Not sure if this been discussed before but thankfully the Armorer comes with a damaged beskar chest piece, shown in some of the promo pictures.

Yeah I was worried for a second since I didn't see it in the full accessory pic but glad it's included.

She's hot here. BTW, what's this skirt made of? Pleather? If so, HT should add an extra in the box.

I would assume it’s probably the same material used for Kylo Ren’s cloak.

Appreciate the enthusiasm and glad to be talking about something relevant than other things.

For me personally, I think that’s a bit too much power fantasy and forced conflict placed onto two characters who both don’t really have established motivations (as of yet) to clash with each other. But that’s just my opinion. Your opinions are your own and valid for you.

Again, it is my observation that she does not seem to actively seek out conflict. Only to defend herself. She skillfully resolved the tension between Din Djarin and Paz Vizsla diplomatically. She told Din Djarin that Grogu is not an enemy despite his kind, the Jedi, being the ancient enemy of Mandalore.

Being wise and level enough to make that sort of distinction means she is not a rabid fanatic. I certainly do not see her as some kind of justiciar looking to punish or execute people without extremely good cause.

Her main concern always seems to be the foundlings, and the well being of the foundlings is important to Din Djarin as well. So long as those goals align, I don’t see conflict.

She would probably be more upset if he had hypothetically abandoned his quest, word, and creed to help Grogu than for taking his helmet off, regardless of what consequences of that there may or may not be.

Future seasons will hold higher stakes, intrigue, politics, sure. But I’m not convinced Din Djarin and The Armorer are going to have an armed conflict specifically. That is not how I read their characters.

I’m certainly not ruling out he could end up in power in some capacity, even if he doesn’t want it. That’s a potential path they could take his story. And there’s always the possibility of some sort of conflict between them, though there would have to be more development towards that.

If anything, I would imagine he would want his old tribe to join him on Mandalore through diplomacy than fighting. And if a new Mandalore is seated, many will follow them willingly.

We will agree to disagree and look forward to the next season to see what happens.

Agree. IMO the "songs of eons past" also might have made mention of the Darksaber and a Mandalorian that became a Jedi.

Also caring about the future at all, is one ensuring the survival of the Mandalorians. I could see her being one of the voices of reason, in the end. But if there is a clash between Bo-katan and Din D'jarin, say (if) IMO she probably wouldn't interfere. This the Way.

I could tho, see Din D'jarin having the Darksaber eating at Bo-katan. Little by little, gnawing away, until she practically forces a fight, whether he wants to or not. Maybe. Or maybe everyone just joins forces to fight Moff Gideon; that seems to be an SW thing.

Anyway, no release yet? One of the few figs lately I think of as an instant PO.

I was wondering about that. Would be awesome if it includes the velcro backing so we can use it on Beskar Mando

I hope so too! Could look cool on the S1 beskar Din.

There will be some friction between Bo-Katarn and Din, but ultimately, there will be a bigger bad motha Mando to fight for the crown. Could be Paz since he is such a **** and his father? went for the crown too.

Well it's kinda awkward to fight someone who doesn't give a *&^% about a crown and keeps trying to hand you the symbolic sword.

Seen the SS Con article and talked to SS CS, looks like this will be up for preorder during the SS Con. So earliest is the 19th. Same goes for Neon IM.

Why would they be waiting that long? So stupid. The figures are revealed and they put one up already.

Want you to watch and participate in their event. Marketing 101. I had to ask SS CS since the Con article didn't exactly say that, but was vague enough to encourage you to sign up for the event. Hard to determine if it was for priority access to these Exclusives or any new Preorders during the Con. Seems like it is something different every year!

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

It's nonsense to put that weird Spiderman figure out but hold the rest back. I don't follow their logic. Everyone in tune enough to know about the Armorer figure also already knows about Sideshow's promo event.

 

[BurningRage]

Seems like you have to register to get priority access to pre-order her.

Yeah it's vague, but they literally pay you in reward points to sign up so it can't hurt right?

Click a button, get $5 free, registered for priority pre-order. I feel like a rat getting a food pellet from an experiment, but at least they make it easy.

I imagine that is how the rats feel too. Yes I registered.

Seems like they would get more pre-orders after the initial reveal. I am sure some order becuase of the excitement and then regret it. Now they have a chance to think about it and pass.

Doubt it. Nothing gets peoples endorphins pumping like FOMO once PO’s open and the release clock officially starts running.

 

[subzro]

i don't see a deluxe but i would bet my collection we will see another release sometime in the future if she shows up and d

If you ordered it today or in 3 weeks you still will get it at the same time. No rush really.

 

[sithocan]

If this and IM are being held for Con, then that means there won't be a bigger reveal. So we may forget Bespin Han, Luke or Padme.

True I suppose. It’s more the principal and that it just feels sort of dumb to make us wait to give them our money.

Caved and ordered this on TW. Extending my figure rule to 4/season. Feels dirty.
