S.H. Figuarts Kylo Ren and Rey Star Wars Rise of Skywalker Bandai Tamashii Nations Review

I received the Bandai S.H. Figuarts Star Wars Rise of Skywalker Kylo Ren and Rey, and I was excited. But then the more I thought, and played, and looked, I realized it's just more of the same. Except in Rey's case, it's less than the same. Hmmm.

[@JasonLopezII]

As someone not too eager to rush to see Rise of Skywalker, I see cool toys, I want them. Regardless on how the film is, I want them toys.

[@forrestpenrod2294]

Kylo Ren’s helmet is basically Kintsugi, the Japanese art of fixing pottery by sealing cracks and gaps with gold.

[@nicholasdickens2801]

Lovely, you learn something new every day.

[@Joe-bo2fv]

@Austinsuav3 yeah but in the trailer, he welds it together, I just think that Abrams just wanted the look of the art

[@MrAptaylor1221]

Hmm... I never thought of it that way

[@TheJohn9910]

@darkfullgor 0_0 that sounds stupider than the reforged mask

[@gasti_musri]

@@TheJohn9910 yeah right??

[@savannahs1984]

I know this is a few years old, but I rewatch this all the time. The beginning cracks me up, the Dio reference is hilarious, and the “what the hell are they doing with this figure?” DEFINITELY gets me every time. “I’m gonna let a stand outsmart me, that’s amazing.” Love it! This entire video is just full of funny Robo moments 😂

[@corruptpixel8441]

Robo: we have gotten these figures a couple's of time before Also Robo: So this is my vader/boba/stormtrooper figure number 57 I don't mind tho, i robo uploads a new review i feel the need of watching

[@madmiles5288]

Lol a jojo profile and no mention of DIO and his stand. Respect.

[@Qc4073]

As much as they cost they should all come with a stand

[@crafty835]

JH4073 true

[@matthewshumway8079]

When Dio has a stand in the 80s it didn’t work out that well.

[@kasuga19]

They cost high end when buying thru us distributors. Buying thru Asian retailers, they cost relatively cheaper (not including shipping options).

I am a figuarts lover, but throughout the whole review I was thinking that the Black Series was making it difficult to justify paying the higher price. I will be giving these a miss. Thanks for the review. Love seeing you back on youtube.

[@carlo2384]

Ordered my figures from CDJapan. Great price but no stands! Their customer service said they did not "participate". Something lost in translation. Nice to see your reviews again.

[@jeggsonvohees2201]

Their website is not user friendly. I couldn't find anything.

[@carlo2384]

@@jeggsonvohees2201 I had to email CDJapan about not getting the stands. My understanding was the stands were a bonus like the TLJ droids and that all shops "participated". I prefer the obitsu AC10 stands anyway; more build options and quite sturdy. But a freebie is a freebie!

[@KingOfHalla]

I got 2 First Order stands with my Rey & Ren. But considering I wasnt expecting any in the first place; no complaints. I also got kit kats? Thanks HLJ. The "eyyyyy" hands are for holding the helmet when you have it off and the unmasked head on, same as the TLJ SHF.

[@Arrowdodger]

Gus threatening Kylo made me day.

[@DarthDeuces]

It's pretty crazy that Black Series went from being a let down line of figures to a line that can compare to SHF. Great review!

[@chem.4919]

Yep. Hasbro has been killing it with Marvel Legends and the Black Series. The only reason I buy imports now is if I feel it's unlikely Hasbro will make the same figure.

[@mattgruetzmacher23]

I’m so happy I only got the Kylo figure now. The Rey black series is amazing

[@gasti_musri]

So the kylo sh f is better? i have doubts on the headsculpt

[@marcosjechevarria4196]

When I stared following you had 40k subscribers. Now look at you go. Haha. Awesome. You are one of the best reviews on youtube. Hopefully I get to meet you in person someday. Many blessings Robo. 💪😊

[@andrewodonoghue3695]

Hey robo, just got my kylo, love him a ton, thought I'd let you know that figuarts resculpted the Sabre hilt, and the neck of the helmeted head, also the new helmet is a bit larger than the TLJ version, looks more beastly imo

[@mahoutsuguy863]

This review makes me sad because we never got any Figuarts Finns, Poe, Grevious, Droidekas, etc. But somehow we're this many Kylo and Rey's deep :( lol

[@Verithiell]

It's great Kylo comes with 3 sabers, unlit, unlit with peg, and ignited. I wish every single Jedi came equipped like this, and not like Kenobi, where they've given him the same hilt as the new hope version, even though ep III doesnt have a d ring (and on anh version it serves a practical purpose, as it hangs from the belt by that very ring - not the case in ep III though). Those minor inaccuracies drive me insane sometimes. I hope they will nail all of the empire strikes back figures. I cant wait for Lukes, mostly.

[@fieyilonprzsnz8112]

I must agree with you Robo! I’m a huge Figuarts fan, but the toned down red on Kylo’s dome and Rey’s many shortcomings make the Black Series a great option. Hard pass on Rey... Kylo just needs some paint and a steady hand! Anyways, awesome to have you back on the Tube platform. Gus... good day to you, you sneaky bastard!

