- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- Yes, the Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Archive wave is reissues with some very, VERY minor changes, but it's the perfect way to get older, hard to get figures like Bossk, Boba Fett, and IG-88 back out there to newer collectors. BOUNTY HUNTERS! Plus X-Wing Luke Skywalker does look better with the Photo Real. Bring on the next wave!

De-valuing? Ridiculous. I’ve been collecting since the beginning and I’m glad these were released again. I think it’s ridiculous the prices these figures were going for on the second market. I want every person who wants these figures to have access to them a reasonable prices. I have to say though, that new Luke face is kinda disappointing.
Agreed. Six months ago I caved and paid $90 for IG-88. A week later Hasbro announced this archive line and that IG-88 would be in the first group. Typical curse move on my part. Now I have 4 of them. But, I’ll keep the $90 figure in its original blue box mint on the shelf. It may or may not retain its value being the original box, but I don’t care. It looks great both opened and unopened.
Exactly. I was not looking forward to paying $60-90 for each bounty Hunter or whatever they were going for.
well said. new Luke's face looks like shit.
@@MarkyD1967 I bought Bossk in the past year. Didn't pay anything crazy but could've easily skipped him for the archive version. I'd be very reluctant to buy any older black series now though. I really want Bespin Luke but I feel like the ESB focus has now passed so he won't necessarily be on their radar now.
I agree. Luke and Boba Fett should always be available for new collectors, and the other two bounty hunters were nearly impossible to find for a lot of people.
If you buy toys just because of rarity or value than please go buy fancy cars or rich shoes people collect these figures because they love the characters and universe they come from and to deny someone that joy just because you want to feel special is sad.
ultrulord 2424 ....i loveeee taking everything out of the package!! Its wayyy more fun!!!
I've got so many of the rarer black series mint in box never to be taken out of their box or out of storage until I'm ready to sell them on eBay when the prices are highest.
Yes, let toy lovers be free!!
Nothing makes me happier than buying a "rare" and "valuable" figure and ripping off the packaging. My first ever black series figure was Commander Cody and I'm so sad to see his vaule has gone up because now with the inclusion of Rex, Wolf, and Gree, it would be nice to have all the clone commanders side by side
I learned a LONG time ago that no toy is ever safe from reissue BUT by the same token, why deny fancy cars or rich shoes to those who want them? If reissues are going to happen at all, they should be evenly distributed to ALL things. That way our society can truly be drive-through disposable/communist in its purest form.
I missed the original Black Series Boba Fett, and absolutely refuse to pay scalper prices. ABSOLUTELY REFUSE!!! I will not support a scalper doing their dirty work. So I was really glad to find the re-released Boba Fett. I picked one up after work at Walmart for a smooth $20. 😁
I bought 5 of these Boba Fett for Php 450.00 (about 9 USD). 😅
How? :( I feel so trapped.
@@japhetaguirre4880 bruh how
Your joy and enthusiasm makes me happy.
I too collect for...fun. Not for profit.
I get what I like.
Love your positive reviews.👍
Luke is a little disappointing. I was hoping for Hoth Leia level goodness. Does the new Luke head fit on the farm boy Luke body? I wanna do a head swap and use the x-wing figure body for a custom.
D D It does not, the peg hole on x wing luke is alot bigger than the peg hole on tatooine lukes head.
TheFaintofHearts2113 thanks for the heads up. Not ideal but still doable.
Brian b thanks. I’ll probably end up giving that a try. Hopefully the skin tones aren’t too off.
I was thinking the same, too. I'd be willing to be Farmboy Luke has to be on the radar for a re-release with a new head sculpt. He's got to be one of the worst offenders.
John Johnson he and a new hope leia for sure are the worst.
New Luke looks like Ellen Degeneres
You nailed it.
Lmao it does!
Not again ellen, made the same with some recent thor figure jeje,wellitis not that recent but yeah...
