Such a great figure.
Star Wars lore doesn’t make much sense in many aspects. This is one of them. Reusing armor where reusing creates plotholes…I'm going to ask this and it may have already been talked about so I apologize in advance, but is anyone else bothered by the design of this character in universe? What I mean is, it's supposed to be the CW era, we saw DW in the series and these guys look a fair bit different, which is ok, but the armor is just repurposed Mando armor from 30 years later, when the in universe explanation for his armor is it's been cobbled together, the art of book even mentions the right thigh plate beings repurposed deathtrooper thigh, but then this guy predates deathtroopers. The upper body armors make more sense as they're a consistent and symmetrical outfit. Anyways I hope that makes sense

Nice touch with the artwork, Chris.
Very nice
I agree with you. It does actually bother me quite a bit. But I try really hard not to think about it as not to detract from the figure itself, which is fantastic, even if the design has those issues.I'm going to ask this and it may have already been talked about so I apologize in advance, but is anyone else bothered by the design of this character in universe?

You won’t be disappointed, one of my favorites. ;DI broke down and picked this one up. Had some gift cards in Amazon and found a good deal, to begin with. Already shipped out.
Thank you to all of you instigators. You know who you are...
Like the roman soldier, buying used armour or receiving it as a gift from their veteran family members. An armour set handled and serviced with great care could probably last longer than a generation of soldiers/Mandalorians..... But is it not the case that many if not most Mandos are wearing armor pieces passed down from family and friends? And that some of these pieces can be hundreds of years old? Therefore its not surprising to me to see characters wearing old armor. In fact, Din's is surprisingly new.
The shock trooper is giving away his rifle as a Christmas gift, what a guy!This is a great figure.
Death on watch...
