1/6 Hot Toys - TMS 008 - The Mandalorian: Bounty Hunter Droid IG-11 Collectible Figure

[Chronos1919]

Yeah the coupons/promo codes (like from new orders) seems to have really tailed off recently

No kidding. I haven't gotten anything for a single one of my recent orders.

In regards to this figure, I'm thinking I'll pick up a second Scout w/speeder bike to give the bike to IG-11. Then I can have a scout w/speeder and solo scout displayed as well.

I hadn't pre-ordered the speeder and scout set as I just didn't care for the scout that much. I have been tempted by the idea of IG-11 on the bike with the child though. I'd basically just have an extra biker scout as well... Hmmmm.

...and now I need to preorder another speeder

Also IMO if u are a new SW collector like me, and starting a new Mando shelf, this piece screams Star Wars. Suppose Storm Troopers do too, but based on owning Ultron Mark 1, HT can do mind-blowing stuff with depicting 1/6 robotics.

Like the Mark 1 is great just as an example of what can be done in 1/6 scale. Am hoping for the same with IG-11.

I missed the original PO from my usual sites. Will be Jumping on it on release.

Wonder if it'll have diecast parts like k2so (legs) for stability.

That?d be nice. If I recall the original description for K2SO made no mention of Diecast parts, so it is definitely possible. K2 and IG will look great together imo

I wish they would do a $500ish deluxe version of this with the speeder and child in bag. I don't really want the dumpy mando scout. Would much rather spend scout money on ROTJ scouts.

That?s how they get you though. You don?t get everything you want in one package.

They know what they?re doing.

Laughably I try to rein in my mushrooming collection. Was trying to stick to main characters, so didn't need the scout. Really don't have a lot of use for the fig - maybe will sell him cheap when the time comes.

This guy is now showing as sold out at Popcultcha.

This guy is now showing as sold out at Popcultcha.

Yep.
Qui gon and Kylo Ren wont be far behind as they have also been SOLD OUT at Ikon the past 2 months.

If I hadn't already ordered him I would've had to after watching Disney Gallery and the whole technical backstory. But yeah, PopCultcha is my go-to when stuff is sold out; that's kind've a warning being sold out there.

After going ages without getting any $25 codes from Sideshow just got my second in about 10 days. Was the push I needed to order this guy on the heels of Johnny Favreau promising not to ruin the show. Hopefully he ships before end of this year.

 

[yodasan]

Yep, I've had a similar experience with codes recently. Hope this trend continues-

Haha did he promise that ? Well I guess it's in his best interest

I saw also they're working on S3 pre-production. Awesome !!

Wow what an article !!! Faverau has really got it. I mean it's not hard really. We nerd fans are the ones who like he says "carry the torch", and educate the normies that this stuff is something you need to see. If it's good.....

Chuck Wendig really went at it though

There's the rub. Fandom undoubtedly has a contingent of threatened toxic incel neckbeards as described by Rian et al ... but singling out that toxic segment conveniently bypassed the issue that they were selling inferior product.

As Favreau has said about reading the room ... if you're gonna DJ in a hip-hop club you don't play Barry Manilow and call it subversion.

(All apologies to any actual ST fans. I'm not here to change your mind.)
