Star Wars Black Series Wave 20 Padme, Mace, Holdo, Battle Droid, Mimban Han, and Dryden Vos Review

[@sns0805]

The antennas on the Battle Droid backpack do extend up.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yup, realized that later, check my Instagram @fwooshrobo

[@juanarasa2298]

Like them all. Still haven't seen Solo or Windu.

[@Brian-mi5kg]

i think everyone can agree that Hasbro has been putting in so much effort! it is so exciting to see!

[@Wortwort-Spooderbat]

Brian 4 unlike with their legends line. Rip shitty six arm Spidey and lazy in accurate underwhelming doppelgänger

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, 2 figures out the 150 Legends is releasing this year doesn't make for a shitty line.

[@DemetedP]

I wish they'd re-do Qui-Gon with the photo real. I wasn't a huge fan of the separate eyes either.

[@44HardCase]

DemetedP I’m wishing for the same thing.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, that experiment was okay at the time but has not held up.

[@edviza1935]

Yeah that’d be cool. I can’t get the figuarts because it’s not on the website I buy my figures on, so that’s my only choice for my episode 1 display.

[@omegashenron8]

@@edviza1935 Qui Gon Figuarts was an exclusive. If you'd want him you would have to pay aftermarket prices and he's pretty damn expensive..

[@edviza1935]

Twistaz yeah that’s why I can’t get him. I have the black series now and am happy for what I got for the price, but on eBay Qui Gon is going for 200+, way more than I’m willing to pay for Qui Gon.

[@Alex_Lynch]

Battle Droids are suppose to be that tall, and you can pull on the antennas on the backpack to extend them

[@josephquinnell6360]

Robo - Want your damn mind blown? Pull up the antennas on the Battle Droid's backpack. Boom!

[@TheFwoosh]

MIND BLOWN!

[@corellioncrusaderproductio4679]

@@flavioaraujo2142 They pulled up... lmao You can extend them, that's it.

[@Taipan108]

Padme’s face looks so much nicer than the one in the promo shot.

[@edviza1935]

Taipan yeah she looks so ugly in the promo shot 😂

[@forrestpenrod2294]

I cannot wait to put a pair of Battledroids to either side of my Bandai Grievous. Come on Hasbro, I don’t want to sound greedy, but now we 100% need Super Battle Droids!

[@TheFwoosh]

Definitely! And Droidekas!

[@Horzzo]

The Holdo legs are what I wanted to see in this video. Laura Dern, rawr!

[@GrungeJeans]

LOL

[@daniels.6322]

Honestly this whole wave is excellent. I'm not a big fan of Holdo's character but Laura Dern is awesome lol, damn you Hasbro

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

The small antenna box that can replace the backpack is a command droid antenna.

[@DavidVasquez-lb9xv]

Damn I can’t even be mad at that holdo figure. The purple giraffe actually came out nice imo. Face is excellent, hair looks really really good, and the dress isn’t tooooo bad. I can get behind it. Maybe a custom cinch in the middle with a belt or something would make it better.

[@reapfield8687]

Im a big fan of these all-in-one-video full wave reviews

[@TheFwoosh]

Honestly, so am I. I get more toys on the shelves faster, haha.

[@JD-Media]

Thank you for letting us vent on Holdo. It needed to be done.

[@joep84]

Hasbro continues to kill it. And I’m digging the fewer waves but new figures policy.

[@Matt_Bryant]

Love the quick 'Smoke On The Water' during the Mace lightsaber bit. Nice! Love your vids - keep up the excellent work!

[@FenrirInFlowers]

That Padme figure looks like she could be turned into a fantastic Jane Foster Valkyrie. Her height compared to my Endgame Thor is going to be cute as heck.

[@1plus0neistwo47]

SHF Mace seems more like a ROTS mace where he looks a little older and slightly more grizzled while TBS Mace looks like Mace in episode 1 where he looks noticeably younger and his face isn’t as wrinkled.

[@44HardCase]

1plus0neistwo Yes, it’s because TBS Mace Windu is supposed to reflect his younger appearance in EP 1 since it’s the 20th year Anniversary of TPM.

