Biker Scout with Speeder Bike — Star Wars The Black Series
The Black Series Biker Scout with Speeder Bike — 2014 Deluxe Blue Line. $39.99 wide retail. Biker Scout: 25 joints, blaster, Endor dirt paint. Boot dirt only half way up — noted. Speeder Bike: work of art, in-scale, movable rear flaps, rotating gun, display stand. Figure never sits all the way down. Archive re-release in 2019 fixed the boot paint.
Overview
The Biker Scout with Speeder Bike is a 2014 Black Series Deluxe Blue Line release at $39.99 with wide retail availability — the first vehicle-scale set in the Black Series 6” programme and still the definitive Endor patrol display piece for the line. The Speeder Bike is described as a work of art. The Biker Scout has a genuine paint flaw worth knowing about. A standalone Biker Scout with improved paint was released in the Archive Collection in 2019, but that release doesn’t include the Speeder Bike — this 2014 set is the only way to get the vehicle in the Black Series 6” format.
The Biker Scout
25 joints — the same above-baseline source body used for the Biker Scout (Carbonized 2022) and Biker Scout (Holiday 2022). Ball-jointed dual-axis neck, swivel biceps, dual-axis elbows (swivel above and below), swivel boots, ball-jointed ankles. The articulation is exceptional for a 2014 release and remains above the Phase 4 baseline.
The blaster fits well into both hands but sits only loosely in its boot holster. The figure is painted well with subtle grey pouches and Endor dirt on the knee caps and boots. No removable armour, no head under the helmet, visor can’t be flipped.
The boot dirt paint problem: the boots are only painted with dirt halfway up — which looks a little off. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. This specific QC note is why the 2019 Archive re-release improved the boot paint — Hasbro acknowledged the issue. If pristine boot dirt matters for your display, the Archive standalone is the corrected version, though it has no Speeder Bike.
The Speeder Bike
The Speeder Bike is a work of art — incredibly detailed. A breakdown of what moves:
Foot rests — can be unplugged from the bike body. Both rear flaps — movable independently. Bottom gun — can be rotated. The bike is in-scale with the 6” figure and holds together as a complete vehicle rather than a toy with a figure attached.
The Biker Scout fits well onto the bike — he can grab both handlebars and the feet align via peg holes in the boot soles that plug into the pedal pegs, the same dual-boot-peg engineering as the Han Solo TaunTaun set. The fit is functionally correct for display. The one honest note: even though the figure fits overall very well onto the bike, it was never possible to make the trooper sit all the way down into a fully-seated position. The mounted display configuration looks great; the fully-committed-seated pose just isn’t achievable.
Display stand — included and works very well, keeping the bike stable even in more dynamic angled poses. Essential for a vehicle set with no flat-bottom stability of its own.
The Archive Connection
The 2019 Archive Biker Scout (id=20452) is a single-card re-release of this same figure with improved boot dirt paint. It doesn’t include a Speeder Bike. For collectors who want the corrected paint without the vehicle that’s the option — for anyone building an Endor patrol display, this 2014 set with the Speeder Bike is the one that matters.
Secondary Market
Wide retail, 2014, Phase 2 Blue Line packaging. No longer at retail. Verify the blaster and the display stand — the stand is the most likely separated component for a loose set. The Speeder Bike’s movable components (foot rests, rear flaps, bottom gun) are worth inspecting for completeness.
Verdict
Biker Scout with Speeder Bike is the definitive Endor patrol piece in the Black Series 6” programme — the only way to get a properly scaled Speeder Bike in this scale, and the vehicle itself is genuinely exceptional with multiple moving components and display stand support. The Biker Scout’s 25-joint articulation is well above the later Phase 4 baseline. The halfway-up boot dirt is the honest cosmetic flaw that the 2019 Archive re-release corrected; it’s a display-distance issue rather than a structural one. The figure never sits fully down on the bike in a committed seated position — workable but worth knowing.
