Star Wars Black Series Range Trooper Solo Hasbro Gus

Not as excited about the Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Range Trooper now that I have it out of the package, but it still bolsters the troop ranks nicely. But even better, I have my Gus. Woo!

[@joelcentille1253]

I love how the notification just said "Gus".

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, some wires are getting crossed on KZbin's end from upload to publish. I need faster internet...

[@unlimitedpower3157]

I'm so happy my local Wal-Mart screwed up. I went there and found the whole series for 5 bucks a piece! They were trying to get rid of some Finn figures they had left and changed the price for the whole line. Got 7 figures for less than 40 bucks. Sorry if this sounds like bragging. I just wanted to share this crazy story. Truthfully, I think I'm dreaming and haven't woken up yet.

[@supa4ys843]

Wack wave tho

[@adamstafford3852]

I am 1000% here for Gus. Totally sold me on the story you made up and he has officially been added to my headcanon.

[@ladyfreeze21]

Yes!

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, yeah, I'm afraid I've built this up so much in my head that I won't be able to accept whatever ends up on screen.

[@Transfixed]

I think Gus should partner up with Constable Zuvio and get into frontier adventures every Saturday morning

[@TheFwoosh]

Oh man, now there's a buddy cop comedy just waiting to happen!

[@VictoriasCantina]

I wonder if the lenses are gold since ski googles are usually colored similar. Maybe he is a ski guy!

[@dbear5080]

Victoria's Cantina maybe that's what the boots are for!

[@TheFwoosh]

I can totally get behind that.

[@theguardian3431]

They need to make Gus an actual SW character.

[@TheFwoosh]

I won't be able to see it any different now, haha.

[@RaulMarin-vg3bu]

This trooper looks so damn badass, I can't explain how much I love this design, when I first saw it I thought "What in the actual hell is this" but now I love it!

[@CeroneGamesGo]

Been waiting for this review! Main man "Gus" bout to rassle up some beans and tauntaun meat. LOL! Great Video

[@Jamesotronart]

Would totally watch a Gus and his Wampa friend movie.

[@River313]

looks exactly like the boots from super Mario brothers movie with Dennis hopper as bowser

[@TheIyah1]

Ah the intro is perfection with the music! Had me crying. Ill always remember you Gus...

[@TheFwoosh]

Oh, that won't be that last time we'll see Gus, haha.

[@ProfNight]

OK, I love Gus and snowball Pete.

[@furybeardco.5806]

I love the idea of this guy trooping through the snow fantasizing about Tawny Kitaen and the days that used to be.

[@Thebadbatchcrew]

Thumbs up for that intro alone.

[@wIzKid16100]

Good ol' Gus

[@tyreewilson2140]

Ben Kenobi Hey Ben, did you know Gus personally? Not being coy, but would love to hear old war stories about Gus lol.

[@wIzKid16100]

tyree wilson 😂 no, not personally, but I did hear his legends at the cantina

[@richardgoold3306]

One thing you can do is weather the boot with a little silver as if the grey paint has been clipped in spots but don't over do it. That's what I'm going to do.

[@thevalleyard3942]

Behold Gus is born

[@brettcruise296]

Excellence pure theater. GUS is just funny. Thank you Robo you are the best in the business.

[@XXTROB]

I definitely think Gus makes this figure, he's gruff and tuff but he's got a heart of gold....I feel like he's a moonshiner? Without Gus this guy looks like some kind of super fly, pimp trooper

[@XXTROB]

The Fwoosh 😂👌

[@bjpalm1994]

Gus!!!!!!!!! Lol, Great review! The Ego head works well for him, plus you have 2 different expressions. He goes great with the TaunTaun & Wampa. Looking forward to more stories of Gus & Snowball Pete! lol

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, yeah, I may have to make it a series. Or at least have him cameo in other Star Wars reviews.

[@evildrporkchop4628]

I actually have mine posed with the dlt-19 heavy blaster that came with my revoltech stormtrooper.

[@frankrodriguez2999]

Yes! A little White Snake makes everything better. 🎙🎸🎶😊

[@gwaunch1967]

What’s the name of the song he used?

[@frankrodriguez2999]

@@gwaunch1967 "Here I go again " is the name of the song

[@frankrodriguez2999]

@@gwaunch1967 sorry I thought you meant what he sang if you're talking about the guitar music playing while he talking at beginning I'm not sure.

