Ray Stevenson played Baylan perfectly and made the character his own. What a lovely guy, i met him at Star Wars celebration not long before he passed, what a shame, he was loving playing a Star Wars live action part and this figure does him justice, thank goodness. The head sculpt is spot on, i love this figure, can not stop looking at it and posing away. Great review Justin.
I’m blown away by how much it looks like Ray, he was one of my favorite Star Wars characters. RIP Ray Stevenson 😔🙏🏼💙. He brought the character to life, he put real emotion and passion into his character.
Got this guy a few days ago and he's one of my favorite figures in my collection. Just absolutely love his aesthetic, and was the best thing about the show imo. Thanks for sharing!
The Ahsoka line may end up easily being the greatest line of figures ever dropped by Hot Toys. Great line for materials, head sculpts and outfit likenesses overall. Justin, have a nice day!!!!
I was surprised that Baylan was released long in advance, I wanted to see more of Baylan I think he was the best part of the Ahsoka series, I didn´t noticed the orange color of his saber in the show, I thought it was red, the figure looks amazing I liked that you can make the hood look like we always wanted and the headsculpt the best part of this figure, I am definitely getting him.
This is giving me Count Dooku and A New Hope Obi Wan vibes when it comes to the quality of the headsculpt, and presence they are just able to capture that aged wise war veteran look
Awesome job Justin this reveiw is fire I must have one of these baylan was awesome in the Ashoka show in fact he is one of my top three characters in all of Star Wars definetly ordering one of these
@@JustinsCollectionno problem this is one of the best hot toys has done can’t wait to get mine I just wish ray was able to continue this character for season two whoever replaces him will be nowhere near as good he was perfect for that role RIP
I try not to expand too much into star wars with my collection but I loved Baylon and Shin in Ahsoka. And I feel it's only right to get Baylon as a way to pay respects to the late AND great Ray. The headsculpt looks incredible. Can't wait to get mine in
This is a stellar release. Curious to see if Shin Hati lives up to this. Too bad I don't collect Star Wars, anymore. Otherwise, I'd pick one up, for sure.
Hi Justin 😊. Hope all is well with you. What a great figure! It’s another situation where a figure of a character takes on more than just the character itself. And he was incredible in this part. Would have never guessed that SWC in London would be the last time we’d see him. And what a figure this is, everything amazing about this character seems to be captured here. Remember his countenance? It’s so perfect here. We were lucky to have him in Star Wars, thanks so much for the video 😊💎
Wow, what an amazing figure. Once again Hot Toys does a great sculpt for a dude over 50. Would love to see them tackle a non-sithy Palpatine from Ep 1.
Fortunately, your videos have been improving with a calm voice and taking your time to explain everything. In the past, in very old videos, your voice was fast and it was almost impossible to follow your explanations. Nowadays, in recent years, your voice is much calmer, you can perfectly follow each and every one of the explanations. Congratulations Justin. You make excellent and well-paced reviews, calculating the times and in a calm manner. It is a pleasure to watch your videos in recent years, as you have been transforming and making the videos calmer and emphasizing all the accessories, the figures and their complements, defects and virtues and insistently emphasizing that Hot Toys stop using pleather in figures. And we must insist on this. You have been making new figure videos for 2 years and these are calm, with time, without rushing, going and reviewing everything by hand and with very reasonable opinions that I share and approve and agree with. Thank you for your time.
The aurebesh translates to (as best as I can tell) "TRGT DAT" on the left gauntlet. The right gauntlet is too difficult for me to make out. I'm assuming they just slapped some random letters on there lol. It would have been cool if HT put a hidden message in aurebesh to commemorate Ray.
I’m really surprised that this figure wasn’t blitzed with preorders from day one. It’s so great looking and he was the best character on the show. Really feeling the loss of Ray over this. Can’t wait to get mine in hand.
Saved to my wishlist and I have sideshow points to buy this. So exicted and I will feel happy knowing people can own a piece of Baylan after losing Ray Stevenson. He was the best part of the series. RIP
another banger this year! I would still appreciate a wire in the skirt as I struggle to pose him a certain way... hey Justin, did you ever consider making pure, posing videos? I'm always excited to see what you come up with!
Good review as always. I think another possibility for the early release is the potential recast of the character. Yes indeed, Stevenson ROCKED in this role, but if the show does return, Baylon will likely return as well. HT (& Disney) may want to cycle through any merch before that happens to capitalize on whatever actor takes the part. Just speculation. Regardless, this figure looks GREAT.
