Excellent pickups of the grand inquisitor figure keep collecting and may the force be with you all star wars fans the force is strong with this one bossk bounty
This is a case where soft goods wasn't the way to go, considering that the character is known for fighting without a cape. On my copy, there's a frustrating gap between the cape and backpack that seems dreadfully fragile
Yo! GI looks really good. Kudos to Hasbro to remaking that lightsaber. You know they wanted to use that Reva's lightsaber mold. Gr8 job Hasbro. Great job, Bossk
This looks like a great figure, excellent head sculpt. I do prefer how he looked in Rebels though. Not to take anything away from this good looking figure.
This looks great! I do hope they do Fifth Brother and Fourth Sister as well… would also love if they went back to JFO to do a younger Cal and Trilla (Second Sister) as well
I loved when we used to get almost every background character & droid from the movies. It was fun world building... I'd use old TV packing Styrofoam as a ship or a cantina with characters setup to continue the adventures the movies left off at.
Hey Bossk (375istheway) on someone else’s iPad and I said this figure because I have it and really think you will be pleased with him. I think it’s a really nice figure!
Definitely picking this up to add to my 3.75 inch imperial army. Just really hope they get round to redoing Tarkin because he’s the one glaring omission in mine!
I really liked the Obi Wan series. Obi Wan has always been kind of a problem for me. I think all his plans were stupid, and deserved to blow up in his face. Like at the end of RotS, (to Yoda) "Let's go hide! On totally separate planets! With no cellphones!" and, "I'm one of the most powerful people remaining in the galaxy, and have more information about what happened than pretty much everybody, buy I'm just gonna sit my ass down on this sucky planet for 20 years spying on a kid and playing Minecraft in my hut." This show really addressed all of that. And, I like the idea that he became this kind of secret agent for Bail Organa in the end. Nowhere is it canon that he stayed put on Tatooine that entire time, it's just sort of assumed. It makes much more sense to me that he would skip out periodically to do high priority stuff, kind of like Luthan Rael.
This looks like a great figure, can’t wait for him to release Down Under. I maintain that the Obi Wan series should have been focused on Reva and the Inquisitors hunting Jedi with Obi Wan and Vader as side characters.
Way better than expected. Sure he's not the Rebels version, but I'm certain the figure will complement any display that has Kanan once the Ghost is out.
Have this on preorder and he looks even better than i thiught he would. I have the bs version which is great but im loving this too. Great review man. Hope we see him again in live action at some point. He deserves more but chances are it will be in the comics where we woll see him
With all the great figures this year it’s going to be interesting to see which will be figure of the year? I wonder if they will get revan out before 2024!
Excellent review, and a nice dive into the details of the joints and softgoods. I think the sculpt captures Ruper Friend's likeness as the Grand Inquisitor very well. My one picking point comes from my appreciation for the REBELS animated series. That's the series where we first encountered the Grand Inquisitor. Very often when he dueled he would only use a single blade of his lightsaber, and the hilt would reconfigure from the ring to a single hand guard. Hasbro included multiple lightsabers with Reva which was true to her appearance in the OWK series. But they didn't do that with the Grand Inquisitor. I suspect that Hasbro's reasoning is that the OWK series didn't depict him using his lightsaber that way. I'm left wondering if we might run into a similar situation that we have with the TVC Grand Admiral Thrawn. The current release's likeness comes from the Black Series, but is meant to depict him in REBELS. No doubt there will be another Thrawn figure in the works to represent him as he appears in AHSOKA. Is it possible that Hasbro would revisit the Grand Inquisitor at a later date, but with REBELS specific details? Given Hasbro's penchant for parts re-use I would not put it past them. Nitpicking aside, I think it's a fantastic figure! I was able to find it in a store a few days ago and I'm thoroughly impressed with the end results.
I just got this in, today! Edit: big advantage the VC Grand Inquisitor has over the Black Series version is the Black Series one has no unlit hilt, so that figure can't hold his lightsaber well because of the pegs on the handle.
Liked the character in Rebels. Did not like him in Kenobi, all he did was threaten Reeva repeatedly but never disciplined her like a bad parent lol. But I agree with you, the figure itself looks really well done.
Such a good figure! Just wish we still had more…5th brother, 4th sister, etc. despite the flaws of the show. Hope the tooling can be reused at some point. Would guess they do a rebels version at some point just for simple re-use, but this one is pretty definitive. Thanks Tim