[@gwaunch1967]

@@frankrodriguez2999 I actually was referring to the song at the beginning, but I do love me some Whitesnake too, so I don’t mind! And I found out the name of the intro song, it’s “Jesús” by Commodore Herky J. Smurkturkski III (feat. Top Wing and Hector Alejandro). Quite a mouthful, I know. I didn’t know Robo had such a good taste in music!

[@jasonindoe7540]

Holy, I'm howling off that first part!! Great job!

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, thanks man!

[@AntonymicallyCorrect]

Gus needs to have a custom ROBO headsculpt. Somebody get on it.

#CastRoboAsGusInSolo

[@pointblank8541]

Gus and his pals look pretty cool in the new trailer

[@Sh4rkm1c]

A legend was born this day

[@graefx]

I'm enjoying them releasing figures without any idea of who they are. Reminds me of being a kid and just making up a backstory and playing around. K2SO was kinda the same for me. But I think my Range Trooper will probably be Gus now.

[@TheFwoosh]

I'm to the point where I absolutely can't see him as anything else now, heh.

[@jakethecollector1516]

Forward mounted scope is for scout style set up. Further eye relief to keep both eyes open while aiming. Y'know, so Gus can keep his wits about him in the mountains :P

[@trtledave3079]

You fluffed Gus quite nicely, maybe there's a future for you in that line of work.

[@TheFwoosh]

Future? Who says I don't already have experience?

[@GrendelPrime9637]

I'm so invested in the continuing saga of Gus

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

When I first saw this I really wasn't liking it that much but really its a great figure and now I want to army build, I love it that much. Yeaah baby.

[@georgelucas9222]

Im just waiting here for a Black Series Jar Jar

[@adamstafford3852]

YOU AND ME BOTH GEORGE!

[@darthliquid7788]

I’d buy a Gungan 3-pack along with an Ewok one as well.

[@kodypeters5377]

Me too!

[@Minus5Stars]

He’s the key to all of this

[@TheFwoosh]

I'm right there with you!

[@frozengeese9291]

Gus is basically the *Big Time Let Down Spider-man*

[@TheTrognation]

Those boots just make me think of the Heir To The Empire Spacetrooper Exosuits; come on Dave Filoni, make my day

[@ArtIsMySin19]

Comin’ from the quickie, “Hey dumb-ass theyr’e magnet boots.” Alright I’ve done my part now lol

[@theepoopydoodoo]

The origins of Gus.

[@GeonBell]

Gus and Snowball Pete are now canon

[@travissall]

I have been waiting to see this review since we were first introduced to Gus! The Kurt Russell/Ego head is brilliant lol great review man!!

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, yeah, it kind of threw me when I finally realized I had that in the box. It needs some tweaks but it'll definitely work for now.

[@travissall]

The Fwoosh add an eye patch, old cartoon style miner hat with the brim pinned up and you could probably call it done lol the look is there!

[@beverleybrownlie5148]

And so a legend was born

[@DWE2023]

Woah how does your voice sound so different just two years ago? 😂 and yes I was up at 5 in the morning feeling nostalgic for the birth of gus after seeing the holiday themed version of this armor. 😅😅

[@steveboulet1805]

Boots are made for make a magnetism and stick on a cargo to defend him for exemple

[@Created_By_Crescent]

Lol he said "now I said the bulkiness came with a price and that is in the articulation department mostly the RANGE." Get it cus it's a RANGE TROOPER 😂😂 I hate my life

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, don't worry, I didn't even catch it until people pointed it out. I wish I had planned it. Nope.

[@bhodie131]

The perfect "Gus" head!!!!

[@TheFwoosh]

It's not what I was picturing but when I saw I had to do it. May have to do some tweaks.

[@Mannie_Bothans]

The cousin story and the end made me spit my coffee 🤣

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, I was afraid it went to far but I have a ways to go still. I just pull from actual stories I've heard in my part of the world..

[@w4kii]

not really bothered by the lack of ankle articulation because the actual trooper probably wouldn’t be able to do it either, just wish they could’ve given us some toe movement instead

[@boycebutler7586]

w4ki I agree

[@themadlion7634]

Reminds me of the Snow Serpents from the GI Joe Series from the 1980s. LOL!!

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, I'll be damned, you're right!

