Stuff like this only ends up damaging relationships with brick-and-mortar and online partners when they inevitably bomb. With so many figures ending up there, they need to seriously consider giving Ollies an exclusive.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I can see that happening. Do they have to get these figures though? Like couldn't a fan channel just choose not to sell a certain Holocomm figure? -Justin

[@alexlazenby]

Boys, boy, boys. You just don't get it. Credit collection, bad figure selection and Holocomm are there to feed a niche sector of the collecting community - the Peg Warmer Ultras. As a proud card-carrier of the Peg Warming Ultras (Peggies) I welcome the new selection. Thank you, Lucas Film and Disney! If it wasn't for random figure selections like this I wouldn't currently boast a 56-figure-strong platoon of General Lando Calrissians (#GreatestArmyBuilder). Peggies 4 eva!

[@michaelbird]

Last weekend on IG, under Yak’s Haslab post, I suggested that Hasbro actively fleecing their customers because they have no misgivings about exploiting our fandom. The amount of blowback I received from Hasbro’s loyal evangelists was eye-rollingly vehement. Yet here we are again. Defenses that they have to exploit tooling in multiple ways disregards the relentless, satellite lines on offer, all with unique molds that are practically stocked directly into clearance aisles. Tooling does not cost what they would have you believe. That we are nearly 50 years into the existence of Star Wars toys should imply that selling this stuff is a science yet the company seems to be run by executives who have nothing more insightful to offer than, “turn the nerds upside down and shake them HARDER.” After the insult that was the Tonnika sisters last week, I cancelled so many, many preorders. And I will be especially critical of the impulse to collect Hasbro SW in the future. I may be a fan, but I’m not as gullible as Hasbro seems to think.

[@jjdubecky]

I cut the cord with Hasbro Star Wars after the Bespin bridge to nowhere. It’s been liberating. Take the pill…

@@OutOfTheBasement agreed. I may not have skin in the game but I like to stay in the loop.

[@thecasualknight2647]

I'm not defending Hasbro specially on some things they have done recently but the one thing I defiantly disagree with a lot of people is haslab , there is literally no law far as my knowledge that says companies depending on their status are forbidden from doing fun raisers and at the end of the day all haslabs are consumer choice and their is nothing wrong with it , if people don't want it then don't back it but in this case people did want the cantina set and it just got backed by peoples choice now I myself don't think it was worth the asking price but other people did , it got backed and that's that but yet people treat haslab as the most evil thing in the world and I find it sad and crazy that something that is peoples choice is hated this much and that right their shows how petty people can be over something like this .

Literally the only two Hologram figures that I would get are Palpatine or Leia. And they are also taking away from the budget which is preventing them from making other figures, like Kelnacca.

[@id0licious]

No Vader tho?

[@jhawkjedi3346]

Nailed it with the POTA clip at the beginning. Nice. 100% agree with everything you guys say here. I have said for a while that anytime there is a decision made regarding these toy lines that is so completely baffling from a potential business sales standpoint, that there is a 99.9% chance that the decision is being made in response to Disney as the license holder. (You don’t ask collectors to buy a $500 lightsaber from a character that no one knows about from a brand new tv show, as they did with the Reva saber Haslab). No one in their right mind would make that business decision. They obviously have to put out a certain amount of figures/product to coincide with new media within certain time frames. Nothing could be more obvious. There were decisions made on the Indiana Jones 6” line that were complete headscratchers with no other explanation besides a directive from Disney. THE DEFINITION OF CLONE IS BASED ON REPLICATING FOR PETES SAKE. the reuse is built into the property! The money prints itself. Hasbro knows this, but they have contractual obligations to satisfy else they lose the license. These holocomm figures are just the latest example of being tied to contractual terms for product releases and is the only explanation for literally sitting on the automatic money printing opportunity this property comes with in the form of just releasing clone repaint after clone repaint. One thing that did occcur to me is I wonder if they are holding off on doing a Leia holocomm until they release the recently announced new version of ANH Leia? Could explain the absence of that character from that subline.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Well said, Jhawk! Well said. I have nothing else to add other than thank you for watching! -Justin

[@thecasualknight2647]

people forget that Hasbro is licensed by Disney to make star wars toys so if Disney comes knocking on Hasbro door and tells them they want these figures made for whatever crap Kathleen Kennedy is pulling out of her arse then Hasbro has no choice to make them or loose that license , I can tell when Hasbro has the freedom to make any figure of star wars characters people actually like too Disney telling them to make figures out of characters people hate with a passion .

[@joe3019772008]

the only black series figure i preordered the day they put these up for order was the re-release of jedi fallen order kal kestis. i sold him off long time back and regreted it. so, now i will have him and rex back in my hands again soon. i also preordered the acolyte retro collection set. cause i am getting out of black series and focusing a lot more on my retro collection figures instead. already sold off a great deal of my black series. the only set i kept of my black series was my favorite OT movie which is ROTJ. i fell behind too much on the black series and too much is out there to keep up with now. so, that is where i stand with all of it.

