't get behind these $30 Black Series comic book figures. I don't see the value there.
Normal figures are 30 for me. Deluxe almost 50. These are about 35-40. So welcome To my collecting world. Btw im talking about euro but euro and dollar is about same right now
I agree. They aren't worth it and the Deluxe boxes give you less and less. Thinking about cancelling my Dark Trooper. I went from 3 to 1. And I'm thinking about going to 0
Nice video
