I like the Tank Driver more now that I’ve seen the ones in The Mandalorian. They are a rare case of a character looking good even without their vehicle.
Ended up staying home from work because of food poisoning today, so this was a great surprise to see. Keep up the amazing work robo! You never fail to put a smile on my face.
I dont know why people get so mad when a company occasionally sends review packages, look at this mans room, he has funded the college careers of a lot of Mezco, Mafex, and Hasbro people's kids lol, saving him $80 ain't the end of the world.
The shore troopers look pretty sweet. It definitely has more dirt and grime on the armor; good touch to a stormtrooper variant suitable for field combat
Of all the things I saw in this video, Robo's Krennic is easily the best. That headsculpt and paint is just immaculate. I don't think Hasbro should rerelease the R1 figures, since a lot of them didn't sell well the first time around, but if they released an updated head pack through Pulse, that would be the best.
A lot of people don't know this but the Gaderffi sticks are combination Melee weapon/Hand Mixers- the two alternate attachments are for mixing different things.
Star Wars The Black Series Archive Tusken Raiders are so hard to find. Finally, found only one today at my local Walmart. They came out awesome! Great review, man!👍
Death Troopers prerequisite is they must be above 6foot I think and then they go under intensive training and I don’t remember if they are given roids some sort
If I were to get myself a suit or armor, it would be a Shoretrooper for sure. Not sure if I said that here, it's been a while since I shot this video, but I'm saying it again.
Now that you mention it, this whole wave could be considered The Mandalorian characters because each of them has been featured in episodes of the show 🤔😉
" it's already dropping little fibers... " in true Tusken Raider style. haha 😉 I like the design of the Death Tropper, even if I will never see one on shelves around here. Thanks for an informative show everyone. ☺
I have the Target Exclusive Death Trooper that comes with the chest rig and pauldron. The death troopers would be my favorite figures except for one thing: the right hand has an in-out swivel wrist instead of up-down like every other storm trooper. That means these elite troopers can only hold their rifle with a weird chicken wing elbow. They also can't get as good of a pistol holding pose either.
Robo's entertaining us on the Hasbro company scrilla. Nice! I agree. The Death Trooper is too thin for a soldier decked out in armor. His uniform should add more bulk.
I missed put on the Tusken raider the first I’ve around, so as soon as these cam available I ordered two. But that’s the beauty of the archive line, picking up figures you missed the first time around.
I just learned last night that Luke's pants are basic denim jeans bleached white and the pockets removed. I wonder if they did a similar process for Tusken and/or Kenobi pants? Now I kinda want a Tusken for a Dude custom..... . I saw this wave again at Target yesterday. SO tempted to grab a Shore Trooper for my Troops squad. Based on the old ToyFare Trooper squad. Shut it, Shoresy!
Robo I like your videos. I was going to skip this wave except for the Tusken Raider. . . I have never been able to get one. Your review changed my mind. Lol now I have another wave I have to try and find. Problem in my area toy hunting in the wild sucks. Its been dry at every Wally World, Target , or Walgreens I go to around here. Picked up Count Dooku and the Shock Trooper at my GameStop. Great video keep up the great work.
Never get tired of seeing you find new and creative ways to remove the figures so the packages remain... "pristine." This very much seems like an army builder wave, and esp with emphasis on ROGUE ONE, which has got to be coming for the 5th anniversary this year.
Having started later than others I've picked up 2 Tusken Raiders, 2 Shoretroopers and one Death Trooper, I skipped the Hover Tank Driver but if they bring it out in the Mandalorian colours I'd buy that one.
Great review Robo. Yeah I'm a sucker for SW troop builders. I agree that the Death Trooper wasn't my favorite. I ordered more of all the rest though, lol. Seeing as how difficult it was to find the R1 troopers, I wish they would have switched out the Death Trooper for the Target exclusive AT-ATC driver. Always felt like the R1 troopers could work for modern military personel with maybe a different helmet & paint scheme.
The placement of breathing canister on tusken raider gets in the way of articulation. The arms might as well be some kind of super articulated arms since it has cloth goods. The lack of properly hinged wrists drives me nuts.
