I don’t know if anyone else noticed but phase 1 Rex now has two trigger finger hands instead of just one! I remember when I started collecting black series I was so frustrated when Captains/Commanders only came with two pistols and still had only one trigger finger hand.
Let’s be honest since it isn’t the rots re do , most of us after the leak knew they were pretty much re releasing the previous clone commander anakin but we got a awesome soft goods update with the amazing head sculpt, I’m fine with it, got Rex and anakin pre ordered , can just be excited about the ROTS obi-wan and anakin re makes
I was hoping for more than just 2 Black Series reveals with this stream, but I’m picking up both of the figures revealed, so I’m happy. I agree that if there aren’t more than 5 reveals, a social media post will do just fine for me
Right...not that you or I will be personally upset at these streams (we're not babies). But thinking about community reaction as a whole, it seems like they always shoot themselves in the foot by overhyping these events. -Justin
I think the main reason most of the plastic comma that we’ve gotten before limit articulation so much is the straps that the ARC troopers have from their belt to their holsters and the reason Rex is less inhibited is because he does not have those straps. I still would’ve preferred fabric for him, but I think it works fine.
@@OutOfTheBasement Hope so too, but... looking at the two mentioned figures, how likely is it really? Also, have we seen any leaks of ROTS Obi-Wan yet? Sorry to be a downer, I'm hopefully just worrying for no reason...
I was so happy to see we will finally have a Rex with two trigger finger hands! Finally the clone knows for duel wielding pistols will look good while doing it!!!
13:28 They looked wonky because these were REAL people playing as clones. They did that so that the clone actors had maximum range of motion. I still enjoyed seeing real people dressed as clones run into battle!
I've wanted a Clone Wars Anikan to go in my Clone Wars display since I started collecting, but with more of a Hayden Christiansen likeness. I think this is spot on Hayden as well. 100% getting this one. Didn't expect Figure It Out to cover the stream! Glad to hear your guys takes!
Awesome vid guys! Love to see these new figs entering the line Speaking of Rex, I just ordered him and crosshair off bbts!!! Two long time white whales of mine in the uk, so Chuffed!
Great video guys! As always, I’m looking forward to the stream on Sunday! I don’t know if being a black series collector would be as enjoyable if it weren’t for this channel. Your involvement with the community on a personal level is such a great thing to experience. It definitely adds another layer to being a collector. See you on Sunday!
BBTS put these up for pre-order last night (very random). I got the black series Anakin. Checked it this morning and he's sold out of course. Now if we can just get an updated Revenge of the Sith Anakin version, my collection is practically complete.
@@OutOfTheBasement I kind of guessed that would be the case. :( Ah well, if TVC doesn't at least get a new Sandtrooper based off of the excellent VC231 Stormtrooper mold and maybe even a new ANH-accurate Dewback (an excellent excuse to upgrade VC231 with barbell hips), then it's going to feel like 2025's "Return to Tatooine" was kind of a wasted opportunity.
Good eyes David, I didn't even notice that. 🤣 How are you doing my friend ? Myself and the wife are doing ok. Still waiting for our final meeting with company that will fix the house.(Patientce)
@@DavidEdge69 So few of us have patience these days because of our leaders refusing to do their jobs except for their favorites. They get anything they want. The Donster is trying to fix the last 4 years of devastation from worthless Joe 😴
I actually think Anakin’s head looks great, miles better than the Target. I wish he had the sculpted plastic robes but I’m going to be getting him regardless
I preordered anakin and Rex on BBTS but after watching this I canceled the anakin preorder. I just made a blind order cause it’s anakin, but now that I see all the details I think I’ll pass
I might be in the minority here, but I'm definitely grabbing that Anakin and passing on the Rex. I think the soft goods on Anakin look great and the phase 2 Rex can't be beat 🤘
Im personally ok with the reuse legs on the Anakin, but am I the only one who thinks that the arms, specially the shoulders, are to low compared to the rest of the body??
Baylan and Shin are so much better for their new TVC figures, save for the missing robes. At least the Rex does not have the Ahsoka clones proportions. But the 2018 Rex still has the best Rex headsculpt, photo-real and likeness.
