Hey Star Wars fans and collectors welcome back once again to number two of four of my new black series sort of set of reviews from the first wave of solo Star Wars story, including this guy, Grandma of Tarkin. I don't think he's going to be in the movie, nothing's been confirmed. He's just part of the wave, he was next in line to come out. And boy oh boy, it's been a long wait since they first showed this guy trying to think when. They may have even shown him early on at celebration back in April I think they may have put this guy. I can't remember, Thrawn was definitely there, I can't remember if they should have taken the, if not it was probably San Diego Comic Con or New York Comic Con later in a year. But he's finally here, they've gone with the updated paint techniques on his face and boy does it pay off. So again, this one comes as number 63. Like I've tried to roll the arbe. Grand Moth Tarkin, an ambitious ruthless proponent of military power will have Tarkin become a favourite of Emperor Palpatine and rose rapidly through the Imperial ranks. And that artwork is fantastic too. Gregory Titus, check him out, find him on Instagram. That's a really good job. So let's get the box out of the way and let's have a look at the figure and accessory. So we'll start with the accessory, we'll start with Dr. Ball MD, the interrogator droid. You'll remember Dr. Ball MD if you've seen the robot chicken Star Wars specials from seven, eight years ago perhaps. I can't remember which one, which one they were three of them. I can't remember which one he appeared in. But it was just like a little parody of a medical drama. And this guy was the doctor, he was just Dr. Ball MD. So as the interrogator droid from a new hope, doesn't really have anything to do with Tarkin, but it's a cool accessory. Tarkin doesn't come with a blaster himself. So to come with an extra accessory like this is awesome. Really nicely detailed this thing. I'm going to call some of the little arms on the gadgets moved, but they just rub a static accessories. There's the needle. And it comes into the room. Look how nice it makes. But yeah, it's cool. It comes on a nice stand. Is that well? You can get some. It's really stand if you tilt it. Oh, it kind of does. But yeah, really cool accessory. Really, really excited to have this one. This is cool. Yeah, they could have got away with Tarkin having nothing. Maybe just give him a stand to issue blaster, but they went out and gave us this. So Kudos Hasbro. Thank you. Let's put that aside. Let's look at the grandmuff himself. Look at that face. I really hope this is showing up well on camera for you guys. It's got work is fantastic. The paintwork is just phenomenal. It's just just added a new depth to these six inch black series figures for something. It's $20 at retail in the US. It's about $35 here in Australia. And you know, probably more so the equivalent to what we pay here in the UK to what the US pay. I'm sure they pay a little bit more than the equivalent of $20 US dollars over there. But you know, for something that's not a $50 figure, this is the Hasbro has taken a step in the right direction. They're listening to the fans, which is great. This figure is just, it's really good. It's spot on. They've nailed it. Would have been a funny accessory and unnecessary if they gave him the slippers. There's a lot of, if you know the behind the scenes stuff that Peter Cushing in the scenes where his feet went in the shop, he didn't need to wear boots. So he wouldn't wear boots. He'd wear slippers. And yeah, apparently there were some shots over the years that have crept into the movie where you sort of see a slipper, but I hope that recalls seeing them. But yeah, this is a good figure. Let's go to the bottom work how we up. Got the boots. Nice shiny boots. It's an imperial outfit, which is a, you know, it's a nice blend between grey and green. You know, I'm not sure how this is showing up, but the vintage clutch and tarmac and it came out a few years back. He was a real, it was a real sort of carkey green, I guess you call it. And they just didn't quite get that balance of grey green. He's not fully grey. And it's not fully green. It's sort of a bit of a olive, olive gray to his uniform. And they've done it this time. Again, I hope my camera is showing this, showing this stuff well. I won't know until I upload it and have a look myself. But yeah, fantastically done. Rank badge is nice. Nice matte colour for his uniform. Looks good. The scout work is really good. A titulation, new standard, I guess, with the fixing of the neck. The neck joint, I've got rid of those ugly neck joints and they've got that. You can't really see in there, but it's that sort of double peg hollow neck. As opposed to the ugly hinge. It still allows for good movement. Like I said, with the Han Solo video that I did before. Kudos to Asbro for making that change because that's a winner. The rest of our titulation is pretty standard, but it's good. It's a really good figure. So I can't wait to put him in some shots with Vader and Chronic and maybe even a Thrawn shot or something like that, I think it'll be fun. Next up, we want Admiral Colonel Yolaren. Maybe a nice addition. So let me know what you think. I'll stand in the comments below. Definitely can't see what you think of this guy. He's pretty damn good. Jumped into my top five, as soon as I looked at him in the packet, in the box. Straight up. Fantastic. Very simple. But he is iconic. He is the main villain, arguably the main villain in a new hope in the original movie. Yeah, I guess Vader is, but you know, he's there for most of the movies doing all the making all the decisions. So yeah, let me know what you think. Next up, I've got the Range Trooper from Solo or Sourire. So stay tuned for that one. And thank you very much for watching as always. Until next time guys, may the Force be with you.
