    We been waiting for this two Legends for years so yes! Def picking them up cuz we might not ever get a chance and they will become grails cuz I have a feeling they will not release them again unless they make a 2.0 but that’s years down the line. Revan & Starkiller are a must!!!

      This could definitely be a fact! There really isn't a reason to reissue these since they are in the extended universe. Although, they could release alternative versions of both if they wanted to. I can't wait to see the final product and have them in hand though!

    It sure is worth it!!! I've always wanted to own a version of the Sith Stalker armor, and what better way than in a 1/6th scale figure!!

    The Force Unleashed 1 and 2 are some of my all time favorite games in general. I've got mine on preorder and I can't tell you how hyped I am for them to drop. Sucks we gotta wait an entire year though. I also hope they end up doing standard Starkiller, that would be awesome.

      I'm just happy to see them dipping into Legends now. It opens a wider range of possibilities that I'd like to rein in before my excitement gets the best of me. Nihilus, Malgus, Talon...

    Like you I didn’t grow up with the game. I know of the character, but otherwise very little. I’m on the fence at the moment, my initial thought was I’ll pass given the extensive pleather. Revan though is a must have.

    • @BostonCollectors
      @BostonCollectors  Před 2 měsíci +2

      The only thing I'll say is this, check out a video on all of the cutscenes from Force Unleashed I & II as well as the Wrath of the Empire DLC. I'm familiar with the armor, but I wasn't with the character. I enjoyed studying him before the video and I'm happy with the preorder at the moment. Like we mentioned though, that pleather could be damning though.
      I’m learning Revan is a different beast in his own right. 😅

  • @sgtwolf781
    @sgtwolf781 Před 2 měsíci +2

    My opinion on why only 1 usb saber is that his original hilt has a full exposed crystal chamber so maybe they couldn't get it to be usb with sacrificing the sabers design drastically. Revan came with 2 usb so this is the only reason i can think of why they didnt do it here.

    • @BostonCollectors
      @BostonCollectors  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Hmm, good point. I'd almost argue the design on The Clone Wars Darth Maul as that one is somewhat exposed, but easier to go around than his. Since this one is vastly different, I can kind of see it.

    I was going to pass on this figure, but then I saw it comes with GOLD COINS! They really know how to push my buttons! Too bad it doesn't also come with a sand base, but I guess we can't expect everything.
    Seriously, he looks fantastic. If money/space wasn't a problem, I'd order him (even though I don't know about the character). Hell, I still might end up ordering him.
    Thanks for another great vid, Mrs. Boston Collectors and husband.

    • @BostonCollectors
      @BostonCollectors  Před 2 měsíci +1

      You're expecting far too much. Next you'll be asking for light-up arms. Reel it in, Daniel.
      Space is currently the problem for me. I could make it, but I'd rather keep a cleaner appeal to my room though. Buying him now rather than later will save me time and money even though it isn't my favorite approach. Thanks for watching! ❤️

    It looks badass but I don’t have a connection to the character so I don’t think I’ll pick him up. Revan though …

    • @BostonCollectors

      I'm only part way through Revan's lore, and this guy is a beast. Looking forward to learning more before I share his video.

      Maybe a Galen Marek fig would be good as the light side while Starkiller is Darkside. Almost like having Anakin and Vader

    Where do you guys get 20 dollar codes?

    • @BostonCollectors
      @BostonCollectors  Před 2 měsíci

      Ah, so the $20 THANKS codes are account bound and they’re given randomly after you purchase a figure.
      So, you’ll have to spend money to save money and it isn’t given all the time.

      I have gotten those codes before, but they are never eligible for anything like this. The ones I get can only be used on older figures. I got one recently I wanted to use on that new anakin, but it didn't apply.

    The problem is not who he is. Is more like what he is gonna do?

    • @BostonCollectors
      @BostonCollectors  Před 2 měsíci

      It's both, in that respect. But, we can also take both points and make it work. Who he is can always change, just like his purpose in the canon universe. My perspective came from the super fans of the character who may feel as though he should remain who he is.
      I'd love to see something though, maybe not under the Empire but a separate rule all together where the only side is his own. Nowhere near as OP as he is in Legends obviously, but I'd like to see him at some point.

    • @TheGostalex
      @TheGostalex Před 2 měsíci

      ​@@BostonCollectors@BostonCollectors You are right, but..... half of the appeal stands with his backstory. His relationship with Vader and all the narrative possibility and evolution of it. Galen without his master and the empire sound hollow.
      It could be also an interesting view inside the mind of Vader.
      Is this new student a replacement for Ahsoka or even the son he tragically lost?😢

    Are you going to review Revan because he’s better than Starkiller imo

    • @BostonCollectors
      @BostonCollectors  Před 2 měsíci

      Absolutely! His lore is pretty deep, so I want to make sure I understand him and story before jumping on a video. I stayed away from Legends because I hear the stories are so great and I'd hate to mix things up with the current canon.
      On the way though for sure! What I'm learning so far, he's pretty badass.

    • @_SWFB
      @_SWFB Před 2 měsíci

      @@BostonCollectors I honestly had to do the same. Everyone talks about how legends is better than canon, and when Revan got announced, I just had to go look into his character. I love his story about how he became Darth Revan from being a Jedi, and his story even continues after. It’s so cool.

  • @weaponisedfarts1382
    @weaponisedfarts1382 Před 2 měsíci +1

    I absolutely love the character and I’m gonna be cosplaying as him later on in the year! Once I learned of his existence I knew in that very moment that I had to buy it. At least both versions were worth the exact same so I immediately went for the special edition version.

    • @BostonCollectors
      @BostonCollectors  Před 2 měsíci

      Awesome! Enjoy the process of building out his costume and I hope you have fun at your convention! Not to mention, I'm sure it'll be even cooler to see the smaller version of your costume in hand. 🙌
