Star Wars The Vintage Collection Bo-Katan Kryze (Plazir-15) VC339 Review & Comparison

[@Guernicaman]

They should've definitely given her the shield & maybe plug in flames for her jet pack, tho I wonder if that would've meant she would've come in a deluxe card. Probably. 🤔 But hey, if in the end sales for this figure variant means Hasbro gets more money for new tooling used in new figures, then I'm all for it.

[@ciscodeer9094]

Yeah they should have made her with a longer bob, thank you Bossk.

[@starwarsroo2448]

Original was a great fig, had it all, great h3ad sculpt

[@scottwhitehouse7152]

Great review - hard to keep positive with pretty dodgy repacks like this. If they had done the hair properly and maintained the quality of weathering and paint apps this might have been ok. Another of this years releases that can wait until it’s £4 in the Entertainer sadly

[@michaelbowers7400]

Bo Katen and dark saber & Mandorloreon series sweet Amazing from California

[@jontuell5338]

People are just trying to find something good to say/believe ccuz this fig is identical to the original...original enough to make people not want it. Thanks for the review, Bossk!

my local retailer i think is going out of business he still has 13 bo-katan and 13 maul spikey trooper mandos i've brought so many Bo-katans for a future repainting, i have eight in a unopened box, and i think around 15 bo's on my shelf, some already have different heads pulled from other female starwars figures, and a lot just sitting unposed.. As my mando shelf while i put it up like six months ago, moved all the figures over last month i still haven't got to standing them up properly.. its above my bed and i don't wanna stand on my bed to do it! lol But yeah 13 bo's left at 13nzd each, i have debated grabbing a couple more and painting the character as a standard nightowl, i could also steal her wrists and give them to characters i did consider doing it for sabine.. but i'd have to match the gloves and deluxe sabine has fingerless gloves..

[@TheNot-So-VintageNerd]

Something I just noticed is that the range finder’s tip is not painted black which is a mistake. I still think that this is most complete Bo-Katan we may ever get but the mistakes or lack of care for the accuracy of the season brings this figure down quite a bit. Even Ahsoka who had constant reissues is open to criticism when it comes to “overuse” yet they can do the job well on the Peridia version. I fear this will become a pegwarmer even if it’s been well over two years since the initial release. It’s a bit of a shame.

[@the_amazing_crappo]

This version is missing loads of minor paint apps from the previous release. Probably Hasbro cost-cutting.

[@TheNot-So-VintageNerd]

@ They’ve been cost-cutting across all lines and not just TVC. And my recent endeavour with Transformers, specifically Legacy United G1 Optimus has shown that nobody is guaranteed a functioning product.

[@eddiegv45]

I never got the first one that came out so I think I will snag this one

[@anonymousapotamus9656]

The only benefit of this figure, in my opinion, is the new dark saber that isn’t as gummy as previous versions. Other than that, there’s not much to be excited about. If this figure hits a generous clearance, then it might be worth getting a couple just to have some extra dark sabers.

[@natron1973]

The picture on the card goes along with the description on the back… theoretically, they should name it correctly but, I don’t know… I don’t think it’s that big a deal. It is a great picture. Great review! Keep up the good work! MTFBWY

[@MarkyD1967]

The range finder on her new helmet is an unpainted plain grey color while the previous version had proper paint, including the top part being painted black. So I’m using the old helmet. Once again Hasbro cheaped out on paint apps, which is standard now. And as for Bantha Skulls reviews, it’s getting hard to take them serious anymore as 99% of them end up with a 9/10 score and definitive designation despite all the accuracy issues and lack of paint. All the recent repacks have something wrong with them yet their scores are off the charts. It’s too bad they can’t be honest about what’s really going on…🤷🏻‍♂️

[@julythrunov]

great review of a, well difficult figure to review to be hones. As you said, great for its time, still great but missing necessary updates.

[@MitchellGumm]

I could have lived without this Bo Katan, and even the new Axe Woves in spite of corrections. I think they are watering down the line. As you said, there are tons of figures just from Mando they need to get to. Where is my Xi'an, Quin, Burg, Zero, and Mayfeld S1 prison break figures? Or the Client? Or Peli Motto? Really wish Hasbro would just do it right the first time, then there are no need for corrected re-released figures. That being said, I am getting one graded, but do not need any openers. The original one works just fine for me in my display case.

[@starwarsroo2448]

Slightly disappointed in tvc this year, what with paint apps and stuff like this and Axe Woves where they haven't actually updated th figures t o how they were in season three. I hope " return To Tattooin" delivers next year

[@lamarravery4094]

As much as I love Bo Kataan, I'd rather have other new figures that we need. The new Moff Gideon in beskar and helmet and his beskar imperial jetpack troopers. We really need those guys, what's the hold up, Hasbro?

[@chancebrown106]

Meh. I’ve bought nothing from this wave except 3 Jetpack troopers…. I’m looking to buy the 4th one tomorrow for $5 off from my monthly coupon at GameStop. I was being generous even getting those.. I’m good the rest of the year now.

[@TLCampbellEFX]

Hey BB, QFNW. First, are we more likely to have questions answered submitted early or late week? 😊Second, where does Yoda rank in characters for you, and do you feel we’re due for a new sculpt? Folks talk about 3PO’s proportions, but Yoda seems even more out of whack, particularly @head and legs. Lastly, is Bossk your phone wallpaper?

[@vematsos]

Do you have your figures carry the severed heads if you have them with their helmets on??

[@dantooine4279]

You review them Tim, so we don't have to buy them 😂

[@scottborham2838]

There's no enthusiasm with the 400th version of the same figure or any of the Mando figures now days. Lacking in paint apps, Well who would have guessed that. Given there are four accessories helmet dark saber and two blaster that would be consider a Deluxe Pack now days wouldn't it ? Like you said Boring. Hasbro has never really listen to the fans in regard to what they really want. But they soon will if they keep making garbage like this. Because the fans and collectors are sick to death of the continuous repacks and repaint of the same old boring figures. It's only a matter of time and collectors will say enough is enough and stop collecting. Hasbro need to stop with the Disney Star Wars garbage and get back to the OT and Prequal figures.

[@czapi7792]

I feel like something isn't right with this helmet

[@glyndaley5844]

Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhh INUFF BLOODY MANDALORIONS ITS GETTING BORRING NOW

[@davidparker6399]

Another insulting barely any effort release from Has-blo. Are they hoping we don't notice the shocking number of repaints and lazy repacks. Howzer, Axe Woves and now this. Look Malibu Stacey has a new hat! That was meant to be satire not a business model. How many "Meh. Pass" comments do we see these days? These insults have to stop before apathy causes the whole line to implode.

[@charger9105]

This was simply a horrible choice to release as its own TVC number. I skipped buying this one without a second thought.
