Michael looks into the latest Stan Solo figure, the Vintage but *movie accurate* Greedo!

[@GQJedi]

It's great to hear you say all this about the value of these figures from Stan Solo. I cringe every single time someone comes on the channel and "complains" to me about the cost of each figure. Read the room, folks. You pay for quality. And as you have stated, no one does it better than Stan Solo. Period. Kenner would be proud and Hasbro should take notes.

[@Chronically0nline]

GQ!!

[@Toybountyhunt]

Hasbro should really take notes!!! I enjoy both of y’all’s channels also!!! You guys rock!!!

[@GQJedi]

We do what we can. Cheers! @@Toybountyhunt

[@sg7335]

This Greedo figure is beautifully made from top to bottom.I love it! We also finally have a Greedo that holds his gun in the correct hand! Bravo Stan Solo👏

[@literallyunderrated]

I noticed that too Greedo was not left handed

[@The1queencollector]

I hope fans go out and buy Stan Solos figures in their droves to support this company, he has announced he has had enough of making these figures and wants to spend time with his family which is only right. The new removable helmet Darth Vader he has on preorder is going to be epic.

[@retroblasting]

I have seen no indication that Stan Solo is shuttering. You've left this comment on two videos already. Please don't spread this kind of information unless you have concrete proof. Otherwise, it's rumour mongering, and that isn't cool.

[@The1queencollector]

@@retroblasting it's not rumour mongering, it's something he posted on his Stan Solo creations Facebook page, he has put this up as he has a new droid up for pre sale and he has stated that it is not something he wants to do anymore, his fans are gutted but they all fully understand his reasons. I have put the comment up so fans looking to buy his figures should hurry up and do so before they all sell out. I am not one for rumour mongering and I thought that you were a member of that page like GQ Jedi as he promotes Stan Solos figures as well, I have purchased some of the one I wanted before they go.

[@AllBreaksLoose]

Well that's a nice update to a classic figure! I never thought twice about his green jumpsuit as a kid. While I don't collect vintage style star wars figures, I respect the fact that someone is making them for the audience that wants them. And doing amazing at it. And it's nice to see you excited about these figures too! As for the price tag, I think you explained it really well.

[@impossiblepie]

Finally Greedo gets clothes and doesn't have to hang out in his underwear anymore! STAN SOLO IS FANTASTIC!!!!

[@joefleming2053]

That Greedo is STUNNING!! I was so happy when mine arrived. Greedo was one of my absolute favorite figures when I was a kid but never even thought that there should be a resculpt. However, when Chris Smith announced it and showed the first concept mock-ups, I was blown away. I’m so thankful to you, Michael for making me aware of Stan Solo back when your Han Stormtrooper video came out. I’ve been grabbing almost everything he’s produced since then and am kicking myself for passing on the few that I did. Stan Solo is literally the second coming of Kenner and we are beyond fortunate to have his contributions to the community. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again; VIVA STAN SOLO!!!

[@uphilliceskater]

I like that the blaster is angled so you can pose him pointing it at Han on the down low, like in the movie. So clever and demonstrates how much thought went into it.

[@Plokman040]

The fans are doing the best work!! I want a t-shirt with that in the Retroblasting font because it is awesome! Honestly I think it was the kick towards my dream of making toys. I can't understand the subconscious mind, but if I think I have to tip my hat to you and Melinda (forgive me if I spelled her name wrong.) Thank you and Tony for pointing me towards the channel.

[@wfthrock]

Couldn’t agree more, Michael! I just used your link to it on Etsy and made ANOTHER good decision and ordered a Stan Solo creation!! Unbelievable quality and BEAUTIFUL! - William

[@SaturnCanuck]

Great essay on this Michael. I can't wait for more

[@BrynSmith76]

Proud owner of a stan solo figure. The Boba Fett Astromech. Fantastically made. Feels just like a Kenner.

[@theflyingninja1]

Definitely looks very nice. Stan Solo and the guys who made this did a great job.

[@LabRatWarfare]

So awesome, omg!! This Greedo is amazing and a dream come true for some of us, appreciate you RB!! 🙌🐀

[@SkippyVinyls]

I acquired my first Stan Solo figure last week. Naturally, I went for Greedo, such a top quality figure.

[@wfthrock]

I bought Stan Solo’s Greedo. And it is PERFECT!

[@Chronically0nline]

The “Burger King kids meal toy” look many of the Kenner cantina aliens have is pretty funny. Good on our man Chris to right this wrong! Great breakdown as always my friend.

