1/6 Hot Toys - TMS015 - The Mandalorian: Din Djarin + The Child set ( DELUXE VERSION)

[endor1]

An odd choice for an option..but I like the detail

Funny the promo pics don't seem to show the scope is detachable. Glad it is though! Would be cool if there was a tight grip hand too. V3 maybe?

The hands are my only minor complaint. Since the rest of the deluxe Mando sets are vacationing on a boat somewhere, I only have the OG Mando, but the hands are so toy like and plasticky looking. Might be an odd complaint since it's a figure after all, but it looks so lifelike apart from the hands.

It?s amazing how just a simple modd adding more torso pivot makes a gunslinger pose phenomenal

In case people were wondering.I got mine from a retailer that got their stock recently from SS directly. So I guess they are shipping in batches

Going for the old western look

I agree with this. In the show there is weathering on his gloves (the fingertips are blackened etc). They look like literal work gloves that get used every day. The 1/6th version looks too clean.

I do see that to an extent with the Mando releases. It appears they went for a more bulky gloved look, as Din has those two layered style gloves. It's that chunky tan leather inner gloves, and then the outer black cutoff gloves. Furthermore, when the hands aren't holding something, they can look even more unnatural. I try to change out the hands according to the pose, and turn the wrist to obscure the open grip a bit when the hands are empty which helps.

It's nice that HT did add a seventh right hand for the vibroblade in the Deluxe/ Reg Mando Sets. The hand looks to be a slightly closed grip of the trigger finger hand...

I think both Mando figures could benefit from an additional pair of hands? Perhaps a fully at rest, relaxed pair of hands like the ones included with recent Boba Fett Delux/40th. It's a very natural hand at rest pose, or can even be used in the gunfighter stance down at his right side...

D.R.37 shared a fantastic hand modification he did for the OG and Beskar Mando, it looks great! The relaxed/Tusken fluent hands, as he referred to it, check them out...

The left hand on Mando looks very natural here, impressive...

After seeing D.R.37's excellent examples, I think modding is the way to go at this point, something I def want to try.

How did he do that mod tho?? That looks so good and also strangely in-character.

 

[guyver1]

My view on his gloves is they are obviously shore trooper gloves. So they don’t have to be extremely detailed or uniquely styled since the mystique of a shore trooper is they are generic troopers used for the empire during the OT era. If you look closely on the show..his fingers look very simple and thick and bulky on his hands.

So with that said..I think HT made the glove style as best as they can given the source..however a bit more weathering would have been a plus.

Finally got my invoice from ToysBuyingAgent, and jeez, if I knew this was gonna cost $45 to ship I would have just ordered from one of the US stores.

Yeah same, sucks. I hope by the time anything else I've ordered from him ships they clear that issue up.

I heard the contraption to hold the Beskar was an olden ice cream maker

you must be new to SW, it was a nice throwback to ESB.

 

[Asta]

In ESB it really was his ice cream maker (never leave home without it!)

For The Mandalorian they made some adjustments.

I pretty much am, I haven't seen any of the films or series yet


They're on my to-watch list, lol

Go watch them then?

Original Trilogy first at least.

Then the Prequels. Then The Clone Wars if you plan on watching that. I usually tell people to start at Season 3 Episode 18 (The Citadel) and watch the earlier seasons later if you really like the show as they're a bit slow.

Or you can skip both and just watch The Mandalorian after the OT if you're short on time.

Or, do the machete cut if you like mixing things up

 

[MyenShi]

To each their own, but I'm strongly against the machete cut, especially for a first time viewer. The Original Trilogy should be watched together. I feel like that cut ignores the huge disparity in quality from just a film perspective between ESB and TPM.

I don't hate the prequels but I can't personally imagine being a first time viewer and going from ESB's emotional ending right into trade negotiations, Jar Jar Binks, 9 minutes of pod racing, the stilted romantic dialogue in AOTC, ROTS, and then finally getting to ROTJ 7 hours later.

That would be so jarring.

 

[user 58482]

I still haven't watched the original trilogy. I've of course seen clips of it, and I know about plot points via pop culture, but they're honestly something I'm not interested in ever watching. Same goes with the Clone Wars & Rebels cartoons. I just can't be bothered.

I had Phantom Menace on VHS when I was a kid and watched it so many times I destroyed it lol. Then I saw the other two prequel movies in theatres exactly one time each and never looked at them again. I enjoyed Force Awakens and Rogue One AND Last Jedi *dodges tomatoes* but never watched Rise of Skywalker.

The Mandalorian is my favourite so far.

Looking at the Original Trilogy not just as pop culture or Star Wars as we know it now, the films should be watched just on the basis of their importance to cinematic history and how much they affected film making, storytelling, the industry, and their overall cultural and social impact.

That said, they are so fundamental to Star Wars that it seems really odd to not be interested in fully watching them but be invested in other parts of Star Wars. Not judging. Just feels like learning the history of a country without learning the geography.

Well spoken MyenShi
