    I had the Dewback and Tauntaun as a kid - so fun man! Loved this video. I never got a Wampa. I will eventually track one down. That Rancor is one epic beast!

    Those spring trapdoors for the creature's was nothing short of brilliant. The Wampa seriously looks like a friendly creature. The Rancor is something I definitely want to get someday, that was always one of my favorite "monsters," they did such a great job with it in RotJ.

    • @GQJedi

      You are right. The trap door was a nice feature for kids. Pure genius. Kenner crushed it with all the creatures they made in my opinion.

    Never owned a rancor when I was a kid, but as an adult one of my friends owned two, so he gave me his spare one. :)

    One of your best videos GQ Jedi. I love watching them on my big screen TV. I still need a Rancor, and I think I’ll have to whiten my Wampa, so I’ll watch that video next. Have you heard of Smith Lord Creations? They’re coming out with a Kenner un produced Bantha with all the Kenner likeness and even includes a hatch similar to Taun Taun and Dewback for a Sandperson!

    • @GQJedi
      @GQJedi  3 роки тому

      Thanks, amigo! Hope you find your Rancor. Yes, give that Wampa a bath, you'll love how he turns out! I have heard of SmithLord and have spoken with him a couple times. I missed the Bantha preorder however. Maybe I can still get one at some point. We'll see.

      Thank you, Sir! Appreciate it. The Creatures and aliens of Star Wars are part of the glue that holds it altogether. So many likable beings! Jabba as you just heard, is my boy! Expect to see him sometime soon.

    Might I recommend the Sandtrooper custom figure, which we never got, to be mounted on your Dewback. This looks incredible and more movie-like. Procustomfigures has 3 different ones-orange, white and black pauldrons with molded backpack. Also I was able to buy a set of the long snub-nosed rifles with strap to accompany him.

    • @GQJedi
      @GQJedi  Рік тому +1

      Great suggestion!! Do you know if ProCustomFigures still has any of these for sale?? And are they movable and feel similar to the Stan Solo figures? I ask because the SS figs feel as though Kenner made them back in the day.

    Yes I agree! Jabba is not a creature he is a sentient being, a character, a figure.
    I never wanted a Wampa as a kid, I thought the toy looked silly, but I got one a few years ago and it is great!

    I didn't quite understand Jabba was his own playset until I got older. I knew about the Dungeon playsets when I was a teenager, so when I first heard about a Jabba The Hutt playset not long after, I at first assumed it was the dungeon playset. Read about it and found out it was Jabba and his throne with Salacious.

    Yup, that saddle was an ingenious design. So much so, that Super 7 replicated it for their ReAction Battle-Cat and Panthor. Despite their limitations in posing, the figures will always be charming.🤘

    GQ, yes go to pro custom figures online. They have the sand troopers available and the quality is top notch. I can't tell the dif between SS and ProCustom. Ive bought many customs from both companies. Also Pro Custom has some cool Boba Fett and Rebel Pilots.

    • @GQJedi

Everything I've ordered shipped to me no problem. I'd say try one thing and if you like it, order more. Thats what I did. I have about 8 of their figures loose and carded.

    This is definitely my favorite video you've done yet!!! And I liked all the other ones so thats saying something. I loved this overview of the creatures, and id consider Jabba a character more than a creature so I personally don't think he should be in this video anyway. The Kenner saddle idea is one of the best things they did, up there with the cardboard playsets. Anyway, great video and this will be one I Definitely watch more than once.

    • @GQJedi
      @GQJedi  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks, bro!! Jabba is a character, definitely not a creature! I mean, he's a Hutt alright. But he's still a character worthy to be called a figure but too big for a blister card, so Kenner stuck him in a box. End of story. He's one of my favs too. Have 3 setups ;) The saddle move is smart. Create a proven method and rinse and repeat. Good business move. Great for us kiddies too! Thanks so much for your diehard support, my dude!! MTFBWY!
