Star Wars The Black Series 4-LOM Review

Star Wars The Black Series 4-LOM Review
I know following up a video about not doing many videos in the coming months seems a bit hypocritical, but I had an opportunity and some free time so here it is! My review of 4-LOM. One of the 6 bounty hunters featured briefly in Empire Strikes Back!

Great Figure Mike! You talked about natural posing and then showed C-3P0 in some sort of martial arts stance...Priceless!!!

[@MikeKaess]

It just seemed like the normal thing to do.

[@fullhit08]

That is a great idea for a video MK. Watching you disassemble your wall and then setting it back up would be fascinating. “Do it now! C’mon! What are you waiting for? I’m here!” There I go. Paraphrasing Arnie again. “Get to the choppa!”

[@MikeKaess]

Yeah I’m thinking about how to do it now!

[@tylergates772]

I love this figure. One of the best looking black series figures of all time

[@MikeKaess]

Agreed!

[@erikward5363]

Great review, Mike. You’re technical assessment is your strength. Btw, awesome shirt!

[@erikward5363]

I meant your not you’re. Damn auto correct.

[@erikward5363]

Btw congrats on your wedding!

[@MikeKaess]

Thanks! That means a lot!

[@mddroog]

i got this a couple of weeks ago from Target I think. I saw him and didn't even think about it.

[@MikeKaess]

Easy buy!

[@salamwati9281]

Yeah ..i just picked this up today along with the Range Trooper and Qira..the retail guy who keeps this for me makes me have to buy at least 3 from the assortment...otherwise you almost can't find it on the shelves here..entertaining as always and had me smiling on two ocassions.

[@MikeKaess]

Worth it, this is a super good figure. Glad you snagged it and the Range Trooper at least. Qi’ra is ok.

[@raykenobi4968]

Awesome figure, cant wait to add him to my collection

[@MikeKaess]

He’s worth every penny!

[@ADDOITALLDAY]

Awesome review Mike. Picked mine up on the Hasbro site last week it was up for about an hour before quickly selling out again.

[@MikeKaess]

Awesome! Yeah that’s how I got Tarkin and Qi’ra. I used a coupon code too, which was super nice. Great pick up!

[@ilyaastariq889]

Yes Sir I've got the whole BOUNTY HUNTERS WAVE .... even JANGO FETT and now I'm waiting for Cad Bane, and Arraoh Sing ...

[@MikeKaess]

i hope we get them soon!

[@kjacobs99]

I really want an Aurra Sing

[@hamandjam9322]

Another great review mike...if an awsome iconic fig!...the onky bad part of this fig was when I realized now ill have to buy yet another c3po when they redo his articulation lol....have a great night

[@MikeKaess]

Haha I was thinking the same thing. And I’ll do it too. Because I’m a sucker!

[@shawnhull9988]

Another great review

[@MikeKaess]

thanks!

[@rocopandolfo]

I found 4-LOM at GameStop and Amazon on the same day, June 1st. I ended up getting it from Amazon because it was cheaper. Amazon is giving brick-and-mortar retailers a real competition for my hard-earned dollars.

[@MikeKaess]

Haha, well cheaper is cheaper! No one can fault you for that!

[@rocopandolfo]

Mike Kaess when I say cheaper I mean regular price. If I can save a few bucks here and there, the more figures I can get. And this overall helps the industry and addiction.

[@jonathanhampshire6856]

I just got one off Ebay a few days ago. Having it for a few days I just realised that mine appears to have an upper right arm on the left. With the detail on the inside. Bummer! Incredible looking figure though.

[@MikeKaess]

That is a bummer!

[@villesanti1]

4-LOM = 4 Love Of Money.

[@MikeKaess]

Yeah! I even mentioned it, but cut it to shorten up the opening name comments. I figured I could rely on someone like you in the comments :)

[@ilyaastariq889]

Yeah..... Mike, and Nelson,.... we've gotta stop forgetting about Greedo.. although he died by Han Solo in a NEW HOPE..

[@Barada73]

Zuckuss looks really good! I can't wait until Hasbro makes 4-LOM in this line. ;) Also, it's "four lom" not "four el oh em". As I've mentioned before, we have an inconsistent way of pronouncing acronyms in the real world, so there is no reason to believe that same inconsistency wouldn't also exist in Star Wars.

