I think I might use the extra Stormtrooper weathered helmet with the base pictured below

I'll be using mine for a Mimban trooper

Would it be easier to use the upcoming Mandalorian Stormtrooper? Or is the helmet/weathering wrong for it?

The weathering is very patchy on the Remnant. More like rust.But I guess it could be used.

I guess it could be used, however I have some clean Stormtrooper armour and a cape from Toy Anxiety which I was planning to weather with mud like in that picture I posted. The Ewok helmet seems to fit pretty well weathering wise.
 
I give you guys credit, I genuinely don?t know how y?all can live with a wife who complains about your collecting if it doesn?t bring any financial hardships.

For me, I view is as the equivalent of hating a part of who you are.

To be fair, I can see how other people's collections could be overwhelming, if they were something I didn't like -- Barbies or Beanie Babies or doilies or something.

My last long-term relationship...she tolerated my collecting or was vaguely amused by it, but didn't fight me on it or encourage it. She was kinda neutral. My current girlfriend isn't a geek per se, but she digs it, and has her favourites -- Iron Man, the HT Batmobile -- and has strong opinions on sculpted likenesses and cut-and-sew on costumes. It does make it more fun.

In my case, my collection tends to stay on the smaller side so it's probably easier on the woman.

I dramatize a bit for humorous effect. My wife might give the occasional eye-roll when I unbox something like the Endgame Thanos Iron Studios statue but otherwise she thinks my basement is pretty neat, even though she has zero interest in my pop culture stuff.
 
This looks quite good from the photos. Now to order an Endor Luke. Have never been crazy about the gritted teeth portrait, but if it ends up bothering me too much I’ll just swap it out.

I also didn't like the gritted teeth look and ended up going with the Sideshow version. I'm quite pleased with it...
 
My wife is very supportive. She tends to gravitate towards the tailoring of my figures rather than the headsculpt. But at the same time I am not a HT /action figure hoarder buying multiple figures every month until I have boxes of MOC, recently shipped toys all over the floor.

I try to keep my collection very lean, one per shelf to highlight that these are high end collectable. My last two HT was Dooku and Maul and truthfully right now I am feeling a HT withdrawl. Problem is there is nothing interesting to buy. Others are nice to have but not willing to pay "that much" for them. Same with NECA getting tired of paying over $50 CAN for a single figure. So in short it has been a very long time since I have purchased a action figure but I love the ones I have!!
 
I just ended up paying an extra $40 and getting the deluxe version from Popculcha. Maybe I'll like the second portrait better.
 
Think Im going to pick up just Wicket. He looks pretty good except the white hair on the face which may be able to be futz to look better. Not sure about the 2 pack. I need a Leia for sure, but would prefer a snag a Hoth version but theyre $$. Decisions, decisions.
 
Yeah Timewalker seemed to be the cheapest option back when I was deciding where to order. Although now I'd probably go with Toys Buying Agent like I do everything else.
