00:00just before he was Vader he was flying in this vehicle here's a look at the
00:04jazz wears Star Wars micro galaxy squadron series 3 Anakin Skywalker's
00:09Jedi starfighter
00:27build your fleet with Star Wars micro galaxy squadron starfighter class series
00:323 box set this limited edition collection is exclusive to jazz wears
00:36vault and features all 5 series 3 5 inch starfighter class packs including
00:40both rare and chase vehicles complete your collection with the Anakin
00:43Skywalker's Jedi starfighter v-wing starfighter Poe Dameron's t-70 x-wing
00:48General Grievous's starfighter and Poe Dameron's t-70 x-wing blue and white
00:53while we get ready for hyperspace travel I'm gonna grab the tape measure and see
00:57how long Anakin Skywalker's starfighter is before we're gonna bring in the
01:00micro figures that belong along with it like as well to thank the folks over at
01:04jazz wears that did provide this sample we could have a look at even though
01:07really all these vehicles are sold separately in stores they actually were
01:11kind enough to provide the starfighter class series 3 box set which was right
01:14now an exclusive over on their vault site to a very limited run of only 1500
01:18pieces and it sells for $100 instead of actually looking at all five vehicles at
01:23the same time being that all the five vehicles are also sold separately I
01:26thought would be perfect time to have a look at them individually so we could
01:28spend a little bit more time discussing them back though to the starship here
01:32belonging to Anakin from the back end of the starship as I'm pointing right
01:35now to the front end of it you're looking at it being about five and a
01:38half inches in length flip that around though in centimeters it's 14
01:42centimeters long along with Anakin's ride the vehicle does come included with
01:47a hyperspace transport ring some assembly though was required when you
01:51actually get this out of the packaging as the top and the bottom rings were
01:54separate pieces fairly straightforward in fact to actually attach these I don't
01:58know if I can actually do this right now because really once you put them in
02:00place they pretty much lock in place but I don't want to actually take these
02:04apart because I wanted to show you when you are putting them together this by
02:07the way is gonna face forward so the thrusters are actually gonna be on the
02:10back of the starship but when you're putting them in place you'll see there's
02:13a slot right here and then there's a little slot tab on this side but it's
02:16not on the opposite side so it'll sort of help to tell you which way it's
02:19supposed to go so again if you're looking at from the front the back parts
02:23that have the kind of indentations here will also be pointing at the back and
02:26then you'll look on the bottom of it and you'll see that see how this has a
02:29little slot right here well if the slot isn't on this side then you know you
02:32have to put it on the opposite side so again slot here goes into the now a
02:36little open part right here in the open hole fit those two in place snap it in
02:40snap it in and then you're basically just gonna do the exact same thing on
02:44the other side so again this is gonna have to face so again you're looking at
02:47from the front this is the part that's gonna be facing backwards so again it's
02:51just lining up the shapes and snapping them in place now the only thing
02:55unfortunately about though is getting the hyperspace ring is that once you do
02:59put it attached on to the Starship there's no real way to balance the
03:02vehicle I did at the beginning of this review sort of cheat and I used myself a
03:05display stand but it doesn't come included the Starship I do kind of wish
03:08in a way if they take the time to include something like this take also
03:12the time as well to include a little display stand even if it was just a
03:15simple rectangular piece of plastic with a little post little post sticking up it
03:19could have been plugged on to the underside of the Starship the Starship
03:22by the way though does have landing gears the landing gears fold out from
03:26the sides it also folds out from the front while the sides are fairly easy to
03:30access this is the case kind of getting your finger in there and pulling them
03:33out and they sit pretty decently I did have a little bit of struggle more though
03:36in the front the front has a hard time first of all trying to get out and even
03:41if you're having a struggle to do this you can kind of get yourself a little
03:43bit of a knife here just something a screwdriver a knife whatever whatever
03:47just to kind of get the plastic lip out there but once it's out I find it
03:51doesn't lock in place very easily I find a lot of times I'm feeling like
03:55I'm forcing almost to the point you can see it snaps itself back again in
04:00hindsight I probably should have used myself a screwdriver for this but again
04:03pulling this forward it seems like there's a lot of resistance to it so you
04:06know it doesn't quite sit and a lot of times even when you're putting this down
04:10it ends up resulting in pushing the landing gear back in anyways though if
04:15you did want to attach the hyperspace ring it's just a case again this is