[@paolomongon6616]

You know what? You are a delight to listen to. I dig your positive attitude.

[@sXeblues]

Is it me, or does the Figuarts Padme head sculpt look more like Emily VanCamp than Natalie Portman? I mean, the Black Series does get it a bit closer to Portman, while not quite getting it to where I’d like it to be. But, at least it kinda looks like her, and not another actress entirely.

[@GERPITO3000]

Wish we could have a Qui-Gon re-sculpt and paint, I like qui gon a lot but that head scares the shit out of me

[@TheFwoosh]

I hadn't thought about that but you're right, we really need a redo there.

[@GERPITO3000]

edit : I said this because of the new prequel figures and the new paint/sculpt technology

[@Taffer-King]

Kind of glad there's no articulation in the fingers, making the figuarts battle droid hold his blaster is a pain in butt, that's if you don't lose the fingers outright(they pop off really easily). Also, you forgot to actually show of the color change on Dryden's face.

[@TheFwoosh]

That's as red as I could get Dryden's face, I literally had a bag of peas right beside the table, haha.

[@ncw2713]

I like how you patiently describe all the details,keep up the good work:)

[@patrickwentzell4638]

Rey : " I need you to come back with me to the new Rebel base." Luke : " I'm not going." Rey : " they are having a party plenty of green milk and great music." Luke : " I'll be right there." Yoda : " easy enough that was." Obiwan : " the force is strong with this one."

[@xxmustanglifexx2246]

I absolutely love the Padme figure.

[@44HardCase]

Great review. TBS Mace Windu photo real has a much better likeness to a young Samuel L. Jackson than the Figuarts does to me. Someone recently posted in a Star Wars Facebook group, some before and after pics after using some Krylon matte finish spray to tone down the high gloss on TBS Mace Windu face, and it gave it a more Hot Toys look that got me even more excited. So I’ll definitely be doing that when I get mine. I’m also really happy about Hasbro finally releasing the battle droids, Padmé and the Mud trooper and can’t wait to get those.

[@Neitenth]

I was gonna say that the main problem with the BS Mace is shiny eyebrows. Easily fixed.

[@Exar_Kun]

That is a gorgeous Saesee Tinn head you created!!

[@TheFwoosh]

Thanks man, now I need to finally finish the body!

[@mikelorenzoart]

I can't stop messing with the Mimban Han, so fun to have a figure that can change appearance. Padme is a great to add to collection since I didn't want to overpay for SHF

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, so many options, I need more of them.

[@Shakes_The_Clone]

I’m going to try cinching Holdo’s dress in the back with a couple of teeny safety pins. It looks better when I pinch it back with my fingers, so pinning it is my next step... if that looks good I may try hand sewing it tighter. Just a couple stitches. Anything to give it SOME shape! I swear, they’d have been better off doing it like Moloch’s robe than what we ended up with. I’m thrilled with my Figuarts Leia and its plastic dress.

[@TheFwoosh]

Huh, yeah, I didn't even think of that.

[@harrywu7567]

1:35 When you have to use a bar of soap in a public restroom vs when they have a bottle

[@andrewzapata9819]

Honestly I kinda wished they made padme how she looked in her senator look in the clone wars and at the beginning of attack of the clones when she talks to palpatine, windu and yoda at the council

[@RandomLeveledLoot]

No joke, I bought 4 of the battle Droids at $60, so I can make a custom security Droid and commander Droid. Just leave the other two as infintry B1s' 😂

[@ShinigamiCustoms]

That's a hell of a solid wave of figures.

[@TheFwoosh]

Absolutely agree.

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

if you're interested Barnes & Noble just started selling the flame Toys Transformers model kits.

[@TheFwoosh]

Gah, don't tempt me with those. I've decided Optimus is too small for my displays but that Bumblebee may be too cool to pass.

[@JangoTheBlueFox]

@@TheFwoosh they're about the same size as High Grade Gundam model kits. and the size is going to vary from character to character. the upcoming Megatron and Devastator model kits are going to be pretty big. but if you find a Starscream at B&N you should definitely pick one up and review it.

