Star Wars Black Series Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary Figure Unboxing

[@Pixel-dan]

Hoth Trooper has a face in his backpack. *faints* Worst part is that as soon as you guys told me, I remembered Hasbro talking about that at Toy Fair. I'm a dope! You guys rock!

[@MinuteMuncher]

Geez Dan, not like you have a lot on your mind these days... #ExtraPixel 👶😘

[@muzikblitz]

And here I thought you knew and were just trolling us. I thought for sure you'd hit us with a "but wait... there's more!" moment.

[@knoom8422]

You still did a awesome job as always

[@n8farver13]

I knew someone would mention it lol. it's an awesome figure.

[@DannyDHidalgo]

Do you think they will ever come out with a Razor Crest from the Mandalorian? Any insight? Thanks @pixeldan !

[@johnnichols122]

Hoth rebel trooper does have the alternate face in the backpack ; )

[@abnuggler]

you can also turn the bandana upside/down to cover his mouth and nose, so there is a bunch of different looks to this figure

[@djaxisravenguard]

So... he's actually zartan?

[@MinuteMuncher]

That's some goooood packaging! That Hoth Rebel soldier is really great... more than meets the eye, one might say... 😉👏

[@joshua2814]

Cool. I have yet to get a Black Series figure, but when they finally do Porkins, it's a day-one purchase.

[@THE_PATMAN_87]

More faces check the troopers backpack pixel dan :) awww love the collector box! Your awesome!

[@carlosorosco5260]

There is an alternate face for the Hoth Trooper in the backpack. Umm yeahhh, also need to talk to you about your TPS reports

[@Jrizzle7426]

Empire probably is my favorite star wars film. You are very correct in your assumption. These are awesome. Great video!

[@BinarySunsetReview]

Always check the backpack :) such a great addition to the Black Series. Love that old Kenner style

[@BinarySunsetReview]

Also R2 is particularly nice

[@BlaineHuffmancom]

In Pixel Dan's defense, he just had his second kid so please forgive him for overlooking the second face hiding in the backpack. He is probably super busy right now and I am surprised he has released so many videos lately. Good job P.Daddy!

[@prophet924]

Wholly crud Hasbro! What the heck?! Those backdrops should have been made available to the fans, not just the reviewers...bad form. Good review. Spot on.

[@teddybearjedi8865]

I keep Hoping Someone Who Got this Set will Scan the Backdrops in Hi-Res for Us to be able to Dowload and Print.

[@Ultrazilla]

How cool is that box?! Jelly, Dan! Every Luke looks fantastic.

[@robk.6591]

These look really good. Especially Bespin Luke and Lando. I would've preferred Lando had a cloth cape and Yoda had a more hunched over look, tho.

[@edwinarzola9676]

Darth Vader is on the cover and a big part of empire strikes back and he’s not included in the box 🤔

[@Rustyjamesman]

right? i was thinking the same thing

[@JCC1004]

He's coming in Wave 3

[@Emolga6274]

He has corona virus so he’s in quarantine

[@shawnmartens9711]

I'm really looking forward to the new Yoda coming with the Degoba Luke.

[@bryc2675]

Yoda looks good but the skin tone should be a lighter green

[@Teletran35]

I did not know that a snow speeder was coming out

[@riseofloganxlogan4230]

You can make yoda hold his cain with two hands just have to fudge it alittle but he can hold it with two hands. Im ganna pass on yoda cause i think he's the same that came out last year, arcive line? I do want besben luke and haun.

[@manofmainstreet1503]

Great job going over these two waves Dan!

[@RetroDeath]

Lando looks legit!

[@danielrecommends]

I'm not huge into the Black Series and I already have a few of these characters so I'm not going to run out to pick these up. Having said that, the Snow Pilot Luke may be worth grabbing if I can find him. Also, as others have stated, there is an alternate face in the back pack of the Hoth Rebel Solider.

[@Hal-kc5bk]

I just want the box for my Vintage Collection figures!

[@w0lverine923]

Already found all but the Tie fighter pilot and Hoth Luke! Great vid!

[@regisalart3937]

Come on Pixel Dan, haven’t you checked the Rebel Trooper’s backpack already?! 😜

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Excellent review Dan.

[@sus30t]

They did it 👏👏👏 they finally fkn did it ! 👏👏👏 great sculpts and amazing details !!!!

[@bastisbuntewelt]

Where can I get this box?

[@DangerDave-e7u]

They fly now.

[@TalkActionFigures]

Still waiting on some of these from Hasbro Pulse, but the ones that have arrived look great!