04:18gonna be facing forward like this so what you'll do is flip this around you
04:22want to fold in the front landing gear and then you'll literally slide the
04:26starship in and it locks in place so there's like these little tabs on either
04:29side you can see looking at it from the top how it leaves a little lip from the
04:33top of the bottom and basically just maneuver the ship right into it you have
04:38to get underneath those pieces but once it gets in place I also want to flip it
04:42around so you guys can see as well there's a little hole right here and
04:45there's a tab or a little hole a little peg right there and that's gonna fit you
04:49don't even have to really guide it either eventually we'll get in there on
04:52its own basically again you're just gonna take the plastic take the starship
04:55feed it through the front if I can get out there we go
05:00locking in place and once it is locked in place it's not going anywhere to
05:04remove it by the way you're just gonna have to get your finger so that little
05:07tab ends up fitting inside the hole if you just put your finger underneath that
05:11pull it it ends up actually pops out the starship ends up sending it for a
05:16ride so again you're just gonna slide that back place we're gonna come back I
05:19think to the ring in a second the one other thing that comes included the
05:22starship of course is mini figures the micro figures I love the way that they
05:26package these after they come inside of little like little clamshell case yeah
05:30Anakin Skywalker telling you right down below here and you also got r2d2
05:33opening up it's just a case of folding back the paper and then you're just
05:36gonna pull these out now the figures though aren't securely inside so you
05:39want to make sure that when you're opening these don't open them forward
05:42because the figures fall out quite frequently having a closer look out
05:46Anakin it's kind of really hard to make out his finer features one of the
05:50benefits at least of the camera that I use how close can I get in how close can
05:53I get I can get pretty close you guys can see hopefully his face well it's not
05:57painted I mean it would be impossible to paint something so small I would also
06:01say maybe his head is a little too large for the proportions of his body but I'm
06:04not gonna nickel and dime not gonna nitpick this for the size of what this
06:07figure actually I mean like there's my thumb there's the figure itself it does
06:11actually have posability in the arms which is surprising doesn't seem like
06:15his head can move but you can also of course move his legs down because the
06:18whole idea in mind is that Anakin's gonna be sitting inside the cockpit he
06:22also comes include a little tiny r2 as well now again r2 for how small this is
06:27I would say maybe like some of the paint is missing its mark but overall the
06:31sculpting of what this actually is I think they've pulled this out rather
06:33nicely whoa I don't want to drop that r2 doe has no articulation none
06:38whatsoever when you are attaching r2 r2 literally is gonna slide into the open
06:43area here on the front of the starship it does unfortunately leave an unsightly
06:46hole and looks a little on the ugly side when you don't actually have at r2
06:50sitting inside of it r2 by the way does have a hole in the bottom of his body
06:53and that basically just fits inside just like that when you push it far enough
06:57down by the way what it ends up doing is it pushes this section of the plastic up
07:01I don't know if you guys can see it or not see I'm pushing it I'm pushing r2
07:05and right now it kind of pushes this out on the other side so it helps to then
07:09release r2 now the packaging it sort of does exaggerate things that once you
07:13push the button on the bottom r2 goes across the room he doesn't go across the
07:18room but again just to push the button on the bottom here it's supposed to
07:22really help to release r2 but a lot of times I just find pushing it just a
07:25little bit you can kind of wiggle r2 back and forth there we go you just take
07:30him out that way it certainly does it across the room and of course we'll open
07:34up also the canopy for the cockpit the canopy did have a little bit persuading
07:39to do in order to open it you kind of there's a lip right there you just get
07:43your finger underneath this and just pull this forward I would say like well
07:46the canopy looks good it's a little messy on the side it does seem to have
07:50like some additional almost seemed like what's left behind of the mold when this
07:54came out of the press I wish they could have cleaned this up a little bit more
07:57it looks nice on this side doesn't look as nice though on the other side if you
08:00look at the inside though well it's missing sticker applications or paint
08:03for that matter it's decently sculpted for has small really this is then you
08:08can take yourself Anakin fold in the legs and then you're just gonna tuck
08:11Anakin inside the cockpit he sits low enough in there as well that you can
08:16then take the canopy fold it over top oh you want to see what he looks like
08:18inside okay hold on hold on there we go there he is sitting inside the canopy of
08:22the cockpit cockpit no stickers again no paint I don't think it necessarily
08:27needs it either and then we're just gonna fold down the canopy then we can
