Star Wars Black Series Jaina Solo Legends Hasbro Review

- I don't know anything about Jaina Solo. I mean, other than she now has an absolutely amazing Hasbro Star Wars Black Series action figure. Sometimes, that's enough. But the toy is so good it makes me want to go out and find out more.

I hope we can get a Black Series Mara Jade someday.
A man can dream.
Especially now since they are getting better at getting the likeness of female characters.
Yeah sorry to disappoint you but they actually did Star Wars Black Series number 14 in my God the face it looks it looks awful
not for 6 inch
@@Rangelit yeah it was the smaller-scale just like they did with Starkiller.
Top 5 legends characters needed
1 Darth Krayt
2 Starkiller Force Unleashed
3 Darth Malgus
4 Darth Caedus (to go with Jaina)
5 Cade Skywalker
Tyler Simms Mara Jade instead of Starkiller.
Agreed, especially top 3.
Tyler Simms I agree with all of these.
Anakin solo
Revan, viciate, Ben skywalker, aboloth, Cade skywalker
I really want a Jacen Solo because he’s my favorite Star Wars character we need him even more now
WHAT!? how about we never need a jacen solo figure ever. make the originals first then make the loser new movie characters. 2 reminders for you.... still no walrus man , still no hammerhead. sit back and wait for your new characters, sit and wait 30 something years for your new character like we did. man , get some perspective.
lordnagatron okay 👍🏼
Wow the dark side is strong with this one. Jacen and Jaina Solo had perhaps there biggest appearance 19 years ago, as in nothing to do with the new movies, and with 20+ Novels dedicated to them and their families adventures you can see them as quite a bit more sought after than 'walrus man' or Hammerhead. If you really need side characters that badly you could even try to make them yourself, or do some kit-bash type work.
I'd like to see a jacen solo too mostly because he's a non baby kylo ren
Agreed. I can't believe they didn't do Jacen in the same wave as Jaina. It would be awesome to get Jacen and even Anakin Solo sometime. I would also love to see a Yhuzon Vong warrior or Jorrus C'boath. Heck, while I'm at it why haven't they made a Mara Jade?
I'm surprised that they made this figure since it's no longer cannon ... Maybe they'll make a Mara Jade-Skywalker...
Yeah, or a Sharad Hett. As long as it's Star Wars, I'm good.
You have no idea how I felt when I saw Jaina at Target. There I was just looking around, the recent Black series waves have not really wowed me but there she was, standing alone among various Maz Kanatas and Poe Damerons. God it made my day. A remnant of the old days.
Just got this figure and wow. This is hands down, one of the best black series figures right up there with the sandtrooper and some other ones. The detail is amazing and this is what the black series figures should always strive for in terms of quality.
Oh I completely agree. One my least known characters I've gotten in recent times and it's become one of my favorites.
Man, I REALLY wish Hasbro teams were sharing sculpts/engineering. Black Series has left Marvel Legends in the dust as far as female articulation goes, but there's plenty of compatible bits that would save me time and/or money if they just put a darn Red Skull head on a First Order uniformed body! Or gimme some Doctor Strange/Iron Fist interchangeable hands for a Luke! That swirly ML effect piece for Vader to block a blaster bolt! SAVE ME TIME HASBRO I'M TOO LAZY
Black Series and Marvel legends are comparable when it comes to female figures.
I don't know, I think Black Series does elbows better, and they have a wider variety of feet that avoids ML's "everybody has heels for a few waves" issue.
Chuck Civil to be fair some of those pieces fit i gave my punisher grees havy blaster
Nice! I've been thinking about re-purposing those First Order shock batons to give Mockingbird a more distinctive look on my shelf.
Chuck Civil if the handle coupd fit then go for it
Just ordered this figure, can't wait to get it. I really hope one day they make Bastila Shan or Darth Malak to compliment Revan.
As someone who is a more casual, part-time Star Wars collector, I love it when they totally nail the expanded universe characters because they allow my imagination to go totally off “off-canon”. The flight gear is cool and well executed, but with that stuff removed, she looks like a perfect badass post-Jedi/Sith dogma force wielder (if that’s the direction the film series is going...) Along with K-2SO, t his is one of my favorite SWB figures.
Jaina Solo was born about 5 years after the battle of endor, and she and her brother Jacen was mainly in the Jedi academy series and took part of the yozong vong war
I've owned this figure since its release and am just now learning that you can remove the flight gear....that is awesome! Makes this figure even better IMO.