Besides the fact i'm pissed you have him already :) this is an amazing figure. Cannot wait for mine to get here. He's probably going to get here before my Sheev, Sabine & Chopper will. Question for the community, where do most of you buy your figures? I've always gotten mine from Side Show but getting tired of every figure being month and months late.
I too always thought his armour was full on black. Now after seeing the figure and looking back at him in the show, there is a slight tint of green but its all down to the lighting that hinders it. Either Hot Toys kicked it up a notch, or the show's lighting or color grading made it less noticeable.
I would have liked to see a low light look at the fusion reactor blade illuminated in hand. Maybe some gallery shots of this? Hot Toys really need to step up their lightsaber blades now that they finally provide USB power. Stop making the blade skinnier toward the tip also.
So, I guess we’ll be getting more releases from the Ashoka line soon then for I’ve been seeing SS’s and they’re all still on pre order and not one has been waitlisted as of yet. The only ones I’ve pre ordered were Baylan and Hati, waiting on Hera to see the headsculpt. Great review by the way Justin! Can’t wait for Baylan and tech to ship already!
There are other ways to simulate the look of leather without using real leather or pleather. Like waxed fabric or nylon or polyester, and sculpting the stuff to look like leather. But they’re too lazy try do any of that stuff because they’re so over reliant on pleather. It’s seems to me like somehow pleather is cheaper than sculpting plastic.
Idk why hot toys are releasing Baylan, 2.0 diecast mk 2 Ironman, and that mandalorian super commando way ahead of schedule. These were said to release next year. Can anybody give me answers?
I love this figure soooo much! The beard is not perfect, the boots are a bit weird in habd and the blade is more red than orange but honestly can’t complain about the overall quality
Wish he had more than 15 minutes of screen time in a mediocre series, but Ray did an absolutely stellar job. And this character was the standout of the show for sure. Unfortunately the next time we see him, he'll have a different face (if we see him at all) 😥
How are you, Justin? The New Hot Toys Baylan Skoll Ahsoka Figure, Reminded me of Sean Connery. The Actor who Portrayed the Father of Dr. Jones from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) Movie. That New Figure Looked Outstanding by the way. Excellent Content as always, Friend! 😎😎👌👍👍
Justin, you said the back part of his uniform looks like something from Game Of Thrones, right? So does his name… Baylan is pronounced almost exactly like “Baelon” heheh Cheers!
A tour de force of likeness and proportions coupled with another failed attempt at an illuminated lightsaber. If you have a pleather fixation and love wires and repurposed display bases HT is for you. I’m staying with Inart. Rip Ray.
Nice sculpt great figure review. I think of Disney+ Star Wars as a multi-verse. I have zero interest in anything they offer. All shows except for Andor are forgettable. Star Wars was meant for the big screen not people's laptop, iPhones, tablets, computers etc.
Baylan is a must-have character for me. Hot Toys did Ray Stevenson justice with this figure.
Agreed!
R.I.P. Ray Stevenson 🙏🏻
RIP
Ray Stevenson played Baylan perfectly and made the character his own. What a lovely guy, i met him at Star Wars celebration not long before he passed, what a shame, he was loving playing a Star Wars live action part and this figure does him justice, thank goodness. The head sculpt is spot on, i love this figure, can not stop looking at it and posing away. Great review Justin.
He did, I loved his performance honestly
one of the best star wars character design, the medieval knight motif just works
Agreed!
Every moving eye figure in Justin’s collection be like 👀😈
Legit haha
I’m blown away by how much it looks like Ray, he was one of my favorite Star Wars characters. RIP Ray Stevenson 😔🙏🏼💙. He brought the character to life, he put real emotion and passion into his character.
RIP
Immediately ordered once I discovered he passed away, lastweek. Loved him as Punisher. Awesome figure.
Damn!
Got this guy a few days ago and he's one of my favorite figures in my collection. Just absolutely love his aesthetic, and was the best thing about the show imo.
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Same!
I think baylan would go great with count dooku, I watch clips from the show and his demeanor is similar to that of Christopher lee’s count dooku.
Oh true!
Indeed!
I've order mine...can't wait to display Baylan and Shin together side by side. Love it!
I hope Shin drops early too!
The Ahsoka line may end up easily being the greatest line of figures ever dropped by Hot Toys. Great line for materials, head sculpts and outfit likenesses overall. Justin, have a nice day!!!!
