Yes, I know it’s Ray StevenSON. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ -Nate

[@davidedge2828]

No, it's Gray Weaverston!

[@theperceptor9287]

I've got nothing to add to this comment.

[@Dillrnbng]

If Hasbro wanted to put out figures asap, they should've done it like they did with the Andor stuff: release a bunch of troopers and background guys first to satisfy the hunger for new figures, and then take their time to do the core cast much later, to minimize glaring inaccuracies. Tbh, I was actually looking forward to Baylan and Shin's figures despite not enjoying Ahsoka.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Totally agreed! Such bummers. -Justin

Black Series Blunders

[@OutOfTheBasement]

100%! -Justin

[@kuldipbinning1989]

An honest review. I only got the Balon figure. It is very disappointing mainly because he is so small. I don't understand the rush,they got Marak, correct. Also, it is very disrespectful to Ray's memory.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah I don’t like being so brutal but I couldn’t let it slide for these two. Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@michaelcoiro9830]

Yeah I’m with everyone else , I really love these characters,but the figs will not be purchased by me unless discounted and even then may pass on that shin(oof!). I appreciate the effort to get em out quick, but hopefully that’s a lesson learned for some complainers.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah we really wish they'd just take their time with these instead of rushing these out! -Justin

[@Alejandra-cv7rj]

Buy the figure and go online and get someone to 3d print you a head that's my plan for shin hati.

[@scolioreset]

There’s no excuse for such a mess. Following Ray Stevenson’s passing, there was an amazing opportunity to give that character the affordable release that could at least look decent. And Ivanna Sakhno has quite a distinctive portrait and they… “Barbie’fied” the heck out of her here. Remove the reddish-orange lightsaber and you almost think she could have been a survivor of the Purge. Her eyes are the most egregious, especially when put next to the box. For all the effort they tried to put on Mando Ahsoka in 2022, this is a step down. It’s officially a TBS Blunder. When put next to Count Dooku, it’s hard to believe they’re from the same brand or line.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah I think the likenesses on both are awful! -Justin

[@banzaibobA7V]

Ay. Honestly, if I'd stopped to think about it a bit longer, I would've passed on both of these figures. I think the FOMO got me a bit. Once they arrive I'm going to do the chop method to fix them. IE chop 1cm out of Shin's legs (and glue the legs back together) and add the cm to Baylan's (built up with epoxy and painted). I don't really like the look of the thigh swaps. Annoying that we need to fix the figures ourselves, but may as well make the best of the situation seeing as I have the figures on the way already.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

A lot of people have been doing thigh swaps to fix these figures, idk I feel like that's better than straight up cutting the plastic. Let us know how that works out though! -Justin

[@banzaibobA7V]

@@OutOfTheBasement Ended up just doing the thigh swap cos it seemed less hassle in the end. I used Reva on Baylan and Moff Gideon on Shin. Even glued her knee pads onto the Gideon leg parts. Looks good. Well. Good enough.

[@Mat25091]

Some people were complaining about the lack of Ahsoka figures after that January stream. This is why I was glad there were none. Let's be honest, we shouldn't really be seeing Ahsoka figures until early 2025 if we want them to be accurate. I feel so stupid, but I'm probably still going to buy these figures. Loved the characters, and there's a chance we don't get any more versions of them. I feel like Ray's passing makes it easy for them to leave his story alone (didn't his plan seem WAY too big for a subplot of a TV show?). It would be nice to see Shin again, but we might not. She could have left Perida, but she chose to stay there with those bandits. If Season 2 begins with Ahsoka bringing Sabine home through the world between worlds (and I really hope season 2 is not just the reverse of season 1 where they spend it all trying to get home), Shin might be done.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yep that's exactly why we're getting characters like Thrawn waaaaay after the series aired. And I absolutely support that. I'd much rather wait and get accurate figures. I don't need to be playing with the toys as I'm watching the show, I don't get that mentality at all. We're adult collectors here! -Justin

[@jamieglasse7628]

Would love to see what you do to customise these. I've never customised before, but these two clearly need it.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I think Nate plans on going all out for them so I'm excited as well! -Justin

I have my reva on stand by for Baylan. Shin ive seen twice and have not bought. Hoping i can find her later for discount. Thanks for the review brother!

Nate bringing the heat 🔥. I appreciate your excellent, honest review of these two figures.You know supposedly Hasbro listens to their fans -well they need to pay attention here. These figures are everything wrong with the line and they need to hear it. Good job my friend.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for checking out the review, Mark! -Justin

[@pletho79]