😂
i have the figure and in person its not that bad
Hope Hasbro comes out with an Archive "Bespin Luke", soon.
ESB 40th Anniversary line should count
@@Randomvideos-zi7pe Already got it.
I, being super young, am super happy with this packaging because it is the packaging of my childhood
Does this mean we can get a Black Series X-wing fighter now? PLEEEEEASSSSE??? And maybe retool the TIE fighter for OT???
This is also works for people like me. Originally started collecting with the first wave (had X-Wing Luke, R2D2, Sandtrooper, Greedo, Darth Maul and the Prototype Fett). Had to sell them shortly after, as I was in a bad place monetarily speaking. Been back collecting Black Series pretty hardcore since shortly after Rogue One, and these are perfect vs. trying to pay after-market prices for the originals on eBay.
I'm extremely they put these out. I didn't start on the line until last year this time. I was not going to pay the ridiculous prices on the secondary market. It seems they wouldn't have any reason not to have re-released them and cash in on the money from the secondary market. Thanks fro the review, as always.
Yeah it's not like they are Designer Hot toys. If they kept re-releasing those then collectors could gripe but everyone who wants these should be able to get them and at a fair price and not like £80-100 resale.
these figures have put a lot of “collectors” nose’s out of joint. But Hasbro never said they would never release these again. Seems to me Hasbro have just given someone like me a chance to finish my bounty hunters. They could of made loads of improvements, tempting those people who already have them (archangel) but no. This is purely for those who missed them the first time.
I’m glad Hasbro is re-releasing its greatest hits. It gives a chance to collectors like myself, whom got into the BS line not from the beginning, to obtain desirable figures that are way overpriced on the secondary market.
I’ve had to return too many figures due to production errors, one leg being shorter then other. Blister packaging seems to make that impossible.
However I’m incredibly happy that they’re rereleasing figures I missed.
how about two right feet or luke missing his helmet altogether? seems luke has a lot of different 'looks' now, too.
How does it being a blister stop you from returning them? They know you opened the box ones too. Unless you're not telling them about the defects.
The Fwoosh I guess thinking about it there’s not really a difference since a defective figure is useless either way.
Maybe it’s just me but I just feel rude returning something that I tore open, like blister packaging, than something put neatly away, like in the traditional packaging. Either way they shouldn’t restock it so maybe blister is better?
Great review, I’m glad they rereleased Boba Fett cause I was never able to find him before
Thanks for giving us a close up look at these archive figures, they'll probably never show up down here. All those self absorbed twats that are complaining about their collections being devalued by these archive figures can go forth and multiply!
Babbling Booby I really hope we get these archive lines
in physical stores here in Australia 😞
@@ryleyredman4167 Absolutely! I've heard a report of them showing up at a Toyworld store but I don't know for sure if that is legit.
I dont think the new luke looks better but thats just me
Chris Owen does yours have real noticeable pixelated eyes
Hope they make an X-Wing for their vehicle series
Pretty excited for the anakin re release with update face.
The people who complain about de-valuing the figures are the scalpers, or perhaps those who paid over retail value on the secondary market.
I am glad to see that these figures have been re-released for those who were not able to find figures on the original release.
Black Series needs to go to this blister card packaging for their regular new releases. Look so much better than the boxes we get now.
I disagree but can understand where you're coming from
Nope. I’ve had to return too many figures due to production errors. Blister packaging would make that impossible.
No way dude. I personally don’t care about nostalgia, so I think blister packaging just makes it harder for package collectors.
I agree with him it was so refreshing seeing these at target the black series needs an overhaul ASAP. ML at least changes the color and logos from time to time
Yep definitely. The boxes look garbage.