Speaking of legends characters, I'd love to see Durge.
I just got my Jaina in the mail today. I went on YT to find a review and lo and behold, Robo has done one!
Just picked her up for $17 on Amazon. Best price I could find on 2/23/19. Thanks for the great review Fwoosh!
Wow, wasn’t expecting the articulation on this one to be so top! Would love to pick up a handful for some customs.
Fwoosh's mom in the 70s action figure
I can't wait to show her!
We need that type of elbow movement on our legends along with those waist crunches
marvelite 1749 Right?! Hope Hasbro actually uses this articulation even too make the arms even more greater with double joints and bicep swivel just thinking about that would a
Amazing
Really Robo? I just cancelled this pre order because I was gonna get another figure. Now I gotta go order it again because of you lol. Loved the review. Also we need need need an Anakin Solo.
Haha, it's not my fault! Hasbro just did too good a job here!
I agree! Did you hear how they came with the face for this? They merged and overlay features from both Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford's faces to create her face.
nostalgiatrip1
That’s pretty cool!
Where did you read this, man?
When I get my hands on this figure I’m gonna pose her fighting my Kylo ren.
lol
I'm glad I pre-ordered. She's gonna be impossible to find on the pegs in my area! Only saw one Thrawn (immediately grabbed him).
David Torrey her and THRAWN are everywhere dude not over inflated prices either
David Cosgrove man, that's lucky. I don't know if my area just sucks at getting stuff or if the local scalpers just get it all before I get there, but I haven't seen anything except Kylo Ren's since November. Maybe one or two General Leia's and Poe Damerons
David Torrey ebay
toyspark theyre Chinese 100% reliable and genuine product
usually free ww shipping
look for reputable sellers who deal in figures, not some randomer looking to make a profit
David Cosgrove Thanks! I appreciate that!
I just received this figure from Amazon tonight, after it sat on my wish list for a few years. I had found it interesting that they made a release of THIS character. So I nearly bought it outright, but decided to wait. Wish I hadn't, but the one I received had a damaged box, but on the plus side the figure is perfect. No weird joints, no crap paint points.
Best all around figure of the wave! I got 5 of them just so I could open one and check it out. They really stepped it up on this one
Neat, I didn't know the flight harness was removable.
The figure looks just as good without it too!
I remembered seeing it like this on display at Celebration or SDCC, but I didn't think too much about it because I had no attachment to the character. It's amazing though.
Man, you can do some good poses with this figure! EPIC!
Glad i decided to order one of these. I've been waiting to finally dip my toe into the black series line and i think this was a great one to pull the trigger on.
You picked a hell of a figure to start.
Just got mine last night, really awesome figure. Honestly my favorite human star wars figure from hasbro in a long, long time.
I think I can agree with that. Just a fantastic figure all around.
I think I'm going to go back and pick up the one I saw after watching this video. Thanks for the review
The 'expanded universe' was so cool. This figure proves it.
I used to love all those comics, and my wife read a lot of the novels. I can see why they did away with it, it started to kind of paint them into corners and eat itself, but there was a ton of great stuff there.
What you say has truth. But it was a George Lucas end from a George Lucas beginning. Only Mozart can complete Mozart.
I'll give you that, sounds about right.
Actually Lucas really didn't care for the expanded universe, the clone wars cancelled out a lot of novels written about that period. He even changed the name of Korriban and he really wasn't happy about Timothy Zahn naming Coruscant. He tolerated it because it made him money.
I had heard as well that he didn't read a lot of the EU novels. And that he didn't care for some of the story arcs and thought that writers were sometimes overzealous. But I also heard he had final say so over all EU content. Keeping tight control over it's continuity. The Star Wars EU had hundreds of architects. But Lucas approved the design and put his name on it. And in the case of Darth Maul's double lightsaber, he even took from it.
Juana is out there, now people want Jason
She'd be a good custom for Quake from Agents of Shield
Chase Berry or black widow
Jaina Solo v Darth Revan looks like an alternative reality to the Vector run where OT characters time warp all the way back to the Old Republic, I really like that picture
Jaina is hasbros best female articulated mold. Black series females are getting all the articulation love. Disney must be paying them handsomely
Great review, Robo!
Picked up this figure today - after a week of hunting. Toys R Us is lagging in my area, and Wal Mart isn't even trying anymore - lots of Rogue One peg warmers and very few TLJs showing up.
Vintage Stock to the rescue! They had a dozen of Jainas (I was expecting her to be a premium in the case).