[@MikeKaess]

The inconsistencies make it fun!

[@fullhit08]

“Did you know your last name is an adverb?” My favorite line from Johnny Dangerously.

[@MikeKaess]

They said the perfect quote didn’t exist.

[@darthridiculous1538]

Grabbed mine at Game Stop about 3 weeks ago. I was going to pass as I don't have any of the bounty hunters and did really care about a character that was standing on screen for a hot minute. But then I saw it and it had to be mine! Best of the year so far.

[@MikeKaess]

Yeah, the work and detail Hasbro put into this figure is just amazing. It’s a tiny work of art.

[@ageis]

I need this figure! Great review. And I have a different view on scalpers. I work too much to frequent several locations to check for new figures. Paying a $5-$10 premium is worth it to me. It saves me time and I get the figures I want. Anything over $10 retail though I feel is just greedy.

[@MikeKaess]

I see that. But the way I see it is that it would be easier to find in stores if scalpers didn’t buy all the available figures from the store. They drive you to pay higher prices by creating a shortage by buying up available product.

[@ageis]

Ahhhh I see your point. You're a wise one, Mike Kaess. I stand corrected :)

[@MikeKaess]

Hey you gotta do what you gotta do. I’ve bought two figures for slightly more than retail for the same reason you gave. But I would rather it not be an issue in the first place.

[@admiralsnaccbar624]

Yo! You got *Zuckuss* ! Nice! I have *Zuckuss* coming from Ebay! It's the same figure in the review so that's cool

4 - LOM = left over material ?? Why would a protocol droid have such a Freaky head? Did he change his own head?? So many questions. Great review mike.

[@MikeKaess]

I have no idea! Asking the important questions!

[@robdcollector2808]

Joe Blows ....my guess is that they did a quick costume thing at the last moment and had to change the head so it didnt look like c3po. Its a shame though...i would have preffered and Evil C3P0 bounty hunter character!

[@imperialamg-mobile1473]

Congrats on your wedding! All the best to you guys. Great vid.

[@MikeKaess]

thank you!

I got mine at Gamestop. Have him right next to my Boba but he's pretty lonely without a Zuckuss

He would be!

Did you get a Zuckuss yet?

@@micahwright5901 Lmao yes 😂. I've complete my bounty hunter display since then

[@LAbirdmanJD]

I know im two years late but just got this figure all i need now is ig 88. Love this figre the eyes are the coolest and surprisingly great articulation. Great review do you have all the bounty hunters?

[@MikeKaess]

i had the weirdest dream that 4-LOM was the only figure I could find in stores because of this comment. Weird, right? I have all the bounty hunters!

[@LAbirdmanJD]

Mike Kaess lol you’re welcome! Which bounty hunter is your favorite?

[@MikeKaess]

Bossk, probably. But Dengar is my favorite of the Black Series figures of them.

[@TheLanimation]

This is a great review! I've been following your reviews for a while and finally subscribed. Your enthusiasm and optimism really add to a unique channel. I like having multiple reviewers I enjoy in order to decide if I want a figure. If you shine a light through his eyes it makes his whole head kinda glow, it looks really cool, in the other reviews I've seen. I dunno what the intended way to pronounce 4-LOM is, but my guess is he goes by Lom, not L-O-M. I think this because he's an independent droid, given his career. Maybe also cuz he partners with Zuckuss who seems to value LOM as a being rather than a droid servant.

[@MikeKaess]

thanks for the comment! I love reading things like this. I tend to go with LOM instead of L O M because thats just how i always pronounced it in my head growing up and reading the books.

[@prophet924]

Hope the move goes well. I will miss your video’s regularity (?) but treasure the ones you release. bring on Jar Jar Binks Hasbro!

[@MikeKaess]

Oh God I hope we get a Jar Jar.

Seems like a cool enough figure. Very cool review and thanks for taking the time. Congrats on your wedding and move and I wish you all the best always!

[@MikeKaess]

Thanks for watching and commenting as always, Q!

[@Musicmaneuvers]

You always have the best reiwews on star wars black series figures just got my 4.lom figure less than a week ago. great video as always mike👍

[@MikeKaess]

thank you so much! glad you could find him!

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

I want gripping hands. Because I want to put him against my shield agents.

