Apollo Creed, Dillon and Greef Karga all start out a villain, but end up the good guy. As much as i love him in Predator, he was excellent in the Mandalorian
A carded TVC Pre-Cyborg Grievous (Expanded Universe) would be great. Also Hammerhead and Pong Krell (Clone Wars) - Carded TVC figures (No boxed "deluxe" versions).
Hey Tim! Congrats on the 4 years of Ask Bossk’s Bounty. I realized there are 52 weeks in a year. 52 x 4 = 208. Little detail. Anyway, no question, just congrats and thanks for everything you do!
Love the call out to Action Jackson. Such an underrated 80's movie filled with fun action and LOTS of explosions. Keep up the good work Bossk. RIP Carl Weathers.
I love the idea of having an AdmiralTrench. He only recently showed up in Galxay of Heroes (though he's a pain to farm) and he looks great. Embo's a solid choice too. Seems like he'd turn out well. He'd require about a 60-70% tooling and would probably sell really well. Make 'em & double him up in the box, Hasbro!
Q: - So i have a two pack idea. Based on your "i'd like some background/animated stuff but it wouldn't sell" What about a Satine Kyrze her finale outfit when Obiwan was attempting to rescue her.. but in a Two pack with Obiwan in the Mandalorian armor- its a easy repack of the Maul trooper with a Kenobi head and a lightsaber! As much as i loathe the two packs this might be perfect. I'd also love to see one of the Speeders from TCW, they could do a Nightowl female on one, Along with Bo-katan in her younger look on a cardback using sabines body?
I'm all for that! Obi Wan in Mandalore was a great story arc, I want more figures and vehicles from that period. We definitely need those Mando air speeders.
@@lamarravery4094 Its just a shame we didn't see them used in the final battle on mando, otherwise i expect we would've got them by now. They Seat Bo and Koska pretty well but the male tvc figures are abit too large, it'd also be a great way of getting out a variant figure. Release the Blue/Grey nightowl on standard speeder (female) and Grey/Blue on a cardback (there is one coming) Then Re-release like the speeder a Maul Red coloured one with Red/black Supercommando (female) and release a Black/Red on a card. That'd give us all a reason to grab a couple of speeders, and if they wanna later release the speeder paint jobs in a four pack, two of each (annouced along side the speeder release) that way we can buy a couple of speeders- and army build them later. But i dream of things that wont happen lol Would be the best way to get Obiwans girlfriend done though and anyway they release the speeder would open it up to custom.
Apollo Creed was awesome same as Predetor & Action Jackson but I loved him in the Adam Sandler movie Happy Gilmore where he plays the golf teacher called Chubbs Peterson & he wrestled an alligator but lost his hand & so had a hook arm!! That role was bloody hilarious I loved him as that character. I wish he had done more comedy roles cause he was so damn hilarious!! RIP he was a legend of an actor for many of us growing up watching him in Rocky & Predator movies etc!!
I am very much a proponent of a TVC Figure Dream Pack of Cantina Aliens! And I think if Hasbro does that, it should be in conjunction with a separate offering of a TVC Cantina (think the Boba Fett's throne room release). It's all about coordination though.
Hi BB, QFNW: if you were given the chance to complete a rebel pilots X Wing 4 pack. Which pilots would you choose? Thanks for keeping this hobby engaging and fun.
🤔Question for next week BB, with the recent Darth Reven & Jedi Reven, HK-47 & also the reissue of Starkiller which all where top of the list for most collectors & did extremely well in sales which is always great for the TVC line. I think this is an indication that Hasbro should give us more Expanded Universe characters from comics like Exar Kun & Darth Bane that I want to see in TVC as do many collectors. Any chance we could see more figures like this in the line this year & what if any do you want from EU?
Hello Bossk & Co.. I have a question for you to pass on to your insider contacts at Hasbro.. We've had 47 years, hundreds of variations, 300 plus vintage collections and yet we still can't fill the cantina with aliens.. what in the world is going on?? Forget finish the 96.. let us fill the cantina!
QFNW: For a couple of weeks running Hasbro has dropped some new products by surprise. And it's been refreshing and welcome. While we knew about the "Escape from Order 66" 4-pack, the E-Wing was a complete surprise. What are your thoughts on this style of product drop that doesn't immediately following a Hasbro livestream? Do you expect that we might get another reveal this week? And do you think it would be something we've seen announced before, or another surprise item? Side note - with the Bad Batch season 3 premiere this coming Wednesday, it seems like an opportunity for a great surprise product drop related to the series.
Hey BB, Thanks for being such an advocate for us TVC fans. I look forward to listening to your show every Sunday night. Why do you think Hasbro decided to announce that they’re celebrating all the prequels this year, versus focusing solely on the anniversary of TPM like they did with RoTJ in 2023? Do you think there’s still some reluctance based on the TMP 3D roll-out? I’m really hoping we’ll get newly sculpted figures for Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon from TPM, since I’m really not a fan of their current TVC iterations. Are there any TPM updates or new sculpts you’d like to see?
QFNW: Could you see hasbro doing the Naboo royal starfighter as a haslab vehicle. I’ve always wanted an updated one as the original doesn’t hold up the best and is quite underscaled. I feel like it would work well as there are so many characters that could go with it and so much playability.
QFNW: With 2024 being the final season of The Bad batch, do you think we will finally get the rest of Clone Force 99 (The Bad Batch) in the TVC line?? We already got Hunter, but there has yet to be Tech, Wrecker, Echo, Crosshair, and Omega in the TVC 3.75" line.
