Hello there! I own this figure, but I need to ask: Why are the legs so loosen to the sides, unlike the arms that are stiff? The legs move and open with only a slight touch by me without noticing it. Is this okay, like this?

Some one needs to take an arm from one of the Holocomm figs and shave the ball joint off and carve out a small circle foe like magnets in the arm and the side of the figure to make it look like a force arm.
@MikeKaess4 күн бұрын
@@alanbalcom9654 it’s a good idea. But the big issue there is that (besides being a lot of work), the sculpt won’t match. Unlike the new two pack version where the arm sculpt matches. But that would be a cool idea if they did that with the new version so there was an option with just one figure.

Mike, I just wanted to say that I absolutely appreciate the constant positivity you bring to this hobby. When I see people constantly shitting on Luke’s face, Vernestra, Basil, and The Acolyte in general, it just gets tiring after a while. Always nice to hear you talk toys and be one of the most prominent positive voices in this community. You are also absolutely right, your long form videos are also perfect background content for when I’m playing MLB The Show lol.

@@MikeKaess For sure, the Dagan thing especially kinda makes me pause because this is exactly what Hasbro should’ve done, reveal the alternative look BEFORE the figure is widely available. They’re not pulling a Mercenary Baylan here. Personally, I’ll be picking up both so I can put one on my light side shelf and one on my dark side one.

I second this. Mike, your videos are among the ones I look forward to the most and are always a joy. It's so easy to fall into negativity hell hole, especially with social media platforms going out of their way to suggest it. I had turned in my Star Wars fan card since all the fan behavior during the Prequel era, and simply catching Mike's offhand positive comments about The Last Jedi was like a subtle lightbulb that says "oh, I don't have to hate this." It's one of the main reasons I'm engaging with SW again, and I feel like I missed out on years of enjoying my favorite laser knights, oogie boogies, and their cool spaceships.

As someone who owns the TVC variant of Leia, the problems are the same minus the double-jointed pinned knees. The key difference is that the "removed" hood on TVC has a peg to plug on the back while the "put on" hood can cover the peghole. Same accessories, thankfully. The photoshopped pins is a black mark against this figure's marketing and whoever at Hasbro did that must correct their mistake. I would get that Leia if I was still personally invested in TBS and it was the one I was the most concerned about.

Thanks Mike for a pretty exhaustive review! Great effort man. I agree that of all of these, the ANH Luke is the best and an amazing figure in its own right. Of the ones in this scale, it is right up there with the S H. Figuarts version - I even think the face sculpt holds up favourably. This is a 5/5 for me. I also love the Leia figure because realistically, if you go with the moulded plastic route, it’s pretty hard to get the same degree of action pose flexibility as you would with cloth goods. And the difference between the new and old version is like night and day. For that reason alone I would score it very high. I do think it deserves more than your relatively Ho-hum 3.5/5 score, but hey, that’s me. While the rest of the wave looks interesting in a variety of ways, they are not good enough to tempt me - I will very probably pass on all of them. Thanks again! Nice that you got them so early! Think you were ahead of everyone this time, even Landspeeder Luke, hehe.

So funny story about The Acolyte, I just met Manny Jacinto last weekend at Motor City Con. In talking about how cool the show was and how it didn't deserve it's early cancelation, he told me that the cancelation was made before the first episode even came out due to online response. It never got the chance to be judged by it's own merit. Gotta love the SWTheory effect 😡

you may be right that it was pre-judged pretty harshly...it doesn't change the fact that the show was terrible. The fact is, this initial controversy actually boosted the viewership for the first 2 episodes as "hate watching" - Had it turned out good, majority of people would have revaluated their initial expectations. but since it was messy and completely flawed, it it just met their expectations of being a shit show; which it was. The only possible merit this show has is that lightsaber fight: but I only merit that to the choreographer. The writing for this show was atrocious and politically motivated: which is equivalent to writing your own deathwish.