Now see, this is how they could have done Krennic's cape in soft goods. They could have done the collar and the around the shoulders bit in white plastic, and then had the rest of the cape part flow out of that in white fabric. Krennic's cape feels very structured and fitted around his neck and shoulders, and then flows down more freely from there. This would have been way better than the hard plastic cocoon that it looks like he's coming with.
Wow, this really turned out great. The Black Series figure was equally awesome, so I guess it scaled down to TVC perfection. Just wished Hasbro would’ve done the same for all the Bad Batch characters. Appreciate the review! 😬
I must say I am impressed with the look of the figure you could put him alongside the vc rebel’s figures and be good he looks more like the animated version
Great review as always, but the 3.75 scale figs are way to small & breaky,i prefer the 6 inch scale figs, more detailed & more accurate in my opinion, keep up the great work
Thanks for the review, but this is a figure I will never open. I will only have one because he comes in the case I ordered. That spinning lightsaber is still one of the most ridiculous things Filoni put in Star Wars. At least he didn't fly off like Mary Poppins in live action.
@@BossksBountyyou know third sister... I love Rupert friend style of talking... And this figure is surprisingly more accurate than the black series, he has sith eyes, whereas the black series version doesn't seem to. Such detail and sculpt for this scale. A definite must have
Andor is boring along with Ashoka as well but Andor is way better than Ashoka because Andor has a great story and good writing as well Ashoka is definitely the worse show
@@jshrhrgahhuehtnmppl Figure. Just because he might not have had the helmet in the live series shouldn't warrant an inclusion of a very nice accessory he wore in Rebels.
What a great figure from a horrific design. Costume designers for the Obi-Wan show should be fired from ever working in Hollywood again. I don't know what race of alien this is... but it certainly isn't a Pau'an like the original design.
Fun fact: he’s the first realistic Pau’an figure we’ve had since 2005.
Elite reference! Ironic I was looking what my two, HEAVY screen time Utapaun troopers would go for on eBay just today 😎
'xcept he looks nothing like Pau'an. Thanks disney.
@@AlecFortescuelooks like a ball
I honestly liked the show and I liked this character, very menacing.
I love it so much, such an amazing figure!!! I so wish they did the other inquisitors from the show!!
I have got this awesome figure and he is definitely a must have definitely if love the obi wan series he is a great figure
Hope to see the other Inquisitors very soon!
I would like to see the Second Sister aka Trilla from Jedi Fallen Order
@@isaiahvilla6691Deluxe Ninth Sister/Masana Tide would be incredible.
I’m glad they did a great job on this figure
Excellent pickups of the grand inquisitor figure keep collecting and may the force be with you all star wars fans the force is strong with this one bossk bounty
We deserve the Second sister in VC with such sculpt quality
Wow gotta say that is impressing me. They continue to innovate and we all benefit.
Just found him in the wild this morning, I agree great looking figure 👍
This is a case where soft goods wasn't the way to go, considering that the character is known for fighting without a cape.
On my copy, there's a frustrating gap between the cape and backpack that seems dreadfully fragile
Wasn’t a big fan of the show or how the character looked on live action but this figure looks great! Glad we’ve finally got him in the line
I liked it for the collection. I buy 🥳
The armor looks great
Yo! GI looks really good. Kudos to Hasbro to remaking that lightsaber. You know they wanted to use that Reva's lightsaber mold. Gr8 job Hasbro. Great job, Bossk
An extremely thorough review Tim. Great stuff buddy!
Nicely designed figure. Might be the first OWK figure I pick up!
This looks like a great figure, excellent head sculpt. I do prefer how he looked in Rebels though. Not to take anything away from this good looking figure.
I’m in Sydney, Australia and these don’t apparently hit shelves till 1st November, can’t wait to get him.
A very welcome figure to the collection, now let hope we will get the two other inquisitors asap
It is a decent figure i'm not gonna lie, excellent review Bossk.
This looks great! I do hope they do Fifth Brother and Fourth Sister as well… would also love if they went back to JFO to do a younger Cal and Trilla (Second Sister) as well
It'd be nice if Hasbro would give us their shuttle as well.
I loved when we used to get almost every background character & droid from the movies. It was fun world building... I'd use old TV packing Styrofoam as a ship or a cantina with characters setup to continue the adventures the movies left off at.
Great figure!
Hey Bossk (375istheway) on someone else’s iPad and I said this figure because I have it and really think you will be pleased with him. I think it’s a really nice figure!

