I so excited for this guy. Like you I really think there should be a way to store the unignited saber. He looks a lot better than the few pics I’ve gotten to see!

[@VernsHobbies]

It’s definitely a solid figure!

[@hyperfire1134]

Vern's Hobbies it isn’t a game stop exclusive, so I’m wondering if the other 2 aren’t

[@jaxonbaker2106]

I think the reason his saber is so long is that it’s a temple guard saber so either A. He was a guard and found a new kyber crystal. B his master was a guard and it’s their saber or C. His original saber was lost and he found that new one.

[@VernsHobbies]

All possible explanations 👍

[@luqmaanlakhani382]

Basically, he says himself that his master gave it to him

[@ReptilianRichardRamirez]

Also, you have a quality control issue on the elbow joint. I wouldn't mess with it much more because it's ready to snap. If you want to attempt to work it in, heat it up with some hot water.

[@VernsHobbies]

Yes, I typically use a hair dryer but water works too 👍

[@bisocho]

I love star wars and I like your videos

[@VernsHobbies]

I like this comment!

[@lamarravery4094]

Cool figure. I will be picking this up next month.

[@VernsHobbies]

Yeah he’s a cool fig for sure

[@christiancividino455]

Same. I want to pick them all up.

[@abnuggler]

The figure doesnt seem to nail the character design face 100% but its close enough, though am I the only one that sees the headsculpt of the figure and thinks it could be used for a Jacen Solo Custom to go along with the Jaina Solo Figure we got.

[@VernsHobbies]

Yes loads of people have been talking about a Jacen custom

[@ReptilianRichardRamirez]

That's not how face printing tech works at all bro lol. It's actually incredibly difficult to do someone that's only been in animation like Rebels or a game like Fallen Order. For starters, they use thousands of images from everywhere to start building a printing schematic to make the sculpt and when it's a property where there aren't decades of images available it's far far more difficult to get an accurate result such is the case here. Secondly having it readily available in digital is absolutely no help as this tech is built on having real human-beings brought into a digital processing environment, when you're attempting to go from digital / animation to digital you get a not as accurate and a final skewed result as opposed of going real world human to digital from the beginning. Cool figure though, I have really high hopes for this game since it's Respawn that developed it and they have made some excellent triple A titles like Titanfall and Apex Legends. Thankfully they didn't used the outdated and redundant Frost engine like SW: Battlefront 1 & 2 and Battlefield 1 and V.

[@VernsHobbies]

I didn’t mean the face printing, I meant the sculpt 🤷‍♂️ the game engine uses a 3D model that is wired up for movement with meshes/skins applied. I know face print tech has nothing to do with this

[@carlo2384]

Thought I heard Cal Testes for half a second. Disney getting bold.

[@VernsHobbies]

😬😬😆

[@ethanglover8244]

this looks so much better in an in-hand review, i think i need to get this one too!

[@VernsHobbies]

He’s an awesome figure!

[@peterpacker1868]

nice review. Overall, not an amazing wave for me, but Cal Kestis (and maybe Inquisitor) is the only thing I'll be grabbing. That game is gonna be sweet (fingers crossed)

[@VernsHobbies]

Yeah that game looks like a nice cross between Battlefront 2 and The Force Unleashed. Both games I loved.

[@andresmoralescabrera3516]

Cal doesn’t have a double lightsaber if u analysed the saber it is the same saber as the temple guardians and they have there’s double and it’s style is the Same . He took one

[@bisocho]

I'm going to get one

[@VernsHobbies]

Do it!

[@rubytheater6330]

May the force be with you

[@VernsHobbies]

And with you!

[@bisocho]

I want one of those

[@VernsHobbies]

Sorry, he's gone now

[@RustbeltCollector]

Great video man (I hit that Sub)! You are lucky to have found these guys on the shelf! I have been scouting my local stores hoping for an early drop!

[@VernsHobbies]

Thank you so much for subbing!

[@epidemic1207]

What did you do in order to have BD-1 stay on his back in that last shot lol

[@VernsHobbies]

I used The Force 😉

[@axelcabreracarrillo4196]

Vern's Hobbies how you did it?

[@VernsHobbies]

Magic!

[@hyperfire1134]

Vern's Hobbies plz tell us

[@jesusortiz441]

No magic just slide droids feet under back vest he might fall but if u display him he won’t

[@mgchunterassassin8626]

You deserve more of a following, these videos are pretty good quality!

[@VernsHobbies]

Comment of the day!!! 🤩 My sincere thanks good sir!

[@mgchunterassassin8626]

@@VernsHobbies No problem! I know for a fact I'm staying subscribed, you make pretty good figure reviews.

[@chrisredfield8687]

I wish Hasbro made zeb from rebels

[@VernsHobbies]

Don't we all! We need more aliens in Black Series period.