Found bossk boba and ig 88 at target last week. Passed on boba cus i have the esb mafex one. Just need luke now
WAT?? I would have snatched boba even tho I also have the mafex one
Hasbro keeps retooling the Clonetroopers and Imperial officer figures, which is cost effective for them, and makes fans happy. I'd like to see them do the same with Rebel pilots. Make one a bit taller, then mix and match parts with new headsculpts and paint apps. Like in the 4 inch line, Porkins would need his own dedicated sculpt, but if they made his life support system removable like Jaina, they could reuse it for Wilrow Hood. You can have that one for free, Hasbro.
I'd buy those.
TheTrognation lol I wish. Hasbro hates clones it seems. All we got are a phase 1 repaint and a phase 2 repaint. Maybe a few commanders. Stormtroopers on the other hand they make every single variation. So please don’t assume clones and storms are the same. Very different. I’m someone who wishes there was more clones because of the lack of them in the line
@@Fr0stbit3_ yes we need more
Yeah I wouldn't mind a Wedge figure.
Not sure why people are mad they rehashed boba. I have the original figure in card and its nice to get this rehash so I can open him and enjoy him. Its nice to get the luke figure as well.
Some think that this reduces the value of their originals. I guess it's true, I just don't have that mindset.
I don't like that Ellen Skywalker face or In-Gold-88k but i'm happy to be getting 3 figures i missed, AND i get to make terrible jokes about their names. Love the thorough and positive review!
Another awesome fantastic video of star wars figures collection 👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍keep collecting and may the force be with you 👽 👹👽
Ig88 is improved
@@lonewolfmcquade8879 yea but it cant stand just buy the one you like
Thanks for the review Mr Robo, great and informative as always. Seems like there isn't difference between the Boba, or the Bossk to the older ones. The Luke doesn't look as good as I thought it would and why have they washed IG with gold? Looks a bit stupid. On the upside , this packaging does look nice. Guess I'll have to see what they look like in person when they arrive over here in the UK......
I Want Boba Now, he's no good to me dead. Ooh SDCC version
If they can remake the faces..why TF cant they give boba an articulated antenna? Only who dont have one are the main ones who need it wich is sum bullshit, how u give sabine one and not boba OR jango?
As a SWOG, it's my judgement that no point there is having a 6" X-Wing Luke without a 3ft X-Wing to put him in.
love the black series proportions.. any figure looks cooler with a smaller head profile
Everyone trying to sell there's one ebay for like 100$ or more probably crapped them selves when these got released
Just realized that bobas gun is literally just a revolver that they added a scope handle and longer barrel to make it look like it's a big gun
So when are we getting a Snow Speeder or Xwing in this scale? And hopefully drop an AT-AT....at us!
100% If you’re in it for the money, you’re in it for the wrong reasons.
I’m super glad they rereleased these, I have usually been an import only collector but thanks to years of watching your videos (and yes you are the best) I started buying a few black series here and there
Finally I can get a good X-Wing Luke without paying stupid money to get hold of a 40th anniversary Luke, a dull/matt clear coat will fix the glossy look of his head, great review and a happy New Year Robo... bring on the 2019 plastic.
@@sirmustardofhousemayonnais9907 yeah I know about the original orange line x-wing Luke, lol nothing wrong with my brain I just never had the chance to get one, yes the 40th Luke will hold it's value with it being a celebration exclusive.
The less than 90 degrees on Boba's elbows is a deal breaker for me, especially since I have the Mafex ESB figure. But Bossk knocks it outta the park.
Ah man it's such a shame they didn't fix his Jaw! Still a great looking figure!
Awesome reveiw!!! So glad they remade these for those that missed out earlier!!! The Luke and IG88..I will pick up for the new face printing and 88's new "real metal" look. Thanks for sharing!!!
Personally I think all of the reissues should be slightly more different than the originals so that both the OG collectors still have their "genuine OG figures" but also just to improve the new ones. I think the way Luke and IG-88 were handled was perfect. No face paint app for Luke, new paint ofr all of IG-88. Collectors can see this instantly if they know the details.