*Lord Competent, aka Justin, arriving at Hasbro HQ in a company shuttle as he talks to the VP about the lackluster Anakin figure* ...I assure you Lord Competent my men are working as fast as they can! "Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them...." *he holds up his homemade VHS of aerobics* I tell you this figure will be retooled as planned. "The Emperor (Nate) does not share your optimistic appraisal of the situation." but he asks the impossible, I need more men! "Then perhaps you can tell him when he arrives." *The VP's face loses some color which is hard because They don't let them out much* The Emperor's coming here....? "That is correct, Commander, and he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress." We shall double our efforts! "I hope so Commander for your sake. The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am...." *Justin walks towards the elevators, humming the Imperial March as the 2 receptionists behind the nearby desk look at each other, confounded* ...Commander? SHHH, you wanna get sued?!
Hello Nate and Justin thanks for sharing the latest preorder figures Hasbro is bringing to the black series. I've pre-ordered both of these figures from Amazon, I wasn't able to get the Clone Wars version of Anakin and why say no to another version of Rex. Just have to wait till June for their release(unless they are delayed). Take care guys and have a good weekend. I'll catch you Sunday, Tom 👍
Honestly, the Vintage collection has an unfortunate habit of being better than the Black Series in quite a few of the figures they share. The Shin and Baylan are noticeable but look back at TVC IG-11. He looks like his on screen counterpart while his TBS figure is just IG-88 with a different paint job. This is Hasbro, they do the same figure in different size classes on a semi regular basis in their Transformers lines, so I know that it can be done in TBS/TVC.
I mean...we can both cherrypick and select specific examples to say, "My line is better." Ultimately I think TBS is the better line because we simply get more releases. There were more Hot Toys than TVC figures last year, and that's a problem. Sure TVC gets vehicles, playsets, dioramas, etc. but it seems like there's little to populate them with. -Justin
@ I only meant that the figures they share tend to be better. I do agree that TBS is a better series overall. I just wish they would let some of their figures cook a little longer.
I was watching Hasbro Pulse's website yesterday. The Black Series Anakin was sold out within an hour and Rex was sold out within five hours of the release. Neither are available on Amazon as of this comment.
Man I’m really excited for Anakin and Rex and I think the likeness on Anakin is pretty good but I can see what ya’ll are saying because sure it can be better but for what we got it’s pretty good so these will be pickups for sure
I won't replace the walmart Anakin/Obi for soft good tunics, but if they somehow end up under retail I'll def be head swapping! If not, I can happily live with just having the original releases.
Glad to see two figures from the final pipeline revealed. They're consistent with the leaks, so we generally knew what was coming. Envious of the TVC Baylon and Shin; might pick them up as openers. Thanks for the video!
The captain Rex figure is very nice but those holsters hmmm not sure about those they look kinda wonky, because of that I'm considering getting veils toys Commander Appo (2024) to use his soft goods kama and belt with the proper holsters but im not sure if they will fit and look good on captain Rex 🤔
Oh doof! (If I can avoid swearing) After seeing the hi-res pictures for General Skywalker, I honestly believe you got the short end of the stick and I feel terrible for you as a collector and consumer. Paying full price for an updated head, not the best thing… I could accept double-jointed pinned legs. Even the “new stuff” can’t hide the awful proportions. It’s disappointing that both Jedi Anakin and Lord Vader can’t get fully new tooling in TBS. I hope for you that the ROTS version of pre-damaged Vader will be up to snuff.
Hm, I know this Anakin is 90% a reissue, but... I still think about buying him, if only to make him into a custom Lord Vader with a good head sculpt. For instance, I think he'd look good with Clone Wars Maul legs and arms, post-Mustafar, but without being burned into a toast. Even getting Anakin's head sculpt for a custom is hard, cause they're expensive. The only cheap one has a smirk, so not really a good fit for a Sith Lord :D
I think I’ll probably end up with two Anakin’s, one for the mando era shelf, and one for kitbashing. That head is going on the old one. And then those arms are getting plugged into the ROTS figure, when it finally comes out, just so I can have a season 3-6 Anakin.
Rex is preorder 100%. Anakin..... i dont know yet. Might wait littlebit. I know i might be in minority here but i like older Anakin better. Even the headsculp. And definetly outfit is better on older release. Just like with Ringworld Mando ill wait for inhand reviews before ordering him. But its W that we getting Clone wars Anakin for those who missed him originally. Im just glad i have og one already
@@OutOfTheBasement He just seems off. When I look at his face, I'm not feeling Rex. I don't know if it's the hair or what. For some reason, the pictures with his helmet on make it seem like he's a TVC figure.
