NEW 2023 Star Wars Black Series STARKILLER (The Force Unleashed) Hasbro PulseCon Exclusive Review

[@crispy_338]

They really need to step their face game up. I’d rather not have to buy custom heads for all of my figs

[@OutOfTheBasement]

True that! -Justin

[@Christo-pv7eb]

They won’t ever be better than custom heads. That would cost em too much.

[@willmat4269]

Seeing this in detail, Quinlan Vos would be an easy figure to do now. Preferably, the Clone Wars version

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Ohhhh that’s actually a great idea! -Nate

[@TheZooBoy111]

Can’t believe we finally have Starkiller in the line. Hopefully him, Malgus, Malak, Revan, and Nihilus all being out now leads the way to other Legends Sith such as Kreia, Sion, Bane, Plagueis, Caedus, and Krayt! Wouldn’t mind some more TFU figures such as Rahm Kota, Juno Eclipse, PROXY, and Maris Brood as well! Oh, also loved seeing the pose with the lightsaber AND force lightning in his hand! Didn’t think that was possible, will definitely have to pose mine like that!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Truth! I’d love to see them come now! I didn’t think it was possible either but I just wedged the hilt storage peg between the fingers to get it to stay and so far it’s been holding up easily! Thanks for watching zoo boy! -Nate

[@MarkyD1967]

Fantastic review! This figure has to be considered for the annual top ten figures of the year. It really is killer. I bought two! Couldn’t resist with that packaging presentation. And when the regular release rolls out, the potential display combinations will be through the roof. Pricey, sure. But damn well worth it. Great job!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Appreciate you checking it out, MarkyD! Thanks for all the support. -Justin

[@Fig_Fury]

This figure i have changed his pose so many times in such a short time of owning him. Cool review and when the regular release hit ill be picking one up as well to utilize all the great accessories. I made a kitbashed Jedi Knight Galen figure using some accessories from this pack and having the option to do that made this so worth the price tag for me.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Good point about the regular release. We'll all have so many unused accessories! I actually haven't opened mine up yet, lol. Thanks for checking out the review, Fig! -Justin

[@meesroos23]

Do u also have the issue of the blade not staying in the hilt solid enough?

[@thescepterofjudah12]

I found a standalone Starkiller in Walmart of all places! 😳 I just happened to go in the toy section to see if they finally put the Boba Fetts on sale, and there was a Starkiller in the section. They had the area blocked off because they had a leak in the roof. When the workers left, I snuck in and grabbed it. 😂 Hey this was the ONLY one they had in their shipment according to the clerk in the front who was looking to see if anymore Walmarts had any… they did not! I’m stoked to get this, because Hasbro Pulse was sold out! This is an interesting set piece because I need some Stormtroopers, and Hasbro Pulse still has this set as it’s hit their outlets now. If the price goes down some more, I’d definitely cop it! Great review!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

That's awesome! Thanks for checking out the review. -Justin

[@buzzsawgr81]

I got this pack and I love it. I did have starkiller posed with the lightning for a while but after a few days it did start going a bit limp. I have a feeling it would look fine if you have it attached to the stormtroopers, but due to lack of shelf space, I haven't been able to test that yet.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah the lightning does limp after a little bit! Thanks for checking out the review. -Justin

[@Ghost_Clan_Leader]

If they give different hands for future figs it would be nice like for a mandalorian or clone to have 2 trigger hands

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Totally agreed! -Justin

[@productionsinparadise2880]

They need to make a battle damaged darth vader to go with him!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

One just came out from Target but yeah an even more damaged version of Vader would be awesome! -Justin

[@productionsinparadise2880]

@@OutOfTheBasement the kenobi version is cool and all, but one specifically from the end of the force unleashed is my dream figure!

[@michaelcoiro9830]

I’ll be on the fence for this pack until it’s no longer available! That’s the strat I’m going with! I just can’t dip that deep into the wallet with the crazy amount of purchases already this fall! Great review Nate!

[@kobeosborne8947]

You must give in, you can't afford to miss this pack!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

A looooot of figures just came out so that's totally understandable! -Justin

[@kuldipbinning1989]

It really is a great figure. Its $132 here in London. I would rather have this then the Retro version that have absolute bare minimum.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Great set! -Justin

[@The_Rage_Kage]

Does he have ports on the back of his belts for other lightsabers? Thats a nice touch if it is, kinda feels like it has the potential to be reused for the Lord Starkiller from the Bad Ending, which would be pretty awesome I won't lie. Hopefully they make Rahm Kota, PROXY, Juno and the other Jedi Masters. I'd kill for a Force Unleashed Shaak Ti.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah they are for extra sabers. I can definitely see them doing Lord Starkiller. That would be epic. Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@TarnishedSkIz]

How did you get the lightsaber attached to the lightening hand???