[@NoahR_]

It's only a matter of time since we already have the rest of the Ghost crew.

[@kmcconnell-k6850]

Yeah I do too, I'm sure at a recent convention Hasbro said that he is on their radar and that he would be quite hard to do. They indicated that it would most likely be a deluxe figure as they made a joke about them needing a line for much bigger characters.

[@mikytv6749]

Great figure dude, thanks 4 this video

[@VernsHobbies]

Thanks for watching!

[@jesses542]

I need both the mandalorian and that called kestis, but Is force Friday held at midnight?

[@VernsHobbies]

Ask your local stores! “Cool” stores will do midnight releases ;)

[@roguecomics4775]

This would be a great base for a custom teenage Jacen Solo

[@VernsHobbies]

Yeah, that's a good idea. Too bad we probably won't get him now...

[@roguecomics4775]

@@VernsHobbies Won't get what now?

[@stfuforfree]

DO KYLO REN

[@VernsHobbies]

I wish! Unfortunately I did not get him :(

[@stfuforfree]

Oh okay it fine!

[@FelipeBoreli]

@@VernsHobbies what about Rey?

[@ForJustice-bl6rs]

I wonder if this will happen in the game after you defeat the Second Sister Inquisitor. You’re wonder who’s underneath the mask by saying, “Alright now for the unmasking.” You take off her mask and it’s........ By the Force, it’s Barriss Offee!

[@VernsHobbies]

🤩

[@isaccvilla20]

Super excited about this guy and the game

[@VernsHobbies]

Yeah the game looks great!

[@LittleRose2001]

You know the guy who plays Cal Kestis is Cameron Monaghan. The character was designed to look like him.

[@LittleRose2001]

And since I love Cameron I just had to get this figure and the funko pop too.

[@jesusortiz441]

How did you get droid to stay on back .? Cmon tells us

[@VernsHobbies]

I used the Force

[@MythosFilmsYT]

Aren't his pants supposed to be blue?

[@johnwick293]

Dylan Brouwer he’s also supposed to have a cape over his shoulder

[@MythosFilmsYT]

@@johnwick293 Not with this outfit. That poncho is just from the start of the game, presumably.

[@johnwick293]

Dylan Brouwer oh ok nvm ,I prefer the other outfit though lol

[@christiancividino455]

Kylo Ren I think a lot of people do

[@thestarhopper]

droid is a KX-Series Security Droid.

[@thestarhopper]

from rogue one

[@VernsHobbies]

If it had existed back in the days of Decipher's Star Wars CCG I would have known that 😂

[@Unicorn1231997]

How come some cal kestis figures come in a white box instead of this one?

[@VernsHobbies]

White boxes are “first edition” boxes. No difference in the figures but the white boxes will only be released on Oct. 4

[@jesusortiz441]

Vern’s a dork for not telling us

[@VernsHobbies]

😂

[@deadassyo6080]

Where can I get this wave

[@VernsHobbies]

At a major toy retailer near you on Force Friday Oct. 4

[@deadassyo6080]

Vern's Hobbies thx just got it collecting Star Wars so I don’t really know anything about this event..so just go to like a Walmart or target when the store opens?

[@VernsHobbies]

@@deadassyo6080 Maybe? Some stores will have events like a midnight release on Thursday night at midnight. You'll want to get in touch with your local stores like Walmart and Target and ask them what they have planned for Force Friday :) Good luck!

[@deadassyo6080]

Vern's Hobbies thx

[@hyperfire1134]

Vern's Hobbies will it come to England?

[@lazy2855]

Why wouldn’t they keep their family name? It’s their identity after all. Either way, nice video

[@VernsHobbies]

A padawan is taken from their family before they're old enough to talk. They never know or see their family in their entire lives. Their family name means nothing to them. The only thing keeping their family name does is let their family know that their sacrifice of their child will live on through their name.

[@lazy2855]

Vern's Hobbies oh, I misunderstood the question 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

[@ablongaming6262]

Where were you able to get this figure

[@VernsHobbies]

I acquired him in a game of chance 😉

[@lindaboreham3633]

There's 6 new figures in a case.,does anyone know who the 2 doubles are from a full case of 8?

[@VernsHobbies]

It’s actually 8 unique figures in a case: Kylo Rey Sith Trooper Cal The Mandalorian Second Sister Jawa First Order Stormtrooper

[@lindaboreham3633]

@@VernsHobbies Cheers.,thankyou for the info

[@FelipeBoreli]

Rey, please !!!!!!

[@VernsHobbies]

I haven't gotten my hands on her yet :(

[@jesusortiz441]

Or tuck the droids left leg under his vest behind his shoulder blade

[@VernsHobbies]

Nope, doesn't fit, I tried it

[@jesusortiz441]

Yes it does I have him don’t lie

[@jesusortiz441]
