1/6 Hot Toys -TMS044 - The Mandalorian: The Armorer (2021 Toy Fair Exclusive)

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

I got mine too and she is very nice overall with just a couple very unfortunate issues. The body kinda sucks(everyone knows that already) and the fur is terribly inaccurate, I want to source something better to replace it someday. She can't hold the tongs very well so I wrapped a thin layer of plastic around my desired grip location to fix that. Otherwise she is a great figure and a very important addition to The Mandalorian line.

The Armorer just arrive and set up little display for her but need to find place to settle her

@dukefett - Take your time in posting your pics/review after your long vacation.

Like here... (not mine (likley 6" scale))

To bad they don't do this for 1/6

 

[borgified]

@Mondragon - The scale is correct: 6 inch. It's the Black Series Version Hasbro Pulse Exclusive Version used for this dio.

That looks fantastic.

I see a 1/6th scale JazzInc version being announced in the near future...

Mine is on the way. It's gotta cross an ocean though.

Mine arrived late today. She's beautiful!

 

[Joe Prince]

Got mine today! Will open soon.

Nice pics everyone, and here's a few more...

The last two show a quick mod on the stand's grabber post. I took the waist grabber wire and bent the loops down to form the leg grabber version. It was a super simple mod, but necessary like it should have been.

Great job with that stand Endo! Everytime I try to bend those I seem to mangle them. It is nonsense to include a waist grabber stand, they do damage to the figures over time. I think they do that with all female figures for whatever reason.

Oh, and also for Marty Mcfly because Michael J Fox requested it because he didn't want a metal rod up his @ss. True story

Oooh I really like that rock slab you're using for her tools! What is that?

Great photos!

And yes, a waist grabber was a terrible choice for a figure with pleather waist.

Thanks guys!
I was close to purchasing a couple generic stands and source the wires, when after a minute of looking at the waist grabber, I was like, "Oh, of course!" the loops are already formed they just need to point downward. I did try to keep the scratching to a minimum by wrapping the pliers in some tape, and just took my time to get two side lined up.

Hmm, I really hope HT is not intent on giving us waist grabbers for whatever reason. I feel it was really out of place for The Armorer. In fact, I can't think of single instance I would use them over the standard leg grabber... okay maybe IG-11, but that's the exception?

This is actually a 4" x 4" slate drink coaster from Michaels craft store...

I picked a few packs with the plan to see if they could be used as tile flooring for figure dio's. Also, just something to pose figure on that had a different look.

Mine came today from Sideshow. The fur collar (or shawl or whatever it is) definitely should've been tweaked before production -- the size, shape, and general look of it is off. The articulation is lacking, though I was only ever going to have her holding her tools so it doesn't impact me much but a better body still would have improved the figure.

Those squabbles aside, though, she's great. Looks fantastic on my shelf next to my S1 Mandalorian.

Come on, now!