Great to see no punches pulled. Seen a few too many "just buy 2 more figures and thigh swap, problem solved nbd," but even before we knew about height, I was not feeling the likenesses, Baylan's weird patina, long saber, and no cloaks. Imagine if Marvel Legends made MCU Iron Man and Spider-Man, gave them the same "guy with brown hair" selfie series head that looks like nobody, splashed orange paint all over Iron Man, gave Spider-Man a comically short web line, no masked heads because you don't need the full costume, oh and by the way they're both exactly 6" tall... and then radio silence about it. That would still be better because you know those characters will be redone within a year. I can't think of other figures that have tanked my confidence in a line doing right for the fans as much as these two. I really wish they'd pulled production and delayed to get them more accurate, knowing that this is probably it for these characters. Nothing against ppl who still bit or went for thigh swaps - I get it, I really wanted these two but just can't stomach on principle paying company more money to mod away issues that company should be accountable for fixing. Here's hoping for SHF or Mafex to spot the gap, swoop in, and clean up the mess, but highly doubt it. Just toys, but man it stinks when they're usually so good to have no accountability or course correction for these two.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Appreciate your comments! Check out our newest Short, Nate did in fact do the thigh swap! Haha. Thanks for checking out the review. -Justin

[@grandmofftony]

I didn't think the height thing was going to bother me, but it's so glaring, I think you're probably right they must have rushed them into production or something, had everything set to default. Luckily I had gift cards left over from Christmas so at least the two scrap figures to fix the heights didn't cost me anything :))

[@OutOfTheBasement]

These will have to drop to under £10 here in the UK before I will consider buying these. They not only feel rushed but the whole wave feels like it was made down to a budget!!

[@AfterthymeGaming]

It's always about budget when it comes to Hasbro. And then they pump out the prices as if the figures are worth that many bucks.

[@thomasmulgrew]

Does anywhere actually still have stock? I'm not after these but I remember seeing pre orders selling out.

Good review. I found both of these figures at Walmart but left them on the pegs. I just didn't think they were worth the full retail price. I may pick them up if they go on sale or clearance.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I feel you on that Tom, I see them both going on deep clearance. Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@CorellianCollectiblesTBS]

Tough medium for newer media figures. They want to pump them out, but then there are inaccuracies. That's why I am glad we are getting things like the Droideka now and not 8-9 years ago. Detail, articulation, and engineering have all been amazing this past year and a half, the figure would've been subpar. That's why I am also glad we are getting upgrades for so many older figures that needed them (like Jedi Luke). Also, feel better, Justin!!!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

True, it’s definitely a double edged sword. I just wish we could convince the bathtubbers they don’t need the figgies right away. I think the endless complaining kills me more than the actual figures lol. But you are right I’m so glad it took them this long to make SBD and Droideka. I know if they were pre 2020 they would be questionable. Thanks for watching!! -Nate

[@CorellianCollectiblesTBS]

@@OutOfTheBasement For sure! I saw these revealed and had no major issues; I knew I would pick them up. Even the height thing didn't stop me. Should we have to correct the figures? No, but my expectations are also that not every figure will be a banger. This is still manufacturing and business. There are going to be QC issues. There will be miscommunications on heights, colors, accessories, names, etc. Expecting perfection with everything is unrealistic.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

100% agreed. It’s kinda crazy how much people expect out of a domestic $25 toy line.

[@TheIndigoBros92]

I am still baffled by this pair, how could the sculpting team not figure out that they messed up the heights? I am just thankful that this two being so bad that helped me save some money (only pre ordered the Starkiller from this wave), since I don't think we should have to use Reva and Vel Sartha as fodder figures to fix this glaring issue.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah I just don’t get it. Maybe it was a new team or some outside contract sculpting? Who knows. I can’t wait to do the leg swap. Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@kenmercadante4565]

I cancelled my pre-orders when I started seeing the initial reviews--I can't reward Hasbro for these half-baked efforts, as much as I really want these characters in figure form.

Hello Nate thanks for sharing your thoughts and reviewing these new figures. I'll probably get these figures eventually. I'm going to wait for a sale or clearance. I'm not going to pay full price for "defective" figures and I'll never fix them, I'm not great at taking figures apart and combining them. I've tried in the past but I'm not good at it. Thanks for taking the time to review these figures I appreciate it Nate. Take care and I'll catch you on your next video. Tom

The Shin portrait looks more like the actress than the character.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I don't know about all that! -Justin

[@caseyynelmss]

I’m gonna pick up Baylan because he was easily my favorite character from Ahsoka (RIP Ray Stevenson) but I was wondering, whoever may see this, is there a way to harden the plastic on his lightsaber hilt? I would like to pose him in his Form V starting stance, and that style will warp the saber if I do it with that soft of a plastic.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I'm not sure but yeah that soft gummy plastic on the sabers sucks! -Justin

[@helioseternal2537]

In all honesty the issues with these two have put me off of buying them since they would have been the only Ahsoka black series figures I was going to get

Baylan should be slightly taller and Shin should be WAY smaller

[@OutOfTheBasement]

[@dazester]

I don't know if they submit the figure to a limited fan group or some kind of person like you Nate before to go with the production.... ??? If not, it should at least be done!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah this was a bittersweet purchase when I finally found them. The big score win from that haul was the Black Widow Winter Soldier re-issue I found at the same store. When you guys go through your mods, can you do a video showing what you're doing?