I wish I was still interested enough in Star Wars that I was still collecting the figures, because the ones in the classic style packs are extremely tempting, even now. The PT killed it for me though I'm afraid. I still like the OT though, especially ANH and ESB, and it's interesting to keep up to date on the releases of the aforementioned figures in the classic packaging.
Hey, great video as always Bossk! I'm 100% with you that Oola is my top "Long Shot" pick for a character I think the line desperately NEEDS but they will never make. I would love it if they did like a Jabba's Palace 3 or 4 pack (maybe two needed repacks and two new sculpts) as a Pulse exclusive or (even better) a online exclusive and worked a new Oola in one of the new figures. They could even use parts from her to make other secondary or back ground characters like Garsa Fwip (TBOBF) or Ayy Vida (AOTC) if they wanted to do a deep cut pack for Prequel fans. I mean, if Disney/Lucasfilm is going to continue the "tradition" of putting at least one female Twi'lek in every Star Wars show and movie, for us to spot, they can't ignore that Oola was the first. Online exclusives would be the best way of getting the figure into the hands of collectors while avoiding negative PR for making a "sexist" character. (which I still don't get since around here Star Wars figures are usually in the same isle as WWE and Marvel legends, and WWE has literal figures of female wrestlers in lingerie, and Marvel keeps making Emma Frost...)
Hey Tim - Congrats on 4 years and thanks for your commitment to TVC!!! With the rumored Blurrg ahead of us, do you think Hasbro is making a commitment to beasts? And which one would you like to see next?
QFNW: There seems to be an almost obsessive belief in the TVC community that a Mos Eisley Cantina playset should be a Haslab campaign. But having seen the way Hasbro made the Boba Fett Throne Room, with wider availability of that set, along with the probably demand for a Cantina, that Throne Room sales model seems like it might be a preferable way to go. What do you think of offering the Cantina in that format AND having a coordinated Haslab campaign for a Cantina Alien figure dream pack? A figure dream pack like that could possibly include some of the biggest deep cut characters from the Cantina. And given the way the mainline has been planned over the past several years it seems like one of the few ways to get some of those characters.
Hi Tim, Qfnw: Do you have any idea when they will announce the next Haslab based on previous anouncements of other Haslab projects? I really hope do a Imperial Shuttle. The 2006 version is a bit out dated.
My favourite obscure background character would be Zuvio from TFA. I really wish they would have given him his 5 seconds of fame and not cut him! Would have been a call back to classic SW random alien appearances. Oh well. Guess I’ll just have to cradle my TFA 3.75 5POA version for now…
Would love a new Quinlan Vos both for Vin & BS! One wish that will never happen though is the Tonnika Sisters! For new media: Where are Mig Mayfields crew!
I remember getting Mamow Nadon in the Saga collection and being blown away, I thought he was the definitive version. Then TVC came along and it looks like Hasbro could add more articulation to him. But the saga collection version was pretty well done, but if he had more articulation, even better.
Rediculous question for next week. Do you think Hasbro would consider making Mods from Tatooine? Like build a mod / scooter packs? Have you seen Quadrophenia?
Howdy BB, it has come to my attention that there are annual excellent Star Wars-related conventions in the UK where you can meet the various background actors from the Trilogy. Have you gone to these, and who have you encountered that had the best experience meeting?
Hi Tim. Great seeing Steve Evans giving us VC#'s for the upcoming figures! Do you think this will be an upcoming thing on reveals? Giving us the VC's#. Maybe if Hasbro did this, they would stop making mistakes with duplicate numbering or skipping numbers for years, I'm talking to you, VC271!!
I didn't really like the Obi-Wan Kenobi series as well, but now that i already have a lot of figures from the show, i wonder why they still haven't done Little Leia yet? She's one of the main characters and is badly missing from my display.
Hello Bossk and thanks again for this great space you have created. It's nice to see some steady vehicle releases within the past few years but the E-wing seemed to be a bit of a surprise. The ship will be a great addition but what do you think will be the next creation by Hasbro in regards to vehicles. I feel like the E-Wing idea was pulled from the polls that were done in early 2023 via FB groups and perhaps that will give us an idea? I know there are a lot of questions coming to you so I am going to add another incase this one gets through. Do you think that the Ghost ship and the Sail Barge are good examples of the maximum size a Haslab could be, or is there a possibility that a release could be larger? Until next week!
Another great episode Bossk. QFNW, with your new room pretty much laid out with all your great items, do you have it insured? And if you do, is it as a whole collection or individual pieces? (a boring question I know, but a valid one).
Hey Bossk, big fan of channel, keep it up. QFNW, How would you feel about Haslab doing the Outrider? That's a vehicle that really could use an Update. Considering the great job they did with updating the Falcon I think they could The Outrider as well. maybe have some characters from Shadows of the Empire as tier unlocks. Any thoughts?
I agree with you that there are a lot of Prequel characters more prominent than Daultay Dofine (even if they’re not major characters) who would be great additions to the line. In fact, #1 on my March Madness list is Wat Tambor.
The 2019/2020 Hasbro livestreams had a logo that said “the original ninety-six.” Hasbro never used the term #FinishThe96, but I started using that term and created that logo for the @SWTVC posts. You debated using that or #CompleteThe96 in your video series but ultimately opted to use #FinishThe96 as well and here we are today. Hopefully Hasbro keeps knocking them out over the next few years, but it’s not something they’ve ever directly committed to finishing, and unfortunately Chris Reiff recently spoke about how difficult getting FX-7 into the line would be these days.