[@sergioeboli4799]

Tudo bom, Fwoosh? Seus vídeos são os melhores!! Você mostra os lançamentos em todos os detalhes! Parabéns! Esse Range trooper é fantástico! Não aparece nenhuma articulação! Eu não gosto muito das outras figuras que tem aqueles pinos na lateral do joelho! A hasbro tinha que tirar esse defeito!!! Um grande abraço, Fwoosh! Estou querendo ver agora o stormtrooper Mimban!

[@TheFigureDoctor]

I have been waiting for this review of Gus!!!!!!

[@ADDOITALLDAY]

Awesome review Robo.

[@SSGSSTheo]

the day a legend was born

[@44HardCase]

Great review robo, and though I like and want this figure, after seeing that new MudTrooper that’s going to be in Solo Movie from Denny’s exclusive trading card, I’m more excited and hoping for that in the BS 6 inch scale.

[@TheFwoosh]

Oh man, I saw that MudTrooper too and he has that same pieced together look, may have to find a head for it too!

[@Jackmarmar]

Great review! I’m not sure about this figure but I may buy him just because of Gus. That’s a character I want for my shelf for sure

[@NiteOWL82]

When i saw "gus" riding the tauntaun ( never had to spell it before.sorry if its wrong). Just heard in my head willie nelsons on the road again. Hahahahha. Well im loopy. Its 337am lol. All the best.

[@TheFwoosh]

Loopy? There is absolutely nothing wrong with that playing in your head while Gus rides over the countryside, haha!

[@SwimmingBerd]

Yes. Just yes. Good ole Gus.

[@abnuggler]

Gus, yaaaas!!!, I definetely think you need to start a campaing for Disney to officialy nickname this character as "Gus".

[@_Vegtio_72322]

This figure actually looks pretty well done

[@TheFwoosh]

Oh, it is. The actual movie design is what threw some curveballs in here, just so much you can do to replicate that.

[@g-mandacomicfan350]

And thus... history was made.

[@NitroCigarette]

10/10 intro

[@jasoncowley4718]

Please excuse me, I'm busy fluffing my trooper.

[@gerrysabron]

best trooper made yet.

[@Horzzo]

I just got this guy myself. He sure is an interesting figure. yeah I can't really tell what he does. I'm going to say he jumps real high.

[@strikecaptain121]

By the time this was commented a Solo Movie Trailer came out, I believe they are Magnetic Boots because in the trailer their easily traversing across a moving Star Wars version of a train.

[@tonybrooks476]

Really happy with how the new face print technology is used here. It makes such a huge difference on a $20 figure.

[@HUNTERSDREAM]

Try giving the Range Trooper a homemade white cloth cape to make him ten times cooler, you can use a white twine as the strap of the cape and then tie it under the fur.

[@DamaramuHQ]

LMAO, those pics of Gus and the Wampa....

[@TheFwoosh]

Snowball Pete is Gus' best bud, haha!

[@apacheslim93]

hey im digging the old gus look! reminds me of Jeremiah Johnson!

[@TheFwoosh]

That and Grizzly Adams is what has been stuck in my head since I started talking about Gus!

[@legomattanddino]

This guy will probably be like the snowtrooper version of a scout trooper. Scouts at shit and reports to the normal stormtroopers.

[@kiego797]

I believe the legs/ boot things are Magnets for terrain hence the range trooper name

[@GlassesnMouthplates]

Hopefully this guy/these guys will have more screentime in Solo at least 10x more than the Executioner Trooper in Last Jedi. Also, I want Gus to narrate the whole Star Wars lore for me to listen to.

[@TheFwoosh]

I think I could make that happen!

[@scottreacher]

The boots are magnetized.

[@timothyvarner6981]

Gus Gus!

[@hillbillyharper4008]

Long live Gus

[@Commander_Shepard.]

They're *M A G N E T B O O O O O O T S*

[@River313]

egos head sculpt looks great on your Gus

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I hadn't considered it but was digging in the box and it just popped out at me. I may need to do some more tweaking but I like it.

[@shawnhenryhobbyman3965]

I think he would make a perfect mountain man

[@brady7676]

I love how when i bought this figure it was just 14$ in Target.

[@Big_Papa_John]

"It's over, train! I have the magnet boots!" -Obi-Wan

[@AJVfilms]

This figure looks great! I agree with you on the army building aspect. I think it would seem odd having more than one of these in a set up to me but maybe with some Snow Troopers and it'd look pretty cool in the snow. Also I like not knowing whats in store for Han Solo since it makes it more interesting that way imo.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I used to be super "Gotta know everything before the movie!" around Episode 1 and it kind of killed it for me. Now I try to avoid as much as I can. MAkes it way more fun.

