Star Wars Black Series Bespin Escape Leia and General Veers Hasbro Review
Ойын-сауық
You guys know I can't get enough Star Wars, and with Hasbro kicking it with the Photo Real lately I get just as excited for Black Series releases as any other line. The Target exclusive Bespin Escape Leia and Walgreens exclusive General Veers are no different. Sure, it's just a dude in uniform and a woman in a plain snow suit, but they are essential to my collection, dammit!

Between Hasbro’s recent advancements & the Japanese imports, it is a great time to be a collector. I am an old school fan since 1978 but these new figures are light years from where it all started.

A good Carrie Fisher sculpt? There are those who said this day would never come. What are they to say now?

I liked Veers from the first time I saw The Empire Strikes Back. I am glad I got one.
Not even finished with the review as I post this, I loved the opened scene!!!! BRILLIANT

Found Veers for $7.99 at Walgreens today! All Black Series figures are on sale for this price. Happy hunting!
Leia has a joint at the base of the neck too but it's limited by the costume collar sculpt. I'm liking these new necks when they have the base joint as well. Range is less than the disc joint, but its more natural. It works for these "real people" toys. I hope Marvel Legends keeps the disc joint though, I like the extremes on the range on muh comic book folks.
Veers head sculpt is amazing!
I got General Veers, now I gotta get my hands on that elusive Leai
I got both of these in the past weak. Been looking for Veers for months and he does not disappoint. One of my favorite Black Series figs to date. The new paint apps are really showing off the excellent sculpting that's been going on for years now. Glad to see that. I will complain about stuck joints and paint removal though. This happened to my Piett that came in the mail yesterday. Both arms/ball joints stuck. Pulling them free removed paint and now I have "white patches" in his underarms. Very annoying. I really don't want a price hike and I hate when it gets brought up, as I'm sure Hasbro see's videos like these. I know it's inevitable, but I don't think "I'll pay whatever the increase is" mentality should be so openly thrown out there like it is so much. Just my opinion. Great review though!!
Veers is pretty cool with the vest & helmut gear minus the paint-bleed on the neck (which is pretty terrible QC). I'll wait for Hoth Leia for my ESB Leia as this one does not do much for me with the all (or too much) whiteness of the outfit (even if movie accurate). Different color vest add & boots hopefully makes the Hoth version more appealing. Agree the Leia face sculpt is money. Thanks for the review.
I went to Walgreens last night and saw 2 general Veers just sitting on the shelf waiting to be taken home
Great review and commentary.
Ohhh that Carrie Fisher likeness is sooooooooooooo spot on!!!!
I finally was able to track him down and I love him and with the photo real he looks just like Julian Glover.
Leia looks perfect!
That intro hahahhaa
Leia ain't my favorite female SW character... But this Leia IS my favorite female black series❤ The sculpt, the face print and the tiny size is just too cute
Awsome Action Figure review
Thanks for another great review Robo! A definite must have for both if these figure, just need to get my hands on them now haha🤣😂
This Leia is absolutely perfect
You called Leia Lando!!!!
5:49 that killed me, I wasn’t expecting the audio change. Same with the part where you show off Veers elbows a few seconds later. eLbOw!¡!¡
General Veers, You are too close to me
Now we need governor pryce and she needs to come with armor
I was sticking to buying troopers only, but I think these releases have changed my mind. I gotta gets me a Veers!

i saw Genaral veers at wallgreens
My Veers ended up with a smudge of blue and red paint above the left elbow hinge. I have no idea how those colors got there because the closest thing is the rank with those colors but it's not even close. It doesn't bother me, I just find it interesting.
I need veers for my snow trooper and atat driver
Hi Robo. Have you seen the black series, Rogue One, Chirrut Imwe and Baze Malbus?
I wholeheartedly agree that the BLACK SERIES face printing technology is getting to be ( if not already is ) better than SH FIGUARTS . The crap thing is I have a far easier time getting my hands on SH FIGUARTS STAR WARS action figures than I do getting HASBRO BLACK SERIES ... @ least of late anyway . I mean they make the GAMORREAN GUARD available again but make him exclusive ... again .
Swap his hands with an extra Krennic. You'll have glossy leather gloves that way....or just hit them with some gloss finish!
Most of my figures are bought via Amazon. Here in Norway a figure (if you can find them, they are not that popular) starts at around $48. Amazon, here I come again :)
Question, do you think this Bespin Leia head will fit on to the Black Series 6" Slave Leia figure?

