I actually bought all the current retro figures for my Dad as a gift bc he lost almost all his childhood original star wars figures, and he actually really enjoys these figures and displays them in his office with pride

Having played with these toys as a kid I'm here (and at Analog Toys) for the nostalgia, I don't have a collection so I don't have a dog in this fight. However, as an outsider the puritanical zeal of the anti-repro faction says to me that they are very insecure in their position. I can respect people who don't want repros in *their own* collections - what I can't respect is people who don't want repros in *someone else's* collection.

I liked your idea of boxing Luke and Dak together or Tarkin and Wedge. They could ditch the board games altogether and do some of those adventure packs.
LOVED your pointer. I may have paid more attention in class if the teacher had used that instead of a yard stick or a wooden pointer. A elegant teaching device for a more civilized age.

I have Tarkin, my brother got me board game as nostalgic Christmas present as we had the game when it was originally released way back in the 80s.

I absolutely love these figures. I take the figures out of the box so the packaging didn’t bother me. This is giving me the chance to experience the originals without having to pay an arm and a leg.

I gotta say man, I love how objective you are. I really like how you aren’t just blindly hating on the new figures and claiming it was all perfect with the Kenner figures. You actually praise improvement and criticize missteps equally. I love your reviews and your channel man.

The only figure from Wave 1 or 2. I ever found in stores was the board game with Tarkin.

The Kenner Hoth Han was one of my first Star Wars figures along with the AT-AT Driver, Yoda, IG-88 and the Rebel Transport. Its a shame that Hasbro isn't reissuing Retro Kenner vehicles as well.

I want R2 and C-3PO in this retro collection.

[Thequeencollector]

A box set of vintage pilots would be fantastic with Biggs, Porkins ect all together, maybe a box of guns for troopers, official vintage reproductions and if they released a vinyl cape Jawa it would fill a gap in many collections. So many options we will never see.

This video just proves you dont have to pander. When something is good, Michael says so. You knew he was going to review these with a fine tooth comb. Great video! The good, the bad, and the ugly clearly laid out.

Is Vac Metal an issue still? I bought a Masters of the universe He-Ro toy just came out and it has a gold vac metal chest. Did I miss something?

[Brian_is_Not_Sus]

I wish they would've included Hoth Stormtrooper

[TheFilmOfLife]

I honsetly didn't even realise they made retro emipres. Im done with hasbro, but keep up the great content Michael!

[trippsallee]

You just helped me realize I’ve been given a minty 1979 Taiwan Boba Fett with blaster from my father, who, despite playing with his Star Wars toys a lot, apparently kept his Fett in excellent condition and handed it down to me in 2005. Cool stuff. Thanks, dad!

[OrangeRaptor]

That is why I love watching your show, you are honest when it comes to Star Wars figures.

[pendaco]

Yoda looks pretty fabulous with that orange shawl 🐸

[Merylstreep]

Does the new retro Lando finally come with a can of Colt 45???

[AL-wsyi]

I never knew that so many variations of the figures exists. Thanks for the education.

Thanks Micheal and Melinda for great videos
