Star Wars Black Series Gamorrean Guard Return of the Jedi Target Exclusive Action Figure
Ойын-сауық
I received my Target exclusive Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Gamorrean Guard from eBay and I'll tell you...I'm going to need more. Not at the price I paid for this one, but if you see me coming down the aisle at Target...prepare to be tackled. I love this thing.

Great review! I almost pulled the trigger on this online. I’m tired of these exclusives though. Between this, commander wolffe, Chewbacca, mimban stormtrooper, it’s becoming a pain to locate these. At least make them online exclusives. Also, please more Gus. Never too much Gus.

I got my Gamorrean Guard off of Amazon.. and not a 3rd party seller... shipped and sold from Amazon. Not sure if you’ve gotten this figure in the past couple months since you posted this comment... if not, keep on the lookout
"Pete...hey Pete! Your mother-in-law is here!!!" I laughed waaaay too loud at that one

"perfect mix of soft and stiff" (No girl ever)
went to my Target, saw 3, picked one up, wondering if i should "buy one and leave 2 for the other collectors," and behind me came a hairy arms, grabbing the other 2. Meh, he even glared at me for not letting him having the third Gamorrean guard :(

Ahhh Gus, The fwoosh mascot, an unsung hero from the black series.
Canadian here, found one in an EB games with the rest of the black series sets. Also the only place in my area you can find the last 2 newest waves of black series 6 inch figures. Not sure how hard these are to get, but I've only ever found one and pounced on it.
I got 3 of these so far (released in UK last week) and I'm just so Damn Happy having them on my shelf, each with one of the accompanying weapons😍. Fave figure as a kid so there was one hell of a nostalgia hit when I opened these😊
The Gamorrean Guard finally arrived at my local Target yesterday (8/17/2018)...only 3 short months after your review. Excellent figure, great articulation, great paint apps, surprising range of motion, the jaw opens!!!. I always enjoy your reviews.

Thanks man! And yeah, I was able to snag a second one recently at my Target, hopefully more show up.
Exclusives suck. My guess/hope is SHF will have a version of this guy, along with other ROTJ figures, later this year and early next. Hoping that SHF Emperor and throne makes it to the market as well! No other reason to re-release their ROTJ Luke! Nice video.
As usual par for the course another excellent entertaining and thorough action figure review. I love your work Robo you are the best.

I’m dying. Love the “commercial”
Surprisingly enough, I loved the opening jokes.The review is excellent as always. This is a dope fig.
I love this figure. My favorite display weapon is the one that I thought would never be used, the long pike weapon. All weapons are great. Fighting the urge to army build this figure
This could be the best Black series figure ever. Its brilliant.
Great review! I pre-ordered mine today in store at EB Games in Canada.
I've got two coming from different eBay stores. We don't get a lot of exclusives in Australia, and the last Target exclusive we got was the Poe/Riot Trooper pack that didn't seem to sell all that well. So I don't hold out hope on getting these here at retail. Can't wait for my boys to arrive. I'll probably have to get a 3rd at some point but two is my sweet spot for most trooper/guard types (except Stormtroopers, which get army built).
@TheFwoosh

I'm right there with you with the numbers. I don't have as many Stormtroopers as I'd like but I gotta get three of these, just because of the weapons. I'll probably end up with two though. Eyes always bigger than my stomach.
Loved the Gus sketch for this one
Man, I can't wait to get mine! Great review!
Great review and awesome figure
This will make a fine addition to my collection
Awesome review again robo he looks like a pretty awesome figure I hope he floods the marked like the other target exclusives
Opening mouth?!? That is so awesome!!! I don't collect black series but I may need one or three of these for my figuarts

I think they fit even better with SHF, makes the sizes a little more even.
Hey Robo, the spear thing is called a Vibro Axe, and the one coming with the new Lando is a Long Vibro Axe.
I need to get money to give this to my dad! He still has his vintage Gamorrean Guard figure and he loves it.

Definitely picking up at least 2 of theses Awsome figure!
I saw it in pictures, I saw this review, and even though I've been wanting a Black Series Gamorean guard forever I decided to give it a pass because I didn't like the look. But then I saw on in the store and this one is great. So great that I went back to the store the next day, and it's now the only Black Series figure that I've bought two of. Probably my 4th favorite after the Dewback, Speeder Bike, and Swoop Bike.
Great review, pretty damn good looking figure. Unfortunately we rarely get Target exclusives at bricks and mortar stores here. The only place I've found selling it is an online store and they're charging $65 Aussie Dollars (plus postage) which is nearly $50 US. Star Wars collectors truly get screwed down here!
Haha, great intro and a nice looking figure. Have to go hunting, plus a little bit of a repaint and it'll be sweet!
Incredible figure. I need this.
You have to own two of them (one for a left and right guard)! Hopefully, like the POTF2 1996-7 ones (without looking articulated ones) the paint shows different faces! I will look for something differentiating the two!
OMG i just realized Link finally has someone to fight on my shelf!
The vintage collection Gamorrean Guard 3.75 fig. has better paint apps. However, I’m planning on getting my hands on 1 or 2 at least. Hunting season is open...it’s on, Robo!

