This figure feels like its still in the design phase in terms of how the figure works and pieces interact. Its like they nailed the look without accounting for how all the individual parts would interact during posing.
You nailed it Justin, hot toys did indeed fell short in imagination with this figure.. 1.-The moving eyes 2.-The hood 3.-The lightsaber ( terrible) 4.-At least it would’ve been nice the snarl he does at the beginning of the first episode 5.-Boots need to be plastic instead of pleather material.
What I love about the grand Inquisitor is the way both rebels and Live action manage to capture that sorta over the top evil he and maintain a menacing presence. The figure captures that perfectly i think.
How is he menacing in Kenobi? He's just standing there every time you see him... Well except that one time when he gets stabbed like a massive loser by a padawan level threat so he fell on his knees...
@@donduseigneurpsaume915 shallow reading much? It's really the actors delivery of the lines. Just that way he always seems to be talking to most as if they were children. It's that eerie calmness to him almost like a vampire while also seeking to be enjoying his work almost too much underneath
all those obi-wan Kenobi figures start poping out , does that mean soon we gonna see the Kenobi and Vader from that collection? preorder both of them and super excited for the Vader one lol Nice review as always
@@Lord_Pistachio_Nut is gonna have few cables for the usb lighting.but much better than batteries.woth one cheap outlet control you can turn off /on always.
@deadscene1 I don't usually display them with the light up sabers anyway....well I didn't, because the arm was a pain to change lol, the wires sucks sure but at least now it'll be way "easier" and quicker to hit some lit up action if the want arises lol!
Is a decent figure but just as you explained it the blank stare if a major issue moving eyes would have made it more menacing and another thing those USB sabers are terrible!! I expect it more from them and is a big let down from a company like them. On another note the costume dept. from Lucasfilm could have easily made him look like the aliens from episode III to me they were to lazy and went with his human look which is a turn off but it is what it is (lazy) anyway great review I might pick it up key word might cuz the blank expression is a turn off.
Hot Toys can blow things out the park, I have The Batman, he is a great figure, impressed! However, other figures are not given the care and love they deserve! This drop in quality does not sit with the premium prices charged for the product! A little bit naughty, corners are cut and interest in bringing product to the market place as soon as possible seems to outway quality standards at times!
I was excited about this new usb system to light up the lightsaber, but its a shame that the way that the lightsaber looks is the same as with the previous batteries system, seems I will keep my star wars lightsaber characters without light up function, I am still excited for vader, great review Justin
With a custom, more accurate head sculpt, this figure would be awesome. Can’t fault the figure for the way the makeup department messed up his interpretation for the show though.
Thought about getting this. The stupidity of the bouts will likely make it a no for me now. Nobody wants to spend 300 for a figure and have to worry about something that shouldn’t or doesn’t have to be an issue.
Got this guy, but not unboxed yet with Reva, waiting for Vader! Feel will be a great display! Great review, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your wife!
Justin i don’t know about Australian traditions or holidays , but happy holidays to you and your family…..great review and I am excited to see what 2024 has in store for 1/6 figures from all the amazing companies
Justin, is Pop Collectables a trustworthy site to buy my hot toys from? I see they have Arkham Knight Batman, Green Goblin and Captain Rex in stock, all of which I want. Are they trustworthy and do they ship to Australia, and are they new in-box, not second hand?
Idk if I just got lost in the cracks, But its been over a month since I paid for shipping and I haven't heard anything since or gotten my figures, I have sent them multiple messages through email and instagram with no responds
I never understood why they didn't just employ a slimmer actor who actually resembled the character in the Rebels TV show. Did Bruce Spence have a son they could have cast?
Justin, I have a question. Will you ever review NECA figures? I love how you have a routine when you review figures, and if you do, can you start off with reviewing Friday the 13th figures?
The Black Series Grand Inquisitor is way better in my opinion. It poses better, looks the part, and none of the issues here are NOT present on it. Granted, two different sizes, companies, and target audience, but still, my opinion stands
@JustinsCollection still, I prefer the playability of the Black Series one. With the Hot Toys, they are meant to be put in a pose and left alone. I like to mess with my figures
I’m honestly not a fan of the way Hot Toys does the lightsaber blades. The red ones are too pink and I don’t like that they become more thin as you get closer to the tip as they don’t look like that in the movies.
Hello Justin, sorry for putting this here, but I'm having an issue with one of your partners. You featured a figurine (The Amazing Spider-Man No Way Home at Comicsanctorum), and since then, I haven't heard anything from them. Could you help me, or do any of your subscribers have experience ordering from them?
This would've been an entirely different figure and video if they were just more faithful to the original grand Inquisitor design. He looked like a cheap knockoff in Kenobi, and unfortunately that translates to the hot toys figure