08:30go back and grab our two before our two rolls away or Jawas end up stealing just
08:34pushing back down in there in place and now you've got both Anakin and R2
08:38sitting inside the starfighter sorry for it by the way is pretty light in
08:42plastic it's molded what I'm guessing in gray plastic and then they've just
08:46painted some of the yellow accents there the details paints pretty neatly applied
08:50I mean I don't see any real paint problems at all it's got of course the
08:53little symbol there on the side it's also got two on either side of the back
08:57of the canopy thrusters there also in the back they didn't take the time to
09:01paint those in and then of course the undercarriage of the ship landing gear
09:04in the front landing gears on the back yeah again it's a nice-looking starship
09:08whether you decide though you want to display it with the hyperspace ring
09:11let's just move the everything out of the way get the transport ring back in
09:14place the only thing again I would say is obviously if you have it on its own
09:18if you have it on so it's not gonna be so much of a problem obviously the
09:20biggest issue really is just getting the front landing gear out again once you
09:24get that out you can really just have the starship standing on its own it
09:27doesn't even necessarily need the transport ring if though the fact that
09:30they actually included it you probably will end up wanting to display it with
09:33it but just unfortunately like once you put it in place there's nothing to keep
09:37the starship from falling over that if they only had simply added just a hole
09:41on the back here a little post a little rectangular piece of plastic you could
09:45then been able to display both the starship with again like the hyperspace
09:49ring on the front again we'll slot everything in place make sure I've got
09:52it facing the right way and again we'll just line everything up do I have it all
09:57the way in I don't think I have it all the way in just line everything up here
10:01sometimes this is actually honestly the hardest thing to do there we go and then
10:04you get everything get going now again I'm gonna bring back into display stand
10:07full disclosure full disclosure that does not actually come include the
10:10display stand but it helps just at least for right now to balance this up even
10:14though again it doesn't really technically belong this is again maybe
10:18not this size because obviously that's a lot of additional plastic to produce a
10:21rectangular piece like this but again like I think they could have easily
10:24added just a tiny little display stand with a just a clear post something to
10:28attach on the undercarriage of it other than that though I like the look though
10:31of the starship it turned out really nice I think I mean Anakin Skywalker has
10:34really interesting looking Jedi starfighter I'd love to see also them
10:37release ones if they haven't already the ones that we see at the beginning I
10:40think of is it Star Wars 3 isn't it yeah we're actually you see obi-wan
10:44Kenobi and you see of course Anakin flying around on their dual Jedi
10:48starfighters I love the seem to release those if they haven't already wrapping
10:51up now the review for the Star Wars micro galaxy squadron Anakin Skywalker's
10:54Jedi starfighter I've got the vehicle display with both R2-D2 and Anakin in
10:59their situated places obviously you wouldn't be able to swap them around R2
11:03may be able to pilot a ship but Anakin would just die suffocation out in space
11:07I've also got a display with the hyperspace transport ring while it
11:10looks good though on the starship without having the included display
11:13stand I had to use this one from another figure company there's no real way
11:17because there's so much weight on the back of the starship for obvious reasons
11:20that the starship if you're looking to have something similarly displayed on
11:23your shelf you're gonna have to find something that you have from another
11:26figure line and pillage that for display the fact that they included the
11:30hyperspace ring is a nice touch the fact though they didn't include a display
11:33stand is one thing that makes the starship suffer some of the plastic like
11:37the canopy area is a little on the frayed side it looks like they didn't
11:40need to they probably should have cleaned it up a little bit when it came
11:42out more of the mold I don't know if that's gonna be with every Jedi
11:45starfighter of Anakin's or just happens to be mine it's decently painted I've
11:49got a few little issues though with the front landing gear coming out and
11:52staying out properly but that I like the look of it it just really needed it have
11:56itself a display stand now again if you guys are interested to get this one it
11:59is available sold separately the micro galaxy squadron even though we don't
12:03have a whole lot of them here in Canada I've only seen the off chance gone to a
12:07local store and in the off chance I maybe I've seen one one or two so once
12:11again distribution isn't here the greatest in Canada but is normally sold
12:15separately in stores or if you haven't had any luck like I haven't had any luck
12:19you can also pick up the entire five set series three starfighter class box set