[@richardwingo3031]

Holy hell i need like 50 of that Battle Droid

[@Megatron118x]

Padme looks great! Excited to get that figure, the head looks way way better than the Figuarts version. It’s a shame the hips use the Y joint though :/ I doubt I’ll put her in any crazy pose beyond just standing next to the upcoming vintage Anakin, but still. Companies need to stop using that method for hips, it’s outdated and inefficient. I’d like to get Mace too! Great wave of figures, and good video Robo

[@sergiopalmas8853]

Really want Padme, Mace, Battle Droid and Han (Mimban)

[@MarkyD1967]

Han Mudtrooper is awesome. Dare I say it very WWII German Soldier looking outfit. Will make for a killer army build. Mace likeness though steals the show. Great reviews!

[@easterbrooks7480]

I hadn’t bought a toy in nearly a year then I one of your vids was in my recommended feed. I went out it spend nearly $200. Damn you man

[@DerekDomino71]

When you said 20th Anniversary of the Phantom Menace, my jaw dropped and and I actually said "Holy Sh&t". Has it really been 20 years? Yes it has and it makes me feel even older than I am. Anyway, not bad looking figures.

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, no kidding, I remember grabbing my huge Mountain Dew with a big Maul topper from Taco Bell on my way to stand in line for EPI, then immediately regretting the drink after being in that line for an hour. I even ditched work the next day. 20 years. Gah.

[@Democratic_Republic_of_Iacon]

12:16 you're welcome

[@williamhiers1280]

I think the backpack-less version is the commanding officer variant. OOM-9 didn't have a backpack.

[@Verithiell]

Ha, I didnt evenpay that much attention to Dryden's outfit while watching the movie. I've got to admit it looks mighty slick. All in all, story wise Solo wasnt really all that good, but some of the costumes... Man, It did look good.

[@noahpatch1483]

Mine will be here tomorrow with Grevious on Wednesday! Pumped!!!

[@fujifilm5127]

man. i can't wait to see holdo on the pegs for the next 3 years

[@TheFwoosh]

To go along with Polaris, Range Troopers, and the Fortnite stuff?

[@articulatedtoyden4268]

Yep. Gotta have all these! Hasbro is really doing amazing things these days!

[@toptieradam]

"2 in the front, 1 in the back" giggidy lol

[@thefont9]

Holdo and Gus would make beautiful mountain children.

[@TheTrognation]

I think the BS Mace looks a bit younger than the SHF, but his skin tone might be a bit more accurate. Like you said though, this is very much a "take a seat, young Skywalker Mace" which coincidentally will go nicely with the SHF "taking a seat, I am" Yoda.

[@TheFwoosh]

Now I need to find a council chair for him for when Yoda comes out.

[@crypticalter555]

The head for mace windu is AMAZING

[@someguy7567]

They do the Y joint thing with the Vintage Collection figures too. It isn’t that much of a problem for me (because all of my poses are pretty simple in the leg area) but it is pretty annoying.

[@daltonsanders5826]

Great review robo, and the Battle droids back pack antenna does extend upwards.

[@Sam_T2000]

I'm gonna get the Battle Droid, and maybe Padme and Mace Windu.

[@cybrmaTS]

I'm annoyed they didn't allow you to hilt maces lightsaber, they've done it with every other lightsaber user why not him😂such a shame.

[@Harrison1875]

Definitely gonna have to pick up Holdo and Mimban Han

[@Jander833]

Can you please do a tutorial wetting the robes?

[@cissuperdroid]

Uh-oh, this Battle Droid's going to make me broke with army-building! With the new standard in Black Series, it has more practical articulation (ankles) than my Sideshow figures!

[@jeremywooldridge5537]

Just got mine delivered from Dork Side yesterday. Really impressed with the entire wave. My Padme has a really loose elbow joint which is upsetting but a great fig none the less.

[@kringle1369]

Love this whole wave, love ur review of it. As usual, ur review made me laugh a few times! “Leg bends all the way, he kicks his own ass.” Boom.

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, thanks man.