I saw that Tusken Raider at Target a month or so back, and I passed on it for some AEW figures. In hindsight, I should have found a way to pick it up too, as I love the Tusken Raider for some reason. Always has been a favorite of mine.
You're absolutely right Robo, the entire wave did appear in the Mandalorian! (Of note is the odd height death troopers aiding Moff Gideon in the penultimate episode, The Reckoning", of Season 1; if my memory serves me right.)
I really like this wave, just wish it was more budget priced at $15 or less. Maybe one day Hasbro will do the troop builder plus thing like with Marvel Legends. Only one that I'm not 100% behind is the Death Trooper. I like the model kit look the most but the BS is way more playable
Saw these in target stores and couldn't help but think, "weren't the shore and death trooper figures at 5below a few years ago?" I'm pretty sure they were there with other black series rogue one characters. Would be nice to know what 6inch figures would appear at five below... I can't remember them carrying a 6" ($20 retail) line since overwatch about a year ago. And then hts started selling their overwatch for ~$3.50.
I ordered the tusken raider. I think I did not care that much about them during the first release. But tastes change, and they have a very alien mad max aesthetic. I love the shore trooper as well. But I troop built over ten of those and like five squad leaders and I feel its more than enough.
14:44 As someone who has been watching your videos for a long time... I seem to have a distinct memory of you having that same revelation before as well.
@Poky in legends they are resurrected soldiers but that’s a bit much for the movies so they made them long and lanky to make them feel weird and inhuman
I was at a Target and I thought I found a Shoretrooper but it turned out to be the tank trooper which I don't want, looked behind it and lo and behold I was lucky enough to find a Death trooper. Still looking for the Shoretrooper sadly.
The Death Trooper is one of my favorite units and I just got this one, but man this figure is too lanky. I like that he's tall but the body just looks off
@@TheFwoosh I turn 50 this year and you and your channel showed me I'm not the only old weirdo down south (NC) still playing with toys (and maybe spending an embarrassing amount of money on them) the fact that we a have similar sense of humor is a huge bonus and I thank you for both
Easy to get? We will see... Habro figure sights are almost as frequent as seeing Big Foot. Unless Hasbro is willing to send me some love too... hahaha...
Does anybody know what kind of glue the factory uses to glue the helmets on the new storm trooper (hot glue, super glue etc.)? What solvent works best acetone, mineral spirits, Super Solvent?
i love seeing Robo's creative ways to open a package while still keeping the package "intact"
The imperial death trooper is honestly my favorite trooper in the franchise. The look, as well as the name makes them so cool
Robo is one of the few people on UA-cam that can brighten my week when I'm at my lowest. Thank you robo
Hey, if these video do nothing else but that, I'm perfectly happy to keep on making them. I hope your week gets better!
Same here. This does put a smile on my face.
@@FloydWaxlerStudios that's why he is on my top 5 list
2:30 - "It's very...lounge around the house, it's very bathrobe." You can hear Robo's mind go "CLICK!" when the intro idea hit.
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
Nice
I like the Tank Driver more now that I’ve seen the ones in The Mandalorian.
They are a rare case of a character looking good even without their vehicle.
I still will wait for the tank before I buy;hence I'm sadly not getting it🤦♂️
Ended up staying home from work because of food poisoning today, so this was a great surprise to see. Keep up the amazing work robo! You never fail to put a smile on my face.
Aw man, feel better, hopefully it passes quick!
Im so glad the troopers got rereleased! I finally have a chance to get them now!
I dont know why people get so mad when a company occasionally sends review packages, look at this mans room, he has funded the college careers of a lot of Mezco, Mafex, and Hasbro people's kids lol, saving him $80 ain't the end of the world.
Pretty glad they rereleased the Shoretrooper grunt, never found that one back in the day, only the squad leader.
I originally missed out on everyone except the Death Trooper, so I'm really glad Hasbro decided to rerelease these guys.
I understand it was gag, but Robo *attempting* to cut those boxes was the best part.
Enjoyed the variety in box destruction 😂
The shore troopers look pretty sweet. It definitely has more dirt and grime on the armor; good touch to a stormtrooper variant suitable for field combat
Of all the things I saw in this video, Robo's Krennic is easily the best. That headsculpt and paint is just immaculate.

