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

[subzro]

It is apparent that Hot Toys has been finding that magical number of figure production whereas they either sell out during the pre-order time-frame or shortly after release. I have a feeling this one will get scarce once shipping starts and be difficult to find at reasonable pricing. Just about every other figure in the "The Mandalorian" series has proven to be the case.

I've already got my pre-order in but for those of you on the fence, I would suggest you pre-order it and if later on, you don't want it, you'll be able to recuperate your funds.

I'm going to order but i'm in no rush with it being a mid 2022 release.

I think that head sculpt looks great, based on Hoody's posted video. Too bad this figure is so far off from release.

 

[D'oh!]

What he said! Looks great indeed.

I hope it will look even better by the time the mid 2022's come along.

It really is ridiculous, when you think about it. I remember when a year off was a lifetime. Now a year and a half is the new normal. (I really hate that phrase, by the way...)

I remember having figures in hand 6 to 8 months after they went up for order lol.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I remember just buying things at TRU and having them instantly.

I had to get used to the whole Pre Order thing, and hated the several months long wait in the early 2000s...

Now I pay 4x as much and wait nearly 4x as long.



*Yoda stamps his cane* Patience!

What makes it worse is hot toys finding the time to re issue figures when they can't release these items in a decent time.

I was listening to a podcast recently (shout out to Sixth Scale Scavengers) and someone put it like, a 2 year wait is 1/40th of your life, if you even get to live that long.

After that episode I expect the darktroopers will definitely be made.

I don't know if I'd pick any up based on that appearance. Was that all of them?

Good point. You would figure that a re-issue would be done to fill in a gap in the production line but we've got a slew of pre-orders queued up for release in 2022! That's

I never of it that way...

Agreed. Dark Troopers were a total non-event and don't even look good or interesting.

I love the Dark Troopers now...

There is no way I wouldn't get 1 dark trooper.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I just need one... with a mean punch.
