The Acklay was also my favorite as a kid because it reminded me of one of my favorite sci-fi movies ever, Starship troopers. The sound and design reminded me of the arachnids and those are my absolute favorite creature designs ever. Have you seen Starship troopers?
@@blaineishere3851 Ah, thats so cute :D It happens to me sometimes when I start talking about star trek lore in front of older people, and they show interest in the behaviour I describe of some species like the greedy Ferengi or the tactical Cardassians :P
I had the 30th Anniversary playset that came with all three of these guys. The Acklay in that set could have his limbs removed, and being a chaotic little boy, I tore off its limbs and wound up losing them overtime. Now the poor crocodile-crab just lays in my closet, limbless.
I love the ackley because battlefront 2 also but there's this star wars legends comic where luke died on hoth then han was in the rancor pit at jabba's palace but there was no rancor and it was 2 nexus so i love that one also and i kinda like the reek because his fight with jango fett
I have all 3 of these literally when I was little in about 2011 my dad worked at this second hand shop and brought be home a massive bag of star wars figures mainly 1997- present day figures mostly potf some of them are probably worth something
holy shit I've only just noticed how many subscribers you have now! Last time I checked you had like a thousand but that was like 3 years ago or something like that. Man time flies. Anyways great video and congratulations for your success and I hope that maybe one day you will hit a million subscribers. Have a great day man!
I love the acklay figure but it is a real pain to stand (I don’t know how you got the acklay to stand like that) the first one I got was also the reek and I would like to get the nexu and I found one for like £10 which to me seems pretty good but I wanna finish my Lego Star Wars collection first
Nexu: You’re supposed to push its tongue to make the jaw close. It grows and makes attack noises when you do. Also, there’s a better acklay that has removable hands and a place to shove obiwan’s spear
Ok are the hasbro’s aklay, reek, and Nexu still in stock cause it’s not in stores cause it’s all gone so maybe they can still be in stock on online stores like Amazon
Are these in the 6 inch scale? I’m trying to get a Reek for my Black Series General Grievous so I can have him ride it like in the Clone Wars. If so PLEASE reply! I would much appreciate!
Any Star Wars toys before 2013 are 100% going to be in the 3.75" scale. If it's in the 6" scale, it will always indicate "Black Series". There were a few Black Series 3.75" items tho, so look out for that!
Lol i have one its so old it cant even stand the acklay has 3 legs for me lol It broke because i thought it looked good and has no head i am so saltyuu
My favorite aspect about Attack of The Clones is Natalie Portman
XD
shes insanely hot
My first crush. 🤣
Asspect
dont we all

No
ME too!, Actually I have Both that Acklay figure and a Starship Trooper Warrior Bug, they look supercool together :D
fun fact: part of the Obi-Wan vs Acklay fight was inspired by the Giant Crab scene from the 1961 Ray Harryhausen adaptation of "Mysterious Island"!
MARC SEND ME THE ACKLAY
"Im gonna take the guts out of the bag"
Moments later: "im probably gonna keep them in the bag" forever
I found an old lady selling a nexu for a buck. I love it so much. 😂
"I hope you enjoy your little kitty son :D" ah, the innocence of old ladies
@@marccamp6376 she asked me to identify a handful of random characters and wash shocked that none of them were Star Wars. 😂

@@marccamp6376 lol!
@@blaineishere3851 ha, she was probably selling some of her sons old toys or something. That was very sweet of her.
I loved the SAGA series as a kid. they had these action features that made playing with them more fun. always will be one of my favorite toy lines.
The diorama potential you have with all your figures is insane!