Hey BB,thank you for answering my question! TBH i kinda forgot about Hasbro's repack "obsession" ,so with that in mind I would have to agree with you...Still I hope if we get a repack they do a slight retooling or at least a photo real head! Keep up the good work with the channel buddy!
I personally am all set with more clones. The officers would be cool for people to add to their clone collection. Stormies for me lol. But yeah no Nute Gunray, half the podracers and other characters from that scene, no Boss Nass although the Gungans get a bad rep from Jar Jar...who could of been ok but they just went too much on the "Goofy" side for me. More aliens and droids. They're the most fun to display
Just rewatched the first two seasons of Bad Batch and I love it! I skipped a couple of 'filler' episodes but on the whole it always heats up towards the latter end of the season. I have a feeling (hope) that s3 will be more focused as it is the finale.
QFNW. How did you crack the case of the new filming set up camera focus issues? Everything is looking great lately. (If you have told us before, I either forgot or didn’t see it)
I think Hasbro will be making a mistake if they don't have some TPM representation in TVC this year for the anniversary. Aurra Sing is a no brainer given the secondary market prices of that figure. Queen Amidala like Retro is getting or even return to Naboo gown from Legacy BD08 would be a nice addition. Any of the Jedi council would also be a nice addition like Depa Billaba. Yaddle was also in Legacy, and would be a nice easy release on a TPM card. They don't have to do an entire wave of 12 like they did in 1.0 days, but they definitely should not underestimate the fact that kids who grew up on TPM are now 30+ years old with money to spend. Be smart about it, and pick 4-5 really good figures collectors would buy.
Hi Bossk, QFNW: How likely do you think it is that Hasbro will ever release a Ralph Mcquarrie concept art series in the vintage collection? I recently picked up my first Gentle Giant jumbo figure of Darth Vader and absolutely love it. The Black series two pack of Darth Vader and bald Obi Wan also looks great. I think a lot of Star Wars fans have an affinity for his art as it was a fascinating peak behind the curtain, and it revealed what an important person Mcquarrie was in the creation of Star Wars itself! Concept versions of Luke, Han, Obi Wan, Vader, C3P0, Stormtrooper, Yoda, and Boba Fett would surely sell out. Plus with card back art being important for us TVC collectors, you have some of the most iconic art to choose from...would you be interested in a series like this?
Hi BB! Not sure if this is a worthy question, but QFNW: Given Hasbro's recent earnings report and the loses they've been taking with their Licensed product, how much do you think they need to lose in order to give up the Star Wars (and maybe Marvel) licenses with Disney? I would imagine once they have bled their current customers for everything they can get and begin to show negative profit margins, they will eventually give it up. More and more collectors are tailoring their purchases to specific movies/genres or leaving the hobby altogether. I've personally been contemplating selling off my Black Series OT collection and I only buy OT TVC products which they are making less and less of these days.
I got the E-Wing for one reason... The carded KE4-N4 (that's right it's/her name is Keana) And it's going right next to a Retro R2.. (can't afford the original) which was the very first Star Wars figure I got in 1978 at the age of 10 (wish I'd saved that one I tell you)
QFNW. Do you believe that the reason for first 96 not being released yet is because Hasbro is afraid that some collectors will walk away from collecting TVC due to finally having what they wanted from this line?
QFNW: i just realized the gamorean guard has hair, can they make a Sabine with long rainbow hair with real hair like how the gamorean guard has real hair around his waist, and have her have a removable bike helmet and a hover bike, like when she goes under the E wing
I always look forward to your Vids uploads on Sundays BB. QFNW: do you think its possible hasbro to make a AT-TE. I personally would think it be new tooling because this is the idea, I've got an idea for the next has lab project here me out haha. The AT-TE from the clone wars show S1E21 liberty on ryloth. With AT-RT deployment like the show, figure could include commander ponds and new tooled clones. Just a thought, I'm almost done with my vehicle collection 😅
Hi Tim, another stellar episode of ABB; QFNW - with the 25th anniversary of TPM fast approaching Hasbro are set to release another Retro style figures celebrating the prequel trilogy (all 3 episodes), do you think they’ll add the anniversary logo to all prequels and do you think they’ll do the same for any TVC figures released this year? example Count Dooku (in hand packaging not available yet).
Hey Tim, question for next week…. Do you think there’s a chance we could get a multipack of The Clone Wars D-Squad consisting of 4 astromechs, a pit droid and the tiny Colonel Gascon since they have already announced the Amazon 4 pack with Ashoka and 3 astromechs? It would be cool if the Colonel Gascon could fit inside the top of M5-BZ and we could get some more droids into TVC. Thanks and keep up the great content.
Hello there, BB. Excellent video as always. QFNW. What Imperial Stormtrooper variant that appeared in video games, comic books and novels instead of the movies and television shows do you wish would be made for TVC? I, for example, want an Imperial Stormsniper. Essentially a standard Imperial Stormtrooper with a blue pauldron and sniper rifle. Thank you in advance.
Hey BB - would you be interested in a new Emperor’s Wrath Vader using the Dark Times mold? I know we have a TVC already but I do love that new Vader mold.
Hi BB, QFNW- (more discussion point) What are your thoughts on a troop builder pack - with the figures loose and with less articulation but in pre moulded stances (elbow bent to holder blaster etc) as an alternative to buying on card troopers at a lower cost. ps: my son gets a kick out of you reading these can you give him a shout out (Thomas) by asking him to stop losing hands helmets and weapons of our loose figures. Cheers
Hi BB. QFNW Just watched your announcement of the escape (66) Hasbro seemed to be All about the droids and repacks at the moment. Who do you think is driving this idea. Whilst it’s good and a new focus , it’s feels a little “ fill the the word of your choice” Should we be accepting of this? Also just an observation is it right that the price of a droid should be the same as a figure? I personally don’t think so. It’s not that I’m being all negative, but it’s good that we challenge or ask these types of questions. Thanks G
Hi question for next week. Have you ever noticed on VC 205 Empire strikes back Lando, that the legs crack if you move them too much do you think this is a quality control issue or just my copy love to hear your thoughts on it.
