1/6 Hot Toys - TMS 010 - The Mandalorian: Heavy Infantry Mandalorian aka Paz Vizla

[DarkChocobi]

BOBF version incoming?

This is absolutely ridiculous. I paid a hefty price for him in the secondary market.

Nailed it. Are you the "Hot Toys Wizard"?

I won't concede defeat until Sideshow has the nerve to list this with a $30 upcharge for that flimsy plastic disc made from recycled 2 liter Coke bottles.

Idk how you could have predicted he'd show up again AND be named this time. Especially when they showed all those helmets at the end of Season 1 representing the death of that cult. I get it, these aren't limited edition pieces but- that's still really frustrating. At least you get to enjoy it right now. This one will likely not see a release until 2024.

Oh I don’t think they’d use flimsy plastic. The shield is likely made of cardboard

And, I see that it comes pre-warped.

Come on HT, if you want to reissue a figure with a tiny change under a different model number, I suggest Admiral Tarkin

I think a lot of us saw this coming when he appeared in TBOBF.

I don’t know if it’s a placeholder, but they put him on the same stand (type and color) as The Armorer. So it’ll match better, at least.

Currently Din, Paz, and Armorer are on 3 entirely different types of stands.

The original Star Wars base… Why did they cancel it with newer releases? It looked good and served its purpose well. Consistency in bases is something we lack. Never thought we’d see the, then cool, sandtrooper display stand reused and repainted so many times over. If they want to return to these OG bases, im fine with it.

 

[Chopper Face]

Hmm, so black series made it official, now just need a Happy Hogan head at 1:6 I'm calling him Happy Infantry Mando ...Also doesn't this go completely against character's way.

I guess once he removes the helmet he has to just become Happy Infantry Man.

None are quite accurate to that Ringworld's under-city catwalk, but if you are recreating the Djarin vs Vizsla fight for the Darksber, yeah it makes more scene to have them on that similar grate stand. Adding a soft light through that grate would really sell it.

As for removable helmet option? Was this onetoys sculpt ever released?

Maybe a simple accessory "expansion-pack": with a new scene accurate stand, energy-buckler, Darksaber, and head sculpt, would have been a better sell, than re-releasing the whole figure.

 

[Hoody999]

So has this officially gone up ? I thought it was still a "prototype" like all the others ? So no certainty. Maybe he was just an easy space filler ?

 

[bebe13junior]

I really hope they reissue this!
I seriously regretted not getting it the first time.

It's not even very expensive anymore. Just watch ebay.

I think I may be good with the mando version.

Yeah I don't think this is for those who already have one. Meant for those who might have missed it.
With a tiny new incentive.

Yet with Hasbro selling their Favreau version
an exclusive Favreau head-sculpt might have been hysterical with it.

No coincidence how he dressed for photo op day...

 

[bebe13junior]

I really want this figure! I skipped on the first version and would love to have this one. Doesn’t even have to come with anything new tbh. Can they really justify the exact same figure with just a shield? Jon Favreau head sculpt I don’t need either. I would hope for a nice unique base maybe or the dark Saber even.

I was able to pick up a Heavy Mandalorian off Evilbay this past week for $240. Felt like I won the lottery. Pre-owned but in perfect condition and complete. Couldn’t be happier. Now my Armorer isn’t lonely anymore. Incredible figure with an incredible presence.

 

[Jaycepticon]

This guy was definitely slept on for some reason. I had mine up for months at less than retail and nobody bit. Glad BoBF reminded people of how cool he is.

Jay, you sold him off ?

Numbers were definitely lower on production? And some people were warning not wait for release to order.

Literally hours after SSC had it in stock, it went to waitlist, and then waitlist full. Lol. I don't want to repeat that one again. Awesome figure though.

@Jase25 incredible score! Congrats!

 

[Jaycepticon]

Jay, you sold him off ?

Nope. Nobody bought him so I took him back out the box when I heard he’d in the show and pulled the listing