haha! I had no idea they made one with removable limbs!
Your vids are helping me with my dogs passing away yesterday
I’m sorry your dog passed away. :/ I’m sure you gave him a great life.
@@blaineishere3851 thx so much
Rusty Chapek on german vids all would say „who wants to know or other things but „ good luck for this sad time
I had the Nexu as a kid always loved the area beasts too I wanted the Acklay so bad as well! Great collection!
Excellent review! Just got the Acklay off eBay excited to get it! You’re right the Acklay’s shriek would have been a great gimmick
Had these toys since I was a kid they are all brilliant !!
I love the ackley because battlefront 2 also but there's this star wars legends comic where luke died on hoth then han was in the rancor pit at jabba's palace but there was no rancor and it was 2 nexus so i love that one also and i kinda like the reek because his fight with jango fett
Man, this video really REEKS
I'll show myself out
I'd make a AOTC pun but honestly I don't think I have any *massiff* enough.......
I'm sorry
I wish they'd made a Sando Aqua Monster, it would have had to have been as large as Hasbro's Cloverfield Monster... but just imagine.
The Reek button isn't in the right place, and it makes a noise lmao
Dude I just noticed that they all look like real animals
Wtf kind of animal have you seen that looks like a Reek, Acklay or Nexu?
@@ScoutTrooperTK generic house pets? *duh*

Would be great to have a Black Series rerelease of those creatures, just epic!
I actually had the whole arena set including them 3 and anakin, padme and obi wan kenobi, got it from Toys R us back when i was a kid
Had no idea these existed! Wish they made these again for 6in Black Series.

This is one set I wish I still had as an adult
I love the acklay figure but it is a real pain to stand (I don’t know how you got the acklay to stand like that) the first one I got was also the reek and I would like to get the nexu and I found one for like £10 which to me seems pretty good but I wanna finish my Lego Star Wars collection first
I have all of those toys including the weird dog things the people ride
Attack of The Clones is my favorite Star Wars movie and the arena scene is my favorite action sequence in any Star Wars movie.
The nexu is basically a spider cat monster
I have the MASSIVE plastic Geonosis play set. It’s pretty epic.
I have the retool of it they did to make it into Cobra Mountain from GI Joe. I'd love to get the Arena at some point... but I need the space first.
Man acklay look like velociraptor and mantis combined
I tried so hard as a kid to find Acklay but all the toy stores only had stupid reek
I’m planning on doing a battle on felucia galactic civil war where I can have an acklay attack a group of stormtroopers
Favourite monster , the guts
Crab and lizard all in one
Amazing design the sequels never had anything like this not even like the space rhino reek
They had the Rathtar. Not nearly as cool but they had it. And the giant snake thing in ROS.
Nexu: You’re supposed to push its tongue to make the jaw close. It grows and makes attack noises when you do.
Also, there’s a better acklay that has removable hands and a place to shove obiwan’s spear
ooooooooooh. Did not know. Many thanks.
Jcc2224 I think it was in TVC
Yeah man it was the one from the whole arena set
I only have the acklay but I want the other 2
I have the acklay but I think the nexu is the coolest
Ok are the hasbro’s aklay, reek, and Nexu still in stock cause it’s not in stores cause it’s all gone so maybe they can still be in stock on online stores like Amazon
Yeah they're 19 year old toys so your only bed right now is eBay or other aftermarket places.
now i need a Acklay,
I was early this week was going to ask if you were planing to finish the arena beasts but now i don't have to.
I want to see a clone arc trooper hound
Acklay is a scorpion!

@@Jcc2224 thanks a lot for the reply!! Appreciate it!!
Those are so cool
My favourite monster is the wild adam xD
I might just get a used nexu and a used reek
Lol i have one its so old it cant even stand the acklay has 3 legs for me lol
It broke because i thought it looked good and has no head i am so saltyuu
I’m trying to get my dad to bye these
They are cool!
Did you get the Amazon exclusive C'ai Threnalli?
Nah, not a fan of Resistance stuff beyond the main heroes.
@@Jcc2224 He's a movie guy apparently.
Yeah he is but he's a Resistance (faction) character.
It doesn’t talk it like makes sounds or something
I have the acklay and the nexu
This was NOT like the simulations!
I have a Reek for sale.
I looooooooooooov it
Arf not arc
Wow I wasn’t the only one who went on eBay to look for Star Wars shit :|