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I wedged the storage peg between his fingers and it holds up pretty well. -Nate

[@darth159]

I’ll wait for the single release because I don’t need any other stormtroopers or all the accessories. I just want the character. But great detailed review!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

That's totally fair! Good thing it is getting a single release. -Justin

[@SlasherIncorporated]

For me, the accessories are what makes the figure. I could do without the Stormtroopers, but all that other extra stuff allows you to do SO much with Starkiller. The single release ended up being pretty bare bones. They only included his lightsaber. At the VERY least, they could have also thrown in the swooshing red blade effect, or an extra alternate hand. Something.

[@shincedon655]

I'll be waiting for the single figure release. Black series I don't generally collect multiples for army building. Still a cool set regardless.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for checking out the review! Glad it's still getting a single release for all who want it. -Justin

[@TheNocturnal1]

Got mine from their online Outlet sale!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Nice! -Justin

[@robbvanderstoel7725]

Could you check if the lightning hands fit Palpatine? If they don’t re release the throne set, I might be willing to kit bash.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Great idea! Will definitely check. -Justin

[@jasonpatchen1912]

heat his hand sqeeze it shut tight then dip it in cold water and there ya have it

[@OutOfTheBasement]

We'll have to do that for sure! Can't wait to open mine. -Justin

[@dankerbell]

so glad this guy's dropping in price because the mc of the FORCE UNLEASHED should come with force effects and other accessories, and hey, i've never gotten any stormtroopers before so they're nice

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Awesome! -Justin

[@tongla9447]

Will SH figuarts or figma or mafex Starkiller come out anytime soon?

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I don't think so. Do they ever go that deep for character selection? -Justin

[@tongla9447]

@@OutOfTheBasement what a waste of opportunities and market. Don't you think? Mafex has Ahsoka even when the show didn't do that good. I would buy #Mafex Starkiller in a heartbeat.

[@jonmorgan7621]

Wanted this fig forever! One of the alternate heads reminds me of Chaka or evil monkey from FG. The force push effect is poorly done. I would really like to be a fly on the wall at Hasbro TBS design meetings to understand what they can't do or are limited to by budget. For the price could have included more hilts to plug into the belt and a fabric skirt. Of course I bought it.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Solid critiques! Can't wait to actually open mine. -Justin

[@cska_om4021]

I don't actually have those stormtroopers so I didn't mind it but would still like to have Starkiller in proper 6 inch box display.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Luckily he is indeed getting a single release! -Justin

[@332nd_collectibles]

I notice there are a lot of sales going on rn for black series online on Walmart and Amazon mainly, would you guys ever consider a video for black series bangers on a budget ?

[@OutOfTheBasement]

We do have a couple videos about Black Series bangers in-stock/cheap! Maybe we can make an updated one though. -Justin

[@JoeSevs]

Ive been jumping between figure lines, now black series being my main due to it being my highest money spent on a single toyline right now. Even if i grew up with force unleashed games i still can't justify 110 for this as for example the amazon 5 pack children of thanos set retailed for 120 not too long ago

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Luckily this is getting a single release! Thanks for watching. -Justin

[@mojave9883]

I was just curious if anyone has had a unlucky purchase with a black series in plastic free like I have. I just had bought the new season 2 tech and weirdly enough I got two backpacks and no helmet in the box.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

That is definitely weird! Nate and I have had no issues with PFP. Luckily it's going away though. -Justin

[@mojave9883]

Does hasbro by any chance have a way of getting missing accessories from defective figures? Or is it not a thing unfortunately. I haven’t really seen much on it so I figured I would also ask that aswell to see if you guys have ever had any knowledge over it.

[@joshuaanthony1871]

grabbed one for $50 from the outlet sale!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Nice! 👍🏻 -Justin

[@mortarconn]

Great review! Do we know yet when the regular release Starkiller is due out?