Thank you, Tim, for more great work. QFNW which clone commander or captain would you like to see done in TVC? I would really like to see Fox even though he’s probably the worst commander and least liked clone. Then they could do a four pack of shock troopers and one could have a removable pauldron. I’d like to know your thoughts.
I like this idea for four pack of shock troopers I need VC110 he need removable pauldron red please paint ankles I like this idea vc45 need CAPTAIN REX not binocular rex they can do 501st Legion clone troopre again and this time Hasbro didn't apply the blue stripe/band around this clone's wrist. CAPTAIN RE needs new helmets
? about 501st Legion clone troopre vc45 one Hasbro didn't apply the blue stripe/band around this clone's wrist. is there any versions with it on this again one. this ? about vc45 versions not new one
Tim Good tidings! Since I have onl or heard of you for the last year and a half I have enjoyed streaming past episodes! So I came across an episode that you were enjoying the first two episodes of obi won and you seemed hopeful for the series! So my question is what episode or what happened that made yo not enjoy the series overall. My self I wish the last fight was a tie! Thank you for all the great content! I was 8;when Star Wars came out and I love the series!
Hi Bossk's bounty do you think that Hasbro will ever make a new vintage collection jedi temple guard with the new articulation,the only one that they made was in the star wars rebels line.
Question, for next week, I’ve asked us in several of your videos, but I’m going to ask again. Do you think Hasbro, Will ever make the Rebel U-wing fighter with the four seats like in rogue one? Cause I bought this ship back when the movie came out, but it only came with the cockpit, so is it possible we could get a remake of this ship, but with the four seats? Also, another question I have, is, what is Hasbro’s email address, because I have a couple of complaints that I would like for them to consider in the future
I suspect the issue with the E-wing is because of the EU fan fare more than anything else tbh. The newer appearance in Ahsoka just gave them a good excuse not to release it as EU, i suspect we'll be seeing a Tie defender before next year! - that is my call.. could be wrong but i have a feeling. If they do the Delta (Episode 2 one obiwan flew) or the Eta (episode 3) i think it'd go along side something like Order 66 packs, do a 6 monthly order 66 pack, with the Jedi's starship? I am far too hopeful thinking we'd get a bunch of them repainted.
Whatever happened, LEGO and Hasbro got the same memo there. Either way, I'm good - it's an incredible looking craft (that doesn't in anyway whatsoever look like a Colonial Viper whatsoever 😆) 🤞 for those paint apps
@@TonyStark-uu9us Haha, i do also love the vipers from BSG the OG looks better though imo. Hopefully we get some more vehicles but i think the next one will def be OT based. At a guess.. maybe Gunship re-release next? hopefully the version with the closing doors.
QFNW. Hey Bossk, when will the Dooku wave finally land on our doorsteps ?, it’s been 4 months nearly since the UK received the Revan wave. I worry that we’re going to have a very expensive September again like last year due to this backlog.
Was just wondering "When's Bossk normally upload his videos.." Sabine 2pk still haven't even had word back from Hasbro pulse, I asked John to pass a message along to any contacts over the weekend, i can hope that Tuesday the 13th (Monday for USA) will result in at least something but.. I'm going to have to prepare something else, Also had a wave cancelled on my local store figure due this month just refunded last night, no info yet why hasbro pulled stock. Hope your week is doing better.
I Don't think they'll update Grevious because its pretty hard to get him more perfect than he is. Improvements could be made, but none that really effect the figure one improvement they could do is the Feet, and a proper bloody Peg hole for a stand that he can get onto. But in terms of spinning his wrists with ball joints, i think his four arms are the same issues they pretend to have with female characters, they just wont make plastic that small with the worse kind of plastic they're using now. Is it possible? yeah somebody other than Hasbro or Hasbro 10 years ago could've made that figure using good plastic. Now days that Grevious is as good as we will ever get.. i suggest people Blue tack him to a larger stand and hope your room doesn't get as hot as mine!
I also feel like we should Demand/Request? make clear.. that if they are going to keep doing the two packs, which cost us MORE. One of those figures MUST be almost brand new, A repack with a recolour is not good enough. The only time a Recolour and a repack is acceptable is some of the figures from Legacy collection, if they wanna repack Jaina/Jacen in a two pack.. Sure. Spacetrooper? Alright. Otherwise bugger off and give us more new molds! or better kitbashing!
@@johnathanjones9216 Oh be quiet. Hasbro often don't know what they're doing that's why people like Bossk are so important, and all these fan made polls are important. I doubt anyone who collects TVC agrees that not releasing Shin or Baylan was them knowing what they're doing. Hasbro have a habit of making bad choices which effect their sales, which effect us so we need to try to keep them accountable, not Shill for a giant company. I'll praise them when New Zealand gets the same offerings that anywhere else in the world does.
Go ahead and rip Obi Wan.....it was terrible. It totally crapped on the first movie - and Darth Vader can't jump a line of fire..??!!?? and can't walk around it???? Terrible writing.
Weekly reminder that we should finish the 96 and get modern tooling for ANH main heroes. Thank you for all you do.