Agreed

This dude reminds me of Quan Chi in Mortal Kombat, LOL!
Oh!
this figure looks more real than the actor in the armor
Oh!
very good head and face sculpt
Nice!
I have Reva and this one coming next week. I love the look of them. I dont typically use light up features, thats not an issue for me.
Nice!
for the boots /belt you can use ( Angelus Acrylic Paint Matte or satin finisher) with this they gonna stay in perfect condition almost forever haha
Maybe
He looks a bit like Uncle Fester
Who's grown up 😇
Lol
I still think he looks good
Nice!
all those obi-wan Kenobi figures start poping out , does that mean soon we gonna see the Kenobi and Vader from that collection? preorder both of them and super excited for the Vader one lol Nice review as always
Same lol! I pre-ordered the deluxe special edition of both and can't wait! Originally October to March now Jan to March it says. We shall see!
@@Lord_Pistachio_Nut is gonna have few cables for the usb lighting.but much better than batteries.woth one cheap outlet control you can turn off /on always.
I hope so

100 times more menancing than the actuall actor in series
Damn lol
Hey Justin are you going to review the Thunder toys alien host Venom
💯
I love the lightsaber and the head sculpt but the proportions are a little weird.amazing video!!
Thanks!

Yeah not ideal on multiple levels

Yeah agreed

Yeah just not right unfortunately
With a custom, more accurate head sculpt, this figure would be awesome. Can’t fault the figure for the way the makeup department messed up his interpretation for the show though.
Fair
Thought about getting this. The stupidity of the bouts will likely make it a no for me now. Nobody wants to spend 300 for a figure and have to worry about something that shouldn’t or doesn’t have to be an issue.
I feel you honestly
Got this guy, but not unboxed yet with Reva, waiting for Vader! Feel will be a great display! Great review, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your wife!
Oh nice what a set!
The way HT lightsabers light up just makes me not want to light them up lol
Legit
Justin i don’t know about Australian traditions or holidays , but happy holidays to you and your family…..great review and I am excited to see what 2024 has in store for 1/6 figures from all the amazing companies
Oh most of us just celebrate Christmas haha but thank you and happy holidays!
What made you stop ordering with toys womderland? And is it still safe for us to?
He did a livestream 3 months ago where he explained
I covered it in my last 2 livestreams actually
@@JustinsCollection thankyou
A great review of a flawed figure, though to be fair to HT some of the flaws are due to LFL and the Kenobi series.
Yep!
Justin, is Pop Collectables a trustworthy site to buy my hot toys from? I see they have Arkham Knight Batman, Green Goblin and Captain Rex in stock, all of which I want. Are they trustworthy and do they ship to Australia, and are they new in-box, not second hand?
Best to do your own research and decide for yourself!
Idk if I just got lost in the cracks, But its been over a month since I paid for shipping and I haven't heard anything since or gotten my figures, I have sent them multiple messages through email and instagram with no responds
I removed the stitching from the hood. Work a whole lot better now.
Nice!
Did you get your sixth scale wrecker yet? Can’t wait to see a review on him!!😃
Yep! Soon, just taking some time off for the holidays to spend with the family!
I never understood why they didn't just employ a slimmer actor who actually resembled the character in the Rebels TV show. Did Bruce Spence have a son they could have cast?
Fair enough
@justinscollection how long do pop collectibles usually take to deliver a hot toys model
You’d have to ask them, it would also depend on the country
Thank you very much I’ve finally been able to order the mark 7 Diecast can’t wait
Justin, I have a question. Will you ever review NECA figures? I love how you have a routine when you review figures, and if you do, can you start off with reviewing Friday the 13th figures?

interesting review 🤔
Thanks!

The quality is drastically different between the 2 due to the price point.

Hey sorry I stopped working with them months ago due to their poor customer service I would contact your bank or PayPal for a chargeback

Oh
This would've been an entirely different figure and video if they were just more faithful to the original grand Inquisitor design. He looked like a cheap knockoff in Kenobi, and unfortunately that translates to the hot toys figure
Fair enough
Hi
Yo!
No obi wan
Not yet!
Justin, let's be real here... Kenobi flopped and they still needed to make these. Looks scrappy. Very disappointed in this figure.
Fair enough
