Star Wars Black Series Archive Wave Thrawn, Cody, Hoth Han and Luke Hasbro Action Figure Review

[@devilmaycryfan7681]

You opening the packages in any different way you can find and then damaging the package as much as you can is the funniest thing to me

[@TheFwoosh]

Haha, I'm just having some fun with it, but I'm going to run out of ways quick.

[@morning_thinker6386]

Tbh this is my go-to channel for action figures, so more Star Wars is never a bad thing.

[@impossiblepie]

Robo, watching you rip open the packaging to get the figure out is the best part of the video, love it!

it defeats the purpose of the line as 100% reuse voting for cody in this poll totally killed our chance of getting a new one

Yeah, I though they were going to revamp him, since he's that old. But no. I just preordered him anyway, he will go well with my other Commanders and hopefully a Obi - Wan if they eventually get around to making one (that isn't the ugly blue line).

[@Burtronic]

I think I’m really gutted by Luke and Han, I was really looking forward to them but the shiny faces just don’t grab me. The Bespin Han was an outstanding head sculpt, the Endor one, not so good but a likeable figure. I’ll get Cody though. Awesome review and thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@jotigamer1900]

Why all the new figures have glossy faces? I wish they all were like Dengar, Windu, Dryde, Clone Commander Obi Wan, Hoth Leia, bespin Han...

[@Tarriq]

They had some highlight added to their face 🤧

[@jersonona7961]

I think it's a clear coating to protect the faceprint. Though there's too much in some figures and the right amount in some.

[@DMSL2007]

It baffles me why they are like that, perhaps instead of carbonized we are now getting sweaty variations?

[@robd1329]

The gloss sucks

[@tenacioussk8ter]

That intro was so relatable...

[@joaoangel5579]

I love how you cut Thrawn out of there. It reminded me of when Jedi cut holes in walls and what not get through.

[@Red_1911]

They really need to do something about the gloss and lack of articulation

[@domtaylor1887]

The only ones I'm getting from this wave are Thrawn and Cody.

[@micahwright5901]

That appears to be the general consensus. The Hoth figures are great, but there are better Lukes and Hans that aren’t so specific.

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

That intro is so accurate, we've all been there Robo.

[@AngelRamirez-vt7pz]

[@VernsHobbies]

I don't know why, but KZbin showed me 5 ads in this video. Oh, and they're called Imperial Code Cylinders.

[@kingsmont]

Hey robo! At my target that I work at the figures ARE NOT street dated they just haven’t been set on the shelf and the set date for the figures is April!

[@alexandergoodman9292]

This is a bit off topic, but I think that there were two different coats for han in different scenes it looks different. There are many cases were there are two different versions of a prop in different scenes, like in raiders of the lost ark, there are two different designs of the staff of raw. Just a thought, could be very wrong. Thanks for the video Robo! Really like the thrawn and Cody.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, I've seen the jacket in-person at Celebration so it'll always be brown for me, but I also like the two different jackets thing. I definitely don't hate the blue and will keep a version on the shelf.

[@alexandergoodman9292]

Oh. Like It was just a theory, I kind of forgot they had the jacket at celebration. I guess it's one of those Laural or Yanny situations! I kind of like the brown one better as well, but I like blue as well.

I’ve seen some decent prints. I just made the mistake of buying one early before I realized they can look good.

Han looks like he's got snot all over his face. And what's with the yellowing of Luke? Is it a light-thing? Thrawn was the only one I wasn't going to update, but your video has made me change my mind. Thanks Robo :)

[@lowellmartens6135]

I don't need the Thrawn, but I am very happy to be able to get the rest, especially Cody. I needed him for my Clones shelf. Clone Commander Obi Wan is looking lonely.

[@FoxsDumbSeriesMaker]

I once saw the old Thrawn figure at a Best Buy when I was on a trip and I didn't get it because I had no shelf space at the time. I've always regretted that decision, but now I'm glad I didn't buy it. The updated paintjob on this re-release of Thrawn looks a lot better.

[@TheQuikMix]

i was initially very excited for this wave, but now I'm thinking I'll skip them except Thrawn for my Rebels collection. Good stuff though! Happy that clone collectors get Cody reissue.

[@jamessaliturewizard5694]

Picked up trawn at target they did not want to sell him to me but did anyway

[@jeebus2313]

Honestly wish they'd just do a full redo on Cody at this point. The original sculpt has too many things that annoy me and he really should have a removable helmet. Some extra accessories (Sidious/Emperor hologram for the Order 66 scene, etc) would also be nice.

[@eldragon2k423]

Hey Robo the Han Solo you got is actually a variant, the actual Han has a darker coat and there’s been a variant going around with light brown

[@BubbleBum4082]

Gahhh.. I can’t find these anywhere! But awesome review as always robo

[@bjpalm1994]

Great review Robo! I feel like they are still hit & miss with the photo real paintjobs. Some figures look great whereas others not so much. This wave here just looks sooo shiny for some reason and the eyes all look a little off. Is the Kamino clone and Cody supposed to be the same armor version? It'd be cool to see a Cody customized on that body. Seeing all the Hoth versions though makes me wish they'd rerelease the TaunTauns.

