Hey Man, thank you very much for your purchase and the review, I know you have completed your vintage run, so now it's nice you can add customs to your great looking collection, they look GREAT on display, thanks again bro Chris (Stan Solo) 👊🏽 💥
No, thank you, mate!! These custom figures you have made are AMAZING!!! I can't get over how awesome and well made they all are?! They blend seemlessly into my Kenner collection. Very stoked to add these figures. Looking forward to what you do next!!! MTFBWY!
Chris’ work is unparalleled. His carded versions are even spot on with the quality of printing and cardboard. His weapons are exactly the same as the originals. I love that his weapons blend seamlessly into the market so much that it’s bringing down the prices of original weapons because you can’t tell the difference. Love It!!!
Personally, I wish the weapons were marked. I love that they look and feel like Kenner but if I was trying to buy legit Kenner, I would want legit Kenner. Thats just me. The market isnt going to fall just because of Stan Solo IMO. Just giving collectors more options :) Which is cool!!!
Guys...I notice that some of you are upset by the fact that Stan Solo created a Stormtrooper with an identical weapon. Please Don't take out your frustration on me or the channel. I don't make the toys. I'm just sharing information. I stand by what I said in this video. Collect what and how you want. I'm not telling anyone what to do. Again, just showing you all what’s out there.
And yet hasbro reissued the stormtrooper with identical weapon. Not to mention the entire retro line!!!! Don’t hear much moaning about those copies and the weapons/capes etc... anything I’ve heard about those is a educated collector will spot the differences. Same with Stansolo. So it’s a mute point, it’s your collection, collect whatever and however makes you happy!
@@douglasbutler1319 I don’t collect the retro line or modern toys, so I kind of in the dark. But people should educate themselves on what they’re collecting. Absolutely.
Most definitely! Love how they fill in some gaps in my displays. Thanks for watching, bro! Have a great weekend. Also - I have a fun Kenner ROTJ unboxing video dropping tomorrow morning. Stay tuned for that!
Thank you very much for tuning in and supporting the channel! And please feel free to share the video(s) with any other Star Wars enthusiasts. The more the merrier I say :)
Me too, Sean. He makes great stuff. I will be having another review of some more Stan Solo goodies in the near foreseeable future. Just depends on when those goodies arrive from across the pond. Stay tuned.
Dude I never thought I would see you more stoked for a package than when you got your Skiff, but you seemed way happier and more excited getting these figures opened. 😂👍🏻
First off, my Skiff came with a broken rail at first. So that really soured the KoolAid for me on that pickup. But how can you not be excited about Stan Solo's figures....they look amazing!!
@@GQJedi your enthusiasm for these figures (especially the droids extra legs) made this such a joy to watch, and gotta be honest made me want them all. I have some already and honestly I can’t fault them, you need to get the Stormtrooper Han too, he looks so good with Luke.
Love these Droids! Super cool. The 3rd leg is the cherry on the top as far as I'm concerned, brother. I'm hoping to add to my collection and pick up some other gems from SS. And yes, Han in Stormtrooper outfit is a must for my list!
Good stuff. I have four of his astromech droids and U-3PO. The u-3po is incredibly well done. I also have a Stan Solo Han Stormtrooper that is equally well made. I'm glad to see you branched out!
I pre ordered the Slave Leia and then just bought the plated version of C3PO and R2D2 on Yavin card backs. Can’t wait to get them and watching you reviews makes me want more. They have to be high quality to be able to fit right into your awesome collection.
Thanks for checking out my review! Slave Leia looks awesome. Kudos to you for ordering her and the Droids pair. You’ll definitely be happy with them when they arrive. I think Stan Solo makes amazing figures and I’m happy to add them to my collection. They are little pieces of art and blend in seamlessly with the original Kenner figures.
Great scores. I'm waiting for Stan Solo to do another run of R5-M2, R3-A2, K-3PO and R-3PO for my ESB Hoth displays. As soon as he does, I'm going to order them. I'm kinda burnt out collecting modern figures and really getting excited getting back into vintage.
Awesome review of these brill figures @GQJ. Never thought about adding these droids to my collection - I will defo get around to doing this in the future.
Those astromechs tho…I always wished for a third leg on my R2. There as even a hole ready for it! I never owned that droid factory set. If I remember correctly, there was a third leg for Artoo in that.
Yes, the R2 that comes with the Droid Factory playset definitely has a third leg. He is the only version of Artoo that comes like that. Stan Solo was wise to create a 3rd leg for all these astromechs. They are quite popular :)
@@GQJedi great info bro as always. I can clearly remember yearning for one for R2. How hard would it have been for Kenner (Palitoy here) to include one, or even make a special edition R2 or something? It’s just a small piece of plastic after all. Then again, maybe that was their way of ensuring most kids bought the droid factory for it.
