Hot Toys Lord Starkiller Unboxing & Review

[@Sole-Knightmare]

It's a hair braid. As for lightsabers (in order), Rahm Kota, Maul, Vader (ROTS), Starkiller's original Lightsaber, and Kazdan Paratus saber staff tip.

[@JustinsCollection]

Awesome! Thank you for that!

[@SEEshadow]

This is the way.

[@dogbackwards-ut2jy]

It’s not maul it’s from the second Jedi he kills in the game

[@cebastianjones5416]

(Proxy) maul so he is correct

[@captainjamsparkles989]

Ohhh i always thought it was a wookie hair braid

[@rikyannieh6119]

A Starkiller without a Sam Witwer head sculpt is just unforgivable

[@JustinsCollection]

I almost agree

[@brekan1208]

I’m gonna 3d print one when I get this guy because it just needs to happen

[@al112v4]

I guess this is why they used the Hoth DLC version so they didn't need to pay the license? Not sure.

[@Hogan231]

ALL HAIL LORD STARKILLER!

[@JustinsCollection]

Yes!

[@jamesdonahoe7540]

Dude, you’re totally in the right about those swooshing blades.

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you!

[@jackdettmer179]

with so many Sith Lords being covered by robes and capes, i find it refreshing to have SO much interesting stuff happening on the back. such a cool design! those early 2000's Star Wars artists were cooking with their character designs.

[@ethanpease5936]

Him and Revan are probably like the coolest Star Wars Video Game characters.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yes! There's something to look at all over him!

[@TheHoneyBadger_]

Justin keep talking about the crappy lightsabers hot toys is manufacturing and maybe they’ll finally give us what we want!! Your points are valid!

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you!

[@davefox7516]

You always explain things so well, and have a smooth calming voice. You are terrific.

[@JustinsCollection]

I try my best!

[@Thatguy-v4z]

The Disney Sequels villian we should've gotten.

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed!

[@satch4684]

theres just no way they would NOT have done all original characters

[@thispromisestobefun7395]

I absolutely loved playing the first game beating Darth Vader and Palpatine was 10 year old me proudest moment!

[@JustinsCollection]

Haha sick

[@Sole-Knightmare]

Ps. If you have a lonesome Snow Speeder Luke, you can pose Lord Starkiller with that since he's the boss fight of the DLC this look comes from.

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh yes! Great idea!

[@JasonsLaughter093]

I’ve always thought the braid was supposed to be Juno’s hair as some form of reminder on Palpatine’s part, since he’s such a monster. Can’t wait to get the figure in hand! It looks great! Thanks for the review, Justin!

[@JustinsCollection]

Ah could be!

[@alijahlarez3396]

I’ve been wanting to get Darth Revan and Lord Starkiller, but I was waiting for Justin’s review just to be sure they were both good.

[@JustinsCollection]

Awesome! They are both dope!

[@SongofIceandTea]

Great figure, Star Wars Force Unleashed story was way better than Disney Star Wars trilogy

[@JustinsCollection]

Damn!

[@Captain_Fordo77]

Starkiller looks so so sick! And the nylon is such an improvement as well. My 2nd favorite Hot Toys release of the year next to Darth Revan! Beautiful review Justin, I’m hoping like you that this “Legends” line continues and we get more from the classic Lucas Arts era of Star Wars gaming in 1/6.

[@JustinsCollection]

As for Star Wars I almost want to agree with you! They're both amazing!

[@HYPER_COSMIXX]

LOVE IT'S LIGHT SABERS AND HOW YOU DESCRIBE THEM IS AWESOME! 🎉🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎉🎉

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you!

[@juzoinui4627]

Okay I say this figure is the best Star Wars figure ever, at least for me , that armor looks so nice and the claw hands so nice and light saber hilt collection is just a nice touch, awesome review, I think I’ll get this guy when I can

[@JustinsCollection]

I almost want to agree with you

[@DexterSkelter]

Can't wait to get my hands on him. Great video as always. Thank you Justin.

[@JustinsCollection]

My pleasure!

[@dall1x704]

This was my 1st ever Hot Toys Collectible and I couldn’t be happier 🙌🏼

[@JustinsCollection]

Awesome!

[@charlietheunicorn5383]

Star Killer and Revan, I never would have guessed these would be made by Hot Toys. They are truly worthy of being in any HT Star Wars collection.