[@mrgrudge5856]

They have a brand-new Leia pipeline, so that’s why you probably haven’t gotten the hologram one. The light doesn’t travel all the way through the figure because of the joints. Sew on a Robo video where he had a solid blue Emperor, the light went right through it.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yep as I said these figures were not designed to have light-piping. -Justin

[@AVeg-f2k]

Great intro, especially Nate’s OotB theme song and harmonica playing. The outro duet was top notch. I’ve reduced my Black Series buying considerably so don’t plan to purchase any of these figures. That is bad for Hasbro to release the same figure but with a highly coveted accessory to get people to buy the same figure twice. I’m more vested in DC Multiverse line and it seems McFarlane Toys follows that practice quite a bit with heads. Instead of packaging a figure with multiple heads the figure will be sold separately with the different heads, hate that.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yep it's not just Hasbro! McFarlane has all sorts of problems. -Justin

Easy pass on all The Acolyte figures. I just don't care about the High Republic stuff. I would grab the prison transport droid if they made one, cos droid. But otherwise meh.

I think they come in all sizes in the movies so I don't really care. -Justin

[@whitefriarnerd]

I'm really enjoying The Acolyte and I'm all in on the TBS figures. Except that awful holocomm figure. Osha I think is what the ideal TBS character release should look like in terms of accessories. Like we do not need the alternate droid configuration. If they had just packed in the regular one no one would have cared that much. But they put that little bit more effort in which is commendable, if they did that more consistently across the line there might not be quite so much negativity in the collecting community about it.

True let's turn things around with some more bangers! -Justin

[@Djkold]

I honestly believe all these repacks etc. we are seeing right now are a subliminal Haslab to fund all the new unique sculpts that has a lot of accessories too. Because it sure seems like it's suddenly possible to inlcude a lot now AND a unique/new sculpt.

[@TERMICOBRA]

@@OutOfTheBasement Nate the number one thing that bothers me the most about made for TV Star Wars is what they could've been. Not many media corporations can throw 180 million at a TV show and it seems like that kind of money could've bought way better writing and acting. Instead of a large production made with an insane amount of money from a powerful corporation it seemed like a well funded KZbin fan channel production. I especially had this same feeling with BOBF and Obi-Wan.

[@Beaker709]

I wonder if Disney/LucasFilm subsidizes Hasbro to make figures that potentially won't sell. Corporations are not known for their smarts, but I am sure they must have been burnt enough over the past few years to not want to make these figures.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

These decisions on character selection definitely come from Lucasfilm/Disney to a very high degree. -Justin

[@Shadowrider941]

Glad I can just save some money. I’ll pick up the Osha but everything else just isn’t my thing. I try to get as much as I can but I’m not a completionist anymore and there’s a freedom in just going “Nah, I don’t want it” and not spending the $24.99-27.99 instead of buying the shiny new thing I’m not crazy about but felt obligated to.

Now i didnt collect the credit figures but it is an interesting point that those figures did in a way serve a purpose, the little credits were cool as props and the figures being based on the concept art from the credits (was the name of the line also a pun?) of The Mandalorian. Holocomm could serve a purpose if they just used better characters ie every Jedi council member.

Outside of standing up to Vader and shooting the Stormtroopers to help her rescuers or comforting Luke after Obi-Wan’s death, this is THE Leia moment. That message started the entire thing along with the backstory told by Obi-Wan. This will be a day long remembered.

Because I like the shiny carbonized and the funky CC looks and 2. Most of the time you get those figures pretty cheap after the release (I got CC Ashoka for 12€ for example) But I am not interested in the Holocomm line at all. Maybe in deep sale some day when I have to much money and it is burning a whole in my pocket. But there are also a lot of great releases lately like the Droideka, Ki Adi Mundi, the Ashoka Clone 2 Pack and the Battle Droid etc. But it is alright when there is no new BS releases I can spent more money on some sweet NEca Aliens and Predators.😁

@OutOfTheBasement yes especially more aliens, creatures, droids etc. But what about the prequels? So many more to go but you only want more OT?

[@212th_hunter]

I might get holocomm ezra and I'm 100% buying the Shin Hati (mercenary)

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Erm, it’s actually called Shin Hati (Arcana) 🤓☝🏻

[@JediSithord23]

I’ll maybe see if the Baylan and Shin go on clearance just for the cloaks. Hard clearance tho.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Being Walmart and Target exclusives, it's hard to say if they will hit clearance. -Justin

[@orl484]

There’s is nothing fun about the Acolyte, every figure for me is a hard pass

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I think it's alright. -Justin

[@doccavs723]

Better cancel your preorder my dude, with how the show is going, you will get the figures cheap in the future. Then again by that time, you might not even want the figure anymore

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Who? I don't think we pre-ordered any of these. -Justin

[@doccavs723]

@@OutOfTheBasement I think somewhere in the video, one of you said you have a preorder of a jedi figure.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

@@doccavs723 Oh yeah those were previous pre-orders. Not the ones mentioned in this video. -Justin

[@dannycarter5299]

I’ll not be getting any of these figures, and I got my Holcomb Bo katan for $6! I would like to see light piping improvements in the series as well as better selection

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Give me that Holocomm Darth Vader! Only one I'm excited for. -Justin

[@HockenheimIsMyDaddy]

Meh, as long as people keep buying, nothing will change, so honestly it's not Hasbro's fault, nor is it the greedy armchair economists that lead hasbro, it's the nerds' fault for buying and complaining and doing nothing about it, it's always "Oh i'm not going to buy from this line again" then the day after they go out and buy 5 pieces of the same figure.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

We're not buying these...

