Hey hey folks welcome back to the first review of 2023 yeah that's the year. It has been a little bit of a little bit of a low in content off from my channel for a little while. Yeah life's just got a little bit crazy. I did explain that in a video about a week or two or two ago. Yeah just moved house again. Everything still in storage. It is this year's mission to get a long term place of residence. So I'll be back every now and then to do some videos and figure reviews and stuff like that. I'm really pumped to sort of get back into this year and hopefully try and find a little bit of settledness amongst you know and otherwise sort of crazy last 12 months sort of been up and down and in and out and backwards and forwards and yeah all over the place. So obviously right in front of you we have Luke Skywalker Imperial Light Cruiser. This is very much a figure that I've been looking forward to for a very long time considering it has been two years since the episode that he appeared in in Mandalorian season 2. He is VC264 and I'm not going to pick up the Clath Turnian Raider. I did Obi-Wan and Vader some months back. Calcester Sir Cassian will be getting done today as I've been filming this one. So yeah there will be spread out over the next week. Artillery Stormtrooper. I do have to pick one of those up and Vel Satho which I will pick up at some point. I don't think she's going to sell hugely not a not a major character at this stage and sort of a secondary character in the end or series but I did pick up Cassian. So I just leave that there ripped cardinal and we'll take a look at the figure now. I just pretty much want to stand just to help keep him the keep him pose up and standing standing nice when I want to put him down. So other accessory he comes with obviously his light set which is holding. His unlit heel which does have a peg which will fit on his belt nicely. So that's a nice accessory. It does come with the same blaster that he uses in return of the Jedi. I assume this is the same blaster that's been released with the last couple of Jedi looks. And probably one of the better sort of capes slash robes that we've had on a figure. It just sits really well. Looks nice. If you can get away to sort of make a sit good you can actually sort of mimic the card but you know it does pop off nice and easy. So yeah it's a nicely done piece. I'm pretty happy with it. The way it sort of sits and folds and sits behind. It looks good. Now honestly I cannot tell you if this is the same Luke Skywalker head sculpt that we saw on the reissued version of Jedi Knight Luke, the jubber's throne room one. I think it was the got re-released. And yeah being that I don't have that figure on hand I can't tell you how much of this is actually reused or new. But that's okay it's it's one of the best looks I've seen. One of the best Jedi looks in my collection. There's a little bit of a little bit of a gap in that torso joint there you can sort of see through. But that's not a big deal. He's got some soft goods under there which is good so it allows for extra possibility so you can do his force kick. It does hold the lightsaber really well nice, nice sturdy joints. The plastic's a little bit stronger than it has been in other recent years. But yeah that face sculpt looks really really nice. Let's just get the light to that right looks great. So I'm led to believe it is new. What's okay maybe not might be re-tooled. Just because all the new figures do have that sort of separate barbell neck joint. So yeah as before there is a peg hole on the side where his unhit, unhit, lealt, unhit, it will sit. So that's that's nice. Yeah I've had a lot of fun playing around with this figure already I definitely see myself getting a second one for display purposes because you know as I'm posing this guy up and taking photos and stuff I feel like the some of the joints are gonna sort of wear out. Which you know it happens that one figure every now and then it just you know gets a lot of play time. But yeah I would love to get one carded as well just to have one display eventually when I can have that room set up again. But yeah it's really nice. Looks like the legs are newer that's for sure. And it's because oh no they've still got the hinges. There's sort of some of the figures start going away from the hinges now. But yeah the way that sort of the back of the knee joint it's sort of hidden behind the sculpt of the trousers there. So that kind of that looks nice from the front just looks like the pants are sort of bunched up. It's no sort of obvious. No super obvious sort of marking there where the sculpt is and then yeah nicely just sculpted in on the back. So it does have all the good articulation you want. Obviously like I said still with the ball hinged hips there but that's all right. You know I think that's figures go forward that will adapt to that sort of double barbell thing they have. But it's a really nice look. And yeah definitely you can definitely use them as a fill in for like a return of the Jedi look if you've missed them over the years. And I know the belt is slightly different but the rest of the outfit's pretty much the same thing. If you slide differences but you know it all works and pays off I think in the end if you were to pick this one up I think it still works well. But yeah really loving this look. I'd love to hear your thoughts again. It's really good to be sitting behind the camera shooting a video again. It's been it's been a good couple of months. So yeah I appreciate everyone's continuous support means means a lot to me. And yeah I can't wait to keep pushing out some content and having just going back to having some fun with with my toy reviews and stuff. Now that things have sort of settled for a little bit we'll sort of get crazy again. Through the middle of the year I'm sure at least in the first half but yeah I'll try and keep up with some content as much as I can. But yeah thank you very much for sticking around and sticking by me and all your support really does mean a lot. So we'll see you on the next video. Until then may the first with you always.