Excellent figure! Articulation is tight/firm to the point I needed to be careful - like you - with the ankles. Good movement, actually with the neck joint. It takes a little work, but got her head to look upwards a bit. Neat waist joint, too.
The "blade" was well-fixed and took some work to remove. Took some work to get it back in, but it snapped in place - and held! Wasn't floppin' around. Scary trying to do it, so I probably won't mess much more with that. But dangit! It hangs so well on the belt!
Maaaaaan I wish I had a local Vintage Stock. The nearest one is an hour away.
She's fantastic!!! I can't wait until mine ships...
This is one special black series figure. As a devoted Figuarts convert, lack series figures need to be wicked good for me to pop on one. Having said all of that it's one of my favorite figures in my 6" collection.
It's crazy what Hasbro can do when they put their minds to it. More of this.
Just ordered the captain rex today and this figure looks great
I have the HasCon Rex but I'm excited about the new one because of the face tech. I'm ready.
For the lightsaber, the same thing happened with my 40th anniversary Obi-Wan
Is the peg short like that? I don't think I've had this problem before.
The Fwoosh It looked pretty similar to this one but I'm not sure as I couldn't manage to remove the blade completely from the hilt. Then when I gave up and pushed it back in and it was loose. It's the first time it's happened to me too.
The Fwoosh I was trying to get the blade out of the hilt on my obi wan and ended up snapping the peg off, now it has a permanent place on the belt hook
@Greedo If the peg itself is stuck in the saber, you could try something like a pinvice to get it out.
Finally black series has up their game.
This figure gives me hope the will make an Iden Versio figure. The engineering behind these Black Series figures seem to be getting a lot better.
So this might not have to do with the video, but I need suggestions on which figure I should get next. I have a 30 dollar amazon gift card and I'm choosing between Jango fett and a scarf shoretrooper. Who do you guys think I should get?
I like Jango, but as far as figures go I love the Scarif Shoretrooper. Just an awesome design and figure.
The Fwoosh I personally like Jango 's design better so I do not know who to get lol but thanks for replying😀
With the flight suit it gives me top gun vibes
Robo's mom is a Solo. Awesome!
Great review, Robo! Happy new year!
Nice looking mom, bro. Just realized most of my black series figures are “Legends” after I get this one.
cool. I read the books with Jaina Solo. They are good. I ordered it from Dorkside toys. I had an Entertainment Earth pre-order but, like an idiot i cancelled it because of poor budgeting. I look forward to adding this to my collection.
Lol we were missing a comparisson with her cannon brother Ben Solo. Nice figure tho, this example might make me want to get this characters for their designs and articulation since I know nothing about them.
Haha, I didn't even think of that, even after mentioning it at the first.
We need a starkiller now!
Great figure. She looks great on a speeder bike too. Not much she can't do. ♡ it!
Now if Hasbro can make this type of articulation on a female figure then they can totally do this for the Marvel Legends female characters. It's still would be great if they had double jointed elbows even bicep swivel. Still the arm movement is amazing on this figure so much customizing ideas for this female body
Exactly. It's a little bit noticeable but so is most of the other POA.
The Fwoosh Exactly I hope in the future Hasbro listens to fans who have been asking for articulation like this on Marvel Legend female characters. Also I hope they continue too applying this articulation for females in the Star Wars Black series line Robo it would benefit alot on their figures and I can see this body re-used for more female characters
This perfect without the accessories is perfect for custom movie X-Men heads and even other female characters like Quake
I have the same ankle problem on my figure to!
I really hope they do more legacy figures
I hope Hasbro used the Jaina Solo mold for future Female Black Series, like Clone Wars Ahsoka, Ventress, & Aayla.
Jaina Solo was worth the buy !
Got this figure the day my Toys R Us got the wave in store! Some nice surprises with the elbow and waist articulation and removable flight gear (I didn’t realise this for about 3 days after I got the figure!)
I also had exactly the same problem as you with the ankle articulation, so it may be a design problem and not a QC issue, which is what I thought when I got mine.
On a side-note, I wonder if the Black Series ‘legends’ and Rebels figures will feature the new face printing tech once that comes into play, as they’re not trying to replicate any actor’s likeness...
Sorry for the essay!
