Hot Toys Mandalorian Season 3 Moff Gideon

[DioramaMaker]

The thing that gets me is that S3 had some pretty cool things in it. Deep cuts to star wars lore even, but for every one of those, they threw it under the bus elsewhere.

I still honestly love the CSI: CIS episode every time we move away from Jack Black and Lizzo. Having Doc Brown as a separatist sympathizer was honestly a fun concept. Din being...erm...robophobic? Is a good character arc to build on, and the episode even tries to challenge it with the droid bar. We see everyone fauning over droids in Star Wars, seeing the other side is interesting.

The space pirates were neat, the mines of mandalore made for some actual spooky stuff in SW, and the mandalorian raid on Navarro was definitely cool. But then we get things like the Bo v Axe fight which was... abysmal.

But whereas I can recall quality moments in S1 and S2 (to a lesser extent), I had to try to list what I just did here.

Weed Pirate Captain was never "neat"!!!!

We could have had Sidon Ithano! Instead we get something straight out of Sid & Marty Kroft. The only good thing was we didnt see Ithano in order for them to kill him off for no reason.

Meanwhile even if you loved Andor it was the least toyetic Star Wars has ever been.

Yeah, I'd probably at least get a Luthen Rael if the figure looked good.

I came back just to bump this thread to say how little excitement I felt when I saw the announcement. Because that’s what you do on the internet.

No but for real, who else is happy with just the original Gideon figure? That appearance is iconic with both season finales.

Used to be all in with the Mando line but I think I’m good with passing on a lot of figures in the future.

MYENSHI IS BAAAAACKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were so worried!! Its good to see you back!!

Hey! Who let MyenShi out of my basement???


Guess I better go find another person to lock in my dungeon. Playing tea time party with only my HT dollies and teddy bears just ain't the same.

 

[Ramatuelle]

Sad to say, Im pretty over the Mando show and its scions here lately; much more interested in CW stuff.

Season 3 Gideon just ticks me off, this mashup of everything menacing in the SW universe that still, somehow, manages to not be very threatening. Nice figure, I would not purchase it at half off.

This is "Thank You" code eligible for anyone who has one expiring (like myself).

Just wanted you to know, I've been looking at this GIF for 14 hours........

Just a reminder...Look what's taking over at the "sphere" in Vegas when U2 leaves....

 

[goatchumby]

Can someone PS Gus Fring's glasses onto the sculpt?

Sorry I'm late.

I was just there on Saturday. Will be hard to beat U2 but Gus can do it.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Anyone care...?

 

[jaztermareal]

I do, cool looking figure from a terrible season of a show. Have yet to order but will pick up on release

 

[Ramatuelle]

This figure looks great. Too bad onscreen he was completely devoid of real menace. Hemlock from TBB was more of a villain that this guy, and by a considerable margin.

That no one's even bothered to put up the blogger photos of the guard released yesterday says it all.

 

[Jaycepticon]

Anyone care...?

While I’m surprised he’s wait-listed, I still feel like this guy’s destined to get the deep discount eventually. But I won’t be picking him up unless they announce Imperial Super Commando‘s to go with him though.

I'm still excited for the figure as I think it's a cool look. I won't have the episode running on a screen behind the figure when it's displayed so not terribly concerned about the quality of source material. Will look cool on the shelf. Similar to the OWK Vader...I was ok with the source material and wowed by the figure. Still a shelf favorite currently...