[@JustinsCollection]

I know right!

[@NeilMurrell-i4i]

Keep mentioning the swooshing blade affects as you keep pointing out something that hot toys are not correcting that is on figures that cost a lot of money.. keep the exceptional reviews coming as I always find your reviews are the best. 😃

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you! I will definitely keep mentioning it!

[@GeraltvonRiva-666]

For me, The Force Unleashed 1 and 2 are the best Games from Star Wars.😎 We need a Remastered 😭

[@JustinsCollection]

They're so good, I'd play a remaster no question!

[@caesarsantos4347]

I've been waiting for a Vader with that nylon, I've loved it ever since I saw it on the Batman Beyond figure and I asked myself "Why doesn't Hot Toys do the same with Vader or any figure that needs to simulate leather" and finally it seems like the day is near when I'll be able to get a Vader without fear of the suit deteriorating.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah 100% that was the first time we saw it on a hot toys figure. I didn't know if it would work as a ripped leather replacement but this confirms it does easily!

[@yasirreeth1177]

What a fantastic looking figure and a great review.

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you!

[@DanielBorgane]

Amazingly iconic, it would be hard to ignore the potential of a 1/6 scale Star wars game/legend line...i suggest Darth Talon for the next one😁

[@JustinsCollection]

So iconic!

[@joshuag286]

In one of your other videos I was bitching about the eye moving tool that they give you. Saying it was crap. Then, in a recent video I saw you moving the eyes with your finger, and I thought, I'm going to try that. It works so much better, I cannot believe I didn't think of it. Nice.

[@lordaniolist]

Sabers in order: (6:55 for quick access) Rahm Kota - Star Killer's Jedi Master Maul (as you said) Vader's hilt (Because in this version, Star Killer did kill Vader) Star Killer's original blade, it was pretty unfinished The black is half of Kazdan Paratus's lightsaber pike (Jedi you kill on Raxus Prime Then of course Lord Starkiller's hilt.

[@JustinsCollection]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@lordaniolist]

@JustinsCollection no problem! I actually looked it up a while back because I didn't know what pike was until I looked into it.

[@fabianolivera3793]

Lord starkiller from the force unleashed looks great I wish hot toys makes regular starkiller galen Marek

[@JustinsCollection]

He does! I hope they do!

[@jasoncroft127]

The leather wrapped lightsaber belongs to rham Kota, the aniken one is darth vader's broken saber together with mauls.

[@JustinsCollection]

Ah good to know!

[@aunk1134]

Wicked looking figure hope Hot Toys make a regular Starkiller figure possible with force lightning hands

[@JustinsCollection]

I hope so!

[@TEHNOOB916]

You are getting so lucky with these releases. I have yet to even receive my Revan yet. So jealous.

[@JustinsCollection]

Hope you get him soon!

[@Fuz1onVR]

This review by itself made me buy it

[@JustinsCollection]

Hope you love it!

[@JustMitchyNo.9]

There's a figure on my bucket list that I don't think anyone has ever mentioned but an episode 3 darth vader with switch out limbs, removable suit and operating table also medical droid! How ultimate would that be?!?! Obviously has to have a nylon suit!

[@JustinsCollection]

That would be sick!

[@SupermanKalEl7828]

Hi Justin! I never Heard or Saw that New Figure! And I didn't know it was a Video Game Character! But anyway, what a Extraordinary Looking Hot Toys: Lord Starkiller my Friend!!! 😎🔥🔥👍👍

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh! Check out the game if you have time! It's one of my favourites!

[@SupermanKalEl7828]

@JustinsCollection Thanks! 😎👍

[@SupermanKalEl7828]

May you have a Wonderful Christmas with Family, Justin! 🎅🎄☃️👍👍

[@JustinsCollection]

Same to you!

[@SupermanKalEl7828]

@@JustinsCollection Thanks, Friend! Merry Christmas! 🤜💥🤛

[@Quiet737]

This will be my first Hot Toys figure delivering, but I am a bit nervous about the pleather. I will be displaying him in a case but I wanted to know if there are things I should do to prevent the pleather from flaking in the long run.

[@JustinsCollection]

You should be ok as long as you're careful!

