Hot Toys DROIDEKA MMS755 Announcement Reaction! Master, destroyers!!

[@MindFiend]

I was thrilled by this announcement. These are amongst my favourite droids in all of Star Wars. When they first appeared in the movies they seemed brilliantly made to counter jedi, but they never really lived up to their promise. Despite that, I love the design. You say "it looks absolutely amazing" and I have to agree with you.

[@TK421Collectibles]

I remember seeing them in one of the very early trailers and just thought they looked absolutely incredible! How they rolled and folded out, such a great design!! But yeah ultimately ineffective for something that looks so awesome! Thanks for watching mate! 🙌🏻

[@tinyartguy]

Love your enthusiasm as always mate! I would love if they put a bit of diecast on it to give it some weight on lower half

[@TK421Collectibles]

Thank you my friend!! I'm pretty hyped for this one! Agreed, would be great if they get a bit of diecast in there just to make it a bit more substantial! Thanks for watching mate 🙌🏻

[@trueCinemaniac]

Definitely ordering one, probably 2 droidekas! I hope the spine bends, the photos all show the back flat as a board but it should be more of a S curve. But it's a beauty. Hope Grievous gets announced next!

[@TK421Collectibles]

Good point about the spine. Looking closely at the transformed mode it does look like it bends, but only very slightly. Hopefully it is fully articulated so you can get the curve out of it! Yeah Grievous will be an amazing announcement! Cheers for watching 👊🏻

[@ju87d-3stuka7]

I believe they will reveal Grievous next year for the 20th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith.

@@ju87d-3stuka7 Excellent prediction, I think and hope you're right!

[@Bamboozlenoodle]

They removed the comparison pic with the beige/tan TPM B1 battle droid (and the B2) from the slideshow. Need to buy two of these to display them in both modes. Also wonder if the 'nipples' will slide out (they are the shield projectors) as seen in the movie.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Hm wonder why SS removed the comparison pic. I know Sideshow don't like showing figures from different films mixed in so maybe they didn't want to show the AOTC B2 associated with TPM. Agreed, would really like 2!! Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@Bamboozlenoodle]

@@TK421Collectibles I doubt it's that. B2s can be seen next to droidekas and tan battle droids on Grievous his ship during the battle over Coruscant. I had expected a droideka but for ROTS twenty anniverary. I don't see the problem comparing them in a picture... I think they did not want to reveal the tan B1 yet. Or it's a marketing trick to create buzz... who knows.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Honestly legit heard from someone who works at Sideshow that they have a policy of not mixing figures from different movies. And these releases are branded to very specific movies. Although this was more related to their video content, it may still apply to imagery. on their site (even official HT promo material). But yeah no matter, the tan B1 has been on the SS Coming Soon page for at least 5 or 6 years, we're 100% definitely getting an announcement soon 😃

[@kumarannamalai680]

Need 2! Thats all....hahaha. Awesome announcement for me. Cheers mate

[@TK421Collectibles]

Haha yeah really should get 2! absolutely can’t wait to see your shots of this one (two!) when it’s released 👌🏻 Thanks for watching mate!

[@malekith8447]

Pre ordered the Super Battle droid yesterday. Perfect timing. And we will get a tan B1 too😍

[@TK421Collectibles]

Congrats on the pre-order! I do like the Super Battle Droid, just be ready for it to feel a bit lightweight. Looks great on the shelf tho 💯 Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@toddscollectibles980]

As soon as I saw this in the morning I thought of you bud. A must for you no question. I quite like it and even could be tempted myself 😊. Hot toys have done well on this one. ❤

[@TK421Collectibles]

Haha cheers mate!! Yeah it’s fantastic waking up to these new announcements! Made me day pal!! 😃 Thanks for watching 🙌🏻

[@steve1315]

Sure you could do a good dio with this Todd.

Nice. What a surprise this morning. Preordered.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yeah great seeing this announcement first thing!! Congrats on preordering!! 🙌🏻

[@maverickcollector8129]

This looks great ,funny enough I was looking at the lego set for this that has just come out

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yeah that looks cool! I so very nearly went down the Lego rabbit hole before Hot Toys completely took over my collecting life! 😅 Thanks for checking out the vid mate 🙌🏻

[@DarthViscera]

TK would you get a Shmi Skywalker? I would like to see her, she's literally the mother of the franchise's main character.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Such a pivotal character in the whole franchise! I agree! I would 100% get a Shmi Skywalker Hot Toy!! 🙌🏻

[@daniel_sc1024]

What a way to start the weekend! Probably getting two, also. I'm not bothered that it's all plastic.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Ngl I love waking up to new announcements!! 😃 Same here I’m definitely not overly fussed about it being plastic. The extra weight would be nice but when it’s on the shelf it’s difficult to tell, especially considering the amazing painting skills of the artists! Thanks for watching mate 👊🏻

[@andrewmeloy9604]

Amazing piece, a must have for your collection, release date?. Thanks for sharing your thoughts as always, have a great weekend, and as always mind how you go 👍

[@TK421Collectibles]

Definitely a must-have! Release date looking like April 2025 at the earliest. Thanks for watching mate have a great weekend too 👊🏻

[@WarrenL-yu1hh]

DROID-frikkin-EKA!! Amazing news! Gonna be great to have a little droid squad - I did say I wasn’t gonna get the Super Battle Droid but weakened a while and bought one!