[@lordpicklefartthemighty4231]

Discovered Stan solo just over a year ago and have bought everything he has made since then and have all the pre orders made, and I can’t recommend these toys enough. They are simply amazing.

[@Bill.Connor]

Stan Solo crushed it with Greedo. The eyes are perfect. The gun is in the right hand. The colors are spot on. The sculpt fits right in.

[@aworldmadeofcardboard3692]

As a left handed person, I always noticed that the Greedo figure was left handed, or at least held his gun in his left hand. UNLIKE THE MOVIE! Great video review of a great figure.

[@gunkyzip]

I don't collect figures, but I appreciate your enthusiasm and knowledge.

[@TimboToys]

That Greedo is awesome!

[@darrellwallace4182]

It's absolutely amazing! As usual, Stan solo does it again with a updated, upgraded, but accurate to the original I.P. as well as to the well-known Kenner style figure design. Thanks for this review and again explaining why smaller run production of anything is going to cost more. Great review!

[@toddstoys7065]

This Greedo figure looks amazing! I won't replace my original KENNER Greedo, but I can appreciate beauty when I see it. As for Mon Mothma, Disney canceled my preorder for no reason, so I found her on eBay for $25. She's a great figure. I paid more than she would have been if she had been sold separately, but like you, I didn't need the other 5 figures, so I was happy for $25. The deals are out there, just have to look :)

[@tntsk868]

Stan Solo is by far the best toy maker in the Star Wars collector community. I hope Stan Solo can make more Han Solo in storm trooper outfit figures.

[@dickstevens2763]

I tell you, this guy is so good that he make me wants to collect vintage Star Wars and I haven’t had those in years.

[@mixmix1487]

Stan Solo has mastered mixing simplicity and detail together. Love it.

[@wyldfiregames]

Thanks so much for reviewing this one. It looks so great when you had it sitting next to the OG ones.

[@marcuscafolla7207]

This figure is immaculate as are all Stan Solo figures of which I have many now, you are spot on Micheal, you get what you pay for and this quality is beyond anything else, worth every cent :) great review sir.🙏

[@BlastedBilly]

That Greedo is almost too good!

[@Cwo30]

I’ve been waiting to buy him and this video just made me place my order.ThankYou!

[@stephens4175]

I absolutely love what Stan Solo is doing, Chris loves the Kenner line and it shows with every new introduction , and even though I am on a budget , I will never fault him for his prices, and will get them when I get the small chances to, but I have to say that every time I see new offerings on his site's, I feel like a kid in the late 70's seeing new figures being offered in the catalogues and on card backs. the people that love what they do and their craft as well as what they are creating are the ones that through hard work put out the best quality.

[@christiangomez2100]

I love your channel Mike!

[@JimMilnerTHX138]

Hey, thanks for mentioning me, Michael! Love the videos, definitely going to try and pick one up for myself!

[@Dark.Shingo]

It's just like I'm seeing the toy I always missed as a kid. It's just fantastic.

[@Guernicaman]

Bought this as soon as I saw GQ Jedi review it! Stan Solo hit it out of the park w/this Greedo. Here's hoping he produces more of the Mos Eisley cantina patrons w/this same level of detail - or better!

[@TimHayes]

Excellent video Michael French!

[@carlo2384]

I recently picked up a carded Mon Mothma on eBay for $43 on its own. Pricey, yes, but better than $90+ for second-class copies of figures I already have. The SS Geeedo is beautiful and even better in person. Thank you for these reviews of Stan Solo figures... they are a dream come true.

[@cruzmellon4943]

Absolutely no one should be complaining about the price of these. Support the best work!

[@davidlombardo7150]

another home run!

[@daddydobson200]

YOOOO, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO, I GOT THE LAST ONE HAHAHA

[@phineasbogg9047]

Preaching to the choir, here. Stan Solo is the greatest thing to happen to Star Wars toys since Kenner signed the license.

[@kingpatriot]

Stan Solo rules

[@MichaelJShaffer]

For years, I had the classic Kenner Greedo in an orange vinyl vest I made for him aiming at Han in the Cantina. I was happy to replace him with this Stan Solo version. Beautifully executed and love the bespoke blaster.

[@Cirathos]

Awesome. Looks pretty good.

[@michaelharrington75]

All SS figures are awesome! If I had the money I'd have them all!

