Great looking figure. It still baffles me, we have reviews of figures for upcoming show but we had 3 seasons of Bad Batch and only have 1 figure from the team.
Live action should get more then animated cartoons in my opinion. Really they should stick to episodes 1-6 since this is a nostalgia based line anyway. Having every show would make The Vintage Collection the Modern Collection.
@@gabesstarwarscollection I agree to a certain extemt. I am merely pointing out this show already has figures coming out and being reviewed and we have pther shows which are missing key characters.
@@gabesstarwarscollectionI can agree with that to a certain extent. But it makes no sense to get multiple OT figures and not even the main characters of The Bad Batch. Hell, we haven't even gotten an Asajj Ventress figure yet.
It's a very mediocre kids show so you can't blame them. Only Black Series is so willing to do goofy and cartoony designs.
It hurts so bad 🤦🏻♂️
I like the figure and excited to see what they did with the belt/lower tunic tooling, it’s very interesting to see the forethought for reuse. Hoping the show is a success.
And lol at the “sweaty” BS figures. Excellent description 😂
Plo Koon, Shaak Ti, Saesee Tiin, Ki Adi Mundi.
Jealous! Thanks for the early look at this guy, great review for an awesome looking TVC figure!
Looks great, torso is very close to Anakin ROTS? The new kenobi looks a bit ropey next to him
Since they opted to sculpt the piping on the tabards instead of doing it as deco, reusing this torso for ROTS Anakin (or most other PT Jedi) would be very inaccurate, unfortunately. Alas, accuracy seems to often be overlooked these days based on some recent reuse-heavy figures.
I cannot believe they have Acolyte figures out WHEN WE STILL DON'T HAVE THE BAD BATCH IN VC. I need Echo, Tech & Wrecker wtf
Awesome review. Awesome figure can't wait to get mine. 3.75" 4life!!
I don't get excited about characters from a show we have not seen yet, but cannot deny that Hasbro made a great looking figure. It certainly looks identical to the actor. As a carded completist, ordered one to have a MOC sample. Great review thanks.
Just curious but what would you do in the past from movies coming out with toy lines?
@@danielgiorgi2188 Buy 1 mint sample just like this time. I have one of every VC number since 1.0. For OT figures, I buy multiples for MOC, and displays. So for example Yak Face, I have a mint one, a mint 40th card, one on the sail barge, one in my Jabba scene, and of course the POTF card that came with the barge. Leia I pre ordered 4 for the same reason. Finn, I only needed one.
We need more Jedi figures in our collection and hasbro better make them but see what happens
Love what they did with the arms and the gauntlets. One of the worst parts of the Mace figure is how the plastic draping on his forearms only looks good when the arms are facing down. When his arms are up and turned (or in a fighting pose) it looks ridiculous, like fabric defying gravity.
이정재를 무슨 동네 아저씨로 만들었냐 ....
Make a good custom base if you want to build your own Jedi's - think these will go the way of Rise of Skywalker... Limited range of figures for this series I reckon
I saw the first 2 episodes,was very good.
Leicester square premiere.
Good figure and review!
I don't agree about the mix of soft goods and plastic on the lower robes. I actually prefer a mixed media approach as opposed to sculpted plastic.
Like Tarkin? 😷
@@BossksBounty No, that was an exception and not even what I'm talking about. I'm specifically talking about Jedi characters. Quinlan Vos nailed exactly what I'm talking about in 2011 / '12.
I like the mix of plastic and soft goods on Jedi too. Makes them seem more TVC and less like scaled down BS figures.
I dig this look of jedi with the gauntlets, hopefully this prompts Hasbro to kick out many more Jedi to come. And with the gauntlets, maybe it will help with the tooling to kick out some Clone Wars armor Jedi like Mace, Plo Koon, Kit Fisto, and many more 🤞🤞🤞
The soft goods look great on him indeed! I would really like to see some Prequel Jedi updates using some of the new Jedi tooling, though I'd really hope Hasbro would resculpt the torsos and belts to make the accurate (like they've done with most of the Imperial Officers). I also hope they'd make them the right heights. Sol looks pretty short, so he might not be great for taller Jedi. The Black Series Kit Fisto for example used Episode 1 Obi-Wan's body and he's freakishly short. I wouldn't want them to do anything like that.