I've been army building these archive troopers like crazy! Theyre hitting my local stores hard
Every time I hear "Tusken Raider" I think of "Ruskin Tator", thanks Dad.
I have never heard that, and now I can never unhear it.
@@TheFwoosh LOL
Troopers and Tuscans...definitely hard to pass for a new collector.
Star Wars The Black Series Archive Tusken Raiders are so hard to find. Finally, found only one today at my local Walmart. They came out awesome! Great review, man!👍
Death Troopers prerequisite is they must be above 6foot I think and then they go under intensive training and I don’t remember if they are given roids some sort
Like the Hoth Rebel figure I wasn't sure I wanted it until you reviewed it but I'm sold on the Tusken Raider.
Great minds think alike. The shore trooper is the best new design from any of the movies.
If I were to get myself a suit or armor, it would be a Shoretrooper for sure. Not sure if I said that here, it's been a while since I shot this video, but I'm saying it again.
@@TheFwoosh you actually did haha. I made my own 1/6 scale trooper and used a shore trooper helmet. Not sure how to show you XD
Love your reviews!! I’m super thankful to get his wave. They look soooo sweet on the shelf! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Now that you mention it, this whole wave could be considered The Mandalorian characters because each of them has been featured in episodes of the show 🤔😉
" it's already dropping little fibers... " in true Tusken Raider style. haha 😉
I like the design of the Death Tropper, even if I will never see one on shelves around here.
Thanks for an informative show everyone.
☺
2:08 titanic pose
T pose
I thInk this review convinced me to keep my Tank Driver Preorder. Only need one since like you said there isn't a tank.
Yeah, they end up just standing around, but it still a cool look for a trooper.
I have the Target Exclusive Death Trooper that comes with the chest rig and pauldron. The death troopers would be my favorite figures except for one thing: the right hand has an in-out swivel wrist instead of up-down like every other storm trooper. That means these elite troopers can only hold their rifle with a weird chicken wing elbow. They also can't get as good of a pistol holding pose either.
I really like the packaging for all of the Archive figures so far.
Tank Pilot and Shore Trooper are hands down my favorite Trooper designs
Wasn't gonna get any of these but then you mentioned putting death troopers with Thrawn and now I'm buying two of them. Damn it.
So fun to watch this. Pretty sure the mouthpiece is a harmonica. This figure represents the Tusken Raiders before they sold out and went electric.
Robo's entertaining us on the Hasbro company scrilla. Nice! I agree. The Death Trooper is too thin for a soldier decked out in armor. His uniform should add more bulk.
Hasbro defense the death troopers are technically cyborgs they can never remove their armor