[@MRSPIDERAARON]

Im still waiting for mine to come in and the figure looks amazing. I just hope we can get a version of starkiller that's based on his first appearance in the first force unleashed game or his arena armor from the second game

[@JustinsCollection]

Hope you get him soon and yeah I'd cop other versions

[@sierratrist9484]

Amazing review! It's a Padawan, in this case apprentice braid. I didn't even know it was a part of his look until watching this video

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you!

[@djbbass801]

I loved the Revan review this is even better Hot Toys you better make Cal Kestis please

[@JustinsCollection]

I hope they do!

[@NOTNAFilms]

A tiny and pedantic correction, but official lightsabers made by Hasbro (I assume you are referring to the expensive Force FX sabers) don't actually use 'neopixel'. They do use LED strips, but they are significantly dimmer and cannot pull off the same smooth animations as actual neopixels made by 3rd party companies. Regardless, for the purposes of the video, the idea that an LED strip can be installed inside 1/6 scale blades in a similar manner to non-baselit 1/1 scale sabers makes sense!

[@JustinsCollection]

Yep you're right, the concept is the same is what I was trying to get at, IE LEDs not baselit

[@Evadious-2022]

Once again a great review Justin! I feel like hot toys might have been rushing this release. As you mentioned it's almost as if they forgot to include the extra lightsaber as well as a couple of other small little details. The one thing that I'm having the biggest struggle with is the fact that I watched another review video on this figure and they say that they had confirmation from hot toys directly that it is not in fact nylon and it is pleather..... It just seems to be so not published for clarity unfortunately. And if this is in fact nylon, I don't feel as happy about it as I thought that I would it still looks very pleather like.

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you! I think you may be right honestly

[@johnyrico4440]

if hot toys listened to constructive criticism then we wouldn't have to complain.

[@JustinsCollection]

Legit!

[@Nonito2806]

Hi Justin! When will you do a new collection tour? Can't wait to see how much it has grown!

[@JustinsCollection]

Before the end of the year :)

[@MyChocho123]

Thank god for your reviews. So many people reviewed him and none speak to the material 😂 also one led hilt and one non led hilt? Makes no sense, should be two and two 😅

[@JustinsCollection]

Material is so important in my opinion, really needed to go over it myself for my own sanity! And yeah the saber thing is odd

[@blankwavemessiah]

So sick! Always reminds me of the concept of Tulak Horde’s art

[@JustinsCollection]

I need to look that up

[@tylerthorson2610]

I picked up Revan after his review not long ago. Your tempting me again

[@JustinsCollection]

Haha sorry!

[@MOCTurtle4911]

I agree with you about the swooshing saber. A bend in the connector to make the deeper edge color in line with the hilt would be better. I have decided to order this figure and then just have a dedicated dark side shelf.

[@JustinsCollection]

Such simple fixes too!

[@MOCTurtle4911]

​@@JustinsCollectionI usually just use the normal blades for my display. And the hilts that don't have wires. Most of the time my figures don't have the lights on, so I prefer no wires.

[@speckysteven]

Is it possible that the pleather never flakes or breaks or is it guaranteed? If that’s the case I don’t really see the point of buying it, unless there’s a workaround.

[@JustinsCollection]

It depends per figure and how much you touch it

[@speckysteven]

@ So as long as I keep it in a static pose it should stay fine indefinitely?

[@Hexeagon]

Ok I understand and agree with your lightsaber swooshing effect argument, I just don't think many people use them, they look tacky even when they're done correctly like you say. I think the real thing they have to fix are the LED lightsabers that you cannot even perceive if you have the figures under lighting.

[@JustinsCollection]

I think in the right pose they can look great!

[@AwesomeMan14g]

Could you showcase some of JT studio action figures they are sick especially gaki race!

[@JustinsCollection]

Not sure, I've never heard of them. I'll do some research

[@ChaosCollectibles232]

I met Sam recently and he was awesome

[@JustinsCollection]

That's dope!

[@SEEshadow]

I hope they make the sleeveless variation of this armor, it's so much more savage. Have you ever used a custom saber for your figs?

[@JustinsCollection]

Same!

[@Amell_Wesker]

The GOAT!😍

[@JustinsCollection]

He is GOATED!

[@MOTOVISION44]

I love the material choice! Definitely the way to go moving forward!! I wonder when we're gonna get a proper Vader w this non deteriorating material!! 🎉

[@JustinsCollection]

Same! Yes we need that!