Should have retooled thrawn for veers...
I wish they’d stop the Exclusive crap. One guy goes to the store, buys all of them, puts them on eBay for 2-3x what they paid. Happens at all my Walgreens and Walmarts/Targets here. I check on each of their shipment days and they say the same thing “sold out 1 or 2 guys.” They need to make more and stop the exclusives gimmick.

Not to mention that a lot of small/medium towns dont even have all those stores. They may have a Walmart, but Wallgreens, Gamestop, Disney, Target, Barns and Nobles, Kmart, Toys R Us etc can be hard to come buy outside of metropolitan areas.
Love your videos! Do you have a link to a list of all 3.75 black series figures made? Specifically looking for Rogue One.

Problem with the use of Tarkin parts is that Veers is too short. Also his hair is too gray.
Oh dear god that copy-write stuff on leias leg is just the worst.
I wonder if hasbro will do a clone wars wave at the release of season 7. How cool would it be to get some of the clones from the show or even the jedis such as Ayala secura or plo koon.

Just James 1 definitely, honestly the more Jedi and troopers the happier I will be lol. Hasbro probably doesn’t realize how much money they would make from a strictly clone wars wave, I get a funny feeling that hasbro will release some clones when the finished season 7 comes out.
I would love to see black series from the tv show the mandalorian

My local Walgreens has a ton of Veers. They don’t seem to be pulling through. Damn, Slave Leia has some serious “child-bearing hips”. Yikes, does that look terrible.
For anyone into 1/6 scale, we are picking a random subscriber tomorrow to give away a free figure. Hoth presentation coming up...Veers is the best figure this year
Great review, as always, but, uhm Robo, you’re practically begging for Hasbro to hike their price up. Here in Europe , they’re already way more expensive, more than 30 of your dollars so, this pricepoint is still acceptible but I’m not paying more because the difference with SH F will be too small. I have the Veers and he’s just amazeballs, I hope to find the Leia here soon.

Thanks! It's a little big, as you said, but I think it's fudgeable. Now I just have to start stalking the toy aisle again.
Veers is cool but I don't need him. But I'll pick that Leia up on sight.
This Leia moved closer to the likeness of Millie Bobby Brown. How weird was that?
That mold degradation on the Imperial blaster is getting really bad. Starting to look like it was molded from Play-Doh. It's been 5 years Hasbro...retool the mold!
Well, in France, most of Black Serie are around 29€, so 33$... If they up the price it will be definitively worth it to import (I paid less than 60€ for Anakin ep3 from Figuarts)
Shit. People are buying Exclusives for $30 if they can find them. Raising the price to $23.00 wouldn't be a problem, as long as the figures are on point.
A great Carrie Fisher sculpt! She’s hot as hell!
Robo did you ever make a custom New Hope space buns Leia using the photo real head? (Or a Slave Leia custom)? And isn't the 40th Leia a whole new head (because the first sculpt was so bad even photo real wouldn't help it!). :-)
@TheFwoosh
5 жыл бұрын
I got the SHF so I'm less inclined to use a Hasbro Photo Real head for that, but Slave Leia is still on the list. And I think 40th was a repaint of the original release, can't remember if the sculpt was different.
Anybody else have trouble with Veers' belt? Mine doesn't quite reach

Nope! I drew the line at $20 and still think it is too much. They are riding the collectors frenzy gravy train that is coming to a screeching halt due to an oversaturated market. (IMHO).

I can see why you would pay for the increase because you make a living off them. For the rest, hmmmm, really gonna have to be a good character as well as sculpt! Remember, just toys and a hobby. Hobbies can die hard!

I would pay the increase because I love them, nothing to do with it being my job. I bought them long before that, and have seen price increases since before Legends was $5.88. I said I don't want to see a price increase, just being realistic and preparing for it.