Exactly why I'm getting this wave...to pad out the Mando shelf.
This is great for all the new fans to get into some troop builders. And like you said who couldn't use more Tusken Raiders?
I love the fwoosh
This is a good start, now bring on the Rogue One repaints
really like the Tusken Raider figure.
The beach trooper has the koolest look
An army building wave? Not a bad idea. I'll troop build all day boys!
Never get tired of seeing you find new and creative ways to remove the figures so the packages remain... "pristine."
This very much seems like an army builder wave, and esp with emphasis on ROGUE ONE, which has got to be coming for the 5th anniversary this year.
The AT-ACT Driver has the same body as the Hover Tank Pilot/Shoretrooper, but with markings closer to the Tank commander for a quick head swap
I always forget about that figure. In fact, I can't even find it....where did it go?
Oh, yeah!! Tuesday Robo Review!! Thanks again, Robo.
Having started later than others I've picked up 2 Tusken Raiders, 2 Shoretroopers and one Death Trooper, I skipped the Hover Tank Driver but if they bring it out in the Mandalorian colours I'd buy that one.

Finally some Tusken Raiders to go with my padawan Anakin
I got the archive shoretrooper a while ago and I’m so glad I did haven’t seen it since
My favorite of this wave!
@@TheFwoosh For sure

Just watched the Kenobi teaser trailer, looks dope

great wave.
Im so glad you reviewing this cause I was thinking of getting them from BBTS
I believe the scientific term for the mouth of a Tusken Raider is “catcher’s mitt”.
Saw these in target stores and couldn't help but think, "weren't the shore and death trooper figures at 5below a few years ago?" I'm pretty sure they were there with other black series rogue one characters.

I was glad they released the Shoretrooper since it was an exclusive the first time around.
The packaging 😩 ! 😂😂😂

I love the shore trooper as well. But I troop built over ten of those and like five squad leaders and I feel its more than enough.
An imperial combat driver would be neat for black series
14:44 As someone who has been watching your videos for a long time... I seem to have a distinct memory of you having that same revelation before as well.
The packaging is better since the figures can be put back in the package without ruining it.
I just picked up the Tank driver, his joints were all good, mine has lighter yellow on his helmet.
The death troopers are supposed to be lanky because in the comics they are dead solders who have been resurrected
@Poky in legends they are resurrected soldiers but that’s a bit much for the movies so they made them long and lanky to make them feel weird and inhuman
I was at a Target and I thought I found a Shoretrooper but it turned out to be the tank trooper which I don't want, looked behind it and lo and behold I was lucky enough to find a Death trooper. Still looking for the Shoretrooper sadly.
9:57 that really pained me
I got this wave! Amazing!!!
Troops are great
Awesome wave and great review!😁👍
Woo! Love me some Star Wars videos. Thanks, Robo!
an archive wave meant for troop building but stores only get two if each figure in cities where several thousand people want 5 of each lol
Death trooper was at five and below it’s crazy too see people going crazy for it at retail price.
They look so good im the card
I picked the series on sale on May 4th for 16.99 a figure.
You can use the tuskin staff with boba fett
For one of your next reviews you should open it through the front by cutting the plastic
The Death Trooper is one of my favorite units and I just got this one, but man this figure is too lanky. I like that he's tall but the body just looks off
As always, the best figure reviewer on UA-cam lol
Man I need aome shoretroopers and another tank driver i always liked that tank driver he needs a mech or cool tank though.
I don't know if this is a popular opinion but I love yer "dad joke" puns.
Haha, as long as they amuse someone besides me, I'm happy!
@@TheFwoosh I turn 50 this year and you and your channel showed me I'm not the only old weirdo down south (NC) still playing with toys (and maybe spending an embarrassing amount of money on them) the fact that we a have similar sense of humor is a huge bonus and I thank you for both
Idk why but 11:43 made me laugh so hard
These are My fabret star wars figures from thise line
My shore trooper has a holster with a blaster pistol didn't com with the regular blaster. It must be a newer version 😂
Congratulations robo, Hasbro sent you the entire wave before Australia! 🤣🙄
Robo, troop builders and not an exclusive hazah. There is some packaging design guy shaking his head somewhere every time you unbox;)
Easy to get? We will see... Habro figure sights are almost as frequent as seeing Big Foot. Unless Hasbro is willing to send me some love too... hahaha...
4:47 would that look good with boba?
Thks 4 the vids
Hey Fwoosh, what's your favorite Hasbro line to collect?
im gonna buy the Death trooper to do a custom figure of imperial armor CrossHair
We're already getting an official one. Bio from the back of the box leaked a couple weeks back.
Gotta love that shore trooper, right robo?
Oh, always!
There is a better way of opening the package: cut the bottom side on the sides and on the side of the cardboard. Is a lot better looking
Does anybody know what kind of glue the factory uses to glue the helmets
on the new storm trooper (hot glue, super glue etc.)? What solvent
works best acetone, mineral spirits, Super Solvent?
17:57 where did you get that mando helmet?
The first ten seconds gave me a good belly laugh
Is the cloak material of this Archive tusken the same as the original tusken figure?
It's the same.
I'm always waiting to see if a figure can kick it's own ass.