Next time I run into the Hasbro team at a con I need to ask that. The Marvel Legends guy did talk about that, not doing the comic figures with the face print because of no likeness, although they could scan anyone they want onto there. Plus the years and years of previous comic Legends to match up with. But with Star Wars, this is only the 6th character to not appear in a movie (if I counted right) and it seems Hasbro has always tried to make them more realistic to match up to the movie figures. I'd be okay with a random person scanned onto the figure. Hell, run a contest. Hmm.
Cool figure. But i'm surprised they chose this character over Starkiller. Looks like we were never getting a 6-inch black series starkiller
She was part of the fan poll that was run a few years ago. I want to say Starkiller was in it but Jaina won overall.
She is the sword of the Jedi who piolets a stealth X-Wing. Jaina and her brother Jason are super expensive in the 3.75 size. Hasbro have no excuses when it comes to female articulation, they should do this for the legends line.
Super special Mom edition action figure.
I'm jelly.
I'm totally taking it over next weekend and showing her.
That base would be great for an Agents of Shield Sky or Agent May!
It's a little small but would work in a pinch I think.
Damn Hasbro, don't remind me how great Legacy of the Force was now it's not cannon. I had to put up with a lot of crap building up to it but that series was great.
Hing and diaphragm joints!!!!!!!! Mind blown.
I know, they're killing it.
really nice figure. if i ever see it in the UK i'll prob get it despite not really getting Black Series much its a black hole i don't want to go down. gotta say the head sculpt as well as looking like the fwoosh's mum lol i also think she looks a bit like the actress Odette Annabelle currently in Supergirl who is playing the evil character Reign could be used as a custom i'm sure
I found mine at target today by chance almost thought it was a Jyn Erso and then I looked again.
they use the Erso mold for Jaina.
Fantastic figure...
Great review as always! Very comprehensive.
Thanks, glad you dug it!
A white jumpsuit would work for a Darkhorse Pilot Leia
Dang you...now I must find another. And another.
Put mary jane or dark Phoenix hs on her and u get mara jade. As always Robo great vid.
Ooo, nice. I'll admit, Jaina was one I was going to pass on, but that face looks great, though that begs the question as to how the other face paint app have been so off before now, and I don't that comes does to not knowing the character from a film. Alright Sloth/Rey should be a bit of a one off, but some of the others have just looked plain bad, but clearly they can do a decent face paint app without additional shading/washes over the top...!?
The way I understand it, changes take a long time to implement. If we gripe about something and they listen, it's going to be a good 10 months to a year to get something done about it. Plus I heard that the SWBS factory was the old ML factory, before they got good, so they were fighting with that too.
"Mom" Solo is sure to be a popular figure. :)
Not want to sound creepy or anything but your mom must've been beautiful in the 70's: I really like this face sculpt. Only you can do these kind of reviews where you conjur up so much enthusiasm for a figure I had zero interest in getting( because Legends is really not my focus) but now I'm roving around the Amazon to get her affordably. ( because here in Belgium blahblah expensive, blehble....)
Great review!!
Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I really really love this figure, but sorry to make you go hunting, haha.
Bought this as a Quake alternative
Yes go watch TCW I was like you and thought the cartoons would be corny. I was very wrong I’ve watched all 6 seasons at least 10 times through now and it’s probably my favorite time period of SW now. I’m not saying it’s better then empire or Jedi. Great review thanks.
Is there any store that sells those figures to Europe (Spain) without paying so high prices for shipping??? I wanted to preeorder the Island journey Rey but shipping was about two Times the price of the figure on Entertainment Earth...😖
use pledge or nail polish on the saber peg to make it wider.see if that helps the floppiness
Ooo, good call, thanks!
Nice figure where does it fit with my collection? Probably will keep it in box.
Oh a Robo review and wrestle kingdom 12 tonight 2est. Perfect day
Damn, I forgot to research on how to watch WK12, and didn't even consider the time zone difference. Looks like I'll be YouTubing most of it tomorrow, haha.
The Fwoosh well you could always subscribe to NJPW world (it's the official website) or wait till Saturday cause Axs TV will be showing Kenny Omega vs Chris Jericho and Naito vs Okada
The Fwoosh are you only into NJPW or are you into anything wrestling(that's not TNA)
I preordered this figure from gamestop and they sold all of them and now I'm having to wait. Where do you preorder yours from? I'm tired of the gamestop run around.
I got in on the Amazon pre-order a long time ago, got it last month some time.
Mine didn't get closed, but I've been calling them every few days and checking their stock and according to my store they have still have not got theirs mean either distribution internally and/or Hasbro has screwed them and either shorted their pre-order or not shipped them any at all.