Man I had intention of picking this one up, but after this review I think I’ll grab him

Looks good good, can't wait to get mine. My only complaint is that they should've included a single bladed saber as well.
What an incredible figure, can’t wait to get him in my collection. Great review as always Tim 👍
Cheers Scott
With all the great figures this year it’s going to be interesting to see which will be figure of the year? I wonder if they will get revan out before 2024!
I wonder if his boots can be reused for Aldani Cassian? Maybe they can do a 4-pack of the other guys from the heist using these lower legs.

Hi Tim, very nice figure and very cool video too ✨👍👍👍👍✨

Is his cape removable at all? Great review as always!!!
I might buy a second one to customize 🤔

Hey question for ask bossk do you think we will get a dearth malic sense we are getting a darth revan light and dark side?
Great review as always, but the 3.75 scale figs are way to small & breaky,i prefer the 6 inch scale figs, more detailed & more accurate in my opinion, keep up the great work
He only does VC reviews here mate
I’m gonna remove that cape and switch that head with the comic version
Otherwise, I love it

WE NEED MORE ALIENS, thank you
Hey Tim, do you know anyone inc yourself who has every vintage collection figure you can get?
Loads of people I would have thought.
@@BossksBounty sorry 😂😂I meant do you “know” anyone who has?
Don't like the G.I. Joe knickers much - I thought they had moved away from that look with the latest newly tooled figures? Still very Nice.
I think we should have yong Leia, she is the plotpoint of the Obi-Wan show.
We need young Leia, all the inquisitors,Tala and Owen, and that's all I'd need from that series.
The jedi cannot help what they are. Their compassion leaves a trail.
It’s like an itch!
@@BossksBountyyou know third sister... I love Rupert friend style of talking... And this figure is surprisingly more accurate than the black series, he has sith eyes, whereas the black series version doesn't seem to. Such detail and sculpt for this scale. A definite must have
His eyes are not red like they where in the show and in rebels they have done that with the black series one as well but it’s hasbro for you
I am clearly in the great minority in that Obi-Wan is my clear #1 favorite Disney+ show. It's not close for me, really.
Everyone like different things buddy. My favourite is Andor, but some people think its boring. What can you do lol
Andor is boring along with Ashoka as well but Andor is way better than Ashoka because Andor has a great story and good writing as well Ashoka is definitely the worse show
I hope they make Luke and Leia
Great review! Great figure! Would be good to get the Fifth Brother too (Fourth Sister didn’t do much)
He’s ok… but he’s no reva
Shame he comes with no helmet.
The figure or the character?
@@jshrhrgahhuehtnmppl Figure. Just because he might not have had the helmet in the live series shouldn't warrant an inclusion of a very nice accessory he wore in Rebels.

Honestly, the figure looks better than the actually appearance in the show
Not even 🙄
Thanks for being honest
Disney Star Wars is not Star Wars!