Apollo Creed, Dillon and Greef Karga all start out a villain, but end up the good guy. As much as i love him in Predator, he was excellent in the Mandalorian
I love this comment
@@theblacksheep6141 I never realised that till the other day.
Hammerhead was my first ever SW figure. I have no recollection of why, but it is what it is ±!
A carded TVC Pre-Cyborg Grievous (Expanded Universe) would be great.
Also Hammerhead and Pong Krell (Clone Wars) - Carded TVC figures (No boxed "deluxe" versions).
Hey Tim! Congrats on the 4 years of Ask Bossk’s Bounty. I realized there are 52 weeks in a year. 52 x 4 = 208. Little detail. Anyway, no question, just congrats and thanks for everything you do!

@@lamarravery4094 Its just a shame we didn't see them used in the final battle on mando, otherwise i expect we would've got them by now.
They Seat Bo and Koska pretty well but the male tvc figures are abit too large, it'd also be a great way of getting out a variant figure.
Release the Blue/Grey nightowl on standard speeder (female) and Grey/Blue on a cardback (there is one coming)
Then Re-release like the speeder a Maul Red coloured one with Red/black Supercommando (female) and release a Black/Red on a card.
That'd give us all a reason to grab a couple of speeders, and if they wanna later release the speeder paint jobs in a four pack, two of each (annouced along side the speeder release) that way we can buy a couple of speeders- and army build them later.
But i dream of things that wont happen lol
Would be the best way to get Obiwans girlfriend done though and anyway they release the speeder would open it up to custom.
Apollo Creed was awesome same as Predetor & Action Jackson but I loved him in the Adam Sandler movie Happy Gilmore where he plays the golf teacher called Chubbs Peterson & he wrestled an alligator but lost his hand & so had a hook arm!! That role was bloody hilarious I loved him as that character. I wish he had done more comedy roles cause he was so damn hilarious!! RIP he was a legend of an actor for many of us growing up watching him in Rocky & Predator movies etc!!

Why do you think Hasbro decided to announce that they’re celebrating all the prequels this year, versus focusing solely on the anniversary of TPM like they did with RoTJ in 2023?

That'd be a great Haslab. The Bad Batch crew with the Marauder, I definitely get that. Maybe a tier would be Sid the Trandoshan handler?

I'm 100% with you that Oola is my top "Long Shot" pick for a character I think the line desperately NEEDS but they will never make. I would love it if they did like a Jabba's Palace 3 or 4 pack (maybe two needed repacks and two new sculpts) as a Pulse exclusive or (even better) a online exclusive and worked a new Oola in one of the new figures.
They could even use parts from her to make other secondary or back ground characters like Garsa Fwip (TBOBF) or Ayy Vida (AOTC) if they wanted to do a deep cut pack for Prequel fans.
I mean, if Disney/Lucasfilm is going to continue the "tradition" of putting at least one female Twi'lek in every Star Wars show and movie, for us to spot, they can't ignore that Oola was the first. Online exclusives would be the best way of getting the figure into the hands of collectors while avoiding negative PR for making a "sexist" character. (which I still don't get since around here Star Wars figures are usually in the same isle as WWE and Marvel legends, and WWE has literal figures of female wrestlers in lingerie, and Marvel keeps making Emma Frost...)
Hey Tim - Congrats on 4 years and thanks for your commitment to TVC!!! With the rumored Blurrg ahead of us, do you think Hasbro is making a commitment to beasts? And which one would you like to see next?
Great stuff as always BB!! Thanks so much for answering my question!! Keep up the great work 👍
QFNW: There seems to be an almost obsessive belief in the TVC community that a Mos Eisley Cantina playset should be a Haslab campaign. But having seen the way Hasbro made the Boba Fett Throne Room, with wider availability of that set, along with the probably demand for a Cantina, that Throne Room sales model seems like it might be a preferable way to go.
What do you think of offering the Cantina in that format AND having a coordinated Haslab campaign for a Cantina Alien figure dream pack? A figure dream pack like that could possibly include some of the biggest deep cut characters from the Cantina. And given the way the mainline has been planned over the past several years it seems like one of the few ways to get some of those characters.
Hi Tim,
Qfnw: Do you have any idea when they will announce the next Haslab based on previous anouncements of other Haslab projects? I really hope do a Imperial Shuttle. The 2006 version is a bit out dated.
My favourite obscure background character would be Zuvio from TFA. I really wish they would have given him his 5 seconds of fame and not cut him! Would have been a call back to classic SW random alien appearances. Oh well.
Guess I’ll just have to cradle my TFA 3.75 5POA version for now…
Would love a new Quinlan Vos both for Vin & BS!
One wish that will never happen though is the Tonnika Sisters!
For new media: Where are Mig Mayfields crew!
I remember getting Mamow Nadon in the Saga collection and being blown away, I thought he was the definitive version. Then TVC came along and it looks like Hasbro could add more articulation to him. But the saga collection version was pretty well done, but if he had more articulation, even better.
Rediculous question for next week. Do you think Hasbro would consider making Mods from Tatooine? Like build a mod / scooter packs? Have you seen Quadrophenia?
Hopefully not, they were a good idea that was terribly executed. Way better figures should be explored before them
Thanks Tim you are one in a million.
Howdy BB, it has come to my attention that there are annual excellent Star Wars-related conventions in the UK where you can meet the various background actors from the Trilogy.
Have you gone to these, and who have you encountered that had the best experience meeting?
Hi Tim. Great seeing Steve Evans giving us VC#'s for the upcoming figures! Do you think this will be an upcoming thing on reveals? Giving us the VC's#. Maybe if Hasbro did this, they would stop making mistakes with duplicate numbering or skipping numbers for years, I'm talking to you, VC271!!
