Star Wars Black Series Shadow Stormtrooper and Commander GameStop Gaming Greats Action Figure Review
Ойын-сауық
From the Force Unleashed we get the GameStop exclusive Gaming Greats Stormtrooper Commander and Shadow Stormtrooper. Hasbro has really got their money's worth out of the original Black Series Stormtrooper mold, so much so that they are offering a new one later this year, but I don't even care, these are awesome.

These look gorgeous. Glad I got them coming.
Just love watching your intros dude - they crack me up!
Great review as usual Robo def wanna pick these up to build up an empire display
Awesome. Stormtroopers were my introduction to this channel. I believe it was an Amazon exclusive 4 pack of sorts. Keep up the terrific job!

Great review Robo! You definitely know your SW. I've looked & looked and still can't see any difference in the helmets, lol. I never realized how many stormtroopers have been put out until you compared them all. Thats a lot of troopers!
I want starkiller!!
These troopers are so awesome! Yeah they have their quirks, but its starwars and stormtroopers! Great review Robo!
Got both of them and they are some of my favorites, the new shadow trooper even made me think of getting rid of my old shadow trooper from the shadow squadron pack
you talking about the shoulder for so long just caught your self a new sub. idk why that was so funny

It would be cool if hasbro put out a customize version of storm and clone tropers, with decals and paint, and cheaper figures.
Awesome toy photography!

Shadow Stormtrooper is a beauty
I wasn’t going to get either of these BUT... man, that Shadow Trooper is beautiful in person. My GameStop got one and I grabbed him
Love your videos I watch these to see if I should get it
If anyone is interested in picking them up Gamestop is doing a flash sale today(June 23rd but they do em often) certain collectibles these included are eligible for 15 percent off and 25 percent off for orders of 75 and 125 respectively.
Love the shadow trooper a bought a second one after getting the first.
Love your videos, enjoy watching you and your super chill personality. You've got a good voice too, think about doing some VO work, if you haven't already. Peace.
I love the toy photography at the end! Did you take those Robo?
Love these troopers
You should have shown the light through the Shadow Trooper to show the transparent parts. It's an incredible sight I was really hoping that you would have done it.
Have to cop both
Yeah, definitely getting these guys for my collection. I try to collect all black series Clone Troopers and Stormtroopers (although clones always come first for me) And btw I've played the force unleashed and for some enemies it depends on what edition of the game you are playing as you have it for the Xbox 360, the PS3 and the Wii. I have only played the Wii version (I need to get the 360 version) and I've done some research and I've realized that the Wii version is different from the 360 and PS3 versions. You encounter Shadow Stormtroopers in the Wii version just like in the other ones, however I don't recall ever seeing the Stormtrooper commander. Although there is a interesting fact about the Wii version, the intro is very different from the other versions. In the 360 and PS3 versions Darth Vader arrives on Kashyyyk at daytime and sees regular stormtrooper fighting the wookies. However in the Wii version Darth Vader arrives on Kashyyyk and it is at nighttime and the stormtroopers are not regular stormtroopers, they have the blue 501st legion marking on them, so they have regular stormtrooper armor but they have markings that are identical to the ones on the 501st clone troopers. Maybe the stormtrooper commander appears in the Wii version, I'm not sure but the Action figure has the same color blue as the 501st troopers but the style of the markings are different.
I recall getting the Stormtrooper commander 3 3/4 figure as a SWFU preorder. I kept him for years and was lost in a move :(
Bring on that new Stormtrooper sculpt. And update that R2 sculpt while your at it Hasbro.
@TheFwoosh
4 жыл бұрын
Oh definitely, that tiny R2 has paid for a new sculpt about 5 times over, need a new astromech, and then give it to us in all the flavors!
I know I am late but the shadow trooper is a type of stormtrooper that is connected to the commander, when a commander would appear in the game they could summon a shadow trooper, the trooper would phase out of stealth and begin attacking the player the moment the commander called em in
Honestly I’ll buy any stormtrooper I get mine tomorrow I’m excited
my commanders left hand split, so yeah im glad they redid the stormtrooper molds
How many different colors and paint apps can you slap on the same tired old lemon? Alot, apparently. They should have waited and used their new sculpt.

I want starkiller and Shaak Ti. Love the trooper with blue streak on helmet. Feel like he belongs in 501st
Love Star Wars
7:20 I know where you were going. That’s a good song
I tuck the shoulder pads under the sculpt and you get a lot more
Is the translucent blue black light responsive? Most of the time, that type of plastic is, but need to be sure before purchasing.
I have both, and they are really cool but idk if I should open them since they are both going for about $40 rn. And at that rate it will be about $100 in a year
Love the Commander. Got two. In my mind it could be this great Mythos renegade Stormtrooper squadron. Shadow Stormtrooper doesn't do anything for me though. Took a pass on that one.
Shadowtrooper sure is nice!
GREATINGS TRON TROOPERS
In my opinion I like the "full black" shadow trooper with the silver eyes.
I’m glad they rereleased them.
Nice video
From Canada and have had the commander since March lol
Came to see why there was a empty hole in back thought I was missing something lol
I don’t get where the color scheme came for the shadow trooper ? Why the clear blue ?
I don’t even care if this is the old mould. This figure looks beautiful and I don’t regret pre ordering it Edit: I forgot to say which figure lol, I’m talking about the commander.
Hey Yo! Love your reviews/news!! I got that stormtrooper commander and just ordered the shadow stormtrooper! My question is on that bootleg figure, how is the articulation/feel of the figure? I’m just asking because I just ordered one from eBay. It’s actually a bootleg of an 2015 SH Figuarts figure from Japan! I saw it a few years back and passed on it, but just saw it again and just had to order it! The only difference is that the sh one comes w/ only the blaster, but the bootleg one comes with both the blaster and rifle! I’m just hoping that even tho it’s a KO, it’s a decent figure🤪!! If anyone is interested, it’s listed under “Star Wars Darth Vader Dark Knight 15.5cm Set Model Action Figure a” Can’t wait you see what that’s all about!!🤣😂 Anyways! Keep up the awesome vids!! Thanks🤘🤙🌴💥!!
I really want the shadowtrooper. Cant find it anywhere here in Sweden.
9:50 I think it's the lenses that are too far when compared to the Figuarts
i got the storm trooper commander but then i saw this video and i saw the shadow trooper so i guess its time to go back to game stop
To be honest, ''The force unleashed'' has the best design, would be super cool having the navy commandos as well. I could mention the emperor shadow guards as well. I love them so much. Too bad they are out of production

You can order that KO Shadow Stormtrooper on Aliexpress still. Ordered myself a couple for Christmas last year, after I saw them here of course😁. But now with this release those two will become Blackhole Stomtroopers from the comics 😉
