Hot Toys Super Battle Droid Unboxing & Review

[@JedhaPatrol]

How many Super Battle Droids did you get?

[@JediDropBear]

I've got 3 on order to go with my 6 B1 battle droids

[@daniel_sc1024]

I have only one on order. I will wait 'til I have it in hand before deciding on whether I want a second one (provided they aren't sold out). If not on a second super battle droid, there are plenty of other figures I can spend my money on. 😁

[@---ne9ez]

6

[@char3720]

I ordered 3 for my Geonosis battle scene. (It’ll be years before I can put it together). Overpriced for what they are though. My feeling is that they’re not making more of these any time soon.

[@jamesshultz8769]

For the price, it should have more accessories or effect parts or better build quality. This should be a two pack considering how little you get.

[@petera.michaelsen4657]

Should've been a 2-pack

[@rclutsam2112]

It looks great. My thought is that HT should sell the Battle Droids with two in each package and the cost should be less than $200.

[@maverick8331]

2 minutes in "it may have been a mistake only getting one." I laughed so hard

[@daniel_sc1024]

I'm thinking someone at Hot Toys, when making the original sand base, accidentally entered a quantity of 5,000,000 instead of 5,000; therefore, we will be getting the sand base with every other figure for eternity.

[@jedibear4307]

LOL 😂

[@michaelmann4187]

This should be a $129 figure- it looks so cheap- the base is inexcusable . Maybe a two pack with a battle droid would be reasonable at this price. Hard pass .

[@DarthTamarus]

Yeah this thing is way overpriced.

[@icec1628]

The droids are all over priced my opinion $150 max

[@theoutlawking9123]

It's not even worth 80 bucks, because for 80 dollars, You can get the G.I. Joe Classified Fire Team 788 bundle, which comes with THREE FIGURES and a shit ton of accessories! This should be 20 bucks, period.

[@theoutlawking9123]

@@Adrianelpaso76 What, you would seriously spend more than that.....ON THIS? You need a reality check kid.

[@TR-cy5fg]

​@theoutlawking9123 lol 20 bucks...what a ridiculous statement. You can't get a lot of black series figures for that price. That said, the original poster was correct in saying that you should get 2 for this price...lol 20 bucks...just wow.

[@ChrisGozonVLOGS]

Can it do the iconic resting arm in front, laser barrels pointing up?

[@lucidicmelody]

I actually really like the implementation of AAA batteries because wall outlet adapters are much more accessible for AAA batteries compared to button cell batteries

[@xjoemallardx]

Any word on when the Kenobi Vader is shipping out?

[@collectingnerdzone]

It does look good but i wish the joints and parts of the legs were diecast

[@TK421Collectibles]

Great review and unboxing 👊🏻 I got similar vibes of *slight* disappointment mainly with how light and therefore plasticy it was but like you say it’s still great to have one in the collection. Btw the arms do pull out at the shoulders slightly 👍🏻

[@randyf25]

Those complaining about accessories, what else would you want? It’s based on EP2. A blaster effect? What else? Get real. As for the weight etc, sure…I can sort of understand but it’s a droid. It’s a slim droid. It’s accurate to design. Overpriced? Maybe. I think $200 is more fair.

[@LisaHarsh]

I ordered 1 of these. There are a lot of things from the Clone movies that were very much inspired by Fifth Element. The scene of Kenobi and Anakin chasing through the city was almost shot by shot of the chase in Fifth Element.

[@JedhaPatrol]

Solid observation

[@tommesbude4187]

You are talking about the instructions, but you have to read it too, because there are more functions and movement in the arms and shoulders than you showed in your review.

[@Jaredesq]

I love these AOTC anniversary boxes.

[@mattgruetzmacher23]

Only way I’d consider picking one up is if they went on sale. The price they go for right now isn’t worth it

[@davidz2016]

I was lucky enough to get the sideshow battle droids two pack brown and tan for less then this figure with a Cody and they where never opened. Good will had no clue what they had. It's not as tall as I was expecting.

[@williamowens6049]

It's not a bad looking figure, but the lack of any diecast parts is disappointing. I'll add one to the collection to represent the battle on Geonosis. I also thought it would be a little taller.

[@altonchristie6883]

Agreed..it does look cheap...I passed on this one and after seeing ur unboxing good looking figure...but not for the price!! Thanks Jedha...great stuff!

[@its_seth__wildin9514]

Please confirm for me, can it hold a trooper by the neck/body and hold the weight? I need to know before buying! Lol

[@jamesshultz8769]

Reminds me of the Robocop 2 test subject that offs itself.

