Star Wars Black Series Ahsoka Series Hera Syndulla Marrok and Professor Huyang Hasbro Figure Review

[@aeztus]

The new rotaty shots are nice, but I think the blue background is just iconic. It's a trademark at this point, and I feel that should be part of the new shots too

[@TheFwoosh]

I thought about but then I'd have to do something about the turntable too. Which may be a future project, after I get the test runs down.

[@milesredbear6737]

[@Pizzathehutconsumer]

I agree

[@grievoustheboss]

[@MarkyD1967]

Yea, Huyang’s head/face is missing so much detail. Why couldn’t Hasbro paint a black line mouth?

[@jaxen.studios]

he’s also the wrong color unfortunately, he’s more silver in Ahsoka

[@Pizzathehutconsumer]

Well look at Robo posing these figures on a rotating base. You know that I'm loving it!

[@star-ink4609]

Yes, always love when Robo posts 🎉 especially Star Wars 🎉🎉

[@DCReviews4]

I really like the opening camera!!

[@cinnamonbun1379]

My hot take is that I actually preferred pfp since I never got warped accessories when they were packed in baggies and protective cardboard sleeves, but the plastic tray bent the saber that came with Ezra

[@Cornholio174]

To me this Hera is one of the best looking figures in the entire line

[@XarofCydon]

I like the changes to the review process. The 360 at the end with the darker background looks good and the quick unboxing is nice.

[@TheFwoosh]

Thanks! I like to change things up every now and then, keeps me learning new things and having fun with the whole process.

[@thelockpot7836]

Good editing robo!

[@MarkyD1967]

Excellent reviews as always. Love your honesty, enthusiasm, criticisms, and attention to details. Thanks! Also, re: that Sabine helmet - wow! I haven’t opened mine yet, so now I have something to look out for. It would appear the 2nd one you got is a running change to fix that, and you got a better face paint to boot. Appreciate the heads up on that once I get around to my openings and shelf placements. Cheers! 🍻

[@johnmorin7177]

me jealous what there are dong with new Black series using a new hip joint that doesn't have stupid thigh swivel. and it make leg look natural and me hope to see its on Imperial Armored Commando and Rebel Fleet Trooper there is lots of Trooper don't have thigh armour why not do them on this and new hip joint that doesn't have thigh swivel, it is much better to work with. It there is lots of Trooper I'm not concerned what it looks like on the thigh armor. I find it gets in the way of the articulation. but hasbro can't do nothing right its peg warms jedi figure and boring figures. ME hope ON Imperial Armored Commando TROOPRES only good one were krrsantan and CAD BANE

[@robotwestern3818]

Yes, would love to see Marrok with the slits in his face-plate painted black.

[@MarkyD1967]

I wonder if a thin point black sharpie would do the trick. I may try it myself once I get around to opening the one I got. Or maybe I’ll wait until this guy’s price gets lowered to grab a 2nd one to fiddle with in case I mess it up. Huyang too. He needs a serious face wash…😏…ha!

[@TagartTalking]

The shine on the shins if from the packaging squishing and flattening the plastic of the figure. Hit it with some heat and it will clear up. :)

[@jacobfoster9185]

I think Marik actually looks like a good guy. Aragon style. If I was a kid playing with it he'd definitely be a good guy.

[@mikey9906]

Got Marrok a couple days ago and I agree I like the ball jointed wrists

[@chrisdaugherty8265]

Thanks Robo for another great review. It made a bad day a little better.

[@TheFwoosh]

Then it was totally worth the effort to make, hope it continues to get better!

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

The lazy susan turnarounds is a really nice addition.

[@TheFwoosh]

Thanks! Just trying something new, keeping it fresh.

[@TagartTalking]

Really needed some Robo today!

[@MDestron2282]

Now we need a Marrok that howls and shoots out green farts when you squeeze him. Get on it (add a toy company name here)! Pronouncing Marrok differently every time throughout the video was hilarious, Robo.