The other two, though... maybe needed a bit more difference. Maybe an entirely new jaw for Boosk. Maybe have both hands capable of holding the blaster? Then Boba Fett, could have had a changed up dents and scratches on the suit, or instead of just dark dirt, some sand color to imply he's the ROTJ on "tatooine version", instead of the "Bespin version"? I dunno... just something. Then maybe even collectors who already owned the originals might have more incentive to get a second one if they really love the character.
I totally get where you're coming from, and can agree to it.
That's an impressive wave!
Bossk looks really cool
I want the whole set even though the Black Series Boba is unlikely to replace my MAFEX. I missed all of them the first time around. That IG-88 though. I just want an import store to finally make a more screen-accurate figure. A model kit or something? Please?
IG-88 really just looks so...off. The overall size is a major difference and something about the figure's head just looks so wrong to me. Maybe I'm just not observant enough, but the figure's head looks way smaller than movie IG-88. And did those holes always go all the way through to the other side of IG-88's head? Maybe it's just me, but there is so much proportionally just off with this figure
Yeah I just like some extra shit I guess....lol
I totally missed out, on these 4 figures. It's so awesome, that has bro has released the archive collection. I I ordered my wave one set last week. Can't wait for them to arrive.
hello. nice review. question. What are you using for lighting and the backdrop? Looks fantastic.
Lighting is just some lamps with LED bulbs, daylight, and then the background is a bent piece of larger poster board sold at Hobby Lobby. I actually need to get a new one, this one is getting beat up from tossing figures, heh.
I just realized, why haven’t we got an IG-88 model kit from Bandai yet? Especially since they love doing droids so much
That's my thought exactly. They should have both IG-88 and 4-LOM out by now. And a Death Star Droid.
I’m sexy!
My Black Series are hard to pose. My Snoke, Tattoine Luke, and Director Krennic have trouble standing.
Weird, I have all of my Black Series free standing on open shelves, have never had a problem. A lot of them have tight detents that need to be worked so you can get a better flat foot position.
Do I already have these figures. Yes. Will I buy them again. Probably. Damn you Hasbro.
Heh, right there with you!
I don't collect 6 inch figures but.... maybe I'll get the IG-88, looks pretty cool. Btw there where 4 IG-88 droids: IG-88A, IG-88B, IG-88C and IG-88D, the one on the star destroyer was B and he's also the one that was dead on that Bespin place where Chewie finds 3P0 torn to pieces ...on legends tho XD
Damn, who killed him?
Hey I’m new to black series collecting and I was wondering the purpose of the hexagonal hole on the back of some action figures like the mimban trooper who doesn’t come with any gear to put back there
The torso is a reuse of the earlier Sandtrooper torso that had a backpack included.
I like being able to get Iggy & Bossk at retail price, but I wish they would’ve taken the opportunity to improve the sculpts/scale of some of the figs. Did they switch to a better plastic at least? I know the older figs feel like they were made of a more stiff plastic; like getting the double knees on my Boba felt like it was stiff/brittle/ might break 🤷♂️
The line is about rereleasing the figures with the original sculpts. The whole idea is to get those same figures back in the hands of new collectors who are getting started. The changes will be minor as far as sculpt and articulation goes. The real changes will occur in face print tech and plastic quality/ QC
I had no fear when manandling these, and IG-88 does feel more sturdy than the original. More stable standing.
@@DanielMartinez-gb9sq That's a fair point; While I'd be happier with an update, I'm glad people are able to get the original figs below the $100+ secondary market prices
6:20 It’s like a Boba Fett beauty Pageant
Just got my archive luke and the hair on mine is definitely more of a matte. also the white shoulder straps have a solid paint job on mine. think you got a bad one
Always my luck.
If you heat the adhesive on the packaging you can open them without damaging the packaging.
Yeah, I figured there was some way, but I'm not saving it anyway. This is much more satisfying.
