Great review as always. I own seven of these bad boys and I love them! In my opinion, this is one of the coolest figures and I think it’s my favorite deluxe figure. For whatever reason they’re always very inexpensive and they were found on clearance here in the United States.that will always be a mystery to me, but I’m not complaining. This army builder is one for the ages. Thank you for including the review of the vintage collection version with this. It’s very helpful.

I can't wait to finally have Dedra Meero. So glad to hear she's coming in TVC as well. I just love Imperials and especially ISB,. I just wish they would release an ISB six pack similar to what they did years ago with the Death Star conference room. Or a three pack with Dedra, Heert and Corv. Not a big ask LOL...excellent review by the way...
@VillaVarykino6 күн бұрын
Thanks so much! I know that Imperial Officers aren't as 'actiony' as figures with lightsabers and blasters, but they're so important to Star Wars, and I really love the ISB scenes in Andor, can't wait for more Dedra Meero in season 2! 😃

@@VillaVarykino Yeah, I think the ISB are really going to go hard in Andor 2. And with Krennic there as well. It's going to be a wild ride. Just wish there was going to be three seasons but they are dragging their heels so I guess it's best to wrap it up...

@hyperdrivecollections646011 күн бұрын
Great character and great show in my opinion however I can’t stand it when an expensive TVC figure doesn’t come with any accessories, for the price they should include something, anything. There are plenty of appropriate accessories that Hasbro could have added with her that would help justify the price. Hasbro continues to pull this on the collector lately, no cloak, no weapon in the first release, then they drop the version with the scene specific accessory. Greedy Hasbro. As always I love your reviews and this makes me want to watch the show again
@VillaVarykino6 күн бұрын
Thanks so much - we really enjoyed our recent rewatch of Ahsoka. Of course we all want Star Wars figures to be affordable, but personally I don't mind if Hasbro makes a profit - modern companies want reasonable profits to keep producing a line or else they cancel it (like Star Wars X-Wing and Armada that were cancelled). I want Star Wars toys to be made for the rest of my life and beyond, so I want/need Hasbro to make money on Star Wars toys. I do agree that Hasbro cuts corners where they shouldn't, but I personally don't mind the lack of accessories with Morgan Elsbeth, Mon Mothma, and others like them ⭐
@hyperdrivecollections646012 күн бұрын
I think the word is cheap. So many of the vintage collection figures these days feel cheap to me. The plastic that’s used is reminiscent of a twizzler or a piece of licorice. Maybe even a pencil eraser. I understand the need for it to be slightly flexible, but compared to the vintage collection figures from the mid 2000s there’s no comparison. I shy away from so many vintage collection figures these days because in my opinion, the build quality is poor. In my opinion, has reserves the majority of their budget for the black series. The poor quality of the plastic and the flimsy card backs I’ve become selective . Thank you for providing an honest review for the people who don’t have this yet

Excellent video! You covered it all in great detail. It's going to be close to a thousand dollars here in Australia but I think it is worth it. Well, that's coming from someone that's been an original Star Wars fan since 1978. My brother and I backed one full set each through EB Games, so we can save for it. Another big plus is that we already have all the cantina crowd. But it's going to be great to finally have the Tonnikas to add to that. Great video. Your narration flowed like music...

@gecko-sb1kp13 күн бұрын
@@VillaVarykino The one thing I overlooked were Jawas. They were inside the cantina as well and I don't have any. I did once but don't know where they've gone. I'm confident that Hasbro will come to the party with some good upgrades. My number one wish is for an Akmena figure but I think that's a stretch. Some human patrons would be good. Although it was never my intention to over populate. I think that would hide too much detail. But I'm going to etch a stone floor and wire my own lighting. I'm thinking about displaying the full cantina on a slowly rotating table.

Your display concepts sound great - once it's full of characters, you'll definitely need/want to be able to see it from all angles. And yes, some Holiday Special characters like Bea Arthur as Ackmena would be very fun, even if a little niche.

Had a feeling the Vernestra Rwoh figure was in early production of sort before the show concluded so they had no idea about the whip saber design which was only revealed during the latter part of the series.
