Black series need to give us an AT-AT driver or TIE fighter helmet. I like the Mandalorian style but it would be nice to see a new shape. Good video as always Paul 👍

I could not agree with you more, Ace! Can you imagine the money they would rake in if they did the AT-AT or TIE Pilot helmet?! And I know they can do complex helmets like this well, as we have seen the Darth Vader helmet from them and most recently, the Captain Rex helmet, which was stunning. Let's get it done, Hasbro! haha! And thank you for the compliment on the video as well, Ace. I appreciate that!

This is one that I'm definitely not rushing out to buy. Its fine and a bit of colour is always a nice change in Star Wars collectables, but I don't really care about Axe Wolves. I might buy it if it goes on super clearance. We need Paz Visla and Moff Gideons from season 3.

Absolutely spot on, Colette. I agree with you. The rich blue color of this helmet is cool... but not "rush out and get the helmet at full price and display it" cool, that's for sure. I am like you. I would liked to have seen a helmet from a more prominent character. This one is the very definition of "re-paint for profit." Thanks for always stopping by and checking out what I'm doing around here. I really appreciate it!

Your Thumbnail hooked me and you cracked me up with the “Hit With Rocks” line. If this helmet does pegwarm, might be worth picking up for a custom project.

Thanks, SteveO! haha! As you can probably tell, I just have a loose outline in my head of what I'm going to say, not a polished script. So, sometimes, I accidentally stumble upon something pithy or dry in humor to say. It's rare, but it happens! haha! And yeah, if you are going to pick this one up, I'd try to see if you can get for less tan full price. It's pretty underwhelming in my opinion.

I think that is a VERY safe bet to make, Tom. To date, as you are aware no doubt, we only got that "Ahsoka Clone" repaint. I'd bet good money we get at least two more.

I wouldn't mind picking this one up, but tbh, I don't care too much for the stripe around the top portion of the helmet, but the color is nice and so is the weathering, and scratches, especially around the front of the helmet. Nice review, Paul.. I'll wait to see if this one drops in price before I purchase it, though
@PaulsCollectibles9 ай бұрын
I think that's a fair assessment, Cirespeed. The blue on this one is rich and nice to look at it, and is definitely the defining feature of the helmet. And I, like you, am not really excited about that circle around the crown of the helmet either. Definitely one to wait for a sale to pick up in my opinion. And thank you for the kind words about the review. I hope it helped.

Hey, Simon! Thanks for chiming in on one of these Black Series videos. You make an excellent point. Once you have the Boba Fett, the Mandalorian, and the Bo Katan, you pretty much have all the Black Series Mandalorian helmet molds. The repaints are nice, and I do enjoy the rich colors they are using, but if pressed, I could do without them. As a matter of fact, except for the aforementioned helmets, the rest of my Mandalorian Black Series helmets have been packed away to make room for much more deserving helmets to be in the display case. I appreciate you always, stopping by, sir. Thanks again!

Why the lies though? He did have a name from the beginning and Sackoff said he was away on a mission for her, not that he was dead. Maybe the character isn't likeable to you but many fans were asking for his Black Series and Vintage collection figures for a long time to complete the Night Owls.

Pretty much a hard pass for me. Very little effort put into this by Hasbro and I certainly wouldn't pay full retail at release for it. At the end of the day Axe Woves is just not an iconic enough character for me to want this. The Rex helmet? I was all over it at preorder, but this ......meh!!!! It would be great to see some of the more Iconic helmets made, but that would involve new moulds and investment in tooling wouldn't it Hasbro!!!!!🤔