[@scottskene8387]

Picked up my Marrok last week, lot's of nice little surprises with him. Love the ball joints on the hands. But still hate the thigh wiggle. And I know you weren't saying that a Force user needs to see to fight with a blast shield over their face 🤨 I am going to need to trackk down Huyang for a showdown with Marrok 😆 And it's not just the green of the skin that draws the eye to Hera's face; that's a damn fine Mary Elizabeth Winstead likeness

[@TheFwoosh]

Is it a Force user, or just dead guy mist in a suit of armor? Which....doesn't really help the blast shield argument, haha!

[@scottskene8387]

@TheFwoosh I had assumed he was an Inquisitor reanimated through Night Sister magic. I think the same green mist was used on Clone Wars to reanimate Night Sisters

[@James-mq8mh]

Your first sabines helmet kinda looks like the rebels Sabines helmet painted like the shows design, don’t have either figure so I wouldn’t be able to cross examine myself though

[@wewillalleatglass]

The absolute irony in Robo saying "its your own fault for not readin em" a bit after saying the characters have individual bios on the box when they in-fact do not have individual bios but just the same copy pasted blurb about the Ahsoka show.

[@Harpoquondrax]

Looks good, can't wait to get mine!

[@toymirth]

I've basically have given up on BS. Just can't keep up with Hasbro any longer with everything I collect. I'll need to live vicariously through you.

[@TheFwoosh]

Oh, I can't fault anyone for cutting back, there's just too much out there. I'm still picking up multiple lines but being very choosy about it.

[@basicfacekick]

I'd take a Gundam marker to Marrok's visor slits and that'd be enough, I think. Some of that armor could probably use a dark wash to pull out the details too, but not really necessary. Definitely hear you on the variety of figs here vs. Andor or Obi-Wan... lots of human characters with great drama but not ideal for fun toys!

[@prophet924]

Hera took me a while to come around on. She felt like cosplayer initially. I haven’t got Hera or Huyang yet. I’m sure I will in time. I did get Marrok. Yes I was bummed out it was a Scooby Doo green ghost in armor instead of reanimated by Night Sister magic Barriss Offee. I like the call backs I call them poetic moments. The figure struck me more interesting than Hera and Huyang. It was I can buy two of these five I see. Who do I bring home? Marrok and Pre Visla won out. Sure nits to pic. I really like both.

[@Nin_the_Shinobi]

I cut out a channel in the torso for Marrok to improve his abb crunch

[@TheFwoosh]

Oooo, good idea, I may have to play some.

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

I'm not gonna get around to this show for a while (it's a sequel to two shows, one of which is a sequel itself, I have things to do, okay?!) but I'm loving Marrok's look. I might just get him to have a slightly futuristic knight.

[@brianng8350]

Is the Sabine figure a collector’s item? The definitively fixed the helmet… the original one is wider and shorter, which is why it show the chin and keep on. The Hera figure,you definitely have to rotate the head to see the likeness at certain angle. And I do agree a blush and redder lips would improve the figure.

[@jeromefrady794]

I finally started getting black series stuff this year. So far, the second season bad batch and light cruiser Luke. I'm looking to add more.

[@mikelorenzoart]

Hope to see a play day with Marrok with a dark wash. Turntable at the end is a nice way to end review.

[@TheFwoosh]

Wash is in order for both Marrok and Huyang. And yeah, just trying something new, see how it goes.

[@mikelorenzoart]

@TheFwoosh it's good, covers closing thoughts as we get to see all sides of the figures to decide if we want to add to our collections.

[@KingBrachion92]

Oh no, not a possible running change on Sabine that fixes the only issue I had with the figure. Any other major differences we can use to tell the two apart?

[@TheFwoosh]

Not that I can tell. And I'm not sure if it's a running change, more like a different batch? When I showed my issues in the original review I had a lot of people say their copy wasn't like that. Sure enough, big difference in the helmets.

[@KingBrachion92]

​@@TheFwooshAyy, took a gamble ordering online and got a Sabine with the good helmet! Thanks Robo!

[@philrm99]

Yeah, would try and repaint Huyang silver if I buy him.

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

Probably my biggest issue with Black Series figures is ones with poorly engineered ankle detents. It makes me shudder thinking back to Bib Fortuna.