They have been on occasions, just depends how far the figure is out
I didn't really like the Obi-Wan Kenobi series as well, but now that i already have a lot of figures from the show, i wonder why they still haven't done Little Leia yet? She's one of the main characters and is badly missing from my display.
Hello Bossk and thanks again for this great space you have created. It's nice to see some steady vehicle releases within the past few years but the E-wing seemed to be a bit of a surprise. The ship will be a great addition but what do you think will be the next creation by Hasbro in regards to vehicles. I feel like the E-Wing idea was pulled from the polls that were done in early 2023 via FB groups and perhaps that will give us an idea?
I know there are a lot of questions coming to you so I am going to add another incase this one gets through. Do you think that the Ghost ship and the Sail Barge are good examples of the maximum size a Haslab could be, or is there a possibility that a release could be larger?
Until next week!
Another great episode Bossk. QFNW, with your new room pretty much laid out with all your great items, do you have it insured? And if you do, is it as a whole collection or individual pieces? (a boring question I know, but a valid one).
Hey Bossk, big fan of channel, keep it up. QFNW, How would you feel about Haslab doing the Outrider? That's a vehicle that really could use an Update. Considering the great job they did with updating the Falcon I think they could The Outrider as well. maybe have some characters from Shadows of the Empire as tier unlocks. Any thoughts?
A larger Outrider would be awesome. I hope we get that.
I agree with you that there are a lot of Prequel characters more prominent than Daultay Dofine (even if they’re not major characters) who would be great additions to the line. In fact, #1 on my March Madness list is Wat Tambor.
The 2019/2020 Hasbro livestreams had a logo that said “the original ninety-six.” Hasbro never used the term #FinishThe96, but I started using that term and created that logo for the @SWTVC posts. You debated using that or #CompleteThe96 in your video series but ultimately opted to use #FinishThe96 as well and here we are today. Hopefully Hasbro keeps knocking them out over the next few years, but it’s not something they’ve ever directly committed to finishing, and unfortunately Chris Reiff recently spoke about how difficult getting FX-7 into the line would be these days.
Hey BB,thank you for answering my question! TBH i kinda forgot about Hasbro's repack "obsession" ,so with that in mind I would have to agree with you...Still I hope if we get a repack they do a slight retooling or at least a photo real head!
Keep up the good work with the channel buddy!
I personally am all set with more clones. The officers would be cool for people to add to their clone collection. Stormies for me lol. But yeah no Nute Gunray, half the podracers and other characters from that scene, no Boss Nass although the Gungans get a bad rep from Jar Jar...who could of been ok but they just went too much on the "Goofy" side for me. More aliens and droids. They're the most fun to display
Just rewatched the first two seasons of Bad Batch and I love it! I skipped a couple of 'filler' episodes but on the whole it always heats up towards the latter end of the season. I have a feeling (hope) that s3 will be more focused as it is the finale.
If they do another version of Finn I'd like it to be where he woke up in TLJ in the bacta suit.
QFNW. How did you crack the case of the new filming set up camera focus issues? Everything is looking great lately.
(If you have told us before, I either forgot or didn’t see it)
I'm cool with the E-wing, it's not a re-pack/re-release.
I think Hasbro will be making a mistake if they don't have some TPM representation in TVC this year for the anniversary. Aurra Sing is a no brainer given the secondary market prices of that figure. Queen Amidala like Retro is getting or even return to Naboo gown from Legacy BD08 would be a nice addition. Any of the Jedi council would also be a nice addition like Depa Billaba. Yaddle was also in Legacy, and would be a nice easy release on a TPM card. They don't have to do an entire wave of 12 like they did in 1.0 days, but they definitely should not underestimate the fact that kids who grew up on TPM are now 30+ years old with money to spend. Be smart about it, and pick 4-5 really good figures collectors would buy.
I want Oola, too!!
She came in jabbas throne that was a walmart exclusive
@@delmaralvarado2635 I mean for TVC.
Hi BB, Do you think the TVC stormtrooper that will be released this year will be the same as mold as vc 231, but with a holster?
Hi Bossk, QFNW: How likely do you think it is that Hasbro will ever release a Ralph Mcquarrie concept art series in the vintage collection? I recently picked up my first Gentle Giant jumbo figure of Darth Vader and absolutely love it. The Black series two pack of Darth Vader and bald Obi Wan also looks great. I think a lot of Star Wars fans have an affinity for his art as it was a fascinating peak behind the curtain, and it revealed what an important person Mcquarrie was in the creation of Star Wars itself! Concept versions of Luke, Han, Obi Wan, Vader, C3P0, Stormtrooper, Yoda, and Boba Fett would surely sell out. Plus with card back art being important for us TVC collectors, you have some of the most iconic art to choose from...would you be interested in a series like this?
Hi BB! Not sure if this is a worthy question, but QFNW: Given Hasbro's recent earnings report and the loses they've been taking with their Licensed product, how much do you think they need to lose in order to give up the Star Wars (and maybe Marvel) licenses with Disney? I would imagine once they have bled their current customers for everything they can get and begin to show negative profit margins, they will eventually give it up. More and more collectors are tailoring their purchases to specific movies/genres or leaving the hobby altogether. I've personally been contemplating selling off my Black Series OT collection and I only buy OT TVC products which they are making less and less of these days.
Regarding General Grievous, my main point of curiosity is how he will transfer to the upcoming Retro figure… 🧐
Embo with his dog and the robot bounty hunter, C-21 Highsinger from the episode "Bounty"from the Clone Wars.