[@TK421Collectibles]

Haha yeah those droids are difficult to resist!! Going to be amazing to get together a mini Separatist Droid Army!! 🙌🏻 Thanks for checking out the vid 👊🏻

[@WarrenL-yu1hh]

@@TK421Collectibles Yep cos there’ll be a Naboo B1 announcement at some point!

[@biggreeve5511]

Looks great, and it seems we’re gonna get the b1 because they have it in this photo, can’t wait to pair it with qui gon and Obi wan (manifesting)

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yes! Manifest! Visualise!! 😅 B1, Padawan Kenobi, rooted Qui-Gon 🙏 Thanks for watching 🙌🏻

[@biggreeve5511]

@@TK421Collectibles rooted qui Gon would seem to be one of those small numbered runs, still would love to big one up im 2/2 on those anyways with Mando Obi wan and Rooted Anakin

[@mrrobbiejenks]

Exciting times!!! Come on TPM Obi Wan! This looks so cool. Hope they change their mind and give us some diecast parts. Great reaction video Chris! Thanks! 👊🏼😎

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yeah really want a Padawan Kenobi!! 🥹🙏🏻 Thanks for watching mate, and have a great weekend 👊🏻

[@mrrobbiejenks]

@@TK421Collectibles You too Chris!

[@hellothere9565]

I need 2 or 3 but it is pricier than the B1 and B2 droids... Hoping there will be a 2-pack for this droid.

[@TK421Collectibles]

No 2-pack for this unfortunately, so wallet is going to take a beating if we want multiples! Cheers for watching 🙌🏻

[@jaccobreedveld7149]

I was hoping this would be released .. have been yelling for this ever since they announced the battle droid and super battle droid. Hopefully the the legs are diecast .. I remember those 3,75” Hasbro Droideka eventually bent on the legs

[@TK421Collectibles]

Same here, really wanted this one and it definitely looks the part! Couple of concerns around the durability and how spindly it will be tho!

[@DioBrando-jm7uf]

I still hope for tan and red B1 Security Droids, but the ochre B1s from AOTC are my favourite CIS unit.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Would like a few different variants of the B1. Like the command battle droid with the yellow markings etc

[@DioBrando-jm7uf]

@@TK421Collectibles Yeah, definitely need an OOM-Series Command Battle Droid.

[@PToastman]

Man...I for a second I thought this was an unboxing lol. This figure was just announced & if it was an unboxing I was going to ask are you time traveling or what?? 🤣

[@TK421Collectibles]

Haha!! Sometimes I can get them in quick but yeah not that quick unfortunately! 😁 Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@pmurray726]

Does this mean a padawan Kenobi is on the way?

[@TK421Collectibles]

Hopefully! And a rooted Qui-Gon 🙌🏻 Cheers for watching mate 👊🏻

[@steve1315]

Very nice 😎million %can't argue with that lad. Avatar ( Dances with wolves in space) didn't do anything for me.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yes definitely have to have at least one of these! Didn’t mind avatar. Worth a watch but didn’t grab me like a galaxy far far away!

[@DioBrando-jm7uf]

A Geonosis display would not be complete without Droidekas!

[@TK421Collectibles]

Gonna look immense!!

[@TALON80s]

I love this so much but I'm worried it's going to feel like cheep plastic crap. I really like the other battle droids but in person they were just so cheap feeling despite looking very detailed and cool. Loving the news videos dude 👍🏻

[@TK421Collectibles]

They do feel cheap but fortunately they look great in the collection! So I’ve still got high hopes for this one even if it might feel abit lightweight. I mean they’ve got to make it robust so it’s not prone to snapping. Thanks for watching mate, I appreciate the support 🙌🏻

[@johnkaspar4931]

My favorite mechanical battle roach is becoming a reality. I hope it’s diecast but I know it’s not - I think they’d have touted it as such. I ended up passing on the SBD because the reports were that it was so light. I know there’s debate over to diecast/no diecast, but I’m an old corgi/dinky toys diehard, so if it’s got metal, I’m a fan. As cool as this looks, I will likely pass. More for you guys. Cheers!

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yeah it’s not unfortunately!! Plastic with “skillfully applied metallic paint applications” is what we’re getting. Just hope all the moving parts are super-durable! Cheers for watching 🙌🏻

[@DioBrando-jm7uf]

How do you find out so quick?

[@TK421Collectibles]

Just via Hot Toys social media 👍🏻
