[BACON!]

Asta, what does the desiccant packet look like in your tray? I have never seen mildew that targeted on a figure

The desiccant is a standard Hot Toys one.

I've never had mould on a new figure before either. It likes natural fibres so only targeted the non-pleather parts of the belt.

 

[Asta]

She's very photogenic.

Hot Toys' Sabine, Hera and Chopper had me rethinking how I should group the figures from the c. 9 ABY Mandalorian era.

The Remnant associated Imperials have been gradually assembling, and Thrawn will eventually lead them. I want to put the Rebels Ghost crew into pre-OT times, as it'd allow me to used my preferred Ahsoka: The Clone Wars version.

I rearranged my figures today, moving most of the Mandalorian series alongside the Remnant. Ahsoka the White will join them.

Koska and Fennec are standout figures and I see them accompanying the Rebels with the younger Ahsoka. It's throwing them back ten years, but Ming-Na Wen is ageless, and Koska's age is indeterminate. With Hera and Sabine these would make a Femme Force Five:

@ Asta - What an adventure this figure was on getting to you! Your shots look great. You were probably right about spores in the factory. I had it with a figure a while back too. Kinda sad that the figure makes it all the way through production only to be funked in packaging...

But...her long journey is over and she looks great in your collection. She's definitely one of my figures of the year!

Thanks, jedibear.

She's a stunning figure from head to toe. Her and Koska are my two favourite Hot Toys from The Mandalorian/TBOBF.

The only other figure I went back to from my cancelled list was the Dark Trooper when KG Hobby reduced him during Black Friday.

Bo-Katan was on that list too, and after getting Koska I keep wondering whether I should've kept her. Though I also keep thinking Bo-Katan 2.0 will get released at some point.

I don't own Fennec yet but I was wondering if the helmet visor closes or is it permanently open? I much prefer the helmet look but closed like in the first season.

 

[borgified]

Unfortunately the helmet doesn’t close completely @Cthulhu. If you scroll up to the look at Asta’s pic posted close to the top of this page, that will be your clue.

I know that others would like to have the completely closed helmet look too.

 

[Cthulhu]

Okay, thanks. Guess I'll try and modify it when I purchase Fennec eventually.

 

[sithocan]

They should have included a closed helmet since that's very iconic.

 

[zeelhar]

They look good together

Does anyone have a 3d printer that could make extra credits she’s comes with

Awesome! Ming-Na is nearly ten years older than me but somehow looks about thirty years younger than me. Born in 1963! Wow.

Edit:
Am I the only person who struggled with putting the helmet together lol??

 

[QuiGonFishing]

OMG, how awesome is this!? Ming and Katie talking about what they knew (or didn't know) about Luke's return in the Mando S2 Finale!




And for those of you who know me well, it's a resounding YES from me on both accounts....

 

[Daggoth]

It seems criminal that this isnt included in the star wars sale on SS. I guess its just selling too well. I wanna pick it up but being a side character and not an unlimited budget its hard to take the plunge.

I once thought as you do. But I changed my mind and bought it anyway for the following reasons:

1. She isn't a side character, but a main character in BOBF and will likely be in the Mando and Grogu film.
2. Ming-Na Wen is a great actress and person, and the head sculpt is one of Hot Toys best.
3. The costume is unique and tailoring is top notch.
4. She sold out quickly everywhere (at the time) except Sideshow. Underground Figures got her back in stock temporarily and for a discounted price. I ended up getting from here.
5. We may never get another figure of her.

Don’t forget that Ming Na is well established actress in the Movie/Show Biz realm @Daggoth. There’s so many versions of Temura Morrison as he’s a baseplate for the umpteen versions of him as a “Clone” based on the Star Wars franchise (and honestly it can pretty get tiring after so much exposure).