I got the E-Wing for one reason... The carded KE4-N4 (that's right it's/her name is Keana)
And it's going right next to a Retro R2.. (can't afford the original) which was the very first Star Wars figure I got in 1978 at the age of 10 (wish I'd saved that one I tell you)
QFNW. Do you believe that the reason for first 96 not being released yet is because Hasbro is afraid that some collectors will walk away from collecting TVC due to finally having what they wanted from this line?
It’s because hasbro has no idea what their fan base wants. We get some hits and a lot of misses
QFNW: i just realized the gamorean guard has hair, can they make a Sabine with long rainbow hair with real hair like how the gamorean guard has real hair around his waist, and have her have a removable bike helmet and a hover bike, like when she goes under the E wing
I always look forward to your Vids uploads on Sundays BB. QFNW: do you think its possible hasbro to make a AT-TE. I personally would think it be new tooling because this is the idea, I've got an idea for the next has lab project here me out haha. The AT-TE from the clone wars show S1E21 liberty on ryloth. With AT-RT deployment like the show, figure could include commander ponds and new tooled clones. Just a thought, I'm almost done with my vehicle collection 😅
Hi Tim, another stellar episode of ABB; QFNW - with the 25th anniversary of TPM fast approaching Hasbro are set to release another Retro style figures celebrating the prequel trilogy (all 3 episodes), do you think they’ll add the anniversary logo to all prequels and do you think they’ll do the same for any TVC figures released this year? example Count Dooku (in hand packaging not available yet).
Nope because the anniversary logo that is being used across all companies is specifically for TPM. Hasbro are celebrating all the PT
Hey Tim, question for next week…. Do you think there’s a chance we could get a multipack of The Clone Wars D-Squad consisting of 4 astromechs, a pit droid and the tiny Colonel Gascon since they have already announced the Amazon 4 pack with Ashoka and 3 astromechs? It would be cool if the Colonel Gascon could fit inside the top of M5-BZ and we could get some more droids into TVC. Thanks and keep up the great content.
I'll say something nice about the Kenobi show & that's thank God it's over!!🤣🤣🤣🤣😎👍🏻
Gr8 show!!! Thanks for another good one
Hello there, BB. Excellent video as always. QFNW. What Imperial Stormtrooper variant that appeared in video games, comic books and novels instead of the movies and television shows do you wish would be made for TVC? I, for example, want an Imperial Stormsniper. Essentially a standard Imperial Stormtrooper with a blue pauldron and sniper rifle. Thank you in advance.
Fun Episode!
Thanks for featuring my concepts Builder army pack in your video 🤗! Great episod as always 👌
I didn’t realise it was yours apologies. I just got it from SWTVC Instagram without reading the description.
@@BossksBountyNo problems, it's an honor to see my work in your video !!!!
Hey BB - would you be interested in a new Emperor’s Wrath Vader using the Dark Times mold? I know we have a TVC already but I do love that new Vader mold.
I agree, grievous will not be remade.
Hi BB, QFNW- (more discussion point) What are your thoughts on a troop builder pack - with the figures loose and with less articulation but in pre moulded stances (elbow bent to holder blaster etc) as an alternative to buying on card troopers at a lower cost.
ps: my son gets a kick out of you reading these can you give him a shout out (Thomas) by asking him to stop losing hands helmets and weapons of our loose figures. Cheers
Hi BB. QFNW Just watched your announcement of the escape (66)
Hasbro seemed to be All about the droids and repacks at the moment. Who do you think is driving this idea. Whilst it’s good and a new focus , it’s feels a little “ fill the the word of your choice”
Should we be accepting of this?
Also just an observation is it right that the price of a droid should be the same as a figure? I personally don’t think so.
It’s not that I’m being all negative, but it’s good that we challenge or ask these types of questions.
Thanks G
Damn, Bossk is gona let that chopper sing on ole boy Finn in the display😩😭😭
Hi question for next week. Have you ever noticed on VC 205 Empire strikes back Lando, that the legs crack if you move them too much do you think this is a quality control issue or just my copy love to hear your thoughts on it.
If they do another ST Finn figure I'd like the version from TROS.
He BB do you think Hasbro will give us the Mos Eisley blue Power Droid with the interesting designs on the side? It truly would be a repaint.
5:05 No, No, No… the correct answer is when he played Carl Weathers on Arrested Development.
Thank you, Tim, for more great work. QFNW which clone commander or captain would you like to see done in TVC? I would really like to see Fox even though he’s probably the worst commander and least liked clone. Then they could do a four pack of shock troopers and one could have a removable pauldron. I’d like to know your thoughts.
I like this idea for four pack of shock troopers I need VC110 he need removable pauldron red please paint ankles
I like this idea vc45 need CAPTAIN REX not binocular rex they can do 501st Legion clone troopre again and this time
Hasbro didn't apply the blue stripe/band around this clone's wrist.
CAPTAIN RE needs new helmets
? about 501st Legion clone troopre vc45 one Hasbro didn't apply the blue stripe/band around this clone's wrist.
is there any versions with it on this again one. this ? about vc45 versions not new one
Another great video and thanks again for answering my question!
I hate the sequel trilogy but I’d love them to do a first order Stormtrooper at the same level as the recent OT Stormtrooper. I’d buy a bunch of them
I like Carl Weathers in force 10 from Navarre
We need a bantha for the tusken raiders
I would love to get a 4 pack of kashyyyk troopers
Tim Good tidings! Since I have onl or heard of you for the last year and a half I have enjoyed streaming past episodes! So I came across an episode that you were enjoying the first two episodes of obi won and you seemed hopeful for the series! So my question is what episode or what happened that made yo not enjoy the series overall. My self I wish the last fight was a tie! Thank you for all the great content! I was 8;when Star Wars came out and I love the series!
