Hey guys, it's Dave from amptcomics.com and what I have here is the official Red Sox
0:15
Game Day event giveaway, which is going to be given out to fans going to the May 1st
0:21
baseball game. This is just the first of a month full of Game Day events
0:28
And this one in particular is celebrating Star Wars right in time for May 4th
0:35
May the 4th be with you. And as you can see, there's a Millennium Falcon on the box
0:41
I wonder why. If we turn the box a little more, Millennium Falcon, and then we get, oh, what's this
0:48
It's a Xando Calrissian Bobblehead. So this is obviously a baseball player, a Red Sox baseball player, but done up like
0:57
Xando Calrissian, which is kind of cool. And it actually is kind of fitting for the upcoming solo film, since Xando will be a
1:07
major character in it. And we get to see how he was involved in Han's life early on, before he got the Millennium
1:15
Falcon, and I'm sure during, because that'll be in the movie. Anywho, let's unbox this
1:21
Again, this is going to be given out to lucky folks who go to the game on May 1st
1:26
And as you can see, this is a pretty well-made bobblehead. What's that in his hand
1:32
Oh wait, it's the bottom of a baseball bat. That's because there is more of a baseball bat, you have to connect it to the figure
1:42
As you can see, it's just a, actually a pretty hard piece of plastic
1:48
I'm assuming they did this because of packaging reasons, it might break
1:55
So once you get the figure out, first of all, look at the base, it's got some nice orange
2:01
I'm assuming it's sort of like the Millennium Falcon. On the back we have Star Wars name, and which this is Star Wars name
2:09
It feels, oh, this is actually really heavy. This is going to stay on your shelf quite well
2:16
And then on the front, Xando Calrissian. I can't say for certain if the likeness is perfect, but we'll put a picture up to show
2:25
you the closeness. This bobble is quite good. It's so heavy, you know, it's funny, I always imagine bobbleheads are great for a car, right
2:35
Because you're always moving. But this guy is so heavy, if this dislodged in the car, you'd probably lose an eye
2:44
Anyway, the paint job on this is pretty good, it mimics the Lando character quite well
2:50
And there's some gold and some very light purple, or I guess you'd call it violet
2:55
There's some detail on the hair on the back too. This is a pretty cool little figure
2:59
Now let's put the baseball bat into his hand, if we can
3:05
Jeez, how do you do this? It doesn't, okay. There we go, oh, it just goes right in
3:13
It's not too hard. There it is. Goes in there pretty good
3:19
That's not coming out. What's interesting is his head will actually hit the bat
3:24
Anyway, so this is obviously a giveaway, a free giveaway, to promote Star Wars Day at
3:30
Red Sox, May 1st. Since it's free, I mean, this is a pretty sweet little figure
3:37
And if you're not going to the game, I'm sure these are going to pop up online. It's a fun little toy
3:43
I mean, it goes with Star Wars and it's a nice theme. And it's pretty well made
3:47
I don't know, check it out. If you go to the baseball game on May 1st, you'll get one of these suckers
3:53
These are obviously limited. I don't know if they have one for everyone, but yeah, I would recommend this
4:00
It's pretty sweet, especially if you like the player. Anyway, thanks for watching
4:04