[@OutOfTheBasement]

According to recent shipping data, they've arrived in the US. They're in a future wave so hopefully soon. -Justin

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

I'd like some of the supporting characters from the Force Unleashed. Juno Eclipse, Rahm Kota etc. Also Shadows of the Empire figures: Dash Rendar ans co.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

That'd be awesome! Thanks for checking out the review. -Justin

[@NECROMAGICIAN666]

wish he had a waist cut and double joints he would be so much better with double joints

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Black Series is going the "no pin" route. They have been for years with new sculpts. Unfortunately they haven't had pinless double joints in Black Series yet. -Justin

[@NECROMAGICIAN666]

@@OutOfTheBasement i mean the sculpt doesn't get ruined with the double joints feels like they're just lazy

[@SIFIactual]

Got this set and reviewed it as well..love everything about it except the sneary head..doesn't look like him at all..also frying the Stormtroopers with lightning is tricky to display..you won't get them levitating off the ground the troops are a little heavy..but hey!..it works how did you get the saber to stick to the lightning hands?..I must have missed something there..cheers mate🍺🍺🍻 SI FI.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah you'd definitely need flight stands for the Stormtroopers. The Hasbro Pulse ones would work. Thanks for watching out the review! -Justin

[@stephenpenor9957]

They went all out! Love when you have him displayed at the end! brings back memories as I am sure it does to you as well. I like how the light hits his leather bindings the storage on his back wicked! I'm on the fence about getting this version just because of the price, not the quality because he's an epic figure. I'm probably just gonna get the mainline and just use a couple of 2020 stormtroopers with him whenever they release the mainline... I don't know lol! He really does look great just the normal face looks kind of wack. Other than that beautiful piece of art!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

They went all out for sure! Thanks for checking out the review, Stephen. -Justin

[@Lukenessmonster]

Great review! I was really happy to finally get this set in the line!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Same! Thanks for checking it out. -Justin

[@magicbookofhorror3564]

That is pretty awesome but I think I’m going to wait until the single release but it is a shame that you don’t get a second light saber like you do with the vintage collection version

[@OutOfTheBasement]

No problem waiting for that single release! Thanks for watching. -Justin

[@SlasherIncorporated]

The Vintage Collection version was based on the Starkiller clone from The Force Unleashed II. This is the original Starkiller from the first game and he doesn't dual-wield lightsabers in that one. Makes sense to only have one lightsaber.

[@MasterPlo]

Will he be no longer available pretty quickly? I dont know if I should be hasty to buy him or not

[@OutOfTheBasement]

No easy way to tell. The figure will be back as a single release but it’s hard to say how long the deluxe set will be around. Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@elmmolags3069]

Pretty happy getting this set after the price drop it had, I think its worth it at $77

[@OutOfTheBasement]

That's awesome! Nice pickup. -Justin

[@Pinkielover]

Just give me a Sith stalker armor , I hope they make a single pack of this I'd buy it .

[@OutOfTheBasement]

This is definitely getting a single release! -Justin

[@RandoMan07]

My biggest problem is thr Stirmtroopers. The 2020 body is fantastic but not a single 2020 Stormtrooper has the holster. The holster has been part of the armor more than not (as in fewer adaptations of the Stormtrooper don't have a holster) and I wish they would bring it back. The number 1 reason to bring it back is for a proper Iden Versio figure from Battlefront 2.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I'd totally be down for a holster version of the 2020 Stormtrooper! Hope it happens one day. -Justin

This set was over priced. I was very tempted to wait for a possible regular release, but I had to get it. Who knows when we would get a regular release and if we do I’m sure it’ll only be one light saber, only griming hands, and one head. So I caved. Lol

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah they got us good with this one. Definitely expensive as hell but you are right, the standard won’t come with anything besides the red saber and neutral head. Thanks for watching! -Nate

We eventually did end up getting a regular release, but it was VERY bare bones. He only comes with his lightsaber. That's it. Nothing else.

[@theperceptor9287]

Hello Nate Starkiller looks great and his accessories are awesome 👍. Unfortunately I can't afford him at his current price so I'm not picking him up, I'll just have to wait for the single release next year. I wish I could have gotten the force lightning ⚡ and the different saber effects but oh well. I'm guessing the single release will have the blue saber and the three pack will come with the red saber. Hopefully the three pack is reasonably priced. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the new Starkiller figure. Take care and I'll catch you later, Tom

Great job Nate. Your honesty and thoroughness in your reviews are so well done. I love this set and I mean set sooo many good accessories. In a day, with some figures coming with one or none of the necessaries, this is a nice change. I'm surprised to see so many complain in the community about the price when the typical complaint is no accessories. I feel you get a lot of bang for your buck just my opinion. It was also fantastic that I didn't have to wait a year to recieve him (I'm talking to you Ki-Adi-Mundi) I had Starkiller in 3 days that was it. Again thanks Nate.
