    Hey Monkeyfamily!
    Thanks for watching the video!
    Which of today's figures was your favourite?
    Do you think we will ever get Benthic and Edrio Two Tubes figures in the Black Series or TVC? I think their character design is awesome!
    Hope you all have a groovy week!

      Hey Monkeyboy! As always you have brought before us another great haul! My favorite is the Kenner Luke Skywalker, because he was the first Star Wars figure I received when I was a wee lad (those lightsabers that slide out of the arms of Luke, Obi-Wan, and Vader were something else I'll tell you!). At this point I don't believe that Benthic or Edrio Two will get the Black Series treatment, at least not until Disney gets it's $hit together about what they're doing with this IP. Although I must confess I hope it doesn't take them another ten years to get their collective heads out of their arses! Until next time, have a splendid week as always👍🐒

      Yeah I won't hold my breath for either of the Two Tubes characters to get a figure, but I will foster a small measure of hope.
      Very happy that I have finally got a Luke Farmboy in the collection. I didn't realise how much I had missed him!

      @adora_lovely you make a good suggestion. I might have to consider that. The main reason I use a white throw is so that my cat's furs don't show up all over it. I will see how I get on and if it's a persistent problem I will get a different throw. I'm just not sure that having used it for two years I can actually bring myself to change it. I don't seem to have the same problem when filming SkeleTalk so it's a bit of a mystery why it misbehaves with my videos. Perhaps I will set fire to everything and shout my fury into the night.

    i actually had no clue about that dangly bit at the end of luke's lightsaber until now, MB.
    the luke farmboy repro figure from the hasbro vintage collection omits the luke's little dangly bit ! 🤣
    yeah, u're right tho monkey, it isn't much use to luke in battle, is it?
    prehaps it comes from an earlier unused concept for lightsabers that just never made it into the finished film.
    also, ur story about ur first luke and vader was so cute 😊
    my dad had a similar experience w his first star wars toy.
    before he ever saw any star wars film, his mum (my gran) got my dad a c3p-0 action figure when he was a kid. it was one of those 30 cm tall ones, if u've ever seen one of those before.
    my dad had never seen the star wars yet, so he just thought threepio was like this cool robot space man hero.
    he built up this image of threepio as this badass character for so long, then finally he saw a new hope on telly in 1980 and.....yeah 😅
    he still really loved that figure tho, so it's all good.
    thanks again for a lovely video, i hope all is well

      Aww, thanks for that sweet comment, Adora, that's really nice of you and I appreciate the kind encouraging words.
      Yeah I always hated that dangly bit on the lightsabers. I have a mint Vader that still has his dangly bit, but I think it looks terrible. However, I don't want to snap off the end of his, er, tool because it instantly devalues the figure by a significant amount. I guess I just have to put up with it looking ridiculous.
      It's hilarious that your dad thought threepio was a badass 😅 that's brilliant hahaha. Probably the weakest and most useless character in the whole saga 😅

    Awesome pick ups MB, the Farmboy Luke looks like it's in incredible condition.

    I did pick up the Jedha revolt 4-pk for around £15 sometime ago and it was well worth it. Two-Tubes is a good sculpt but the Saw figure is probably one of the best sculpts of any star wars line, incredible detail. Although the tank driver is available in TVC it is a very weathered up version so this is the only pack to have a clean armour version. Yup it had another Jyn figure which I already had a couple of thanks to other multipacks etc but a couple of accessories for customs is always welcome.

      If you haven't seen it already, I recommend watching the review by Mr Home Arcade. It's well worth it to see all the different poses that can be achieved with the Cringer figure. He even recreated the scene where He-Man points the Power Sword at Cringer and the cat is on his hind legs looking scared. It's well worth watching his video.

      In fact, both brothers share the same nickname, or sometimes simply "Tubes". I think Benthic is the cooler looking one with his long coat and the cylinders across his back, but they both have the same basic head design which is one of the better costume designs in Rogue One, although there are several good character designs to be fair.
