Re: Speculation : Hot Toys Disney+ Figures "The Mandalorian" + "Cassian" + "Kenobi"
Ugh, I know that's what they were strongly hinting at, but I had a hard enough time caring about internal Mandalorian politics during Clone Wars and Rebels, so not sure I want to see an entire season of that. I love the Mandalorians on their own, but an entire planet of them for an entire season could be a bit much...
I don't think that's what will happen - there's not enough shows per season for one thing, at least IMO for Season 3. Plus from the looks of Season 2, seems like F&F can't resist fan service stuffing (or maybe Disney is encouraging that; more characters=more stuff to sell). I am not buying every SW character that was ever thought up, just because they appear in the Mandalorian.
On the other hand, Mandalorians/Mandalorian culture and exploring more; and Din D'jarin's arc through the whole thing, for me was one of the strongest appeals of the show. Had to talk myself out of the Deathwatch fig. Ultimately - pure guess - Din doesn't end up being Mandalore's leader - something he doesn't seem to be interested in anyway. (If they keep to the Western theme where gunman/warrior helps out, and then rides off into the sunset.)
This show hasn't gone the way I wanted LOL.
IMO too much too soon. Am wary of the march of all these SW characters through this show. Like I was never a SW collector until Mandalorian.
But then I got the SSC Jawas (to go with Mando) and then SSC Obi-Wan (superb fig and liked the idea, which for that time period isn't THAT far away from what Din D'jarin is e.g. guardian) and Qui-Gon should ship this month (because, it's Qui-Gon).
There's a real danger of 1) needing ANOTHER cabinet
and 2) serious budget pain
. I still need to get IG-11 in the door. Beskar Mando. The only positive? is with all the delays, it's easier to keep the budget deck cleared. Like I don't have to leap on POs, 'coz of the extended wait times. I'd forgotten I even had IG-11 on order, until SSC reminded me.
For me, this Luke may be a pass. Not being a long-term SW collector - for me farmboy Luke would have been definitive. That version is long gone, I guess. I need to keep the collection - or try to - keep to Mando & co. $$$ And unfortunately, it's likely I'll want the fig from the Obi-Wan show too.
Still hoping to see Din rocking a new paint job kicking some *** with the dark saber.
Yeah, just occurred to me
the pulse rifle is bits of dust now too.
OK, this show is doing the classic hero's journey - no Crest, no rifle, no family, no job...well, alright, he's got the Darksaber and a really cool spear.
So, Mando spear version + tank Mando + royal guard? black diecast armor Mando = ~ 1,000$. I need to start saving.