[@someguy7567]

When I get the 3.75” version I’m going to call it Gus Junior

[@TheFwoosh]

That's actually brilliant, haha.

[@thetoythief8940]

I probably watched that intro more times then the video

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, I probably spent more time on the intro than the video...

[@dobi287]

Comes with a cool pimp collar, 'd give to bane lol "yeeesssh. This is a nice colla ...it demonstrates the opulence that for too long..." ok idk what banes talking about

[@KevinRaceOfficial]

GUS!!

[@DataSlam]

nice but he could use a few more elbows.

[@TheFwoosh]

Agreed!

[@chocmans7521]

9:06 now i think i love you man

[@jamesnoonan2009]

the ranger trooper's boots are magnetic, there is a scene in solo where han, chewie and brackett and his crew are pulling off a heist on a imperial train and the ranger troopers come out to stop them

[@TheFwoosh]

Yup, this review is from before Solo came out.

[@ayum2142]

it would really make a lot of sense to have this trooper called mountain trooper or snowtrooper than range trooper considering its appearance

[@-WandererNotLost-]

I will wager that the front and back parts of the boot that lie against the shin and the calf muscle snaps down to increase the surface area of the foot and provide the benefit of a snow shoe.

[@legogojira7521]

I'm super happy that you finally found a head for Gus. I'd love to see him fully realized in the future. Missing an eye, all beat up and dirty. Maybe a bag full of supplies. Or perhaps a spear! Ooh, there's an idea! There's so many directions you could take this mountaineer in. I look forward to his potential future appearances! There's also been some recent Square Enix figure news. The Bring arts Kaine (Pronounced Kai - Nay) figure has gone up for preorder: www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-038368&rank= She's from the same game series as 2B, although the game she's in takes place thousands of years before Nier Automata. Wasn't sure if you knew this already, but I thought I'd to give you a heads up juuust in case. Anyways, I look forward to future videos!

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, yup, that's the plan, Eye, recede the hair, dirty him up. And I've already got that Kaine ready for the Weekly tomorrow. 2B needs to come out so I can figure out if I want all of them or not!

[@lonewanderer9485]

Oh, wait, is that Leo? Or just another Hoth carpet reference? P.S. How to create new trooper: 1) Create foot armor for more movement in snow 2) Recreate two helmets of stormtroopers 3) Create cold-gold visor 4) Hold up, snowie and commander, I need your clothes 5) ??? 6) Job well done Hey, new bikers, where are you? About weapon: I think it's just E-11 but without scope and with laser sight?

[@NiteOWL82]

Robo you sir are a nutball!!. My favorite reviewer. Always fun. Even on repeated viewings. Love it. Now how can i get a robo or fwoosh shirt?. Also i watched the vader review. Why not make a ultimate vader review?

[@TheFwoosh]

shop.spreadshirt.com/thefwoosh/ And yeah, I'm thinking of Frankensteining a Vader together, have a final battle royale, see what happens.

[@NiteOWL82]

The Fwoosh can i get a shoutout on the video?. Thanks. Gonna order a shirt next payday!!

[@willischalepah9488]

got one of these for my nephew at Walmart.

[@CapitolPrime]

YES - finally - GUSSSS!!!

[@wraith1701]

Gotta find myself a Starlord & Ego pack...

[@TheFwoosh]

I'm just happy that I finally get to use that extra Ego head!

[@TheDapperLad]

His blaster reminds me of a mix of the classic stormtrooper E-11 blaster rifle and a standard clone trooper DC-15S blaster rifle. Considering the time period and the bio on the back of the box, perhaps his blaster is the middle iteration of that blaster?

[@rolandrage]

We need Good old Gus adventure time Videos from Robo now.

[@TheFwoosh]

Oh, he's going to have cameos where appropriate, haha.

[@evildrporkchop4628]

Get in the way of the RANGE i get it XD

[@mkhud50n]

I’m guessing the boots help these guys hover over the snow so they don’t sink into it.

[@sgrshnshw]

HE'S HERE!!!

[@anthonymelgar9]

Gus is like your big time let down spider man

[@TheFwoosh]

I didn't go into it with that in mind, but yeah, he's definitely evolved into something similar, heh.

[@trtledave3079]

The boots are gravity boots to help him jump because White Gus can't jump just like the movie title says

[@TheFwoosh]

You sly dog you...