I mean love Star Wars overall not necessarily obi won show 😂😜 sorry
Hi Bossk's bounty do you think that Hasbro will ever make a new vintage collection jedi temple guard with the new articulation,the only one that they made was in the star wars rebels line.
I talk about this at then end of this video buddy
Repack we didn't need- Nien Numb.
I needed him and got him now.
Hey bossk question, what are the chances of a delta squad 4 pack being released
Question, for next week, I’ve asked us in several of your videos, but I’m going to ask again.
Do you think Hasbro, Will ever make the Rebel U-wing fighter with the four seats like in rogue one?
Cause I bought this ship back when the movie came out, but it only came with the cockpit, so is it possible we could get a remake of this ship, but with the four seats?
Also, another question I have, is, what is Hasbro’s email address, because I have a couple of complaints that I would like for them to consider in the future
didi I not answer this in this video? I am sure I recorded answering. If not then I apologise.
@@BossksBounty no, you did not answer my question, I just re-listened to your video from last week
Hello! Could you post a link to the Star wars trivia you attended? :)
ua-cam.com/video/mhdNDBvLQ9w/v-deo.html
I suspect the issue with the E-wing is because of the EU fan fare more than anything else tbh.
The newer appearance in Ahsoka just gave them a good excuse not to release it as EU, i suspect we'll be seeing a Tie defender before next year! - that is my call.. could be wrong but i have a feeling.
If they do the Delta (Episode 2 one obiwan flew) or the Eta (episode 3) i think it'd go along side something like Order 66 packs, do a 6 monthly order 66 pack, with the Jedi's starship? I am far too hopeful thinking we'd get a bunch of them repainted.
Whatever happened, LEGO and Hasbro got the same memo there. Either way, I'm good - it's an incredible looking craft (that doesn't in anyway whatsoever look like a Colonial Viper whatsoever 😆)
🤞 for those paint apps
@@TonyStark-uu9us Haha, i do also love the vipers from BSG the OG looks better though imo.
Hopefully we get some more vehicles but i think the next one will def be OT based.
At a guess.. maybe Gunship re-release next? hopefully the version with the closing doors.
3rd this week! I'm slipping.
QFNW. Hey Bossk, when will the Dooku wave finally land on our doorsteps ?, it’s been 4 months nearly since the UK received the Revan wave. I worry that we’re going to have a very expensive September again like last year due to this backlog.
First week of March
Was just wondering "When's Bossk normally upload his videos.."
Sabine 2pk still haven't even had word back from Hasbro pulse, I asked John to pass a message along to any contacts over the weekend, i can hope that Tuesday the 13th (Monday for USA) will result in at least something but..
I'm going to have to prepare something else, Also had a wave cancelled on my local store figure due this month just refunded last night, no info yet why hasbro pulled stock.
Hope your week is doing better.
I Don't think they'll update Grevious because its pretty hard to get him more perfect than he is.
Improvements could be made, but none that really effect the figure one improvement they could do is the Feet, and a proper bloody Peg hole for a stand that he can get onto.
But in terms of spinning his wrists with ball joints, i think his four arms are the same issues they pretend to have with female characters, they just wont make plastic that small with the worse kind of plastic they're using now.
Is it possible? yeah somebody other than Hasbro or Hasbro 10 years ago could've made that figure using good plastic.
Now days that Grevious is as good as we will ever get.. i suggest people Blue tack him to a larger stand and hope your room doesn't get as hot as mine!
I also feel like we should Demand/Request? make clear.. that if they are going to keep doing the two packs, which cost us MORE.
One of those figures MUST be almost brand new, A repack with a recolour is not good enough.
The only time a Recolour and a repack is acceptable is some of the figures from Legacy collection, if they wanna repack Jaina/Jacen in a two pack.. Sure.
Spacetrooper? Alright.
Otherwise bugger off and give us more new molds! or better kitbashing!
@@johnathanjones9216 Oh be quiet.
Hasbro often don't know what they're doing that's why people like Bossk are so important, and all these fan made polls are important.
I doubt anyone who collects TVC agrees that not releasing Shin or Baylan was them knowing what they're doing.
Hasbro have a habit of making bad choices which effect their sales, which effect us so we need to try to keep them accountable, not Shill for a giant company.
I'll praise them when New Zealand gets the same offerings that anywhere else in the world does.
uhh YEAHHHH they need to bring back Exar Kun and Ulec Qel Droma 2 pack ............. seriously, THAT needs a remake BADLYYY =_+
Won’t happen. My comic book packs are my house deposit lol
will the 25 figure lists be in a video soon?
My list?
@@BossksBounty the list that me and others put into a website with our 25 most wanted figures
Oola, a woman dressed in a sexy outfit in figure form? What, with ultra PC Disney calling the shots?
PSA: Black Series Greivous isn’t that great either guys…😂🙄
there is nothing nice to say about the Obi show- cept the VC Vader and OBi figures
Hate the character of Finn. Give me more Rogue 1
First...
Can't stand that Grievous figure. Can't stand can't hold his lightsabers at all, the cape sucks, it's a mess.
Go ahead and rip Obi Wan.....it was terrible. It totally crapped on the first movie - and Darth Vader can't jump a line of fire..??!!?? and can't walk around it???? Terrible writing.
I will be pretty mad if we don't get a TVC Haslab this year.
