    I'm glad that you brought up Chewie because I think we might end up finally having the Definitive Chewie in my opinion. Also I find it ironic That not only we have ANH Leia and R2 But it's really sweet how they're finally Giving the fans Han Obi Wan And Luke also From ANH That everybody and their grandmother asked for so the Original crew is building up.

    Love this figure can't wait to get mine. I agree any figure that comes with a gun, should have a holster period. I'll take as many background Mando's from the covert Hasbro wants to give me. 4 packs are ok too but I love that they are keeping with the Kenner tradition of background characters on single card, Weequay, Nikto, Hammerhead, ect. I'll take as many on card as they want to make. I collect both MOC and open for display so pretty much buy two of everything. Fantasic looking card.

    0:30 I agree on this point, we need those characters, a Moff Gideon in Mando armor would be cool. And with all these easy Mandalorian repaints / retools, I’m surprised Hasbro has not released a Dinn Djarrin or ROTJ / TESB Boba Fett with the updated barbell hips, and in Fett’s case a posable range finder, peg holes for jetpack flames and like his dad, Jango, a peg hole on his gauntlet for the flamethrower effect. Still the Judge is a cool design to diversify our Mandalorian collections! Great review!

    Very cool! That's great to hear you're getting it on the early side as well. Oh yeah, I totally remember it, but I've heard some speculation that it might be a carded 4-Pack. Which will have some of my favorite designs from that Shriek Hawk party. Which is going to be cool, but I also don't think it would be a bad idea to have a really generic army builder 4-Pack that we could mismatch the arms and helmets to make some covert Mandos as well. ✌️😎😎✌️

    He does look nice, but it's really a tragedy that they've taken a step back in knee and elbow articulation after getting it really good on the Obi-Wan TV show wave. I am also not all that interested in these nameless background Madalorians, so this release doesn't do much for me (and neither do most of the current pipelines).

  • @ToysAreTheWay

    Yeah I am not sure if it's something that is being overlooked during the sculpting process or the engineering, but it's certainly not ideal. It's an off and on issue as well, Hera, Dooku, and Huyang just to name a few had no issues. I hear you on the background Mandos, I really think they should be putting those in a 4-Pack instead. I'd really like to see Vane, Gorian Shard, or Dark Gideon instead. ✨🙌😎🙌✨

    He looks good. Like with Kanan and Zeb I think having these figures is a good way for people to have some version of these characters before receiving the Haslab or if someone didn't back then at least they aren't feeling left out and can have these characters in someway shape or form. Ezra is going to look great in displays and like I said with Kanan he could also be used as a good use for customs. The more uses out of a figure there can be the more people are going to want one beyond just having him in collections which is obviously a good thing because been it's long overdue but it's always nice to discover new ways a figure can be reused for something else. I do think if Season 1/2 Ezra was made that would go a long way to making a smaller body for younger characters that aren't kids either. It'd be an in between that could have more potential but it'll probably be awhile before they get to it for that reason. Anyway I think that's it for now but knowing me I've forgotten some stuff. Looking forward to the next video and review.

    I'm really impressed with the portrait and photo real. Hasbro really did a phenomenal job with Ezra. Yeah I'm pretty sure the fact that S1 Ezra is younger and smaller, it will require 100% new tooling, and therefore going to take some time to develop. But I also think it's important to get these out while everything is hot. 🤘👽🤘