[@_Caspergers_]

The main bulk of the head design is from Grievous lol Super stoked to get this, but I wonder why Sideshow has his shipping delayed

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh it is? I need to go back and look at Grievous again lol

[@mist_rainz]

Another good one! But you know why I'm here Justin Lol

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you! Thanks for coming back!

[@palletlover8519]

I feel as though the (Legends) thing is probably a discussion from higher up and not hot toys because even the Black Series figure has “Legends” on front of the box, they just want to differentiate between what products represent current canon and legends, I don’t have issue with it but I understand why some would find it distracting on the name plate when it’s displayed in the collection

[@JustinsCollection]

Could be

[@oldbandit7125]

Nice review Justin! Very badass figure (i only have problems with the Freddy Krueger gloves 😅). But it should be possible to attach other gloves, right?

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah you could but they're a huge part of his look imo

[@paynexkiller]

Bad ass Justin. Thank you.

[@JustinsCollection]

My pleasure!

[@williamDonaldCrites]

How about a force lightening lightsaber blade accessories

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah we didn't get that

[@efc_rackuun]

Holy shit I did not expect my guy galen/starkiller to get some love by hot toys 🔥, hope this leads us to a regular galen figure down the road

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah they surprised us all!

[@chasemiles2166]

I never played KOTOR. But The Force Unleashed was my thing for sure.

[@JustinsCollection]

Same!

[@sporkthethird]

Oh man, this is really tempting

[@JustinsCollection]

He's dope

[@judgeoftruth6058]

is it really nylon? sideshow said its faux leather and its not listed as nylon in sideshows site unlike BD vader or the artisan luke

[@JustinsCollection]

It is Nylon. They were going off a script, I can 100% confirm it is Nylon.

[@sydant]

So I might have to replay the game but those lightsabers Im not sure if they are all entirely accurate. I do think its awesome that they are all supposed to be trophies of the jedi you killed from the main game. That being said, I dont remember a Maul lightsaber being apart of that

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah same I need to go replay it

[@Slam_duncan03]

It seems that lord starkiller was general grievous before general grievous was general grievous. What I mean by that is him collecting fallen lightsaber hilts

[@He-Man00]

That doesn't make sense 😂. General Grievous was not only introduced as a character before this (2005 Vs 2008.) but canonically Starkiller was 2 decades after Grievous

[@zacharymccants77]

Grievous first appeared in 2003, and was conceived in 2002.

[@He-Man00]

@@zacharymccants77 oh yeah he was in the first Clone Wars limited series

Haha yes you're right!

How do you post so much high quality vids keep it up.

I think the logo on his soft goods could be the marek family crest,but it does look similar to general grievous' logo on his cape

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh neat! Yeah it does!

[@Monkeyboy1995project]

Dang KOTOR was before your time???? Dang brother, how old are you??? Im about to turn 30 next year, and i remember playing KOTOR but couldn't beat it at the time. TFU 1& 2 had some groundbreaking physics in the game at the time. Seeing glass shatter in the game was mind blowing back then lol.

[@JustinsCollection]

I was born in the 90s lol

[@lordaniolist]

The Stalker armor was always my favorite, then they made this, a still crude but somewhat more elegant version, love it. Seeing his unarmored concept skin....wooof, he ugly. My sister played KOTAR and I used to watch her, not wanting to play it myself, meanwhile I had Republic Commando and later The Force Unleashed PS2 then Xbox 360 versions. Played the hell out of them.

[@JustinsCollection]

Same it's so good!

[@lordaniolist]

@@JustinsCollection I love when you said Sith Freddy Kruger lol never thought of it that way but you're 100% right

[@angelalgarin311]

What is the difference of the gold and red coins? Region of sale?

[@JustinsCollection]

Yep different store exclusives

[@darthgraveleater]

Is it worth getting the non special edition without the coin?

[@JustinsCollection]

Yes lol

[@thesethumbsareofficial]

Great figure. Looks menacing

[@JustinsCollection]

He does!

[@kalobhunt9001]

Yeah they should have melted those coins down and made something useful and cool. Also to whoever said no one cares your wrong I care it would take the sabers to the next level if they did what Justin suggest. In the movies when the swing the saber it leaves a trail not on both side.

