great it's grand admiral throne as a part of the 50th lucasfilm uh anniversary and this is the new
star wars the black series archive line admiral thrawn and we're going to compare him
to the old san diego comic con admiral thrawn so this is going to be a good video let me go
ahead and just break this open because i opened this a little pack in such a long time though
there we go so this was the sandia comic-con one we got ages ago
and my throne has been sat in here ever since i have opened it and so i can get the throne out
and bob obviously got all the other accessories and stuff and it makes a cool backdrop for the
video so we'll go ahead and we'll leave admiral thrawn just open there on the desk
ah he's got some really cool bits and pieces in there as well it's a great little diorama
and of course we've got the old admiral thrawn and they've definitely from looking at this guys
they have definitely upgraded that phase so i am really glad i picked up the new one they've
toned down the red on the eyes and made them a little bit darker and uh the eyebrows they've
thinned out the eyebrows quite a lot the mouth is more pronounced they put more lines into his face
and yeah he's they've overall just changed the coloring
it's a lot nicer now i like it and did they the badge yeah the badge is right two pins two pins
blue blue blue yellow red they're more pronounced as well with the silver backing whereas this one
just had a plain white backing but we'll do more side-by-side comparisons as we get into the video
but for now here he is guys it's admiral thrawn one of my favorite characters in
star wars i love the throne uh trilogy uh sorry thrawn trilogy and i also love the um
you know the recent ones they've done which was ascendant things like that i love those
stories with anakin skywalker things very great books definitely worth reading
but yes um i love these new packaging by the way the 50th anniversary stuff for lucasfilm it's
got the timeline on the back there that they're covering which is everything from 1971 to 2021
including star wars legends they've even got legends in there so that's very cool
there is a little write-up an artist rendering a thrawn the writer states thrawn was a male kiss
is it kiss c-h-i-s with striking blue skin and red eyes and an angular face known for
his brilliant strategic mind and ruthlessness right guys let's go ahead and break him out
of the packaging i can't wait to see him side by side i'm really getting upgraded mine now
okay so we've got even got a slightly new blaster as well as a darker tone on the blaster there
i can't wait till we obviously get the inevitable live action of thrawn as well
after his little spoken arm appearing spoken of in um it's okay in mandalorian
okay guys here he is man oh beautiful figure
all right guys so there is the face look at that new sculpted face
well new painted page we're saying it's beautiful love it look at the eyes are so much nicer
other than that uh let's look at articulation so the same as the other one but i thought do it
anyway heads on a ball joint so you can make him look up as well as down left and right a little
bit stiff on mine here the arms do lift that side hinge they do also rotate there's also the
single hinged elbow and the hands that rotate as well oh that got very loose very fast damn
crunching around at that waist pivot there which is nice legs do lift out as well as forwards
backwards top thigh cut double hinged knees yeah the older double edge knees as well uh no boot
cut on this one with the feet are on rocker and pivot he does have holes in the bottom of
the feet you should you wish to use a display base i'm going very loose from doing that but
i'd say to all collectors always be careful when you're first activating the figure for the first
time out of the packaging sometimes they can be cold from being outside especially opening
them straight from being in the postman's hands and if they're very cold that means
sometimes their eye the articulation can be very stiff which can cause you to over pull and push
and cause you to break them so always make sure that the figure's warmed
up a little bit before you start pulling and tugging on the joints
someone's going to clip that that sounds so rude oh yes very nice figure i really like this
and rather on they have done a great job with that's why i'm so glad i picked up this new one
all right guys we're heading out to the desk cam to give you guys an up close personal look
at this new admiral throne compared to the old one and then of course we'll put the old
old admiral throne we'll probably go into some form of yeah probably probably put him in there
in the fodder bin in the fodder bin for you my friend you have served your purpose
because we've got the new throne and i'll probably put him inside this nice big box up
cause you're much too nice to keep outside if you are but guys that's what i'm doing let's
head on down to the description to give you guys a closer personal look at the new throne
all right guys so here he is out of the packaging is the new admiral thrawn
let's zoom in on that facebook first of all because that's where you notice it the most the
new figure look at that face so well detailed very nicely done i really like how that managed to make
this figure look so good compared to the last one as well which obviously was very different
this one's now more it feels like face techie almost it's got that same sort of style to it
makes it more photo realistic which again just gives that figure that proper edge
makes it super nice they've gone ahead and added a little details like the silver on this back plate
where his rankings and stuff that was just plain white on the san diego comic-con one
and the gun as well has now got a more uh darker metallic sheen to it whereas the
old one was very very plain even a little like gold gold patches here on his neck on his collar
uh even they've been improved and even the gold uh on his jacket all that's been greatly
improved this is now the actual belt buckley bits now a different color and they've just
improved the figure overall with the paint colors and done a better cleaner job i think
then again we are talking a good few years between releases times have changed
the technology's changed and got a lot better um the original throne come out
god years ago now wasn't it it was the same year that we got the luke and rey figures so
we are talking some time ago now when the first black black series old man luke came out
so it was some time and i still love this sanyo comic-con set for all his accessories there's
some great pieces in here plus we've got the little mask that i know it's not the right one
but we all use it for kanan come on we all we've all shoved on kanan's head
so yeah i'm very cool of course i've got the lizards up there as well
brilliant i can't wait to see who they choose to play i hope they choose someone good i really do
so guys let let's bring in the other throne and do a side by side and i'll
show you the little differences you can tell instantly now look at the face clubs
they have definitely improved those face cults definitely
you can just it just tastes like chalk and cheese now isn't it you can just see so much and like
that you see the back like the back plate bit that i was talking about you see the colors on
this on the gold you can just see all things i've just said the facebook is the number one
though in it you can just tell it's such a nice new face called to this new throne not that the
old one was bad but it wasn't as realistic it was very old school but i'm liking this
new one with the like the thinner eyebrows and stuff just make it don't it just more realistic
stops it looking like spock