[@marcosjechevarria4196]

Thank God I bought Padme!

[@thatfunkymonkey7667]

What is it about action figures that makes us like them??

[@TheFwoosh]

The nostalgia of being able to hold representations of our favorite childhood memories, the wonder of newer loves in plastic form, the curiosity of how they work and how they are produced, the magic of nailing that pose for pictures or the shelf. It's a physical manifestation of what we do with those beloved franchises in our own brains, whether it's accurate to the source or our own story. Action figures are joy.

[@dobi287]

Those are the most elegant brass knuckles I've ever seen lol Oops typo I guess I wrote brave knuckles 🙄😅

[@RockerMicke1]

After all these years they finally made a good padmé head since the other where bad to silly

[@gerrysabron]

just too many toys in such a short time..Padme and Mace are long overdue, but ironicaly with the new faceprint it was worth the wait.. like my relief over MarvelLegends, just glad I havent collected much Black Series, giving me the budget and space for these new improved figures.

[@doubleEspressoShartini]

Alden Ehrenreich - 5 foot 9 Woody Harrelson - 5 foot 10 Paul Bettany - 6 foot 3 So I guess the sizes are accurate.

[@TheFwoosh]

Whoa, I didn't even realize Bettany was that tall.

[@doubleEspressoShartini]

@@TheFwoosh I know right, I figured he was a tall lanky man but I didn't think he would be that tall.

[@tannerschannel1809]

I only got the battle droid and Mace Windu months ago. They’re cool.

[@Linkfin]

I hate Holdo as a character but her action figure’s hair sculpt is amazing

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, say what you will, but the head sculpt and paint work is amazing.

[@dobi287]

With all that membin gear fully in use han is looking pretty wolfenstein-ish and I like it

[@l1m0b0at3]

I turned the Cape on padme inside out and pulled it over her face so it can be done just a lil tricky

[@dmitrinajim4663]

Have you tried a headswap for the Solo figures/heads? Would be kind of nice to do so and use a different head under the mudtrooper helmet.

[@theramblinmahoney2316]

Got me a Padme and Battle Droid so far, the only one I don’t care too get is Holdo.... Cause it’s Holdo. Also great review as always Robo!

[@adrianwilliams7790]

I have watched this a few times (came back because I have just got Mimban Han) but I only now heard the music when you mentioned Mace's deep purple light saber. This is why I like your reviews :)

[@markorollo.]

Pre ordered this wave some time ago, along with Zuckuss, still waiting, things go slower in the UK....

[@Starfig]

That Holdo is going to pegwarm so hard... I can only imagine the rage of coming across that figure sitting on the pegs after the rest have sold through. Just sitting there, taunting you for missing out.

[@TheFwoosh]

Except it won't be any different than any other line. You need some of the older Marvel Legends or TMNT? How about a Range Trooper? Why the rage here and not there?

[@Starfig]

@@TheFwoosh Oh the rage is there on those too, and I would throw Young Solo and Lando onto that grill as well. Retail needs a nationwide flush. I just see Holdo as a continuation of that very problem. Moreso in that the wave seems to be a solid one as far as character choice/army building is concerned...and then you have Holdo. She's the sore thumb.

[@TheFwoosh]

Ah, so it's more a dislike for the character itself, because pegwarmers have been a thing since I was a kid in the late 70s. There's just some figures that don't sell. Plus, this wave has barely hit retail and I haven't seen ANY of them sitting at Target so far.

[@Starfig]

@@TheFwoosh How I feel about the character aside, I don't think it's unfair to say there's a good list of characters that would suit that spot better. Heck, even if you stuck with it being a Sequel/Disney era slot. But yes, if she does end up pegwarming she'll be in good company.

[@cinnamonbun1379]

I really like the use of the wider legs on Holdo, as women typically have wider hips than men. I know it limits articulation, but how many action poses are people actually going to put her in? For display, she's a neutral pose type character, and for play, I imagine she'd just spend a lot of time in the Resistance base.

Nice review as always, Robo. I have to disagree with you on one thing though, I think the SH Figuarts Padme looks more accurate face sculpt-wise still.