[@brainlock72]

I really want the Huyang, mostly for David Tennant…even tho he only voices the character. If anything, he could be a decent stand in/update for Kameleon. Marrok, I’ll probably have to see in person, so thank Yoda we have windows again! He does look like he wandered in from another set, but there are hints of standardized Storm Trooper armor in there. Hera, I’m not really seeing MEW, but I already have the Rebels one around…somewhere….

[@master.rancisis.figures]

Love these figures! Great reviews!

[@jamesstewart7213]

[@DJ50068]

Love these figs. If you want new effects for Morgan try the mortal combat spawn figs effects

[@dogwheeze]

Marrok will look a load better with a Vallejo black ink wash. Would tone everything down and make the rust look less vibrant I reckon.

[@JCGold98]

[@wyattthewafflefry3485]

@@TheFwoosh hooray

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

I got Marrok. Not so much as the character as he is supposed to be, but more as a general knightly figure (come on, with that helmet). Maybe even within the Star Wars universe. Guess I will change his paintjob a little, maybe try to attach his knee armour properly (to me it looks a bit sad hanging down like that). And then...put him on a horse. Or a Guarlara (I have a nice, 3d-printable jointed horse which can be easily modded). The cape may look better if you make it even tighter at the neck, but then it needs some kind of closure to be able to still have him with or without it. If his armour is made by Tesla though...he is really screwed. No wonder Marrok was cut so easily.

[@Pizzathehutconsumer]

Hey Robo. Since David Tennant Is Scottish I Like To Think That his "Utility Apron" Is A Utility Kilt.

Hey fwoosh did you review the commander appo from Star Wars black series?

[@TheFwoosh]

I'm not sure I even got Appo.

[@95HH]

Andor was probably my favourite piece of Star Wars media since ESB. But I didn't for a moment consider getting any of the figures from it. You're spot on, Robo, they're just not.... action figure-y characters. The only tempting one was Cassian's disguise to do some customising with, as I do like the Imperial Army look. So I'd say you've more than justified why you didn't pick them up either, it's a totally fair stance! Meanwhile, I didn't get on with Ahsoka as a show at all, but it's hard to argue that Hera looks like a really cool figure. The bomber jacket and rebel flightsuit pants look just really works. Plus, y'know, Twi'leks. I know you're probably buried in Lukes and Vaders at this point, but did the RotJ 40th versions not grab your attention? The new RotJ Luke quickly became probably one of my favourite figures in the line, and the new Vader is about as close to definitive as I think we're likely to get outside of the Japanese imports. I'm also a little bit sad we haven't seen your take on Darth Malak. It's always fun watching you pick apart a Sith figure with no context for the character.

[@TheFwoosh]

I actually have the ROTJ Luke but haven't had a chance to open it yet. Maybe because I haven't got the Vader yet? But I want to. I really want to. Malak is a wait for cheaper price type deal. Or see in person. I've cut back on a lot of pre-orders and even online buying, leaving it to fate.

[@jaypolo_]

@@TheFwooshinsane

[@jacobfoster9185]

He doesn't need slits and probably doesn't use them as his view would be only marginally better than not seeing at all...the force will help but I think it's an absolute certainty that his helmet has augmented vision via some kind of heads-up display. Sometimes we forget that star wars is SCI-fi.

[@TheFwoosh]

Well, that and they are dark slits in the show, but yeah, I guess you could with the Force or a display.

[@FettNerd]

Definitely think they are cutting back more and more on paint apps on the black series. Kinda lacking some finesse in a way. I've gone back to TVC.

[@stuartlittle281]

Hera really should have been more of a main character in the show. She's kinda got the most beef with Thrawn and as a General is a natural counterpart to him. Hopefully that's something they'll explore as the storyline continues.

I understand why collectors wanted windows..especially those who don't open their figures...but it is sad that when a major company tries to do something good WITHOUT being legally forced into it that their customers lose their minds and trash said company at every opportunity. I prefer the windows but it IS sad to be so forcefully reminded of our selfish short sighted disregard for this world and everything in it as well as what our children will be given after we're gone. But the windows ARE way nicer.