Definitely intrigued about this coming stream! In terms of the figures though, the criticism is valid and flaws need to be corrected in the future; but for me personally, they turned out good and warrant me to grab them. Heavily considering 2 Anakins! Not to mention that they also re-sculpted the armor and shoulder pads; so technically speaking, you will be able to get just a little more articulation from the arm/ butterfly joint. (Not that it was badly hindered from the start lol)
Both of these are easy pickups for me, I think I’ll be getting a second Anakin to swap heads on the older body with the sculpted robes since it will bug me that him and obi-wan won’t match. Praying for a brand new body to swap those awful 2013 legs off this figure
I’m likely gonna pass on this Anakin since it’s the same figure as the last just with a new head sculpt and soft goods instead of plastic. I can’t justify buying it again for that but I’m happy for those that couldn’t get the last copy. I’ll wait for the gloriously rumored rots version lmaoo😂
Overall very happy with these reveals. Only gripe is that Anakin is mostly reuse, and I think he’s long past due for an update, especially because it’s Anakin. That’s like if Marvel Legends was still releasing Spider-Man figures with arms and legs from 2013. Anyways my biggest takeaway from the stream is that some people in this community seriously need to chill. The comments on that video are not it.
Sorry but it's either supreme laziness or lack or respect for your characters but when Anakin, I would say the most important character in SW besides Luke which also can't be done right for some reason is reused parts from other figures previously released. The Acolyte got completely new sculpts while the OWK show used the same figures over and over. What gives? Wouldn't you want this character to receive all the love in regards to showcasing the brand? Such weird choices Hasbo.
Watch the stream if you want. If not all the pics and news will be available later. So you can consume media as you want. So say that even Marvel streams can just be a post too. Whatever. I’m excited about seeing the figs when they release. Rex is definite. Anakin? Maybe… head swaps can happen now with 3rd party creators. Eh. We’ll see.
To use Justin's favorite term, this Anakin is pure slop. I didn't realize how bad it is, until your video breakdown so thanks for that. If Mafex is doing this version I will just opt for that. Otherwise I guess I'll get this for the head and swap it to the old body like Nate said - but will the pegs match? I think Rex looks good; I'm actually not a fan of the soft goods kama b/c hasbro's soft goods are trash. If they used better quality fabric it would be okay; but I'm glad they made this one plastic.
Hasbro can’t be bothered to do Anakin justice, I can’t be bothered to buy. Pass. His legs and arms are massively out of proportion. Looks like a gorilla. Shame.
Anakins new head sculpt looks like a generic Disney prince.. doesn't look like Hayden to me.. the antiquated leg and ankle engineering makes this a pass! Rex looks cool though 🙌
The Disney prince you described, that would be the new SHF Anakin from Ahsoka LOL. This is definitely Hayden, I think people will come around when it finally releases.
@ that's true, but I think it's important to note that Nate and I don't speak for everyone. At the end of the day we are just two dudes making videos, we are just like everyone else. So I like that they also kind of acknowledge that because they have expressed how much they value the livestream chat, comment sections, etc. Community engagement is a priority. -Justin
@ ok yeah very fair point! I guess in my experience I tend to agree with both of your opinions but for others who might have other thoughts that makes sense!!
Also for those of us who keep the figures in the packaging I wish they’d have the helmet on and not off to the side it just looks goofy when you hang it on the wall
Man the one thing i needed was a better body! The legs on my clone wars release just suck! And i dont think this headsculpt is good enough to replace the old one such a shame for a hyped release . The ebbs and flows of this lone bruhs!
Rex has the same issue most helmeted figures in the line and that is that they’re removable or they have an unnecessary head with a glued-on helmet. TBS really needs to start including separately removable heads and helmets. This way you don’t get the disproportionate head to body problem or bobble head effect. It really bothers me a lot. Altho I don’t really collect much of TVC line, I know it has started doing this with some helmeted figures and it makes all the difference. I personally prefer the helmet size of the first versions of clones in the line. I’d prefer that smaller helmet size with the new updated bodies. Also maybe they can find a thinner plastic to make the shoulder pauldrons out of, so they too are more proportionately accurate and for the helmet head not to have restricted articulation, as it can with the thicker types. Plus, sometimes they just look too oversized for the body/torso. Pretty much I’d love it if they looked as the Ashoka series poster shows live action Rex, anatomically proportional body parts, especially the helmet size.
I only like phase 2 troopers I know sorry phase 1 fans but I’m at least very happy LEGO has changed to the phase 2 I love the LEGO troopers currently phase 2 is the best sorry lol
I don’t know if anyone else noticed but phase 1 Rex now has two trigger finger hands instead of just one! I remember when I started collecting black series I was so frustrated when Captains/Commanders only came with two pistols and still had only one trigger finger hand.