[@MikeKaess]

I want the option of doing both!

[@michaeldean3260]

I really like my 4lom too. There was an actor in the suit. I met him around 2006 in Tokyo. He was very thin like Anthony Daniels.

[@MikeKaess]

Haha I was only kind of kidding, but that’s an interesting anecdote!

[@blankwavemessiah]

you, fwoosh and toy galaxy are my favorites.... much like Dan, I also found my 4lom at a walmart. he was in FRONT of all the hans and landos. also fond two gam guards at my target. I bought only one, but now I wish I woulda' got both, but I wanted someone else to be excited too.. Now I'm just waiting on finding my two (only two) mimbans. I also gave the "collector's bug" to my girlfriend who always looks for me when shes out and about. I always wait for your videos to come on while I'm at work and before bed. I WAS WONDERING: if you could match me on my 3rd party emperor palatine upgrade, and review it? I bought the cloth upgrade set on ebay, as well as the 3D printed throne. It turned my palp from "that weird old man with a skirt and tiny cane," to the TRUE emperor of the galactic empire. I also flanked him with two royal guards, and a 40th anniversary Vader WITH a custom LED lightsaber that I made. If all of that 3rd party palpatine stuff is too much, I would also be willing to send you one of my sabers for free, if you were interested.

[@blankwavemessiah]

i was hoping for a super cool answer!

[@MikeKaess]

wow. Getting put in a category with Fwoosh and Toy Galaxy is crazy. I love both those channels too. glad you got the 4-LOM, i still haven't seen one in store. as far as the palatine, it sounds great but i have a rule where i don't customize my figs. no matter how much better it would make it. if you pay to ship it to me, i'll review it, and pay to ship it back to you. i would LOVE to review a custom lightsaber for sure. I would be willing to do all the proper stuff like linking to any store site and what not. send me an email, its in my info.

[@blankwavemessiah]

hahaha COOL! My palp is gonna stay on my shelf, but I will send you a saber, a few photos, and a video link! Thanks mike, you're the shit!

[@Do0msday]

This is easily one of my favorite figures of the year. I sadly missed out on my favorite (Bossk) and there was no way I'd miss out on others. Articulation isn't the most important thing for me. As long as I can get a decent pose then I'm good. Sculpt and paint application is my jam...and this figure is nearly perfect when it comes to that. The dirty/rust look gives it so much detail. I'd like more accessories, but there weren't really more that I can think of. It's sort of like with Thrawn. Other than a blaster there isn't much you could add. Anyway, as of now I'm thinking my 2 favorites are Captain Rex and 4LOM. They just look so freaking cool...

[@MikeKaess]

Articulation isnt super important. But it’s something I feel important to point out. Especially if it’s different in a significant way from other figures. The rust look on this blows me away every time I look at it!

[@robdcollector2808]

Do0msday ....go for the Gamorrean guard figure...its bad ass perfect!!!!

[@jayblack1257]

His original name was 4-SKIN. They had to change it for obvious reasons. (Comment of the year. Thank you)

[@MikeKaess]

This is it. No comment will ever be better. Bittersweet.

[@robdcollector2808]

Jay Black ...hahaha ...that was a good one!

[@metakirito6354]

Is it 4-LOM orrr 4-L(zero)M Instead of the letter O wat of it was originally the number 0...

Ugh. Too many variables!

[@jakemcleavy4992]

Just got the general veers yesterday. Might get this one, not that keen

[@MikeKaess]

Where did you get Veers from?

[@jakemcleavy4992]

Mike Kaess Got it from an online store called "in demand toys" here in the UK. Also pre ordered piett, which ships out end of the month

[@michaelcooper1018]

It’s Zuckuss!!

[@lawrencejelsma3937]

Michael Cooper ... Zuckuss is the other Bounty Hunter with more of a ruffled space jacket on (Kenner or Hasbro already made the 3 3/4 inch Zuckuss figures in 1997 with the Freeze Frames, 2008 with the Legacy collection and probably black series of 2011-13 ... Don't know for sure)! Zuckuss and 4-LOM boh stand with "Bossk, Boba Fett, IG-88 and Dengar" in front of Darth Vader in ESB before Bespin, Cloud City adventure!

[@MikeKaess]

There’s always one of those guys!