[@HockenheimIsMyDaddy]

@@OutOfTheBasement oh no but someone definitely is lmao

[@ryanmeneses5003]

I haven’t gotten Shin and I always favor a cape over a non cape. So this is ok for me.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Nice. -Justin

[@kevingallagher188]

I actually haven't picked up anything from the Ahsoka series.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I wish I never had. -Justin

[@industrialpanic]

Looking forward to the new Acolyte peg warmers. I do wonder which characters will sell best from the show tho. I think Sol is the clear winner.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Probably Sol and Jecki since she's an alien? -Justin

[@Pedro1136]

I don’t have a Shin and if they had fixed her height I might have grabbed her but for me it’s a pass. This type of shenanigans is why I mostly don’t buy black series anymore. I just wish TVC got as many characters as black series.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Just pass on what you don't like and pick up the ones you do like. I don't see it as a reason to drop the line as a whole. -Justin

[@Pedro1136]

@@OutOfTheBasement if it’s a character that’s a favourite or a figure I really like I absolutely pick it up. Can’t wait for my Ki-Adi Mundi to arrive. But I don’t pick up multiples of troopers and the like. Plus I’m Australian so figured cost a lot more here and are harder to find.

[@Sanbking]

Way too many holocrons. The collectors have voted with their wallets, we dont want holocron figures. Ps the acolyte is abysmal, its currently at a 18% on rotten tomatoes. like with the holocron figures, we have voted and expressed the acolyte it not what we want.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

18% audience score, eh. -Justin

[@Tebigong101]

They could reuse Osha’s body and probably will to give us a female Rebel soldier

[@OutOfTheBasement]

That's true. -Justin

[@shawnsigbornson77]

That's a big NO on all of these

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Big agree! -Justin

[@stewjonjedi]

I expect to find all of these at Ross in the coming months.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I don't because they're nearly all exclusive. -Justin

[@Escaped-FromHellview]

All that wasted accessories that they could do with yoda , ki adi, kit fisto, anakin skywalker obi wan, palpatine should of definitely got this treatment u can tell lucasfilm gave more money to have these done

[@OutOfTheBasement]

All that plastic! -Justin

[@shawnchem]

Hard pass on all except regular OSHA. No holocrap for me. What's next, carbonized holograms in metallic green clear plastic?

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Credit Holonized Collection does have a ring to it 😂😂. -Nate

[@MasterDaveo]

if i found the holocon osha cheep (clearence) id paint the acessories and use for customs that bag could be used for rebel soldier i dont know trying to be as positive as i can for stupid hasbro choices

[@OutOfTheBasement]

That's a solid point! -Justin

[@baileystout6932]

See, the Shin figure thing is real scummy. But I won’t lie. She’s one of my favorite characters and I’ll absolutely pick this one up if I see it just because I’d like a second figure of her

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Nice. -Justin

[@MikeKaess]

You guys never complain about figures, you're always too positive, you don't like anything.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

😂💀

[@GenX_Brian]

Nope, notta, nothing… 💩

[@OutOfTheBasement]

We were due for some stinkers, lol! Let us hope they get right back on track like they have been this past year. -Justin

[@carljones4398]

They could use the money to make new figures like a new jango fett instead of wasting it with the hogram figures

[@OutOfTheBasement]

They have the pieces to make Jango with all these different Mandos we've been getting. They've got to have the pieces by now. -Justin

[@carljones4398]

Just wondering why hasbro haven’t made him yet

[@JeremyKingTech]

Hasbro is a customer of Disney, right? So.... The Osha figures make sense.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

A customer of Disney?

[@JeremyKingTech]

@@OutOfTheBasement I mean (probably not stated in the most eloquent way) that Disney is much much much larger of the two corporations (and is worth that much more) and Hasbro is using Disney's IP. They are in contract with one another and both exist to profit but Disney sets certain terms and Hasbro has to meet those terms. It's the very nature of the power dynamic at play. Disney has their own agenda and if Disney wants The Acolyte figures, Hasbro is going to make The Acolyte figures even if it means limited resources be allocated to those The Acolyte figures. Doesn't really matter what the old core fans want. Personally, I would love to see more aliens, Stormtrooper variants and Legends/EU figures. I'd also like to see more updated reissues of in demand figures. It would also help bring down the scalper prices and give the people what they want. Anyways, I hope that makes more sense.

[@thegillman777]

I'll definitely be skipping all of these, unless I find them marked down to $4....and even then I'm not so sure.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for watching, Gill-Man! -Justin

[@rogerbowen5753]

What the actual puck!? There's nothing in that line-up I'll be picking up! Gimmicks suck, just give us cool figures and ones we actually ask for!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

One and only Holocomm pickup for me and that's Vader. -Justin