Personally I think the likeness is spot on for Anakin. Would be much better if w had modern knees, but I'll take it with that new headsculpt
Totally fair! -Justin
I dont know about "spot on" I've only seen hot toys really get Anakins likeness correct but it's all subjective and it's up to the spectator 🙌
Let’s be honest since it isn’t the rots re do , most of us after the leak knew they were pretty much re releasing the previous clone commander anakin but we got a awesome soft goods update with the amazing head sculpt, I’m fine with it, got Rex and anakin pre ordered , can just be excited about the ROTS obi-wan and anakin re makes
I was one of the first ones on ‘hasbroke’ but when I saw the Anakin head sculpt it was a hard pass.
I was hoping for more than just 2 Black Series reveals with this stream, but I’m picking up both of the figures revealed, so I’m happy. I agree that if there aren’t more than 5 reveals, a social media post will do just fine for me
Right...not that you or I will be personally upset at these streams (we're not babies). But thinking about community reaction as a whole, it seems like they always shoot themselves in the foot by overhyping these events. -Justin
I'm a certified Baby. I require a two day National Holiday and Carnival attached to each single reveal. And fireworks... lots and lots of fireworks.
I think the main reason most of the plastic comma that we’ve gotten before limit articulation so much is the straps that the ARC troopers have from their belt to their holsters and the reason Rex is less inhibited is because he does not have those straps. I still would’ve preferred fabric for him, but I think it works fine.
Welp. At least Hasbro didn't try to hide the pegs in the promo picks. Thanks for another great vid guys!
True that! Thanks for watching. -Justin
They couldn't even be arsed to give Leia new legs, so no big surprise about Anakin...
Really hoping the ROTS version will be all new. -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement Hope so too, but... looking at the two mentioned figures, how likely is it really? Also, have we seen any leaks of ROTS Obi-Wan yet? Sorry to be a downer, I'm hopefully just worrying for no reason...
Good to be back boys! Great reveals and excited for Sunday's stream
I was so happy to see we will finally have a Rex with two trigger finger hands! Finally the clone knows for duel wielding pistols will look good while doing it!!!
As primarily a TVC collector (I think I bought less than 10 Black Series figures last year) I appreciate the TVC coverage and Justin's "research".
13:28 They looked wonky because these were REAL people playing as clones. They did that so that the clone actors had maximum range of motion. I still enjoyed seeing real people dressed as clones run into battle!
Was glad to be able to pre order anakin and Rex. My first anakin figure!
Enjoy him! It's a little outdated at this point but it's still a fun figure for sure. -Justin
Surely clone wars obi wan will be done again once he has a live action appearance?
Will he have a live action appearance though? -Justin
I've wanted a Clone Wars Anikan to go in my Clone Wars display since I started collecting, but with more of a Hayden Christiansen likeness. I think this is spot on Hayden as well. 100% getting this one. Didn't expect Figure It Out to cover the stream! Glad to hear your guys takes!
I think both honestly overall look pretty good aside from alot of the parts. Great vid as always lads, and looking forward to Lazy Sunday!

Quality over quantity in a sense with these reveals. Only 2 more pipelined figures left now!
Let us get Moff Chineon! -Justin
i preordered anakin right away, hyped!
Finally an Anakin figure 🔥
Here he is! -Justin
I'm guessing the "Return to Tatooine" theme is planned for later in the year.
It’s been confirmed that “return to Tatooine” is not going to have much to do with black series
@@OutOfTheBasement I kind of guessed that would be the case. :(
Ah well, if TVC doesn't at least get a new Sandtrooper based off of the excellent VC231 Stormtrooper mold and maybe even a new ANH-accurate Dewback (an excellent excuse to upgrade VC231 with barbell hips), then it's going to feel like 2025's "Return to Tatooine" was kind of a wasted opportunity.
That Anakin is a disaster lol
JUSTIN!!! Are you aware someone has sewn different coloured arms on to your jumper? I'll "get them" for you, if you like!

Nice! -Justin
I’ve mostly gotten out of buying Black Series, but definitely plan to pick up Phase 1 Rex if I see him. Phase 1 clonetroopers are my favorite designs.
Same here 👍
I actually think Anakin’s head looks great, miles better than the Target. I wish he had the sculpted plastic robes but I’m going to be getting him regardless
Anakin isn't "all new from the ground up"? I didn't think that was allowed in Black Series anymore!

