1/6 Hot Toys - TMS 029 - The Mandalorian: Moff Gideon Collectible Figure

Re: Hot Toys - TMS - The Mandalorian: Moff Gideon Collectible Figure

Yeah I found Grievous pretty cringeworthy at the time, but like everything else with the prequels I may be tempted to buy anyway once I see how cool the HT figure looks. Since it does have the potential to look pretty badass on display...

My thoughts exactly!

The character was written pretty badly but having him on display, holding "four" lit lightsabers would be just too freakin' cool.

Really? I didn't know that! What, was Lucas trying to save $ by using whatever costumes were already available on the lot?

I believe that's more or less exactly what happened. They were behind schedule/over budget or something. Been a long time since I read about it.

Rick Baker did some of the pick up shots for the cantina aliens and talked about how they just used whatever they had laying around, I think the devil guy was one of them.

That's an interesting premise, unfortunately maybe only achievable DIY with cathode ray sabers.

I was always disappointed that regular Anakin only had one light up saber.

Multiple saber wielding looks fantastic.

It is such a shame HT will take the cheap route (except in their pricing.)

Haha Gideon finally has his own catchphrase. Just as a sidenote those Imperial Officers were two of the best and most realistic I?ve seen in a long long time.

So better than any in Rogue One? Other than that I don't think we've seen any since ROTJ. Were there any in Solo? I don't think the recruitment officer he talked to when he enlisted counts lol...

It was a kind way of saying they?re better than of the **** they served up in the sequel trilogy. Now we can argue about Imperial vs. First Order, but lets not.

I only just finished Breaking Bad for the first time just before s2 of Mando. Moff Gideon is literally Gus Fring with an imperial outfit and darksaber

OK, gotcha. I obviously was excluding the First Order but I agree, let's not go there.

I'm waiting for a meeting between him and other imperials where he brings in a bucket of chicken to munch on while discussing world domination.

Given that chickens are actually canon in Star Wars, it's not too much of a stretch to say that fried chicken probably exists in Star Wars too.

Solo. Hmm. Officers are starred mainly in a cut scene where he is attending court-martial. It's a good scene which explains a lot, I'll never understand why they decided to leave it on the floor. (https://youtu.be/2TvzXPhzr4U)

Yes. Is that a bad thing tho?

It does.

Tip-Yip is a subspecies of chicken (and a call back to Ewoks and Caravan of Courage).

Fried Tip-Yip is on the menu at Galaxy’s Edge (which I ate), making it canonical through the park itself and a few books (cookbook, guide book, etc.).

I liked Titus Welliver, he's a 1/6 collector, I wonder if he's hoping for a figure lol

Hot Toys is proud to present the 1/6 collectable figure of Unidentified Imperial Officer™ from the hit series The Mandalorian™

Would Sideshow still produce 1/6 Star Wars figures, a Titus Welliver Imperial Officer would have been more likely. This being said, i am all for new imperial officers from Hot Toys even though chances are low with very few efforts for human HS lately.