[@nealfinocchiaro8010]

Not a bad set of figures love the videos bro

[@CrimsinHavik]

Almost lost the coffee in my mouth at that intro.

[@Caleb.Collects98]

I found this wave minus Cody at Target; they were not street dated. I picked up Thrawn and left the rest. The face print tech on Thrawn is fantastic.

[@Ringer149]

Think you might need a Casting Cave head for Han. That sculpt is rough.

[@100PercentEarl]

really thought there was gonna be 5 intentional minutes of box destroying with Cody's box lol

[@sattercollector2066]

I love that the latest videos are black series 🥰🤩

[@MerlinMAVK]

It is GREAT that Hasbro with both the Black Series and Marvel Legends go back and re-release figures for fans that missed them or have joined collecting more recently and never had a shot at them and now go for magnitudes over retail on the secondary market. Some fans gripe about re releases but this is why they do it and it's healthy for the lines and their growth.

[@xsquidd]

You lucky sod. Us UK folk are still wondering when or if our preorders are going to be carried through,

[@hyperfire1134]

They will, star action figures will come through. And think about it this way we’re also lucky we still get figures pretty fast some people have to wait months and months after their figures come off preorder.

Can confirm, found the whole line at Target on Dec. 26th and when I tried to check out they said they were not for sale until 4/1/21

[@tombowling8646]

Great review of some cool Black Series product! The econodemic has me on a budget. While I like all these figures, I have to give them a soft pass for some other ones I'm jonesing for, like Zeb Orrelios.

[@armchairwarrior963]

I want thrawn for sure.

[@Magneme]

Not sure if your brain has already been lingering in this direction, but having a spare Cody on hand gives you an excellent opportunity to make a custom Captain Vaughn from season 7 of the clone wars, especially since Vaughn is practically an exact recolor of Cody anyway. Frankly I myself am tempted to get 2 Cody's for the sole purpose of making a Vaughn, either to display on my shelf or sell for some big bucks.

[@TheFwoosh]

It would just be tweaking the paint job right? Does Vaughn have blue markings?

[@Magneme]

@@TheFwoosh Vaughn does indeed have those classic blue 501st markings. As we see him in the show though he has that Ahsoka paintjob on his helmet, but I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to either find some material of him before the orange paintjob or just guess around it and give him a blue stripe on his helmet and along his visor. But hey it's up to you whether you feel like going through the effort of recreating that Ahsoka paint on his helmet; all in all it doesn't look too intuitive but I'd imagine trying to get it just right on a curved helmet with a visor would be pretty difficult.

[@hammerpr1]

Great video. My Thrawn's rank plaque (and my Piett) need a little touch up but I have no idea what paint to use to match the colors and shades. Any help you might offer? Thanks.

[@johndye3122]

Awesome video 😎👍

[@lorddeez1385]

With Thrawn, I noticed something about your old one vs. My old one. Yours does not have the silver with the rank badge, while mine does. Overall, the paint is cleaner.

[@TheFwoosh]

Yeah, like I talked about, the one without the paint on the badge is my SDCC version, while my unopened red box did have silver.

[@JohnJones-zk4ri]

Is there any chance we can see what that CC obi wan head looks like on the SHF obi wan?

[@grievoustheboss]

Hi Robo why you dont look for a phase one cody head if you finde one it would be a nice custom for the old cody :)

[@bikerscout7467]

I was looking forward to getting the Hoth Luke and Han updates, but I have to admit the face tech print on both looks really sloppy!!!Definitely not up to the recent high standard set by the Black series. Not what I expected at all! Maybe they'll look better in hand, but it does seem a bit dissapointing knowing what hasbro are capable of.

[@TheFwoosh]

They will always look better in person compared to being zoomed all the way in for an HD video, but the sculpts were already off to begin with, so they aren't as good as they could have been.

[@rms13r]

New Archive Cody is missing the grey paint highlights around the feet that the first Cody had!

[@GonzaloRubio.]

Never had Thrawn or Cody so of course I picked those 2 up but I’m okay on the both Han and Luke.

[@gaddaitherage8204]

I live in HK, and we surprising get a lot of the releases earlier than the US. That said, it sucks that the stores either make me buy the entire set (I just want cody), or sell separately but all the codys are gone. So reissue or not I still have to buy in the second hand market. Scalpers be damned!

[@frobafett]

Kinda Random question? Do you think we will see a New Sandtrooper on the new Stormtrooper body? I hope they release one archive or released in a new wave.

[@TheFwoosh]

Gotta think they'll want to get their money's worth out of the new sculpt, but it would also mean some new parts. Abs, knees.
