For the price , they should have added diecast knee joints and lower legs for stability. Great review and close ups on the patina. I am getting one but if these go on sale I’ll pick up another one .
Yeah think they could have put diecast in the legs! Would have given it a bit more weight and it would a felt a bit more worth the price. I’m sure it will come down in price tbh so you’ll be able to get a second one 👍🏻👊🏻
Yes I enjoyed this figure, for me having the representation of it in the collection kind of overrode the drawbacks. I liked your more measured review of it tbh 👊🏻
As appealing as this may be, I can’t justify the price. If it ever goes on sale I may consider picking one up. But for $240 we’re being swindled, I think.
I think the price will have put a lot of collectors off tbh so I'd definitely expect it to drop in price or be in a sale at some point. I mean I love the figure but realistically you're right, it's overpriced at the moment. Thanks for checking out the video 👊🏻
Impressive, love that rusted patina and always impressed by the level of engineering on these type of figures! As you have said Fits in alongside several characters so well as a secondary character, hoping the big chap can fit inside a detolf whilst on his stand ? 🤞. Another great addition to your stellar collection. Thanks for another great video and as always excited for whatever May be up next on the channel, have a great week, stay well 👍
Thanks Andrew!! Feels a bit plasticky but looks great thanks to the epic paint applications! Yes he fits in the detolf ok too which is a bonus 😃 Cheers for watching, my friend! 👊🏻
Glad you found it useful! Could do with saving some cash myself to be honest mate 😅so many releases scheduled for 2024!! Thanks for checking out the video 👊🏻
Thanks mate! Yeah I don't blame you for holding out for those other figures - those ones are definitely the must-must-must haves for sure!! Cheers for checking out the video mate 👊🏻
Super cool looking droid. Have no idea when I will get mine. Kinda wish I had gotten two. Now they need to make a droideka. Another great video, my friend!
Yeah I’m thinking I should have broke my rule of one! Two would look fantastic with Dooku! A droideka would be epic!! So hope they make one of those!!! Thanks for watching mate 😀👊🏻
Wow 2800HKD!! Spicy pricey!! Yeah I'm guessing the later batch(es) will definitely get down to a more sensible number! Thanks for checking out the vid 👊🏻
Very cool not from my favourite starwars movie but I still enjoyed it ,,,! The little red light definitely gives it life . Think we need more droids from hot toys ! Hoth medic droid from empire would be amazing with its clear body and green limbs and head ,,
Yeah totally agree with you about more droids!!! Always loved that Hoth medical droid, would make a really really great figure, awesome choice mate! 👊🏻
What a cool looking figure! Love the realistic metal paint and weathering. Got to say though, that seam across the top bothers me, it makes it look cheap and plasticy but if you don't see it, it doesn't look cheap at all. You're right though, it's not fair charging that much, at the end of the day it's just mass produced plastic bits screwed together like a pound shop toy but painted really well so their profit margins are through the roof. Look at iphones, they cost $10 to make in China and then are sold for a fortune. The funny thing is and this is probably just me, every time I see this figure, all I can think of is that 90s version of lost in space. Still, great figure! Great video as always dude👍🏻
Yeah luckily can't see the seam when I'm looking at it (which is good because it definitely would have bugged me I think as it's quite obvious). Sensible me agrees with you 100%!!! Daft me reckons it's worth every penny 🤪 Cheers for checking out the video mate, much appreciated as always! 👊🏻
@@TK421Collectibles haha well I mean there needs to be a balance between purchasing something that's worth what you pay for it and what it's worth to you as something you love. Either way it looks pretty cool to me, it only matters if you like it 👍🏻 always dude! Love your vids 👊🏻
It looks very good and they even got the color palette right. The only thing that bugs me though is they painted the noise brass and I don't know what the logic was behind that, but aside from that, it looks like a solid release.
A pleasant looking figure ,also never noticed all the features you pointed out watching the film . A good grouping ,I would say Kenny Baker the best of the bunch 👍👍
Cheers mate!! Yeah spotted loads of sneaky details on the figures that I never actually spot in the films! Thanks for watching mate (heard there were a few Black Country scuffles yesterday at the footy? Naughty naughty!)
Looks good doesnt it ? Im getting 2 of this .I was thinking some die cast at the lower joints to give so stability. Simple but looks so cool. Must get for me for prequel lovers which I suspect most people are. Awesome video mate. Cheers
Congrats on getting 2 mate!! They are quite light and plasticy but yes they do look awesome on display!! Looking forward to your poses and photos of these when you get them in! 👍🏻
I think this is a great figure and is a must have for all droid collectors. While I found the standard trade confederation B1 droids unappealing due to their overly comic dialogue and usage, these super battle droids were a bit more menacing and felt like they were designed to go into combat. The blasters inset in his forearm are really well done. TK "A bit expensive for what they are" Yes, that is true. 09:39 Oh wow, doesn't it look impressive posed behind Dooku's shoulder! That is definitely cool, TK.
Cheers mate! Yeah it's a cool droid, always found the arm movements from standby mode to firing mode quite mesmerising for some reason so is great to have this one in the lineup. Thought it would look pretty cool as Docku's personal battle droid guard 😀 Thanks for the checking the video out, I hope you're keeping well 👊🏻
Yeah thats exactly how it is on the shelf now, backing up Dooku and Jango 😀 We dont often get droids either so I needed it represented in the collection. Thanks for checking out the video 🙌🏻
Mine came in today 😜 great details and weathering. He feels really plastic and light sadly enough. But then again he looks really cool and poses great. I remember that Hasbro had some variety in blasters/canons. This one is pretty poor in accessories. They could have done some swapable battle damage parts too. Something i do think they are stupid since the keep making a stand whit human footprints 😅🤦🏻♂️
Must admit the lightness and plasticy-ness was a tad disappointing but I was expecting it tbh. And it looks epic on the shelf tho so definitely do not regret picking this one up! Haha the sand base footprints are crazy aren't they!! 😅
The cheapest I can find this figure for online is £240… and even that is too much. One to skip in my opinion. Not even a scrap of diecast is just a joke. Same with the normal battle droid, £200+ in most places and it’s a flimsy piece of plastic. Both should be less than £150 or come in a double pack for these prices. Time to start voting with the wallet guys!
I never reveal how much I spend as if I look back on the comments in a few months/years or when the figures go on sale I will cry 😭😅🫣 If I don't type it out I will forget 😄 But yeah you're in the right ballpark with that price! 👊🏻
Sorry but this Looks Like an musicbox or an old Roboter we Had in the seventies...No Features one can Connect too only an tin and Not again the Base with non fitting footprints how laaaaame Look at the bases tyleague provide for less Money.they Tell anbstory this ist Just to Park the Thing somewhere🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱....and when will one See Magnets in the feet to end this crotch grabber stuff.should be possible to Lock Figures o bases without this
Not for me, but it does look metal. Think it looks better when its pointing his weapon. But great video as always bud. If you want another one, just wait for a few months and your probably see them cheaper!!!!😊
Haha yeah I suspect they made a boat load of these so I think the price will plummet like you say! Thanks for checking out the video even though it's not one you'd pick up, I appreciate the support mate 👊🏻
Light-up feature is still going strong after 48 hours of continuous use.
Haha love it! Imagine if the batteries outlast the actual LED light itself (about 6 years perma-lit!) 😅
For the price , they should have added diecast knee joints and lower legs for stability. Great review and close ups on the patina. I am getting one but if these go on sale I’ll pick up another one .