So we’re not gonna point put that the Mafex Boba Fett looks more like Boba Fett than the Black Series version
Except, if I don't say it here I say it everywhere else, the MAFEX is the best Fett out there.
Yeah they gotta switch to this packaging, it's sweet
*15:03* He is too small, IG-88, but his head is the wrong shape and far too skinny.
Yeah, it's proportions are wonky. The body needs to be scaled up and then the head needs a resculpt and scaled up even more.
Yep , new Bossk , same as the old .
Meet the new Bossk, same as the old Bossk.
Great review, this new archive serie is good to give to BS series another face, but... change the nice black box for a blister?, simple, poor and nothing original, the figure colors have some changes, one goods others dont, the back details showing the first packaging black box is great. Hasbro will De-valuing the BS? dont think so, maybe this is an experiment to test the market, why? let se the final price of this archive serie and we see....
This makes me want to go back and watch the old movies again :)
Another fantastic review I hope my review is half as good when I get them ! I knell before the Master ! I have been wanting these figures for so long an this stuff is hard to get in the uk we can't just walk in to a wallmart an buy them it specialist stores who charge to much !
Will get all 4. I regret not buying Bossk when I first saw it in stores. I passed on Luke. Never saw IG-88 and definitely never saw Boba Fett in stores.
The First Releases where pretty hard to get over here in Germany . Plus they have been sold for monstrous prices (from 40€ to 75€) .So Iam pretty happy that they are back on the shelf now for 26.99€ at local toy stores .....
It's good that these have been re-released to make it easier for fans to get. Whether you want these for collection, display, nostalgia, photography purposes or just because you like the chracters, it's good that they are now easier and cheaper to obtain. The only people bitching about it are those selling the originals for rediculous prices and the ones who paid rediculous prices for them in the first place and are now dissapointed because they wasted money and don't feel as elite any more.
Thanks to the archive line, customers can now get about three to four bounty hunters for the same price as what some people used to sell one for.
Scalpers: FUCK YOU LOLOLOLOL U AINT GETTIN IT UNLESS U PAY $2000.
I held off on boba fett cause i new he was comming...pause! So im god i don't own him, im hopeing for a new updated better slave Lea. And if you make a flap at the bottom of the bubble or top you can slide it out and in...pause on that, I did that with the marvel legends vintage cards.
I think I'll hold judgment until I see Luke's face blasted with some dull coat to knock down the shine...hopefully that will make the difference.
That said I odered this wave as soon as I saw it up for preorder since I got into the line with the 40th figs and have been wanting an x-wing Luke for awhile and with the rest it will complete my bounty hunters. Even though I already have (and love!!) the Mafex Fette, can't have too many Bobas!
With the "sticky" rubber elbow parts, does anyone have any solutions to fixing this as i have the exact same thing happening with a couple of my FX Lightsabers with the rubber grips on those becoming sticky and everything i've tried thus far hasn't worked. Thanks.
I’ve been a huge Star Wars fan my whole life but just started collecting the black series over the summer. For me these are all must have characters so I’m more than excited for this set
RETURN OF HOLIDAY SPECIAL LUKE! He should be a regular on this channel, LOL. Love the Boba Fett. I missed out last time, so glad they're releasing another one. To hell with the packaging.
I want them to rerelease a new better version of the return of the Jedi Luke figure
Yeah, that body i good, it would be cool to see what they could do with that head.
I'm so thankful for the re-release. My pre-order case from Dorkside Toys came in yesterday, so thanks for the heads up on that Fwoosher. As for the figures, I had the originals, but they were lost to The Great Collection Purge of 2015. Then 2 years ago I started Collecting again, I said at first that it would be a focused Collection of MP Transformers only. That quickly lead to MP and Black Series only... Then MP, BS, and Legends only, and I'm sticking with that! So for me, I am incredibly thankful for the re-releases!
