If they did, they would probably just do it on hasbro pulse

The customizing community would like a word with you... The only regret to have in life is not enjoying it.

[@leechefski]

No chance of that. Hasbro will just reissue the same old figures with the new photo real paint added. They've had this tech for years and could've/should've used it on the Str Wars 40th Anniversary carded 6" figs, but no. Same old figures in new packaging, mostly, re-released yet again.

Off topic, but am I the only one who wants 6 inch Indiana Jones figures...

[@pruneface6613]

Agreed

[@JCC1004]

Oh hell no! Hoping with the 5th movie they put out a 6" line with mostly classic characters

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

Too bad the 4 inch line failed miserably. TWICE.

[@sixshotmark]

I'd love some Indiana 6" figures but only a few of the main characters. As great as the movies are...a lot of the characters aren't that toyetic for action figures.

[@richardwingo3031]

I love that they made the new Yoda smaller AND more articulated, amazing

[@JCC1004]

Spray the robe with hairspray. It will help hold the fibers together and stop it from fraying to nothing. If you get it a little damp it will also wrinkle naturally when it dries.

I can't wait for this set! The luke looks amazing, same for yoda. All the accessories are expected since it is a deluxe figure, but still, they're all great. The Mark Hamill likeness is great,but the inconsistency between this luke and bespin luke is weird. I love your reviews

Yeah, I have a feeling we'll get a new Bespin Luke at some point. Or maybe even a Figuarts, if they would get their rears in gear.

[@Skywohka]

Today at Walmart I had the opportunity to sort through 5 Luke & Yoda 2 packs and some of the hair lines are really odd like the one you got, but there were a bunch that were great. The difference is glaring. The one I got a week ago at Target a week ago is perfect though, so you may have luck with a re-packaging exchange if you find a good one in the wild. Thanks for the good review!

6:43. The funny thing here is that in ESB there actually was an actor inside a Yoda suit in some scenes. His name was Deep Roy.

[@mobiasjoe2807]

I love how they are getting me back into the old designs. I need to watch the movies again.

[@jersonona7961]

You can fix the hair by heating it with hairdryer, then removing it carefully and slowly. then when the head sculpt is hard again put a generous (but not excessive) amount of superglue while reheating the hair again. it will be easier to put the soft hair in the better position against the hard head sculpt. Did it in my misplaced rebel trooper hair.

[@justfrank3135]

'Lavender is that?' My oh my, funny are you, really! Got this two pack now and I am very satisfied, about Luke and Yoda, my favorite characters from TESB. Thanks Fwoosh, as always, nice and good reviews.

[@theguardian3431]

Great review, Robo! It's settled, double knees are fine. I can live with the single elbows with great range of motion.

[@falcongunner33]

Hasbro seem to be getting so close to greatness with these. The alternate Hamill face with the eyes closed would've set it over the top and made it completely worth the price for me

[@BoyG10]

Yes instead of the blaster and lightsaber which he wasn’t even using them in this attire. A pity.

[@aftermathwhite4955]

Great video, thanks for doing one I have this set but I haven't taken it out the box, I actually doubt if I ever will so it's nice to see you do a video on it.

[@btecbradford5079]

Man I just want a prequel yoda

[@someguy7567]

Also Hasbro seems to like to using this character when they are trying out different arm articulation schemes. They tried something different with the 3.75" version a couple of years ago. Maybe it's because he has bare arms?

[@SPIDERrrrr2002]

I love how yoda is super articulated and looks like a puppet

[@teddybearjedi8865]

Great Review. In My Opinion This Set is a Work of Art. You can take Yoda's Robe off btw. I took mine off last night to clean it up and trim off a lot of the Fraying, and to Switch the way the Robe was closed. Hasbro had it closing from Right to Left, where it Closes Left to Right in the films To get the Robe Off You have to pop His Legs off at the Hip (They Come Off Very Easily) then you can slip the Belt Off and remove the Robe. Unfortunately when I got the Robe Off I realized My Yoda has 2 Left Hands. Another Trick I found while the Robe was Off is that He Can Sit almost Indian Style kinda like He sat in His Jedi Council Chair... which leads Me to believe that We'll be getting a Prequel Yoda sometime Soon. I thought of You when I found He could kick His own little brown butt with those Single Jointed/Swivel Knees. Those Knees also help Him sit down further in the Backpack by posing Him Sitting On His Knees in the Backpack. Another Trick I found regarding Luke is getting Him to Hold the Straps on the Backpack. The Trick is removing His Hands and Placing them on the Straps before putting the Backpack on Him. Once the Backpack is securely mounted on His Back then You pop the Hands into the Arms, and Put Yoda in the Backpack. I actually think I need Another one of these sets, just to have another Yoda to display out of the Backpack with the Eyes Closed. Then I can display Luke doing the Handstand. I was able to get him in that pose pretty easily, but He Toppled Over in a Couple of Minutes. Just like He did in the film when He losses His Concentration. I picked Mine Up at Target, which dropped their initial $44.99 price to $39.99 to match Walmart's price, but I also got an Extra 5% Off for using My Red Card, plus another $0.75 off in Target Circle Rewards bringing it to $37.52 + Tax. Which I'm More than Happy with. Check out the pics on Instagram that I posted this morning. And MTFBWY instagram.com/p/CDl3vtFg55_/?igshid=1th0reytgux2q