Didn’t know there was a battle-damage option. It’s a reason to get two. I could also make it look like Kit Fisto chopped his arm off.
Not something I use in the display tbh but if I was getting two I’d definitely have one battle damaged! 🙌🏻
They did a great job of hiding so many decent-sized batteries in it.
Yes it’s a pretty cool design to be fair to Hot Toys 👍🏻 and the batteries last for aaaages as they only power a tiny LED 🙌🏻
2 months? Sheeeeeesh, that gap!
Glad you like it man, it’s a good looking figure. Awesome review as always. Keep killin’ it🍻 🎉
Yes I enjoyed this figure, for me having the representation of it in the collection kind of overrode the drawbacks. I liked your more measured review of it tbh 👊🏻
One B1 and one B2 flanking Dooku will work for me.
Yes! 🙌🏻 That’s what I’ve gone for! Would be cool to army build but I don’t really do multiples of the same figure 👊🏻
As appealing as this may be, I can’t justify the price. If it ever goes on sale I may consider picking one up. But for $240 we’re being swindled, I think.

If this was sold under a different brand in toy shop it would be £50 $50

I’ll probably give this one a miss, would’ve expected at least die cast legs. Thanks for the review mate! Saved me some cash!
Glad you found it useful! Could do with saving some cash myself to be honest mate 😅so many releases scheduled for 2024!! Thanks for checking out the video 👊🏻
Nearly hit the button on this ,but held back saving my penny's for the vader, obi-wan and padme which I hope will be out soon ... Great review as ever
Thanks mate! Yeah I don't blame you for holding out for those other figures - those ones are definitely the must-must-must haves for sure!! Cheers for checking out the video mate 👊🏻

Price in Hong Kong was way over the top and dropped £40 in days from 2800HKD to 2300 including postage. Guess it will drop under 2000 HKD

@@TK421Collectibles thanks mate hopefully we will see more droids! Great to see this figure ! Looks so good with the other clone figures
He fits perfectly with others! Couldn't be missing from your collection.
Yes! definitely a must have for the other Attack of the Clones figures 😃 Thank you for checking out the video 👊🏻

great video! it is a shame that they didn't incorporate any diecast parts. Will wait on this figure and buy a pre owned one.

I'm on the fence on this one. If I get it it would be in line with your last shot --- as a companion piece to stand behind my County Dooku and Jango.