I’ve been going off Star Wars a bit, but that looks pretty dang good!
Amazing figure. Hope they’re as easily attainable as the Solo Chewbacca.
now we just need a 6-inch scale rancor to go along with this
I need a bunch of this guys fighting thor
So that’s where Sam I am gets his ham! As Shartimus’ goofy sidekick would say, “I love it!” I’m in same boat. Three. Then I’m good. With the opening mouth you can get the Luke choking Guard pose. I always thought that odd. Jedi don’t choke. They brain trick you. Or throw you with a Force push.

Good review and Robo is hilarious as always. $30 is probably too steep for me, seems suprising since chewie was only the normal $20 price. Oh well

That is awesome dude!
I’ve seen this in the UK but only at ridiculous prices. I haven’t seen any bellow £40 and £20 pounds is already a bit of a stretch for most figures which end up being reduced to £15

Great review as ever. But seeing it in this detail weirdly all I could think of was what does the guard do in a morning? Does he lay his costume out and have a shower, eat something then put his outfit on in front of the mirror checking he looks ok? Does he have other clothes?
Speaking of the Target Exclusive Chewie... my Target has shown them "In Stock" for about two weeks and every time I've had a chance to check, nada. FInally decided to call and have someone check (should've done this from the start) and it turns out they've had them, but they were never put out on the shelf. I was finally able to snag one, but I have to wonder why they've decided not to stock them on the shelf.

Update...still haven’t won a lowball bid under $45 Sum Asshole Always ups it at the last minute for $50 plus. Then I go back and go the bid on him to about $55, just to make him spend more, cuz I won’t pay it...unless he doesn’t go back up, then I’m struck...like I did last week on 3 “Codys’”. Lol Well, I needed 1, and I can sell the others, but my strategy usually works. I know when ppl r gonna stop bidding, or r rage bidding against me. If I’m at a mid level bid, then sum jack ass makes a $3 increase, making it to almost buy now rates, it’s fn ridiculous! Why would they jump my bid to almost buy now? Why?! Let’s say Gamorrean is at $55 at trending price. Ok, I bid to $48.50...last day, dumb ass bill bids $51.50 What’s the fn point? just buy it somewhere else. I could save 6.50. Not much of a deal, but barely. “Bill” fn goes up to a $3.50 savings.
Gotta have a few
Gonna suck trying to get three of these for a crew...
Are they doing anymore commanders in the black series besides Wolfe and Rex? Are they going to redo Gree with a removable helmet?
Anyone know when this is supposed to release? I’ve heard June 1st but I’ve asked multiple target stores and apparently this hasn’t even shipped to stores yet and it’s the 19th?
Got mine online...hope this piggy comes to Target ..
LOL...Great video!!! Keep it up!!!
Man you're really pushing these toys into my collection. I was about to pass on this one (found it at retail here at Mexico, but it was expensive because reasons), but I saw your review and had to go back for it.

hey “uncle robo” I’m thinking about giving this figure a paint job so I was gonna pop the head off... I was wondering what you think the joint is like under this massive head? I definitely do not want to break the figure but when i pull on it a little bit you can tell it’s not the ordinary ball hinge. do you think it’s safe to pop the head off with some heat?
‘‘It’s got an extra N because it’s double funn! ‘’ I lost it 😂😂 lmao
lmao! More Gus and Pete!

Little bit of extra paint on the face & body, maybe a light wash on the skin & a bit of dirt/grit on the metal sections & this would be absolutely fantastic
Is it bad that I'm more hyped for this figure than Solo??
Fucking love Guss!!
I don’t know how, but I found this in public at GameStop. Maybe less exclusive than we thought? It was $35.99.

Gus gonna steal that axe, even if he can or cannot hold it, he'd strap it to his back, cause he's Gus, he even stole his own head.
Great review! Although it looks to be a great figure, my wallet is devoted to buying the Marvel legends infinity war figures.
How about a link to target?
LOL! Have to admit that I bought an Ego figure just to have my own Gus!
lol Gus. I def need a pair of these, just wish they weren't exclusive and the snout wasn't so brown, ew.