Maybe!
Pre order mine months ago that’s a beautiful head sculpt and a great looking figure so glad a got one
It really is!
Wow! One of the best Hot Toys figures yet!!!! Spot on likeness!
So good!

Agreed I was also
This is giving me Count Dooku and A New Hope Obi Wan vibes when it comes to the quality of the headsculpt, and presence they are just able to capture that aged wise war veteran look
Yeah true I can see that too
Awesome job Justin this reveiw is fire I must have one of these baylan was awesome in the Ashoka show in fact he is one of my top three characters in all of Star Wars definetly ordering one of these

My favorite characters from Disney Star Wars era, Baylan & Shin, very iconic duo, RIP Stevenson 🙏
Awesome! RIP
I try not to expand too much into star wars with my collection but I loved Baylon and Shin in Ahsoka. And I feel it's only right to get Baylon as a way to pay respects to the late AND great Ray. The headsculpt looks incredible. Can't wait to get mine in
Yeah this can be a centrepiece easily
Very glad they were able to do this figure justice.
Same!
This is a stellar release. Curious to see if Shin Hati lives up to this.
Too bad I don't collect Star Wars, anymore. Otherwise, I'd pick one up, for sure.
So worth it, can’t wait to see Shin too
Baylan with the cloak is 🔥
Agreed! Beastly
Hi Justin 😊. Hope all is well with you.

Yeah that would be sick

Thank you! I always try and improve where I can. This actually means a lot to me. I often see many critical comments but this one made my day!
Rest in peace, Ray Stevenson.
RIP

Oh interesting lol
Best sculpt
It’s seriously good
Just bought Baylan...( waiting for it ) that hood is amazing. thanks for the video.
My pleasure!
I’m really surprised that this figure wasn’t blitzed with preorders from day one. It’s so great looking and he was the best character on the show. Really feeling the loss of Ray over this. Can’t wait to get mine in hand.
Agreed!
I just got my Pre-Order paid off with Sideshow Collectibles. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS!
Nice!
Hot Toys really respected Ray with that head sculpt. It is soooo good! Now HT just needs to better their sabers
Agreed!
Not a fan of the series, but he did a standout performance and I wish his family the best ….
He was amazing!
3:33, I literally heard the song in my head "We are number one".
Oh!
I don't collect Star Wars figures but this one really caught my attention. Local store near me has him in stock already I am waiting on Shin!
Oh wow!
Great video. I ordered this as soon as it became available. Can't wait to get it.
Nice!
Saved to my wishlist and I have sideshow points to buy this. So exicted and I will feel happy knowing people can own a piece of Baylan after losing Ray Stevenson. He was the best part of the series. RIP
RIP
Easily one of the best 1/6 figures I’ve ever seen. RIP Ray Stevenson.
Agreed!
Beautiful figure hot toys did amazing job with baylan skoll from Ashoka RIP Ray Stevenson 🙏
They did!
another banger this year! I would still appreciate a wire in the skirt as I struggle to pose him a certain way... hey Justin, did you ever consider making pure, posing videos? I'm always excited to see what you come up with!
Agreed so good! I may do them again they just don’t do well view wise
@@JustinsCollection that's a shame... recreating some of the signature poses is a real challenge! I'm not running a museum here after all ;p
Good review as always. I think another possibility for the early release is the potential recast of the character. Yes indeed, Stevenson ROCKED in this role, but if the show does return, Baylon will likely return as well. HT (& Disney) may want to cycle through any merch before that happens to capitalize on whatever actor takes the part. Just speculation. Regardless, this figure looks GREAT.
Thank you! Maybe that could factor in
That’s awesome. I hope they do Shin Hati justice.
Same!
Besides the fact i'm pissed you have him already :) this is an amazing figure. Cannot wait for mine to get here. He's probably going to get here before my Sheev, Sabine & Chopper will.
Question for the community, where do most of you buy your figures? I've always gotten mine from Side Show but getting tired of every figure being month and months late.
Oh I say in each video where I source the figures as it depends on which one it is
I too always thought his armour was full on black. Now after seeing the figure and looking back at him in the show, there is a slight tint of green but its all down to the lighting that hinders it. Either Hot Toys kicked it up a notch, or the show's lighting or color grading made it less noticeable.
Yeah same! It took me by surprise but in a good way!
He is spot on 💯%! Very nice review Justin
He is!
Have to get this one. Especially as a fan of Stevenson.