[@tammiteatime6837]

Omg, thank you so much for reviewing the stands as well. I could not figure out how to put it together without risk of breaking it. 💖💖💖 Great review.

[@dylanromano300]

Gotta love those Dio references! Love your videos, keep em coming.

[@bradencreech6630]

"Rainbow in the dark" you did good :)

[@allankostyk5035]

So glad I passed on them. Give us new characters from all the other movies.

[@nicholasdickens2801]

That Rey torso (lack of) articulation is a bit of a pain. Considering she’s like ‘Action-Girl’ I’d love some articulation for dioramas.

[@CrimsonMoonM]

Neat. Tamashii Nations finally figured out how to do a good-looking cloth cape.

[@Inv4drz]

I don't know. I really like that Kylo Ren, I kinda want to get it but I have The Last Jedi version. As much as I like and really want that cloth hood and cape, I dont wanna spend $60 on the same figure to only get one thing that's added. But damn, that cloth cape and hood is really calling to me

[@kwalton7690]

Thank you for this review! Soooo glad I decided to just get Black Series TRoS Rey instead of Figurarts. That hood tempted me but was not worth paying $30 more.

[@dankerbell]

i'm glad you didn't quit

[@FLY200902]

Can you put the cloak with the Adam Driver head for ur figure? Because it seems impossible

[@joep84]

Sooo glad your back. Black series has been catching up for awhile now. This confirms it. Especially the Rey. Black series all the way.

[@specialk3357]

So Kylo is worth the money, just being a menacing bad guy with fun options...and Rey, I’m good w/o her unlike Ben/ cannot bend Solo! Great review as always Robo!

[@brixzusjaeger3385]

Never been excited for the SHF Rey, Black Series will do! So glad you mentioned the Mafex KR it is easily the best KR and I have him!

[@dtorrey867]

Rey should arrive Friday, I'm looking forward to getting the figure. I'll probably pick up Kylo soon ish. I like that he's darker and the cape seems great. I'll use my TLJ version to make a Starkiller figure, perhaps.

[@NhanHo-jt6ro]

Good thing I passed this Rey figure. Kinda this Kylo for the cloth cape tho. Nice review as always. P/s: My KZbin feed looks nice with your vids here Robo =)))

Any chance we'll be getting a top ten figures of 2019 video soon?

Its a shame they didnt even try to achieve some character development through different outfits.

[@almerakbar]

Are you getting the model kit Rise of Skywalker kylo Robo? Would like to see how that turns out

[@OfficialFinnTheDiamondKnight35]

10:13 Oh look, a D-Ring. Silly Bandai.. they forgot to remove that; because that's inaccurate to the movie prop. Edit: They should've just left with the floating belt like they did with TLJ Figuarts Rey; sorrynotsorry but, that figure is bad considering the hindered articulation of the engineering and quality control with the ball joints on the legs. Pretty much the articulation is useless if that's the case tbh Don't get me wrong; the overall look is good, but the articulation functions as pretty much borderline useless for a $70 import figure. Edit: Going back to this comment made me realize whoever designed that Rey figure doesn't know how articulation works and turned it into a brick.

[@JAKEATO]

The Black Series and SH don't have the gold/yellow lightsaber yet .

[@JashinSacrifice]

So you wanna tell me Rey is unnecessarily “tight” and you need to “force it in there”? ( I feel so dirty now 😔. )

Did someone manage to put the unmasked head with the cape or is it just me that can't ?

[@edlattanzio6594]

I just wanted one to look like Daisy the only reason I like the SH one

[@Leidungr000]

figuarts kylo ren is too small for 1:12 scale, figuarts rey, black series rey and black series kylo ren are correct 1:12 scale, most of the time figuarts is correct 1:12 scale but they still frequently make some figures too small , black series figures are i would say almost always in the correct 1:12 scale

[@cashewfruit4656]

0:53 same copper look for the PREQUELS?

[@ARC_Trooper_Han]

[@Verithiell]

My overall impression of those two figures is that they are lackluster. Totally not worth the shf name. Whie I do not like BS due to the materials used, which translate into loose and ratchety joints, I think in terms of proportions they look signifficantly better.

[@teddybearjedi8865]

I have to agree with You, I'll take the Black Series versions of Both, Over these 2, All Day Long. Especially considering Bandai Reused 90% of their last Kylo too. I also Agree on Kylo's Cape, it's Odd that Figuarts has gone to Softgoods, and The Black Series has gone to Plastic, but You can get a Custom, Wired Cloth Cape for the Black Series and still spend less than the Figuarts version. The Only thing I wish Hasbro had done with the Rey, is give Her a Swappable Hood Up Option, but She does come with the Bag, that the Figuarts doesn't come with. I know Figuarts Lovers are going to say that the Black Series doesn't come with Extra Hands, but Honestly, I don't need another Baggie of Hands in the Drawer, and I'm more than Satisfied with My Black Series representations of these 2, which cost Less than One of those 2 Figuarts Versions.
