hey guys me host supersorrell thank you very much to neil mcgregor
it's galaxy's edge dj rex i've been dying to get my hands on these galaxy
edge figures for so long and as you guys know i was meant to go
to walt disney world this year but with coving and everything like that we
haven't been able to go this year so i was really happy to see when these
actually came out as regular release figures under the new
galaxy's edge toy line so i am really happy to have this
finally in my hands you guys know i'm a big fan of disney
parks and we finally have our 3x uh also known as rx24 from back
in the day when he was a star speeder pilot for um
for starters and he was present during the battle of yavin
he was present uh for the final assault in the
later you know films and he's been a part of the storyline for so
long in hollywood studios that i was really happy when they
brought him back with a storyline uh for galaxy's edge
because obviously once we were on the ride with him on the star speeder
and he brought us in the middle of a battle and he brought us out was it the
battle of yavin um which battle was it
um
he appeared at the start speed he was a it was a star speed of three thousand
um while working for starters he accidentally brought the star speed into
a battle between the imperial navy and the rebel alliance
though nobody was hurt the accident resulted in being fired from the company
and he was also known for being present during the battle of jakku
but then he was he was kicked out because he caused so many problems
he kept extending he kept putting the star speeder in harm's way
and so he was kicked off of being the pilot
and was eventually reprogrammed um which actually says on the back here the
story continues on the back of here which is
that rex was recently reprogrammed to be a dj in ogus cantina today he can be
found playing the latest hits from around the galaxy in the heart of black
spire outpost and apparently he also gives away rebel
transmissions so guys this one is an exclusive figure
these are available i think in target in america we don't have a target here in
the uk so these came to our online retailers
they don't have a designation as they're a part of the new galaxy's edge trading
outpost and they don't have any numbers in the
black series but they have given them their own fancy little sides
so you can put them in a part of your series with the orange tops
and the satellite camouflage bottom with the logo on the bottom there
so that's kind of nice as well let me go ahead and bring this bad guy out of the
packaging because i've been dying to get my hands on him
yeah so basically over the years they've added they've added onto his story bit
by bit until eventually he was
recommissioned and sent on because he caused too many problems and then a new
a new pilot took over um and then if you've been to disney parks
recently you'll know that he gets off the chat to
check something and c3po basically takes his spot
and ends up flying the ship but dj rex could now be spotted in
ogre's cantina in walt disney world and in um
california anaheim
where he could be spotted over cantina as the resident dj
i think it's cool that they gave him another purpose obviously they had the
old animatronic kicking about the old ride
see i think it's great that disney basically gave him a
they gave him a new coat of paint a fresh bit of life
because obviously in star wars droids being recommissioned to do new roles
isn't anything new it's quite commonplace in the star wars galaxy
so i'm glad disney thought of that to bring him back for august cantina
and give some of those older fans who remember the old rides a bit more
nostalgia so here is dj rex howard of the
packaging
tubular
so guys his home world is nubia is an industrial automation from the rx pilot
series that was reprogrammed to pay off a debt
uh if you read the galaxy's edge marvel
comics you'll learn a lot more about him and he was recommissioned by the droid
depot on world of batu so articulation wise the head is on a
ball joint she can make him look up and down as well as left and right
the headphones do have do sort of rotate a little bit so you can sort of move
those around all the little arms rotate and move and
have different hinges and things so you can have a play around with those
there is a swivel there at the waist and then at the middle column and the
top column as well as at the bottom so you can sort of spin in multiple
directions at once which is kind of cool
and on the bottom it just has the usual um
made in you know made in china and the designations for the droid and stuff on
the bottom there he doesn't have a nice flat base on him
so he can obviously will stand very easily i can't wait to finally get
back to disney so that i can grab myself um there's a bluetooth
speaker version of this basically and i really want the bluetooth speaker
i like all these little hands and everything open and short
and they all move and rotate perfectly and the paint apps on these are
brilliant now the best part about this droid is with it being a droid and stuff
if he's if he's paying that were to be a bit off and there's some warping and
stuff you'd expect that from this droid
because he's been through some battles and of course he's now he's a bit of a
scrap droid that's been brought back with a new purpose so he's
he would you would expect him to have issues with things but from what i can
see everything on this is actually meant to
be there it's been designed still like i said even if there was a
few scuffs or a few marks it wouldn't look out of place on this guy to be
honest now that disney and sorry sorry hasbro
uh have the sculpt to make this droid i do hope that they
do go back at some point painting blue and give us the proper
star speeder pilot as well and you know what if they ever made a
six-inch star speed of 2000 as a hazlab i would buy one in a heartbeat
i would love a star speed of three thousand sorry two thousand two thousand
three thousand starts with three thousand for my six inch figures to sit
inside because that would be epic
so guys well go down to the desk cam to give you guys an up close first look at
this figure and i'll give you a little bit more information from the uh
from the galaxy's edge pages are about dj rex
or rx24 so guys here is rx24 or dj rex rx r3x out of the packaging the reason i
keep saying his original number is because that is
actually his real droid designation would be rx24
but r3x also known as rex was a formerly rx series pilot droid who flew the star
commute to 2000 from lothal to gorel five years before the battle of
yavin the shuttle was used by the rebels from lothal in their mission to steal
arms from the galactic empire while rx24 was not necessarily a
stickler for the rules that droids can only stand behind
the passenger area he had the authority to enforce it and would
do so if there was a complaint the droid later went on to work for startles where
he piloted the star speed of 3000 at some point while working for star
tours rex accidentally brought the star speed into a battle
between the imperial navy and the rebel alliance
though nobody was hurt the accident resulted in him being kicked from the
alliance
sorry being fired from the company and in the time after rex became a cargo
pilot for the alliance and claimed to have been present during
the battles of jakku at some point rex crash landed on batu
where it was reprogrammed into a dj by mumbo uh at the droid depot and he
his appearance has been slightly altered thereafter mubo gave the droid
to ogre guerrero to pay off a debt and dj rex started providing the mutual
entertainment inside ogre's cantina there is actually a playlist on youtube
if you're interested guys from ogres cantina which are all the
songs being being disc spanned by our dj rex right
here and played in in between with some rebel
transmissions if you listen carefully there are mixed messages in there
telling the rebels where to find certain things from the empire and what
have you
and let's not forget he's not the only guy that's been
that's sort of on by two at this moment in time because we have our
good old pirate friend hondo on [ __ ] his review will be coming up next guys
so stay tuned because i will be reviewing hondo next he's my second
favorite character on this line i'm so glad that i finally was able to
get my hands on this droid i am not disappointed in it it is