@@OutOfTheBasement it really is baffling isnt it? Honestly, given the passing of Ray, the keast they can do is do an updated run, but that would be a bit of a PR minefield for them having just taken people's money already, it would be a bit of a lose-lose situation. I may pick this up second hand or on sale, but I may just wait and see if SHF or Mafex do them both. By the time you factor in the custom changes, even new painted heads, the price difference isnt much really, and no extra effort. IF they do them, of course.

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

Apart from them both being totally the wrong height; Baylan doesn't look bulky enough. He looked powerful in the show. I do think his head is a better sculpt than Shin's. Maybe it's the decco that's letting her down. Shin's lack of paint is glaring. They'd both have to be super discounted for me ke to buy them. Even then I'd repaint them and have em as custom characters. Not sure what I'd do about his over long blade.

I don't know. Clone Wars season 7, The Mandalorian seasons 1 & 2, Andor, and The Bad Batch have all been Disney era shows I've enjoyed. -Justin

[@tommydeamon7657]

Shin at least too me was allmost passable were baylon was butchered hard

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I agree she’s slightly better imo. -Nate

[@LoDoFilmUnlimitedMedia]

The decision makers at Hasbro absolutely SUCK AT THEIR JOB!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

They all can't be hitters, unfortunately. Still plenty of excellent stuff in the past year, out right now, and upcoming. -Justin

[@Higgi73]

Good review and of course you are right as always. I gave my Baylan Luke's (Lightcruiser) cape, it doesn't look bad at all. The new Mandalorian (Glavis Ringworld) is a masterpiece and we should all be focussing on that and be happy about that. I have spoken. ;)

[@OutOfTheBasement]

New Mando is amazing! -Justin

[@darthprime4916]

What a shame

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Right! 😤 -Justin

[@busterbrown2117]

U could probably make a few alterations to Baylan and pass him off as a Dwarf and easily slip him into a LOTR collection.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

😂😂😂

[@melody8826-p2c]

I will say this and only say this once. Hight doesn’t matter and is a dumb thing to care about! Everyone in this comment section is high

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I think you are the stoned one here pal lmao

[@melody8826-p2c]

@@OutOfTheBasement whatever.

[@epicgamesforyou3615]

I love the videos and reviews, as always. One thing I have to chime in about though. It’s a black series figure. At a $30 ish price point, it’s way above average! Sure there have been much better entries (Morgan Elzbeth) but my only complaint lies with the height differences. Keep up the great work guys!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I would totally disagree as pretty much every other Black Series figure in mainline at the $24.99 price are better than these two. These are outliers in an otherwise pretty consistent line for mainline Black Series. -Justin

[@pinoyamericausmc783]

I’m done with Black series! Just kidding…Looks like Shin was drinking some of that blue milk with extra growth hormones. I’m just looking forward to the Droideka and super battle droid.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Droideka and Super Battle Droid are definitely hype! -Justin

[@aleclegomaster]

Damn so much hate from all over, I personally adore these figures yeah the height is annoying but to me I see the likenesses easily, I'm obsessed with my figures

[@OutOfTheBasement]

We might hold these products to higher standards. Who knows? -Justin

[@simon-piermartineau7218]

Man they butchered my waifu Shin what in 7 hells is that figure....

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah it’s pretty bad. Thanks for watching! -Nate

[@mrprice7500]

Oof!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yep...

[@user-yx6mz5rc2x]

Rumor has it that Hasbro is getting close to filing Bankruptcy 😂😂😂 you know what that means they will sell their IP and stop ✋ making crappy figures no one wants and now I can get some battle diodes on the cheap and star killer for pennies on a dollar hopefully this Rumour is true and the way Disney is failing I kind of believe it 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@OutOfTheBasement]

They just released their earnings report and revenue declined 15% last year, while that’s not great news it’s certainly not bankruptcy status lmao. Don’t hold your breath too long on Starkiller. I don’t wanna hear it when you played clearance chicken and missed him and now he will be atleast double on the aftermarket. -Nate

[@StraightOtohGunga]

I love that those in the community have been sharing their fixes for these figures. They are just so bad out of the box

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Totally agreed! Landspeeder Luke is one of the goats. -Justin

[@Pensive_Melancholy_]

No one likes these figures so why did everyone buy these? If they are disappointing why not just return them and not waste time talking crap about? Why are all KZbinrs the same, buy talk crap about toys repeat. Does anyone have any real creativity? Does any KZbinr have something new or fresh to add?

[@OutOfTheBasement]

"Buy talk crap about toys repeat." Have you seen any of our other videos? This type of braindead comment happens every single time we post a negative review when the majority are positive. It's like asking a movie critic why they watched a movie they didn't end up liking. Like wtf?!? We review these things. It's a review. LOL. -Justin

[@Pensive_Melancholy_]

@@OutOfTheBasement why does every KZbinr talk about videos they have done in the past and not address the comment made about this specific video post.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

You're surprised that we reviewed two Black Series action figures as Black Series action figure collectors who shoot reviews on KZbin. I don't know what else to tell ya. We collect the Black Series.@@Pensive_Melancholy_
