Glad to have a proper army building 2-pack! Wish the droid had _a bit_ more paint but it should be fine. I'm just gonna apply a wash and/or panel line it. Luckily, I have the stuff for that already, so I don't have to buy anything. Wish the discount for the 2-pack was nicer (here in Australia, you're basically just buying two figures), but at least it's easy to get.

A little more paint would have definitely been nice, I agree. I’m just glad I already planned on customizing these so it won’t be a huge deal. I’m going to turn the B1s into the blue and red ranks that we don’t have in the line. Thanks for watching! -Nate

I have something to admit!! 😮😮 I've just watched "The Pants Menage" after the furore of hearing everyone going to the cinema again to see it... I don't think I've seen it in maybe 15-20 years since being bitterly disappointed by it upon it's original release 25 years ago, and I really enjoyed it!! 😮😮 You could knock me down with a feather duster!! I'm genuinely surprised by this turn of events...

Indeed David, much anger in you, like your ex-wife. But not enough time have I, to open that can of worms. 🐛🪱 Many minds have been changed concerning the prequels. Too late this has happened for now Kathleen Kennedy the newest Sith Lord, has dominion over the Star Wars media. Many in their ignorance and anger turned on Master George Lucas, betrayed he felt. So moved on he did, and the precious Star Wars was sold to the Evil Corporation called Disney. Once, long ago the Disney corporation, a better place it was. Boys were boys and girls were girls, happiness and families were priorities. Now, a dead husk is all that remains. The Evil is everywhere at the house of Disney. When you look at a princess and you see his mustache, evil is all that remains, question it do not.

Great review Nate, just got these guys in hand. Love sets like this because it’s how I can justify army building without buying multiple of the same figure: it’s technically a new release lol! The B1 does look plain without any paint, but I kinda dig it. Like you said, right off the factory. As for the clone, I much prefer the painted chest armor and matte face without the 5’o clock shadow of this one, but the helmet of the other, so I’ll be swapping helmets to get the best of both worlds.
