Very briefly at the end. You've gotta give Wicket credit -- once he finds a hood design he likes, he sticks with it.

Mando arrived from Amazon JP today. The tiny option parts are a nightmare, but overall he's a lot better in-hand than I was expecting based on reviews. His neck doesn't even look especially short in person.

Argh, fine, I'm sold on Wicket. Placing my first order with Toys Buying Agent based on the recommendations in here. I really want the helmet-drums, but not quite enough to get the whole 2-pack. So, uh, if anyone ends up with extras...

I've been consistently getting those messages for Amazon JP and Amazon UK deliveries through DHL for the last four or five months. I was cautious about it too at first, but it's worked out fine and they just leave the box by the door. No delays.

Thanks for the suggestions on import sources! Very much appreciated.

Don't suppose anyone has a recommended importer for IG-11, by any chance? I tried googling around, but I kept finding really lousy reviews of the places that were listing him.

For what it's worth, there's some behind-the-scenes footage from ANH in this week's episode of Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian (I assume nothing that hasn't been seen before), and the on-location Jawa robes look pretty close if not identical to the color of the HT figure.

Comparing them back-to-back, it actually looks like I'm wrong -- her lower legs are slightly longer than the standard trooper's, but she only ends up about half a centimeter taller, if that. There's a good amount of parts sharing, but a decent number of differences, too. Her lower legs, torso...

I just wish she was taller than the FO trooper. Leg and torso extensions would've helped a lot.

There's always this guy, if you can find one. https://www.mwctoys.com/REVIEW_022305a.htm

It can do a couple of decent poses, but the super "someone sent us a neutral CG model and it was all we had for reference" facial expression and the head that really should be sunken down another inch into the collar really do hurt it. The translucent ears are nice.

Re: Speculation : Hot Toys Disney+ Figures "The Mandalorian" + "Cassian" + "Kenobi" I wonder how old li'l Stinky the Hutt is at this point...

Mine pegs in and stays put...but the flipside is that it also chewed up both the paint and the plastic of the rifle tab. It's not the best fit.

So they've gotta do a Lone Wolf and Cub style deluxe Mando figure set for this line, right? Right??

I get my Meisho Star Wars Movie Realization figures from Eknight -- they're good and reliable. The only time there was a hiccup (on a non-SW thing) was when I got my preorder in after the recommended order-by date and they didn't let me know they wouldn't be fulfilling my order. Everything else...

I've always wondered why Rex felt the need to weld together two chestplates. The helmet, sure, he liked parts of his old Phase 2 one...but what was so different about the torso armor?

Here's another newbie question: is there any reason to wait until 5/4 to order from Sideshow? I realize they're not going to discount the preorder price, but I don't know if there's any likelihood of other incentives that would make me kick myself for pulling the trigger on it a few days before.

Thanks very much, everybody! I'd prefer to wait for BBTS to take orders again once it's in-stock, but twitchiness about potentially missing it there again and then having it be sold out everywhere might lead me to just preorder from Sideshow despite the higher cost. I really appreciate the...

Sorry, folks -- new here. I desperately wanted to preorder this set, but BBTS sold out before I could get one. I haven't done much 1/6th-scale collecting, so I don't know the best places to order. Is there a recommended site in the US that a) still has it available, and b) has a decent balance...