Nice!
I would have liked to see a low light look at the fusion reactor blade illuminated in hand. Maybe some gallery shots of this? Hot Toys really need to step up their lightsaber blades now that they finally provide USB power. Stop making the blade skinnier toward the tip also.
Oh I will consider that in the next video featuring one of their sabers
@@JustinsCollection Thank you.🤘🏻

Yes exactly! I also just rewatched the show and it didn’t even look like the hood was made of leather. Just textured fabric
Idk why hot toys are releasing Baylan, 2.0 diecast mk 2 Ironman, and that mandalorian super commando way ahead of schedule. These were said to release next year. Can anybody give me answers?
I explained why I think some are dropping early at the start of the video
Hot Toys NEEDS all your money, and NOW!
This figure has been one I've been eying for a while and I really hope it's nice
Really good!
@@JustinsCollection I just finished watching the video, and you are correct!! Really good!!
I love this figure soooo much! The beard is not perfect, the boots are a bit weird in habd and the blade is more red than orange but honestly can’t complain about the overall quality
Oh ok fair enough
I have pre-ordered mine some month ago so yeah next year can't come any sooner and that also goes with Darth Maul TPM 20 anniversary
Hope you get him soon!
Wish he had more than 15 minutes of screen time in a mediocre series, but Ray did an absolutely stellar job. And this character was the standout of the show for sure. Unfortunately the next time we see him, he'll have a different face (if we see him at all) 😥
Fair
Great review. I wish one day hot toys would make a punisher war zone movie figure base on Ray Stevenson version from that movie Rip.
That would be dope
Make it happen JUSTIN lol.
An excellent review. Just one question, do you have any updates on the Batfleck Flash? Seems like it’s not launching this year as expected.
Thank you! No updates unfortunately
Hey! How do you get a light box and turn table? Just want one to present my lego figures and my own Hot toys collectible too?
Amazon works :)
How are you, Justin? The New Hot Toys Baylan Skoll Ahsoka Figure, Reminded me of Sean Connery. The Actor who Portrayed the Father of Dr. Jones from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) Movie. That New Figure Looked Outstanding by the way. Excellent Content as always, Friend! 😎😎👌👍👍
I’m great how are you? Oh I can see that vibe for sure!
@@JustinsCollection Agreed! 😎👍
I really hope that the new Darth maul 2.0 figure does not have a pleather belt, but knowing hot toys it probably will.
Agreed
Where is Caine review? Waiting for it!!!
Soon, I was waiting a bit as I thought John Wick may drop and I could do them together
@ thank you for the reply!!
I know it wouldnt have been canon timeline wise but i wouldve loved seeing him compared to obi wan or darth Vader etc
Oh sorry
Looks great!!!!
He does!
I didn't know he Past Away, Justin!? May Ray Stevenson R.I.P.
Yeah he did RIP
If death stroke has any figures, can you do a toy review
I have
Man..rip Ray Stevenson..
RIP
Justin, you said the back part of his uniform looks like something from Game Of Thrones, right? So does his name… Baylan is pronounced almost exactly like “Baelon” heheh
Cheers!
Yeah it does, that works for me haha
Another star wars?
Yes!
RIP🙏
RIP
Rip Ray Stevenson. Wether they recast or just ignor the character, Asoka season 2 will have a massive whole without him
RIP
A tour de force of likeness and proportions coupled with another failed attempt at an illuminated lightsaber.
If you have a pleather fixation and love wires and repurposed display bases HT is for you.
I’m staying with Inart.
Rip Ray.
They really delivered on some things but let us down continuously with others
What’s your favorite figure out of your collection?
Too hard to pick!
What about what’s your favorite Spider-Man figure
Nice sculpt great figure review. I think of Disney+ Star Wars as a multi-verse. I have zero interest in anything they offer. All shows except for Andor are forgettable. Star Wars was meant for the big screen not people's laptop, iPhones, tablets, computers etc.
Fair enough!
Ray stevenson would be a better act Darth vititle
Not sure who that darth is
@JustinsCollection like emperor vitate from the old Republic sorry if I got it wrong
Y’all are gonna hate me but as excited for the figure I was I will not be grabbing him… I hate to say it but I find his eyes a little to bulgy
Fair enough
Hi
Yo
Doesnt look anything like ray
I think it does
Doesn’t look like ray at all bit of a let down
Looks exactly like him to me
Wanna be friends?
Hey thanks for watching!
hi
Hello