[@thebigbarczynski5844]

Yay more reissues pass

[@CamFraser25]

the whole line, till wave 3.

[@66_ed_Hawkenson]

That rebel soldier is actually Zartan... #confirmed by Hasbro

[@sammylane21]

I wish they were from the original molds.

[@teddybearjedi8865]

That's why Hasbro released the Retro Collection that look Identical to the Original Vintage Kenner Figures.

[@jwffilms229]

Why did they forget to put Spock 🖖 in with the other figures.

[@vincently1995]

40th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back (1980-2020)

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Dan the snow trooper s face does swap out. The other one is in compartment in the pack. Ooh la la.

[@sammylane21]

If ya have kids, those small R2 parts will go missing asap, haha!!

[@teddybearjedi8865]

Yoda can get in that 2 Handed Pose with His Hands Holding His Cane, Clasped Over each other. Here's the Link to My Instagram Pics of the Archive Version which is Identical to the One in this Set instagram.com/p/B0T54gNgxwM/?igshid=1qoj03eqvv1at And Here's the Link to My 40th Anniversary Black Series Display that I set up for the Anniversary. instagram.com/p/CAeVscDgx4d/?igshid=1rxrmgbacrv88

[@caspar6741]

Great Job Love the video, keep up the great work.

[@LEGENDCITYest1963]

As Dora says ..BACKPACK BACKPACK....

[@darthdurkelthewise320]

They missed the probe droid!! It it actually the coolest 40th Anniversary piece I’ve seen yet!

[@daschyt2225]

Thanks PD - Another top video!!! Can I suggest you check out Jean François' beautiful book he plans to release with enough support... (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKKloHeHqcRrq7M). He has the same love and respect for these pieces of history that you and so many of us do. Keep up the great work!

[@GiantMec]

How much is the box ?

[@teddybearjedi8865]

You Can't Buy it. It was a Promotional Set Only Sent to Review Channels .

[@maxyrobbin]

We want Black Series ewoks!!!

[@teddybearjedi8865]

They already Announced the First Black Series Ewok.

[@thisisrob8750]

8:01 Beautiful

[@Paul_the_Bruh]

Good stuff!

[@PhantomHarlock78]

For the good times.

[@CubanPete1990]

When are you going too do a review of Conan the barbarian Action figure from mezco Toys?

[@MBE.1209]

What!! No Vader ? Come on he was the main guy in this film.

[@prophet924]

Wave three

[@DougUnfunny]

Dan come on bruh. One face for hoth pilot? You not keeping up with da game. I'd double check that backpack bro.

[@iamchloegracemoretzgoodmood]

Nice Video

[@ryangunwitch-black]

10:34 Seriously? Hasbro sent you like $200 worth of free figures and you had no idea about the face-swap option on the Hoth Rebel Trooper? lol lol lol

[@GeneralSantucci1st]

If they didn’t add boba to the set then it’s boring

[@colt5189]

I really wish they'd do these figures in 3.75" scale and have them look the same.

[@mischimischi7183]

Yes, this. I won't start collecting 6" anytime soon, since I've got them already in large amounts on a smaller scale. But since that is what people are buying, I guess 3.75" is pretty much over.

[@xXTheGoldenBoy17Xx]

No Vader?!

[@teddybearjedi8865]

He's coming in Wave 3

[@colt5189]

I really hate how the Hasbro Star Wars figures look like wax figures instead of having that regular action figure look.

[@jonathannichols372]

Is it just me or does Hasbro just seem lazy? Reboxing formerly released figures on a seemingly CONSTANT basis... Hey Hasbro, you hold the license to a pop culture icon. Time to up yourself game or pass the license to a company that delivers.

[@teddybearjedi8865]

These are a Specialty Release to Honor and Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back and Really Give that Nostalgic Feeling for Those of Us Who Had the Original Vintage Kenner figures, in a Newer, Larger, Highly Detailed Figure on that Vintage Style Cardback. These are ,Specifically Made for Collectors Who Want that Vintage Carded Look. They Don't take Away from the Mainline Releases, and New Figures like Snowspeeder Luke and the Hoth Rebel Trooper will actually be Released in the Numbered Red & Black Boxes, So You Don't have to Buy These. Hasbro are Re-Releasing Some Older Hard to get Figures through the Archive Line for Harder to get Older Figures for Newer Collectors who missed out on them previously, and to add Photo-Real Paint Apps to the Older Figures that can benefit from it. For figures that Photo-Real won't help because the Headsculpt was off, that's why they have done Exclusives like the Jabba's Palace Jedi Luke, and Bespin Luke in this wave.

[@DanGrievous]

What an uninspired selection of characters!