You should go to think geek,they sell a whole lot of figures there.
Jaina got her good looks from her mother
I hope we get some obscure black series legends figures (jeez what a name)
Yeah, it's getting kind of ridiculous, like naming both the 6 inch and 3.75 lines Black Series. But yeah, I'd take a Sharad Hett, Dark Woman, Kir Kanos, Carnor Jax, Quinlan Vos, and a ton of others. Tobbi Dala.
Yeah I hope we get some really nice and unique body molds for customization
Just ordered mine she will look good right next to her uncle Luke in his Land Speeder.
I’m sorry but how do you not know who Jaina is? I love her! She’s one of my favorites!
I just never got into the novels and such. More movies and comics.
Kylo Ren is the poor man's Jacen Solo
Oh the articulation possibilities for the female marvel legends
Jaina is basically the expanded universe version of Rey.
Correction, Rey is a rip-off of Jaina Solo. Also kylo Ren is a rip-off of Jacen Solo.
Like you, I know nothing about Jaina Solo, but how awesome is this figure of her? I had to order a second one just so I can have her in her flight suit and helmet and also without it at the same time. I’m certainly looking forward to future Black Series figures. Jaina has reinvigorated me.
I really want this and i dont know why
Hasbro plz make a black series of the eternal twins, valkorion, darth marr, republic trooper, sith empire trooper, and darth scion
Black cat custom maybe
Got a Sabine and was disappointed with the articulation because of the lack of an ab crunch that this figure seems to have. I also have some ahsokas pre ordered and noticed that those don’t have an ab crunch either. Idk why they don’t want to use this type of buck on the female characters because it seems to work really well. Just my two cents.
Just bought this figure off amazon uk for £15 which i figure a bargain as she difficut to get in the uk
So excited for mine to come in! I really hope they keep making Legends figures as a rare but high quality treat for us older fans. I wonder who they will have next. I'm thinking Mara Jade, Kyle Katarn, Bastila Shan, Darth Nihilus, HK-47, or reborn Palpatine are pretty much the highest contenders to be next. What do you guys think?
SHARAD HETT!
Sharad or his son A'Sharad?
XuntosIzor Preferably both!
Hey im gonna be moving out near your area in a few months i never knew you lived there untill i saw the description small world right
Oh yeah? Nice! It's pretty quiet around here but kind of slow (sometimes) for toy collecting. Get ready for a lot of old stuff on pegs and more online ordering, haha!
I want a darth talon and a jacen solo and a young Jacen and Jaina
You mentioned her being a great body for customs. That being said any suggestions? I have the ventruss head from the unleashed. It’s too big for most the smaller heroines and too small for the large ones like thundra etc.
We need a bespin han!!! Ahhhh!!! lol i know but its the jacket and brown pants i just love the look of that han sorry off topic great review!
No no, I'm right there with you.
Wouldn't surprise me if Hasbro is just waiting for the ESB 40th Anniversary to put those out on the Kenner-style packaging. Hopefully those and some of the earlier releases (Bespin Luke, Bubba Feet) find their way into the regular series' again as well.
About the weathered helmet:
1. It looks cool.
2. But why? Any pilot should make sure their equipment is clean and serviceable.
3. How has it gotten so dirty? Is she fixing her ship with it on? Throwing it in the mud after jumping out of her ship? What is going on?
So, the worn look is nice, but also doesn't make much sense to me.
It is clean. Weathered is not the same as dirty. Same goes for Boba Fett's armor. He never polished or removed his scars, but always made sure it was clean and able to be used.
God bless Doctor Aphra
Another idea! But then I'd need Triple Zero and BT-1. (I haven't actually read anything with her in it but those droids have always caught my eye)
Aphra would be cool.
Hasbro needs to articulate their female marvel legends like this!!!
Jaina Solo is a non-canon Star Wars character and she's 1 of 3 of Han and Leia's children. Her and 1 other are uncanon. The other is Kylo Ren
Man I can’t find this anywhere
It should just be hitting. A lot of online shop haven't got their stock yet and I'm hearing of people finding them now at Target.
KAMAZON, What country do you live in? I find it almost impossible to find anything cool here in Australia (in my hometown anyway). I usually order all my figures from online stores. That might be an option for you.
KAMAZON ebay uk
I've got 3
one opened display
one boxed display
one storage
maybe that's why you can't find any!!
Was this already released in America?
Rumslug You can get her in the UK now. Got her in a store and she was the only figure hidden behind some other characters.