[@jonniehotdog]

That is one fine looking figure! Those are important points about the value of the figure. If people want a factory produced, vintage style movie-accurate Greedo, Stan Solo is the only game in town, there are no alternatives. If you like it, buy it, if you think a cheaper version will come along, then sit tight. You may be waiting a long time...

[@jasonotoole1822]

Wow! Stan Solo once again kicks it out of the park! Gotta get one of these!

[@pixelforge4858]

this guy looks great

[@NomahLovesYah]

Yet another great video, thank you!

[@Transfixed]

It's almost as if the fans are doing the best work ;)

[@jeffmcpeek2526]

Yep !

[@megasystem8473]

Killing it with all the videos lately

[@SpookTroop]

HEY MICHEAL, just wanna say happy to see you do more Star Wars content might have to pick this figure up I have just started collecting the Kenner collection and luckily I have some extra figures to add to the list thank you Stan Solo

[@HasseBasseBingBong]

It's funny how many of us as kids didn't think twice about how out of place the cantina aliens looked compared to the rest of the figures. And just compare the original Greedo with any figure released under the ESB, ROTJ or POTF logo, if a complete stranger to Star Wars got hold of him, my bet is that he would say that Greedo is probably not part of the Kenner Star Wars toy line at all. Great vid, as always!

[@Toygains]

Wow. That little green dude is gorgeous.

[@dirtyky9309]

I still have mine with the original blast scar on his shoulder I added when I was 8.

[@BioFactory1]

Let's look at something the comics overlook - There was more than more 'Greedo' in Mos Eisley. There were one or two with Jabba after Greedo was shot. So a movie accurate one does not make the original obsolete either.

[@retroblasting]

And yet, virtually every Rodian wore the same clothes as Greedo conveniently, so.........

[@BioFactory1]

@@retroblasting LoL yeah, but when playing with friends, depending how many kids these days get off their phones and play with toys LoL, Greedo wouldn't get confused with another rodian.

[@literallyunderrated]

If you mean the original comic they didn’t overlook it because the Jabba scene wasn’t in the movie until the special edition years later. But I get what you mean about having more than one Greedo figure. I always thought they should have made the “tall” Jawa, remember him? 😂

[@literallyunderrated]

Jabba looks totally different in the original comic. He’s humanoid with yellow skin and kind of a dog face. And there are no other Greedos around

[@sharkMac]

lol love my Three figures from Stan Solo! Looks great for my Jabba play set! Got Baba, Gweedo, and Jabba girl dancer! Do wish for the dog like creature for Jabba lol! Looking forward to other future releases

[@DoNotUseInternally]

hands down my favorite stan solo figure to date!

[@cobra1518]

I want a B Arthur action figure.

[@monkeybreath21]

As a kid I always wanted the WalrusMan figure shown in the early ads laying on the Cantina floor, he had orange arms and brown pants.

[@georgeaitken2719]

If they made one it should have a removable arm

[@retroblasting]

When were these ads run?

[@TimHayes]

@@retroblasting I think it was in one of those Kenner Star Wars toy catalog booklets that came with some vintage Kenner playsets and vehicles.

[@monkeybreath21]

@retroblasting in the 1977 kenner booklet with an Xwing on the cover, they show prototype play sets, and there on the cantina floor is a more movie accurate Walrusman

[@sharkMac]

I enjoy my figure. I add him to my little Jabba setup. Got few StanLolow figures besides Greedo! Got the dancer, Babafet, few others. Did not get any card version. I like my little Star Wars display set.

[@Linuxpunk81]

I'd love to be able to go back in time and put a few of these Stan solos in a toys r us somewhere to mess with the timeline 😂

[@arctrooper999]

I have enough Mandela Effects going on, please don't add more 😂😂😂

[@shoestringscifi]

The new Greedo looks so good. Thanks for the review.

[@BrappyHour]

2 vids in a week? We’re getting a holiday treat, for sure.

[@ActionPopCast]

Great looking figure and awesome review

[@2Hats74]

I swear, nobody ships quicker than Stan Solo. And Greedo looks fantastic.

[@smokymcpuddles1345]

Love the Stan Solo Greedo! But I was always a fan of the original Kenner Greedo with the pistol-arm perfectly bent at the elbow-so suitable for sitting at a cantina booth and threatening the cocky Han Solo. And his pistol holding hand was AMAZING for its time. Only to be outmatched by Luke Skywalker X-Wing Pilot action figures pistol hand for securing that blaster.

[@streetwithoutjoy]

Stan Solo does it again!

[@mattsimmons4721]

Michael, nice repro RAF BD jacket.

