The ideal Vader for me will come when they hopefully use the TESB body with a brand new removable helmet head for the ROTS anniversary. The only flaw the TESB one has for me is the brow of the helmet is not fully accurate and it makes him look angry or annoyed. The same happens with the FX helmet

It's kinda hard to pick figures that are still available. I know we all like to complain about multiple releases of the heroes. But for the new collector who just got into the line, there's not that much to choose from that isn't scalper price for some characters, though I definitely agree with this list minus the guard. I'd probably swap that with a stormtrooper for a general OT collection. I agree that they're not based on OT, but most people are gonna buy them for OT collections and they still look like they belong (I believe they're actually based on the rogue one appearance that was apparently reused for mando)

That’s absolutely fair and I agree with everything you said. Especially with the Stormtroopers being based on Rogue One designs and reused for Mando.

Here’s what my prequel “must have” list would be (no particular order): 1: Anakin Skywalker (RotS) 2: Obiwan Kenobi (RotS) 3: Jar Jar Binks 4: Mace Windu 5: Commander Cody 6: Jango Fett 7: Count Dooku 8: General Grievous 9: Battle Droid 10: Darth Maul I’d put padme on this list but I think the one we have isn’t a great representation of padme as a whole. Jango is on the list as a mirror to Boba. Dooku, Greivous and Maul being the main villains. Anakin and obiwan as the main heroes. Mace in there for good measure! And then Cody to represent the GAR and the battle droid to represent the CIS

Hey Mike! Love the list, and I agree with everything. I'm curious if you can share what's the difference between the OT and Mandalorian version of the Stormtrooper armor. To my untrained eyes, they look the same. Thanks!
@MikeKaess
@MikeKaess 2 жыл бұрын
They are pretty much the same. In my head, OT stormtroopers have the holster. And the new one doesn’t. But upon a little more research, not every stormtrooper in the OT has holsters. So it’s kinda iffy. The design of the stormtroopers armor changed subtly between the 3 original movies.

Good list overall. I do agree with most of the choices, in fact, the only one that I would swap out would be Gamorrean with the new mold Stormtrooper and swap Hoth Leia with Endor Leia for only 1 thing, her hands on the Hoth figure can barely hold the rebel blaster (and her trigger finger is a bit fragile), while the Endor Leia can hold her pistol without any issue and the soft good poncho is a great look for her. I really do hope Hasbro does a better R2 in the future (since the best scale for R2 for a Black Series display is the Bandai model kit).

After seeing the thumbnail pic I was curious/concerned as to where this one was gonna go. BUT it really turned out well. I may have omitted Lando in top 10 but hard to do only 10 for OT! Luke & Vader would be my top 2 and Emperor needs to be higher, but small differences.

I just started collection Black Series figures and I gotta say, I wished I had watched your list beforehand; it would've saved me a lot of research and head scratching decisions haha! Had I known that the Cantina version of Obi-Wan bore the photorealistic head, I would've tried finding him instead of buying the ANH 40th anniversary version. Still, while trying to collect one "definitive" version of each character, I'm glad I've still gotten pretty much most of the figures you've mentioned. The only exception is the Gamorrean Guard, as the Jabba plot from ROTJ is not my least favorite part in all of the OT. Now, I'm just waiting for Hoth Princess Leia to arrive; I ordered the red carded version not knowing that there was a ESB 40th anniversary version. I hope they're both the same and that I did not get the least better of the two... Don't know if you did more Top 10 videos in the PT and ST, but can't wait to find out!

I agree on the Hoth Leia. She is my favorite and she was my first Leia when I was a kid and Bespin Han is my favorite Han. My first Han was big head Han, but Bespin Han got the most play time when I was a kid. He got so wore out he couldn't stand on his own anymore.

These thought exercises of top tens are interesting. It’s moot for me because I’m not new to Black Series. Many years and a few hundred figures later I could probably do 20 for OT, 10 for PT, and maybe 7 for ST, then all of the Solo/Rogue One/most of Clone Wars/All Bad Batch/almost all the Mandalorian and most of the Gaming Greats are fun figures too. But dang it Hasbro! Stop punking us and redo R2! He is the most consistent hero in the whole franchise. Even in his old age when he’s napping all the time, R2 comes through! Give the character his due. Bandai did. You don’t want another company to have a more definitive version of that character do you? How hasn’t Lucasfilm just banged down the door demanding R2 get some respect?

I think it was a really good list. My favorite versions of a few of these are not Black Series, but figuarts. I love that new Jedi Luke they recently put out. It may officially be from his Madalorian appearance, but I have him with my BS Vader. I find it odd I missed this video when it came out. Sometime youtube sucks with their notifications.

I agree with most of this, I don't particularly care for Lando or the gam guard so I'd put in R2 and a storm trooper instead (I know all the R2's suck, but I feel like you have to have him) other than that I personally think the Snow Speeder Luke is one of the BEST figures in the entire line, and I personally think ANH Vader looks cooler than ESB, the slightly worse articulation isn't enough for me to put ESB over ANH. I love this style of video!! Please make more!!!
@MikeKaess
@MikeKaess 2 жыл бұрын
To me, Lando is just as core of a character as R2, and his figures don’t suck. Snowspeeder Luke was on the short list, but his outfit wasn’t iconic enough, and the hat under the helmet just made me decide he wasn’t top 10 worthy. But I like where your head is at.
