How's it goin', everybody?
Sebastian here, bringing you the first in a little video series of unboxings from this past Force Friday.
The first item is a quick little item from the Disney Store, it is a Disney Store Exclusive.
It retails for $9.95 and it is Poe Dameron's X-Wing Starfighter. This is a little die-cast miniature and
there are a few others in the series, all available at the Disney Store and disneystore.com.
So let's get to opening this up and checking out what's inside.
Alrighty, guys, here we have the front of the box with Kylo Ren front and center.
"Poe's X-Wing Fighter Disney Store Exclusive." Nice, big window to see the ship and little BB-8 as the astromech
from the new film Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
I love the red and black box art on this. Very, very nice, very slick. I like it a lot.
I can see the front end there. We've got copy on the back. "Poe's X-Wing Fighter Die Cast Vehicle."
"When missions call for it, ace Resistance pilot Poe Dameron becomes Black Leader, flying a dark-hulled
T-70 X-Wing Starfighter into action."
Very, very nice. Now, there are a few other die-cast exclusive vehicles at the Disney Store, there is
of course Poe's X-Wing. There's also the Resistance X-Wing, which is white and blue, there are two
TIE Fighters for the First Order, there's the Special Forces TIE Fighter, which is black with a nice red
decal running along the front window, then there's the standard TIE Fighter, which is all black.
There's also a First Order Snowspeeder and Rey's Speeder from the trailers. Very, very cool stuff.
Now, these are actually not very expensive, they're $9.95 each and that's not a bad price to pay.
So let's get to opening this up.
[Cardboard and plastic rustling softly]
Slides right out and I'm feeling some instructions on the bottom of my fingers.
Alrighty, here we go. Small instruction sheet on attaching the landing gear.
Okay, looks like one of the landing gear is--ah!--I see it right here in the back. And that feels like plastic,
so no need to worry about that bending too much.
Let's slip the X-Wing out of its plastic shell.
Right, here we go. Looks like there's not any sort of tape to speak of, looks like that just slides right out.
Here we go, free the S-Foils and move this aside and just look at the ship itself for now.
And that is really, really nice. The little astromech, BB-8, there. Plastic windscreen.
And the S-Foils do collapse down. Now, they don't close entirely flush, but for a die-cast figure, I mean,
I'm not gonna expect too much from something I paid 10 dollars for, but I think it looks really, really, slick anyways.
I love the black and orange paint scheme on it. And you can just reopen the S-Foils.
Very cool. And the blasters here feel like a plastic, actually. So that's good, I don't feel like I have to
worry about them bending and then snapping like a lot of fully die-cast pieces.
But the main body and the wings are die-cast. Of course the windscreen is plastic and of course
BB-8 is also die-cast.
This is really, really nice. And the landing gear attaches right in the bottom there.
But I think that's very, very slick. These look really, really good. I love the paint job and, like all all things die-cast,
you do have to be wary of some, you know, paint issues, if there's some paint applications that didn't
get done right and a lot of times it does fleck off pretty easy. But I found a nice one, it was pretty easy,
they had a lot of these miniatures in stock at the Disney Store and I had no trouble finding them.
Alrighty, guys, let's get in these landing gear. Little tiny square pegs and square holes, they just pop right in
to their appropriate slots. And that's actually much appreciated. I'm glad there's not like an overly
complicated locking mechanism on these, they just push right in and I don't have to apply any sort of
great deal of force on that.
And...lay that right down on my table. Perfect! I think that's gonna look really, really good on a desk.
Again, not overly complicated. Very, very nice, simple. They're made of plastic, they don't require a lot of force.
I just pop them off. Very, very easy.
And that...that is about it, I think this is really slick. The paint job is very nice, got cute little BB-8 up there,
savin' the day with Poe. I think that's gonna look good on my desk.
Thank you very much for watching, guys. As always, links will be below in the description and stay
tuned for the next video when we open up, and build, Poe Dameron's X-Wing Lego set.
This is super exciting and I can't wait to build it with you.
So, again, thank you very much for watching and I will see you next time.