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed! I wish they'd have thought a touch harder on what to give us as the special edition bonus

[@kalobhunt9001]

@ yeah force lightning hands would have probably sold so many more units.

[@lolrecanzz]

As much as I wanna say it's a hair braid, I know he's bald, practically decayed under there if you remember the sith stalker look, almost 100% look of Lord Starkiller fused with Grievous. It's probably most likely a wire left for when he has to go into one of those healing chambers, just plug him in.

[@DOGNUHTS.]

Instead of a damn coin we should’ve gotten a star killer head ahahaha

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed!

[@skyloren2187]

Dang no force lightning fx is sad. Yet it’s such a good figure. Best skin from the best game. I just love TFU

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed, we really needed them!

[@ethanpease5936]

I kinda wish they included blades for the lightsabers he comes with, especially since he can actually use them. I think the braid is from a wookiee.

[@JustinsCollection]

Same!

[@canauditore115]

Hey regarding the body movement being limited, maybe you can say it's sort of accurate, since Palpetine designed his suit with the same intention he did with Vader, limiting his powers, his agility and maybe flexbiliti(?) and basically make him wear a torture machine 24/7. I was waiting for Justin's review on it as soon as I saw it being shipped. Time to bully my wallet I guess..

[@JustinsCollection]

True!

[@DisappearButterflies]

I do hope Airazor from ROTB becomes an fig

[@JustinsCollection]

Same!

[@Mikem-wm2eg]

Never played the games. But I like the figures. This is maybe a wait and see. But I do like this. Great video, that coin and the plether more the plether. The coin would have been better gold. Plether needs to go away. Ht doesn't seem to listen very well.

[@JustinsCollection]

Thank you! I think there is a gold coin depending on where you order from

[@mrvhz7]

Pls try the Dx19 Bruce Wayne on the new batman armory Bruce if you’re getting it Justin.

[@JustinsCollection]

I'll see if it fits!

[@TR12015]

This would look good with hoth Luke

[@JustinsCollection]

Agreed!

They did so good with the nylon only to still include pleather, I just can’t understand

THE BATTLE SKIRT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LEATHER & FLOOR LENGTH, with the Sith stalker Emblem edged into the Back skirt not Plastic Stamped ! anybody who knows the character and concept art can clearly see its a leather material aside from that the figure is Dope

[@JustinsCollection]

Oh damn! It's a bit short then!

[@revanmasterofthefoundry6148]

The black lightsaber hilt is a broken saber pike.

[@JustinsCollection]

Ah good to know!

[@revanmasterofthefoundry6148]

The lightsaber connected to mauls is Darth Vader's episode 3 hilt before the comics changed the origins of Vader's red lightsaber.

[@JustinsCollection]

Ah ok!

[@Gatchaman01]

The only thing that’s going to frustrate me is that claw hands, that’s going to piss me off cuz knowing me am going to break them lol the pleather neck piece am going to replace with a black sock lol cuz is literally stupid to use pleather or maybe Boba Fett’s scarf? If it works cuz is pretty big I’ll mess with it to find a subtable replacement. Wished they used this nylon suit on the two recent Vader’s that is a mistake I will never forgive them.

[@JustinsCollection]

Ah damn! Just watch out for them! You could always make something yourself to cover it even

do u have any action figure of spot

Would be nice to get a double pack of both games on current consoles

The problem with no having a base lit saber, you can't have a swooshing blade

[@JustinsCollection]

True

[@Raxusprime_]

Just so you know, you actually can't use any Vader you want. The correct Vader is the one you showed as the game takes place before ANH.

[@JustinsCollection]

I mean legally speaking you can :P But yes timeline wise I went with pre ANH for accuracy

Nice figure ❤

[@igmetulume5663]

I remember asking the official distributor here, and they said they asked for a confirmation with Hot Toys, that this will not have any PU leather. So it is annoying that they still can't get away from PU. Another thing that is annoying is that this probably means that the belt and shoes of the dark empire Luke will also be made out of PU leather. Btw, for some reason, I really dislike the finger claws on Starkiller's design. His design is nice but the claws, i don't know....unnecessary(?) for a force user with a lightsaber. And I rally behind you on this swooshing effect. The fan shape just looks (pardon my french) stupid for an action pose.

[@JustinsCollection]

Yeah it is very frustrating! I love the claws personally :P
