The Black Series has gone deluxe! Larger scale figures and accessories are coming, kicking off with Wave 1’s Biker Scout and Jabba The Hutt (non SDCC version). The Biker Scout is a standard Black Series 6 inch scale figure and comes packaged with an in-scale Speeder Bike as seen in Return of the Jedi. A stand comes-with, so you can pose the figure on-bike for some dynamic shots. We’ve shot it up and done up some thoughts, check out over 35 shots courtesy of site sponsor Entertainment Earth!

Overall
Overall – I dig it. I had the original back when I was a kid, and loved the break apart feature. Would just press that button and explode it over and over. This doesn’t have that, but it can be broken apart. Oddly, that was the first thing I checked for. The Scout is on par with Black Series 6 Inch releases so far, and fits in well with the other Troopers. The stand is appreciated, can angle-pose it and tuck it behind the rest on a shelf and still see it. Paint and sculpt on the bike is good, lots of fine details down to the rotating gun underneath. The only thing that is a negative is the price, coming in at 40 bucks USD. I think it’s worth it, you get a well crafted intricate additional piece along side a 20 dollar figure. But when you stop rationalizing it, you still dropped 40 bucks. Doing that repeatedly can get costly, so I hope Hasbro chooses wisely for these new Deluxe sets as the line continues. Check out some key shots below, and over 30 more in slideshow format after that!