[@RandomStuffGarage619]

But you dont get the backpack with the single version :(

[@Ebuka.MP4]

@@RandomStuffGarage619 yeh its a bit of a bummer, but to be fair the archive yoda cant fit in the back pack so it wont be missed too much (at least for me)

[@700Harry007]

Man, those figures look fantastic but I don't know why Hasbro didn't use the torso & ab articulation based on the Jaina Solo figure. That figure has a lot of range. It's always been 1 step forward & 2 steps back with this line & I know they can do so much better - look at the GI Joes figures for God's sake!

[@TheFwoosh]

They probably didn't do the same because of the plainness of Luke's torso. With Jaina and Joes they are wearing baggier shirts or uniforms, easier to hide that extra articulation.

Picked mine up at Walmart the Monday for $40. Great set! I definitely think it's probably a $30-$35 figure, but I'm very happy with mine!

[@AaayJude]

Got very lucky today. Nabbed one for a pretty decent price CAD $30 (Around $24) and I am really surprised at how different it looks. Two of the gripes you mentioned (hairline and the skin tone) seems fixed. So the arms don't feel that cheap and plasticy. I wonder if it's just bad QC or if there was a soft relaunch.

[@Spacemonkey_Mafia]

Big fan of the Dagobah Luke figure. My problem with the Bespin Luke from earlier in the wave is that doing the digital paint job over the pre-existing headsculpt gave Luke a sort of deer-in-headlights look. I know they wanted to scale him appropriately with the Vader figure, but that also led to Bespin Luke having the frame of a high school freshman

[@stevetheman1015]

Lets goo the Fwoosh post its a good day, lets but modest😊

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

I've been eyeing this set for a while, here in the UK I've seen it go from anywhere between £35 and £44 since initial release, but it finally went up on sale this week on Amazon for £28. These days some places are selling single Black Series figures for £22, so I had to order it for that deal.

So this or Beachhead? hmmm. It does look good. Hasbro is definitely going to push deluxe figures from $30 to the $40+ price range. I’m kind of done getting the redo/upgrade for at least a year for Luke, Han, Leia...I want the SDCC heroes of Endor figures. Well three of them. But I’m going to revel in my ESB purchases and celebrate RoTJ in a year or two. Yoda oh yeah done with him after this set.

I'm really looking forward to getting these two. I really don't mind the price to much, I spent around $80 on my figuarts Yoda, so I am happier getting this as a two pack with all the accessories then having to buy a properly scaled Yoda on its own for full price.

[@brunocervantes1297]

I'm really tempted to do a leg swap with the bespin luke. I just hate the knees. They feel cheap and remind me too much of dark age marvel legends

[@teddybearjedi8865]

It's funny, Everyone Raves Over Figuarts because of their "Superior Articulation", but Hasbro does the same with the Black Series and suddenly it's garbage.

[@graefx]

@@teddybearjedi8865 the engineering between the Has knees and figuarts joints are wildly different. If Hasbro did something with that range and clean look, it wouldn't be an issue. But instead it's a barely 90 bend with a giant hinge running down the middle and a flap trying to hide the sins. Get outta here with your false equivalence

I feel like more articulation would have made sense for this Luke since he's in Jedi training. And why not just reuse the Bespin legs? Still seems pretty good though.

[@Sybato]

Did you try putting the Amazon exclusive Chewbacca C3PO in the backpack?

[@brianng3414]

I don't know -I still think the sculpts on the Yoda statues still look better than the Black Series. Or maybe those are from the "idealized" pictures of Yoda we are used to seeing him. But the $40 price tag is a deal breaker. Like the probe droid is bigger; so, they charge $25. Equally, if Yoda is a fraction of the size, it should be charged less to even out. Hasbro keeps doing this because people are willing to pay the premium prices.