I'm a bit torn on this one at the moment. It's a really gorgeous figure and I'm sure I'll get it at some point but whether I'm going to grab it at full price really depends on how the show turns out. At the moment I'm not particularly invested in another random Jedi - if only they could put this type of effort into figures from the legacy media. So far this year Dooku is hands down the most exciting figure for me and the only other one I see potentially topping that is Leia. They have they ability to make truly stunning figures these days but it's starting to make our old collections look a bit outdated and there doesn't seem to be much hope of replacing them any time soon. Hopefully the Haslab changes that I guess
If he's as great of a character as they're saying, this may be a fantastic addition to the collection (and canon). Oh, and also, I wish his expression was a bit more neutral. He looks so dour (maybe that's his personality, we'll soon see).
Yeah he looks a bit like droopy the dog lol
@@BossksBounty 😆 👏
Great comparison review with the other Jedi(s) BB! I hope you’re right and they use the new Acolyte figure tooling to update some other prequel characters. My biggest hope from Acolyte figures is for Kelnacca and I hope his tooling will be the basis of the first new Chewbacca figure in 20 years
It’s a bit frustrating having most figures as a lesser sculpt and old paint apps. Never understood why they kept those boots for Mace…? :)))
Either I am going to sell my collection (since 2007) or minimize it and do some serious custom work.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) after the failed sequels and Obi series I am not that passionate about VC collecting anymore and keeping everything. :(
Let’s see what I will burden myself with. ;))
This is a nice figure and the soft goods are pristine! He’s my favorite character in the series thus far.
This is a great Review, Thank you Tim! Can't wait for this figure
He looks epic, but gets me more excited to get a new obi and ani
Really hoping these figures give up cool new lightsaber colors for our figures
He is a good actor, and Hasbro did an awesome job on this figure.
vintage is vintage. this is not vintage, this is piffle.
That thumbnail speaks volumes.
if there arent aliens or robots i will ignore the Acolyte series completely
Very good opening pose BB! 👏 So Little Bossk is no longer in charge of doing dynamic poses? 'And the Apprentice becomes the Master.' 😅
Thank you for your review, interesting and entertaining as ever. 👌
He may have shown me what he thought the best pose was lol
I wonder if we’re gonna see some live action old republic troopers lads?
Hoping they can reuse parts of this guy for other Jedi…and that we get more TVC figs from the Acolyte…BS got a whole wave😡😡😡
I preordered Jedi Master Sol and cannot wait to get him in my hands. My kids are not into him but they did preordered the female character and that is find. Still, they could use Sol to create a lot of Jedi from the Prequels and his own time. Thank you Bossk's Bounty for another great review.
Great figure, thanks for another comprehensive review! I love it when you compare new figures to similar older ones. That said, I do think the soft goods don't look great. While I like that the hood is tied down, from the back, the hood looks ridiculously oversized and it still looks way too baggy from the front. Better than before? Sure. But I'll definitely be displaying this one without the robe (as I do with virtually all of my robed figures.)
I think I will be picking up that figure for my collection, especially when starting a Star Wars, the acolyte action collection as well. Another error being started. I’m excited to see Jedi master soul on my screen.
Great review. If nothing else, these Acolyte Jedi should help people populate Geonosis Arena displays.
I dont think one figure is gonna do much to populate anything sadly.
@@mrmola3295 well, maybe with and without robes and some creative head swapping.
Just a shame us TVC fans get one jedi while black series fans get four jedi. We dont wanna have to make customs hasbro!! Give us more...
He looks great! I don't really want them to use the torso for prequel Jedi since he has the sculpted piping on his tabards not seen in the prequels. But I'd love for them to use this for other Acolyte or High Republic characters. I'm sure the details and fabric draping are a little different character to character but it seems like he could be used for characters like Yord Fandar, Torbin, or the many secondary Jedi glimpsed in trailers. They can also do his flashback look with short hair, which seems to have the exact same costume.