[@badape3620]

If I was into collecting Star Wars figures, I definitely would buy these figures. My concern is Big Brother Disney going after Stan Solo making unauthorized Star Wars merchandise.

[@surrealcereal603]

It’s unfortunate you have to even bother explaining to some people the economics of scale, but I appreciate you taking the time to do it. I see the value and feel Stan Solo is WELL WORTH the price. What, you think you can find these anywhere? Like Wal-Mart? Come on guys. I have a buddy who thinks anything over $10 is a “rip-off” and doesn’t understand the value of a dollar today, compared with the ‘80s, let alone the difference between mass-produced corporate schlock versus small batch, handcrafted artisan wares. I’m so glad we as toy collectors live in a time where companies like Stan Solo can give us what we really want.

[@andrewmclachlan4242]

Solo: "Over My Dead Body!" Greedo: "That's The Idea Solo!" Stan knocks it out of the park again!😁👍

[@scottstalcup6980]

Great production by you and Chris alike. Was sorry to read you were ill on one of the replies yesterday. Hope you're doing better or approaching it.

[@MoparMcNeer]

The SS Greedo was a Must-Have for me. He looks great in my vintage Cantina.

[@PozerAdultRacingTeam]

That's a fine Greedo. I would be honored to have my Solo shoot at it.

[@foginternational]

Looks amazing!!! Would love to see a Stan Solo screen accurate Tie Fighter Pilot.

[@GregorySesma]

Great review. The figure looks sweeet .

[@kennybacchus1488]

Star. Wars. Stan. Solo. Vintage. Move. Accurate. Freedom. Greedo. Figure

[@retroblasting]

Your comment was so inspiring; I'm considering printing it out and framing it on my wall.

[@jeremysebolt3356]

That may be the best Greedo figure ever!

[@robertsinfiniterealms1308]

I believe I’ve said it previously, but I’m a huge admirer of Stan solos work. I love how his figures look like Kenner. But also I have zero desire to collect that style. It’s similar with black series (although I got the main characters from the OT in that scale, I did not otherwise). And since you mentioned Ollie’s I admit I was tempted to get Obi wan and mando in retro then realized I only wanted to because they were cheap and put them back. I feel similar to O-ring joes (Although recall interests me because so many original creators came back). Sorry I am rambling. Point is I love my childhood Star Wars vintage and will never part with them. I love seeing artisans work and talking about what a great job they did. I’ve never bought one but have been tempted. The droids Stan did were a huge temptation. But thank you for shining a light on these. I love seeing them

[@andycabrera8160]

Greedo figure looks authentic like the movie. Cool quality Stan Solo

[@andycabrera8160]

I think of buying this figure looks cool. Never had a Greedo not even back in the 80's when i had Star Wars action figures.

[@snarkychan7504]

I think it'd be good to look at artisan figures and dolls, not just as collectible toys, but also art. agreed that there's not a comparison between OAK or smaller batch toys compared to massive company scale productions. Cool video again

[@Stavekoff]

hot damn that is fantastic

[@JimMilnerTHX138]

Sir, I also found that in relation to what you said regarding Greedos jacket sharing design similarities with the Bespin Han Jacket also ties to how the Rebel Troopers jacket shares many designs similarities with the original Han Solo. Just shows how Stan Solo has been able to make figures so great

[@reading_MOVIES]

Back ok the early half of the 80s I was used to toys not exactly matching what was TV. It was one of the hazards you were prepared for! 😂

[@ComicFiction]

Haven't ordered anything from Stan Solo before, but I'll do it for an accurate custom Greedo. The price is steep, but I recognize what it takes to produce something like this. Thanks for the review and the heads up on its availability.

[@ToinkBauti1]

we all know the vintage kenner line

[@retroblasting]

You just asked me if 1995 POTF2 is considered classic Kenner and now you're claiming everyone knows vintage Kenner..... That's hilarious coming from you.

[@ToinkBauti1]

@@retroblasting no pun intended sir just wanted to get your honest opinion.I was just clarifying that because not to cause confusion to the vintage power of the force line

[@WyldstaarStudios]

I love my SS Greedo. As for the Hasbro Retro line, I have to wonder if they're going to keep making new waves based on Disney+ shows. Those are the ones that wind up on clearance and at discount stores like Ollie's. The latest wave of Retro based on Ahsoka wasn't stocked at Walmart at all, and Target hardly ordered any of them. The Retro figures based on the Original Trilogy sell out quickly.