I do like the refresh on Anakin. I think they did Rex dirty. But, still glad to see new Clone Wars items being released.
Just curious, what're your issues with Rex? -Justin
@@OutOfTheBasement He just seems off. When I look at his face, I'm not feeling Rex. I don't know if it's the hair or what. For some reason, the pictures with his helmet on make it seem like he's a TVC figure.

The Acolyte got completely new sculpts while the OWK show used the same figures over and over. What gives? Wouldn't you want this character to receive all the love in regards to showcasing the brand? Such weird choices Hasbo.
No need to apologize! Everyone's thoughts are valid. You bring up excellent talking points. -Justin
They didn't even try to get ahead of the leaks!!! The fanstream was a waste of time!
I don't think there is any getting ahead of the leaks, TBH. I think they're cooked in that department. -Justin
Watch the stream if you want. If not all the pics and news will be available later. So you can consume media as you want. So say that even Marvel streams can just be a post too. Whatever. I’m excited about seeing the figs when they release. Rex is definite. Anakin? Maybe… head swaps can happen now with 3rd party creators. Eh. We’ll see.
To use Justin's favorite term, this Anakin is pure slop. I didn't realize how bad it is, until your video breakdown so thanks for that. If Mafex is doing this version I will just opt for that. Otherwise I guess I'll get this for the head and swap it to the old body like Nate said - but will the pegs match? I think Rex looks good; I'm actually not a fan of the soft goods kama b/c hasbro's soft goods are trash. If they used better quality fabric it would be okay; but I'm glad they made this one plastic.
Hasbro can’t be bothered to do Anakin justice, I can’t be bothered to buy. Pass. His legs and arms are massively out of proportion. Looks like a gorilla. Shame.
A lot of reuse for new media figures
Anakins new head sculpt looks like a generic Disney prince.. doesn't look like Hayden to me.. the antiquated leg and ankle engineering makes this a pass! Rex looks cool though 🙌
The Disney prince you described, that would be the new SHF Anakin from Ahsoka LOL. This is definitely Hayden, I think people will come around when it finally releases.
I think its incredibly unfortunate that they look so alike from their tv counterparts. Because Anikin and rex from the show look absolutely deformed.
Rex definitely does, but I thought Anakin looked great in the show (just not when they digitally de-age him). -Justin
They act like you guys don’t say what you think they need to do better all the time 😂 all someone at hasbro has to do is watch your videos
People at Hasbro definitely watch our stuff. -Justin
@ it’s interesting how they are directly asking for a critiquing video when you guys already provide that though
@ that's true, but I think it's important to note that Nate and I don't speak for everyone. At the end of the day we are just two dudes making videos, we are just like everyone else. So I like that they also kind of acknowledge that because they have expressed how much they value the livestream chat, comment sections, etc. Community engagement is a priority. -Justin
@ ok yeah very fair point! I guess in my experience I tend to agree with both of your opinions but for others who might have other thoughts that makes sense!!
Also for those of us who keep the figures in the packaging I wish they’d have the helmet on and not off to the side it just looks goofy when you hang it on the wall
Man the one thing i needed was a better body! The legs on my clone wars release just suck! And i dont think this headsculpt is good enough to replace the old one such a shame for a hyped release . The ebbs and flows of this lone bruhs!
Talking about the ani that is
Rex has the same issue most helmeted figures in the line and that is that they’re removable or they have an unnecessary head with a glued-on helmet. TBS really needs to start including separately removable heads and helmets. This way you don’t get the disproportionate head to body problem or bobble head effect. It really bothers me a lot. Altho I don’t really collect much of TVC line, I know it has started doing this with some helmeted figures and it makes all the difference. I personally prefer the helmet size of the first versions of clones in the line. I’d prefer that smaller helmet size with the new updated bodies. Also maybe they can find a thinner plastic to make the shoulder pauldrons out of, so they too are more proportionately accurate and for the helmet head not to have restricted articulation, as it can with the thicker types. Plus, sometimes they just look too oversized for the body/torso. Pretty much I’d love it if they looked as the Ashoka series poster shows live action Rex, anatomically proportional body parts, especially the helmet size.
You are 100% spot-on. Alt heads/helmets is one of my biggest wants with this line. -Justin
I only like phase 2 troopers I know sorry phase 1 fans but I’m at least very happy LEGO has changed to the phase 2 I love the LEGO troopers currently phase 2 is the best sorry lol
Phase I always gave me more of that "space fantasy military" aesthetic. -Justin