I just picked up X-wing Luke. Last one on the pegs at Target. my face looks great. Definitely better than any of the Luke's we've gotten in the past. Hopefully I can get the last of the bounty hunters and I think I'm good till the next wave. Oh remember you preorder your general Grevious, I went through BBTS. I'll catch YOU on the fwoosh!! 🤣🤣🤣
I found these today at Target. The Luke I saw looked great in hand. The face was much less shiny than yours. I only grabbed Boba Fett but I may go back for Luke in the future.
Now with the new re-release of xwing luke give us a xwing or a snowspeeder hasbro pleeeeeease! Its sooo amazing hasbro is doing the archive my nephew wants a luke and bosk so bad but the prices were out of this world but thanks hasbro for making it possible for him and other collectors or kids who missed out.Great review mang!
I prefer my original Luke face.
I think my problem with these releases is we could have made them better. I would have loved another Boba for sure but why couldn’t Hasbro make the Archive Boba with a ROTJ Jetpack.
I think they are holding back for the ROTJ anniversary for that. They gotta be...
Because they’re lazy and want your money with minimal effort as possible
I'm glad I can finally get an affordable Boba Fett, even if it's not too great.
Yeah, it feels like something about this Boba is somewhat off
I didn't collect Black Series until the Force Awakens, and by a stoke of luck at the time found a Orange line Han Solo, so I complete thankful for this rerelease. It's the first time in a while I bought an entire wave of Black Series all at the same time in a while. So I hope they will continue this!
Wave 2 comes in the fall, with Anakin, Scout Trooper, Yoda, and rumored to have Darth Maul.
@@TheFwoosh Whoo-hoo!
Great work brilliant all round sir. Best reviews on you tube 👌🙌
Thank you, I appreciate that!
I didn’t know bobas gun was a revolver a scope and a guard....... I thought it was an actual blaster not an attempt to make it a sniper revolver
Robo dude..you made people watched you rip destroy the package..that is very Grand Moff of you..pure evil glee😆
I dont normally buy figures to keep carded, but that's exactly what I picked them up for...gonna look nice on the wall :)
I ordered these and Grevious from BBTS in past day. Got my order in for Zuckuss from Disney as well. Sadly Mimban was sold out on BBTS.
Won't be getting these, there just aren't enough differences to warrant spending the money on these that I could spend on a few of the gazillion other figures I still need, that original x wing Luke is still one of my favourites in the line. might get a couple from the next lot though that ive seen.
I think the biggest difference for boba is the right chest stamp
I've seen that thing back and forth and all over, like each individual part of it is a different tampo.
Another banger video, I only started collecting a year ago so I never got a chance to pick up the original boba fett and never wanted to buy it for secondary market price so I definitely buy this figure once it hits my local toy shop
This was an awesome review dude...I love these even though lukes face is a bit funny..but the only Luke is want is the one from Jedi..for now tho I need that boba Fett 😁👊🏽 .. keep up the great work
Maybe now they can re-release Palpatine so newcomers to the line can have the Emperor without paying massive amounts on eBay for his wrinkled ass.
With a throne!
@@TheFwoosh YES! If Snoke gets one, so should Palpatine!
I missed all four of these original releases. And as of now I have all 77 of the red box releases. So for me this re-release is a godsend. I now have the complete bounty hunter set. And when the rest of the archive series is released I’ll need those as well. I was late to the black series 6” line and only have half of the orange/blue box releases. Great review as always!
I missed out on the original Black Series figures, so I think I’ll get Boba and Bossk. I would buy all, but I gotta save money for Grievous and Obi-Wan
I've heard and seen that some of the boba fetts are missing the jet packs mine was missing. Got it from GameStop too.
Scalpers are pissed 😆
I prefer the old Luke
Great review. I missed out on this entire bunch, and I'm going to have to pick some of these up this time.
Does anyone know where I can get Dengar in stores without having to rely on eBay? No luck finding him in Target.