Is it just me or is your master Sol figures boots brown compared to the recent release being a maroon?
A great figure. Definitely hasbro will use this mold for more prequel Jedi.
It really does look like a fantastic figure I just ordered 2 of them because of your video great job Tim and keep up the great work my friend
I'm ready to buy
I have a feeling he’s gna go down as one of the best of ‘24 if for nothing else for seriously nailing the Jedi robe! I’m super excited for the series overall
Have you heard of the tragedy of thigh splits - its not a tale hasbro will tell you..
Looks good, hope more Jedi came from the figure- personally the Jedi master from the Return SWTOR trailer would be wonderful, and of course the other 3 characters (one has a release malgus but needs an update)
Hey BB,
No new reveals or pipelines presented by Hasbro at MCM?
Not this time
I don't know about night and day, but it's definitely cheese and chalk.
Chalk & Cheese!! lol
But will Hasbro bother to make any other figures for the series? Still waiting on Baylan, Shin and Marrok…
It looks awesome. The head sculpts these days are incredible. I'm not yet sold on the mustard yellow robes, but looking forward to the series.
No, intr
👋🏽
What!!! Lucky!!! 😍
Definitely an improvement on the robe!! I am looking forward to mine showing up! Hahaha! Blessings! Hahaha!
Great review tim. That's a good looking figure. I'll probably be passing on these figures. I'm pretty much done with the new star wars shows. They have all been terrible, and this honestly doesn't look very promising. Man I wish they would just do a knights of the old republic. I was so excited for ashoka and it felt so empty and uninteresting.
Looks great. It does to me look superior over the 3 Jedi on display. As you said,changing the belt would definitely change the whole look of the figure. Let's just see what we get now. There's a lot of Jedi that they could in theory do now!! Great video as always👍
It looks good, but the head is not 100%, think it is a bit too narrow.
good job keeping the retro line alive....
I won't buy the figure out of principle. A show made by people who call their fans toxic.
i don’t think you know what you’re talking about lmao
@@poky3933The actors and creator have literally said that. OP is correct.
To be fair, a lot of the online fandom is pretty toxic.
@@RB-NZ2 star wars fans are toxic, acting like they aren’t is insane
@@poky3933You’re not supposed to call your own fans toxic old boy. Tends to drive viewership down.
Tim strikes again w another first! Congrats. Really like the softgoods on this one. Show is right around the corner. Fingers crossed that this ends up being a terrific series. Cheers, BB!
Nice looking figure. The upper torso could be used to make a more screen-accurate Luke from the Mando season 2 finale.
This figure looks great. The head sculpt is stellar, and you're right, the robe is ten times better than what we've seen in the past. I just wish they could make them so they looked good with the hood up. I don't think the Black Series hoods are any more successful at this than the TVC ones are. I love that pop of gold on the tabard - it makes him so much more dynamic-looking than the usual boring tan/white/brown Jedi outfits. But, it looks like every Acolyte character has that same look. I wish each character had more of the their own individual costume design going on - Even as part of a team, or a school, it would be cooler if they were more distinct.
I believe the black series ones are pinned down in the same way. The only way they could sort the hood is with a bit of wire. Would up the cost though!
Your eyes.... Your eyes can deceive you. You must not trust them.
Definitely a cool looking figure/character and to me a very good likeness. I also had no idea he was the main actor from Squid Game , thanks BB for the info!
He didn't have that long hair in Squid Game, lol.
So glad the hood is pinned down!! Woot
This has been released? I thought it didn't come out for months
You need to follow me on Instagram to see the whole story.
Is it a all new sculpt? Sorry if I missed you saying this.
Yeah it is
Really great review and figure. I'm getting excited for the show now! All the best.
Would it kill you to show off more articulated poses?
I am sorry that a half-decent figure will be a shelf warmer because of the show looking already very disappointing.
I have heard positive things from the people that have seen the first 4 episodes
From what I have heard about the plot of the show, it's a hard pass for me.
Wait 4 months and you can pick up the figure for almost nothing.
