Darth Maul and Revan are both grails in their own right. Yes this is the best skew of Star Wars announcements in ages
Grail comment
Dark Empire was a comic series from 1988, it was some of the first expanded media content we ever got that took place after the OT. Palpatine is alive, Luke wants to battle the darkside internally like his father so he joins the Emperor, Palpatine gets cloned into a young body, it's a pretty crazy storyline lol. It's also peak Luke power, like blaster bolts just magically reflect off his skin and he can crush AT-AT's with the force. Power levels are really high. That Last Jedi scene with all the AT-AT's firing at Luke was ripped straight from these comics.
Rise of Skywalker was pretty much a super sloppy retelling of Dark Empire. Like, right down to the ending lol.
Damn, this sounds like a super interesting story, crazy how the sequels ripped it off lol 😂 it’s definitely something I can make a video on in the future. Thanks for watching!
Everything is pretty cool, but is the hot toys artisan line just becoming a normal release but with rooted hair? I’m not sure if people would pay more just for that.
Yea pretty much. And I’m pretty sure people are willing to pay more for the rooted hair, similar to how it is with InArt. Wish they gave another bonus such as real leather on all of the artisans, missed opportunity imo
I'm really pumped & very hyped for the new Dark Empire Luke figure. I genuinely thought it would end up in Howard Chan's figure graveyard like Will said. Sure, some people probably don't like the Artisan hair for Luke, but to me it looks just fine and I don't see any problems or issues with it. Even the sculpted version looks just as amazing. Also, I really enjoyed your Starkiller video and I hope to see you make more in the future & you could do Darth Revan for the next Star Wars Character Breakdown vid. Have an amazing May the 4th weekend & may the force be with you Riley 🔥💚.
Dude thanks for the amazing comment. Yea the hair looks solid on both I prefer sculpted personally! I’ve definitely heard a lot of people clamor for a Revan video, maybe even a dark empire Luke video!? We shall see. Appreciate the support 🫶
This Darkside event is 🔥 Great releases! Revan, Starkiller and Maul with Speeder are coming home. That new Luke looks great, but I don’t know enough about that storyline…
So fire bro, they’re going all out! Thanks for watching man 🙌
What's up Riley!! Agree that Maul and Revan are amazing! I needed an update to my Sideshow Maul. Great video man,! Keep up the strong work and content!!!
Yess both are insane! Thanks so much man really appreciate the support 🫶
Happy May 4th, a special one most definitely
Same to you, it sure is!
Yeah this is a must have for those who missed out Maul like me 🙂 The only thing I hate about this one is pleather on the waist 😮💨 I mean they could have just made with solid robbery material like Revan(Straps on the torso armor)
Yea man pleather is just all over Star Wars figures unfortunately, they gotta find another solution for figs like this. Thanks for watching!
This Maul 2.0 is insane. The sculpt is vastly improved on an already great sculpt. Not sure I want the speeder or not due to cost and space. I'd call it a proper 2.0 because the sculpt is different with better paint apps, vehicle is LED lit, USB lightsaber, and the robes are actually changed to fit better.
I'm hoping they're not done with announcements. I want a 2.0 Dooku, Sidious on his throne, Qui-gon, and many more. Keep it coming Hot Toys!
There’s so much more they can branch out with this. I agree, you’d think the DX16 sculpt is pretty perfect but the fact that it’s even more accurate is insane! Thanks for watching 🔥
I’m liking the Shadow Trooper re-issue
Yeah that’s a nice looking trooper for sure, with a great backdrop!
Luke Skywalker is definitely a pass for me I like the character but I don't need to own every single thing from Luke Skywalker and I much more prefer original trilogy with Luke Skywalker seeing that they made an artisan out of this gives me hope that they would create Farm Boy Luke Skywalker there's there's no reason for them not to and we may get a Artisan from that as well if the short rooted Hair Works
I would say 2022 may trump it personally. But the Darth Maul even while being a reissue parts is exquisite! Starkiller and Revan were both top tier as well
That’s fair, I think this is the most exciting personally
I couldn’t have ordered that Maul fast enough! Not too long ago I had be thinking of getting one from eBay but so happy I held out for the 2.0! He looks AMAZING!
Let’s gooo definitely glad you and I held out. This is most definitely the ultimate maul figure. Thanks for watching!
As far as best May 4th ever is definitely Up For Debate considering that for the past 2 weeks they have hit us with some excellent figures to be 2.0 re-release and reveal but I definitely can say and I think everyone would agree these announcements this year is way better than last year it pretty much has been a large variety of new and up-and-coming
Of anything that Star Wars could have given people Darth Maul was my number one cuz that is the best way to start out this anniversary Line This deluxe version with the speaker back is a day one pre-order for me but I might pick up the other Mall because I want the other one to be with his bike and this other one is going to go with the other Maulalorians figures what is definitely a must-have for me I have always wanted one I refused to get the one from solo so I'm glad that my patience paid off
Apparently you haven't seen The Wonder Woman WB 100 with rooted hair as it's incredible and rooted hair is amazing!
Fair, haven’t seen it in hand but I heard mixed thoughts on the hairline of that one. Thanks for watching!
@@Riley.ReviewsI own it and the hairline is perfect
To be the best??? Idk man, a lot of it is reused parts, but tbh Revan alone puts it at goat tier
That’s fair man, I feel like everybody loves Revan lol
I would say so, if you count Revan
Definitely, Revan is so sick!
The thing about it is people where they get themselves prepared because young Obi-Wan Kenobi is definitely coming might be an artisan and when he is officially arrived I know people are going to be scouting looking for that Qui Gon that they slept on because you have to have him and the master and Apprentice look on a person's display and hot toys would definitely I believe would give us a 2.0 Qui-Gon cuz this time this one will have moving eyes and a USB lightsaber compared to the original one that they did
AMAZING thoughts Stryker, love how in depth you are with your comments, keep em coming! I appreciate the thoroughness 🤘
I hope these figures sell well. Maybe we will get a sith trainee Starkiller
I really hope we get that and his Jedi outfit. A Headsculpt of him would also be amazing! Thanks for watching
Let’s gooooooo
Super hype! Thanks for watching
I LOVE ALL GOLD CHROME!
Hey it’s for someone for sure. Thanks for watching!
I already have the past Maul, I don't think that I will order this one. In other hand, for the fans who love the real Canon of Lucas aka George Lucas Expanded Universe, I will order the Luke dark side and the shadow trooper.
That’s fair, I’m really happy with the new sculpt! Happy you’re picking up that dark empire Luke, will look great with other figures 🙌
I knew they were going to give us a clone trooper because that's almost a guarantee but here is my thing I'm not a clone collector I'm more of a trooper collector but why is it they have to do the same one over and over again and they are other different types of clones out there that haven't been created and they shouldn't have made this an exclusive considering that all these type of chrome exclusives all have gone to the Bargain Bin and this one is going to be joining the other one that they have done now this one with the goal although it will look unique on a shelf it pretty much looks like a trophy that somebody would get to congratulate them for having the best Clone Trooper collection
This May 4th is very mid. 2.0, Luke cosplaying/kitbashing with his daddy’s diaper pants, gold trooper and only 1 genuine new figure. I’m not counting Starkiller and Revan as part of May 4th since that was tail end of April
That’s totally valid man, I’d say if you take out Revan and Starkiller it isn’t so good. But I’d count both since it’s all part of the “Darkside” event 🙌 thanks for watching!