@@StarWarsJay I wouldn't put it past Kenner/Palitoy to do that very thing. For sure. A cheeky way to make parents spring for a playset. I think you hit the nail on the head, my friend!
@@GQJedi lol people think manipulating customers is new due to the internet etc. I suspect it’s been going on since we swapped bone clubs and rocks with each other.
Awesome Video GQ Jedi. I’m a fan and a customer of Stan Solo’s figures. You need to get the Han Solo Stormtrooper, can’t leave Luke Stormy running around the Death Star Solo (pun intended). I pre ordered the Slave Leia also, a must for your Jabba Playset. Keep up the good work GQ, love your videos!
Thanks, Javier!! I can always count on you to tune in to see my videos. I really appreciate that, bro! Stan Solo is legit and I love the figures that he is making. You are absolutely correct - I need to get my hands on a Han Solo in Stormtrooper outfit. Its a must! Slave Leia looks amazing, definitely adding her to my list as well. Thanks again for your continued support, Sir!!
I agree collect what you want, I do. It’s just a shame when someone try’s to sell repo as original. trying to trick the collector who doesn’t have the experience to tell the difference between weapons. Can understand why some people are angry about it. But hay nice figures 🤟
Yes collect what you want! Period. I do understand why people are upset about the weapons. I do. Imperial Gunnery is supposedly helping address SS's weapons so people can get educated.
Absolutely amazing work that Stan Solo puts out. Due to high costs, I cheated and got the Yak Face, R2 w/pop up saber and Stormtrooper Luke. These were affordable until I can find those last three at a reasonable price. They display perfect as you mentioned. Great video GQ Jedi!
Great Figueres 👍. Have looked in Stan Solos Shop, he has a lot of great Figueres in Sale. Very nice looking Items and a good compromise to complete a Collection If you only want to have the Figueres complete. Look at the Deathstar gunner, in Card and looking excelent, or Yak Face 😳 Very very great 😊👍
Stan Solo's figures are nothing short of Awesome! Collectors have options now that they didn't have years ago. Its beautiful. With any hobby, educate yourself and you can't go wrong ;)
Excellent job ..figures look amazing the fans are doing it right the toy makers are messing up big time for example the retro collection wave 3 came out and they are not on rotj cards , a truly unbelievable decision...!
Those Stan Solo figures are amazing. The only bad thing is ur original vintage weapons & accessories maybe so identical to his versions that it’ll cause some confusion over which is which. U did say the staff is more flexible though. Maybe he could mark his weapons & accessories in the future. Still, his new customs are the bomb...
The figures are awesome!! SS focuses primarily on custom figures. As far as who buys them and what they plan to do with them after that time, is anyone’s guess. With any hobby though, people need to educate themselves on what they are buying. I’m impressed with the figures that he makes.
I always thought it strange that SS would reproduce the Stormtrooper figure. Why? There are thousands upon thousands of them in the market from the original Kenner run. He should've instead done the Death Squad/ Star Destroyer Commander in the proper black uniform, or an Imperial Officer in the green/gray uniform.
I love the custom ones that are figures that were never made. I don't like the idea of them making copies of ones that Kenner actually made though. Stan should stop doing that before Hasbro sues him out of business. The custom ones are fantastic! The third leg on the R2 units is a great idea. That's the kind of detail that I love to see on custom figs. If I buy one, I might get R2-Q5 as he's my favorite of the lesser known droids. I have a salt and pepper shaker set that has Q5 for the pepper shaker. Q5 has a popup!?! That's incredible! Original popup R2-D2's go for crazy money if they are intact.
Stan Solo is primarily focusing on figures that weren't released is which is smart and cool! I love his droids. Especially that 3rd leg, as you now know! R2-Q5 was a great surprise to me when I got him. So dang cool!
Kind of disappointing that there’s no differentiation between the repro weapons and original. Collect what you want, but it sucks that it’s hard for people who want original pieces to spot the difference between real and fake. Not cool.
I hear you. Imperial Gunnery is supposedly helping address this issue I've heard. I also notice that Stan Solo's weapons are much smoother and have almost no flashing. The details are really crisp. I can't speak any further about that issue though as I don't make these toys.
I hope the market gets flooded with the repro weapons. The kid in me wants everyone to replace the weapons they lost when they were kid. It just brings back so much joy.
If people didn't charge dumb amounts for originals, there wouldn't be a need for repro. As an example,a Jawa blaster will run you anywhere from 40 to 100 dollars. A repro will only cost 3 bucks.

Vintage is where it’s at for me. Pure nostalgic goodness that will last me thru the ages.
His work is phenomenal. Bought a few figures now. Loose or boxed they are outstanding.
100% agree!! He is making the best custom Kenner style figures out there. Period. Simply amazing. Each and every single figure. I want them all!
