It's a bit more grindhouse than retro toy commercial.
On that note The Man Behind The Mask's, War of the Stars (Grindhouse edit), was taken down from his own site long ago. While I downloaded a copy along with his silent serial edits, I thought they'd gone from the net for good - but nothing's ever truly gone:

Definitely a nod to the OG Kenner commercials. Loved it!
I wouldn't mind a usb powered Cantina table to go with these guys.
Labria will be worth a fortune in 20 years.
Oh wait, in 20 years, no one will collect hard 1/6th figures. Holographic figures you store in the cloud will be the rage...

Yeah, like the stupid "virtual" digital cards rage they sell online. All of it! Ridiculous!
Non-fungible figures?
There's a whole generation, two by now, that never played with toys.
It is funny to see a retro-Kenner commercial for five figs that will set you back the better part of $1,500 if you "collect them all."
Back in the day you could collect all 92 Kenner figs for the price of just one of these figs.
But great to see, I am leaning toward getting all these even if I'm still not hugely excited about Labria and not sure I need Garindan (I have a custom that looks about 3/4 as good as this one, and it's a simple fig to be paying $270 for.)
It's a teary-eyed joy to see SSC back in their wheelhouse and just seeing cantina and jabba goons en-masse (as I said, it's one of the most shocking 1/6 moments of the past 15 years to see them all drop.) Even if there's a lot of things that bug me about the figs: the strange sculpted fur on Walrusman's face that looks like spaghetti, the goofy expression and slightly off likeness for Evazan and the lines/ribbing on Greedo's jumpsuit being much too numerous/narrow and the Greedo belt being accurate to a videogame and older Hasbro figure rather than the movie.
But it's the return of the old days of Sideshow, and that was always a mix of good and bad (and as the years went on, a black eye on price too like these are.)

Haha, the vid is pretty great. While I'm not at all glad about the prices, I'm so glad to see these figs.

Yeah, fun vintage style commercial and character theme, figures (though over priced) look terrific.
1:6 SW needed a OT shot in the arm to bring some life back into it, and this might be it.
Curious how far this might go into Cantina extras?
And hopefully Jabba's Palace and Skiff goons?

Agreed. Star Wars IS this line and hopefully, it's successful. I would love to get a new SSC Fett and his bounty hunter buddies too. I never cared for the Hot Toys versions.

Yup, But they still cannot afford to make these any less than stellar releases and Walrusman is indeed missing a severed arm...Yeah, fun vintage style commercial and character theme, figures (though over priced) look terrific.

Would've guessed Evazan would be next but excited to see them moving the line forward quickly. Anxious to get a peek at their Jabba's Palace offerings...
