Really bummed about the hats not being removable, but I guess it wouldn’t fit over Diego’s hair like it did for Veers/Piett. Was looking forward to having those pieces for customizing but I suppose I’d prefer the base figure look correct.

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Yeah the hat thing is like the removable helmet- I love removable helmets but then non-removable has better overall proportion. Thanks for watching Landspeeder Luke!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Nice! Already in hand! They look great honestly. Fine picks for exclusives with all the reuse. Always down to expand the Imperial army! Great video, Ka-Bashed. -Justin

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Thanks justin! Yeah at this point I can tell people “i’m from the future!” 😂 They are great addition to the army. Now I want all the other officers I’ve missed.

[@looniesylver]

Yes! More Imperial army costumes!!! Great reviews!!! 👍

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Yes. Great addition to the army indeed!

[@StraightOtohGunga]

great review! I can't wait to see a custom krennic using that dark times body.

[@Djkold]

A bit disappointing about the hats being non-removable.

[@Lukenessmonster]

Thanks for the shout out dude! I’m happy to help!

[@Rebel_Scum1138]

This person on youtube, the are called ev vee, says that you are the worst black series collector and deserve to go to hell. He is very wrong and if anyone says that to you just know that it isnt true.

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Thank you Lukeness! Love your videos.

[@master.rancisis.figures]

Great video and detailed first look, thank you!

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Thank you for tuning in.

[@GenX_Brian]

Great review 👍🏻

[@ThePenanceStare]

Great review as always! Quick question, is the Olive color on the Cassian Aldhani Mission the same as the Mudtrooper/Bill Burr figures? And the followup, is the black on the Cassian a match to the Ferrix Officer? That one is just a hair tough to tell in the video. Looked the same to my eye. These might not be the most exciting figures for some people, but I see a lot of custom possibilities. Thanks again for doing what you do, it's very appreciated.

[@Rebel_Scum1138]

Wow already got them in hand

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Yeah. I had to double check w the shop to see if it is actually preorder or stock. Hope you guys get yours soon!

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

All look great. Just the high price and articulation letting them down, oh and lack of accessories, blast effects etc.😁

[@ryzer_red]

I love them! The militaristic designs remind me of army men toys which I think fits the Empire well.

[@TANEM315]

Can the Ferrix Imperiall Officer head fit the imperial officer cap/hat from either General Veers or Admiral Piett? Thanks

[@trialbygaming4588]

So considering I'm just watching andor episode 6, it bothers the hell out of me that he doesn't come with a rifle, in the show he never uses a pistol, they all have full rifles and it sucks that they got that wrong.

[@sw_files2541]

Hello. I also make custom figures, but I ran into a problem. I paint the figures with an airbrush cause the final result comes out better than with a simple brush, but after painting, the color easily peels off the model from any careless movement. So I have a question, is there any way to deal with my problem? I will be grateful for your answer.

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

I have a tutorial on acrylic, enamel & lacquer paints. Looking at your description, it might be because you’re using acrylic paints? Several things I do to prevent paint from rubbing off- bed to avoid acrylic paints because they come off easily. Also use primer because primer will bond with the plastic on one side and paint on the other. Make sure your plastic is clean before applying primer and best if you could strip any paint off the plastic surface. Wait for the paint to cure, sometimes for a day just to be sure. And use a good clear coat after you paint to seal the paint in. I find Mr Hobby’s lacquer clear coat to work the best. Hope this helps. Now, if your paint comes off at the joint. It’s a bit more complicated. But try what I said above and let me know if it works better.

[@blitzkrieg1176]

Where did you get them and do you know if there available online or in other countrys like Canada 🇨🇦. Also I want to get all of the figures in this wave except the shore trooper because I don't think there's a major diffrance between the navy shoretrooper and the scarrif shoretrooper.

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

I think freeway toys website can ship aboard (although I don’t see these figures in their website). You can also try Hobbybase and check their Instagram page. They were actually the ones who sent Yakface the first on hand photos. Lastly, try “Return of the nerds.” He is based off of taiwan has a youtube channel, and landspeeder luke has a video on these figures that said they already have it on hand. You might have to pay a premium and shipping, but I think Gary from ROFN is quite fair. He’s been helping collectors out.

[@Juguetetos]

I dont understand, are they out yet, thought they were going up for preorder and hitting Targets/Wal-Marts later.

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Yeah it’s confusing. Preorders are going to come up in the states, but in Asia near their factory base it is already out for sale.

[@rp2k452]

Crazy how quick you got these after they were revealed.

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

I’m quite surprised too. It’s like the stores here have a time machine!

[@garethjames1300]

From a store huh!

[@googleaccount3161]

The laziness of not giving us a hat but instead molds with hats is disrespectful at this point

[@garethbaker7346]

I was considering buying the shore trooper until I realized Hasbro couldn't be bothered to paint the back.

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

It’s a nice paint scheme nonetheless. Well… for the parts that Hasbro bothered to paint 😀

[@garethbaker7346]

@@ka-bashedfigures834 Yes it is a good looking figure from the front. To be honest I am still a little annoyed with the fact they are charging more and more for figures and then to find out they can't be bothered to paint the back when they have always done it in the past.

[@simonmaverick7018]

These look like ‘nice to haves’ and not ‘must haves’ until I see the series. Another shore trooper is disappointing but his pistol like the standard imperial blaster is based off the British Sub Machine Gun (SMG) now obsolete.

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Thank you for the description of the British SMG. Always up for a cool history lesson. 🙏

[@RR_1138]

That was fast , just more kitbash from Hasbro. You guys realize , they stopped making characters in the OTC , aliens, background characters etc. . It’s just “what mold does the factory have that is cost effective in making a profit?” Also they aren’t making Lucas designed troopers, it’s mostly New Disney media troopers

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Yeah I think a Disney makes a lot of decision for figure release and priorities the new shows. There is a huge backlog of figures that would’ve sold really well but the release quota is taken up.

[@gentugo]

I really like those figures. I am not happy that they are Walmart and Target exclusives here in the U.S.

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Dude I feel bad for those living in the US having to deal with retailers like Walmart. Must be a chore!

[@gentugo]

@@ka-bashedfigures834 Yeah it stinks. I wish I could get over to Hong Kong again. I loved it there.

[@zeroh2hero]

We are definitely living in dark times, most aren't even aware of it.....

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

Well, the stock market is pretty bad but that’s another subject 😀

[@scoutman66]

What does that have to do with the video?

[@LukaVILLONistarwarsblackseries]

Sensacional, mas rápido que a própria hasbro ....

I agree lukeness is the best. Best this is waking up and seeing lukeness has uploaded.

[@ka-bashedfigures834]

And he upload regularly too. The guy is a workhorse!

Actually I was originally going to pass on some of them but they look better on hand. But I respect your opinion. 👍