[@boshrek4759]

This is one of those figures that should be priced at $100 but because it's a HT it automatically defaults to $300. I would love to have in my collection but would never spend the $315 CAN asking price.

[@danielq_4]

Bo Shrek! I’ve seen you on other forums.

[@gigerdevoter5577]

It looks great and all, but I really can't get passed that they painted the "nose" a different color then the rest of the figure. It's not accurate.

[@VictoriasCantina]

The Mandalorian SBD that Hot Toys/Sideshow had on display at Celebration a couple years ago was quite a bit bigger as I remember it, and it looked very gunmetal and impressive. This one looks really cool too but not nearly as impressive as I remember it.

[@CincyNerd]

Is it me, or does he look undersized? In my head I thought these guys were much bigger. He looks smallish next to Dooku and Jango.

[@sagetaylor3546]

For what this is and what you get, this should of been a two pack at that price point. Just saying... Also, they could of just painted the light red and cut down on the price.

[@krazysaber8737]

Always gotta luv ur reviews bruv

[@slayerfox81]

Looks abit cheap if really light . Could of done with some guns or something with it

[@Gardi93]

I’m sticking to main characters but looks cool

[@Geekyguy92]

Pass on this

[@jamesl7988]

Hey, man. Just wanted to say you are a fun dude to listen to. That’s it. That’s the comment lol Have a great one!

[@steve-o-reno]

I don't know...for the price and limitations of this figure, it should have been diecast. I would also like to see better packaging/presentation as far as these plastic shells go. For as much as they cost, I want to feel like I'm opening something special every time. Not just when it's a DX or diecast figure 🤷‍♂️

[@AlecCarmine]

Rex is supposed to be green. He’s super dirty

[@gavinbeard4026]

Well I hate those that paid full price but I’m so excited to get this in a year time when it’s 150 and I can get two for the price of one 😂

[@rem6670]

How many of those bases did they make????? Its become insulting This should have been a build-a-battle droid. Youd get a piece with other figures, especially since accessories are non-existent anymore.

[@nededdardroble533]

You need two...

[@equos5060]

This is ridiculous for it's price. No diecast (at least in the legs), stupid-ass sand base, basically no accessories. This is a joke.

[@Nelsonr1978]

Canceled my order 🤣🤣🤣…. $200 less I have to pay.

[@KEVRolla]

👍👍👍

[@geovm92]

Is Pop Collectibles trustworthy? I am asking cause I've heard terrible things about Toys Wonderland and since both companies are in Hong-Kong. I just want to check with somebody who has ordered already from them. Thank you!

[@jameshurcombe2049]

I'm not a fan of the bronze head as in clone wars it's grey/ silver.

[@danielq_4]

Well, this is AOTC based

[@Thetoyrealm]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kendallwg3615]

Some folks in the comments section desperately need a hug.

[@adamdoom89]

@JedhaPatrol When a figure feels very light and plastic like, I always get disappointed especially for the price these things are. It just doesn't feel very good in the hands. IMO Droids should all be Diecast or better yet a mix like Robocop to get that premium feeling. It isn't asking alot when every damn Iron Man is Diecast nowadays.

[@arthurlegatt7661]

I do think that for 150 euros i would buy this one. But just like the B1 battle droid, these are just side side side character, nothing really exiting about these, and i mean they do not look cool like clone armour or hoth rebels that are also in a way very side character too. Making them non diecast and pricing them as normal figure is just bullshit from hot toys. Non diecast for 150 why not, full die cast for 300 might be cool too, but you cannot really do both.

[@kerinkellynerdcorner]

This is a hard pass for me! If it were DIE-CAST YES, but for light plastic-Bruh....

[@JJsNeedfulThings]

So like $270+ after tax and shipping for an all plastic droid that Mattel could sell for $50. Paint job is nice, but with a crappy display, horrible battery setup, and plastic build this is a solid pass. I hope people that get this are genuinely happy with it, but this is a classic lazy figure by HT.

[@MonoMauro1975]

Come on 250 and not diecast not interested.

[@chriswilliams3110]

Terrible

[@jorgelizaso978]

I prefer the AAA bateries than the pill ones ... for sure they last waaay longer. The mando scene was beyond cringy ... if they were supposed to run like that, why the hell didn't they do that before instead of marching? Mando season 3 was a disgrace. Regarding the figure, I think that based on built quality, difficulty of the figure and accesories, they should be cheaper.

[@kachalujan1126]

Im sorry but this one is imo trash.

[@teampunisherairsoftuk3748]

End of the day your are Pop Collectables, you've sold out and are a employee of Pop Collectables, just rebrand and unlike the now failed Justin's Collection call yourself a paid advert for Pop Collectables. Sad no independent reviews.
