Hot Toys - TMS032 - The Mandalorian - 1/6th scale Dark Trooper Collectible Figure

[Chainedstream]

I have an active PO for Woves (later batch) with TBA. Still no movement on that front either. shipment from factories are all over the place. Still waiting for my Grogu set though it has released way before a few other figures that i got invoiced for.

What’s annoying me is that both you and me are locked-up with an higher price tag than what’s currently offered. When final batch is released, price will probably be even lower.

You know what the cancelation fee is?

With KGH, i always went with the 20% deposit. They will keep it if you want to cancel. I know some pay full in advance (3% rebate) but i don't know how cancellation fees work in that situation. Inquired about cancellation for my Boba 2-pack last summer as it would have been cheaper to get it locally but failed in getting even store credits rom them.

With TBA, i can't really tell. Never cancelled with them. Negotiated once on the ROTJ Speederbike and scout as first batch stock was going for less than my later batch PO and they matched the price.

BOGO is back and Dark Trooper qualifies.

I got this in a trade with Darkseed a while back and finally got him in the photo booth. Really cool and impressive figure. I can’t wait to get some type of display made for this and the new Din to pose them together.

I should have a couple in hand by the end of th month as both KGH and DenDen have finally gotten their stock. Excited to see how those look in a display with Gideon.

Did not see untill now, sorry!

I see. Think I’ve used 3% option a hnadful of times, mostly 20% is my go-to. Kghobby is slow but reliable. Unless you have qc issues, hard to resolve those.

I’ll get in touch with TBA when final invoice arrives. Hopefully they match it, we’ll see. Thanks for informing me/us!

Lion Rock is one of KG Hobby's companies isn't it?

I've been eyeing the Dark Trooper on KGH for several weeks as they've been reducing the price on him.

With their Black Friday 10% code he worked out at $185 / £149 including shipping, so I went for it.

The Dark Trooper was one of the Star Wars figures I cancelled ages ago when I lost interest. He would've cost £220 if I'd kept that order. Even with losing the £10 deposit, KGH worked out £60 less.

Baron Karza will finally be mine. He's the only one that I ever had a slight regret for cancelling.

My Black Friday black droid arrived.

And, boy is he black!

He has a lot of presence and I love the engineering. Glad I got him in the end.

Now I have to work on posing him, but he doesn't feel very secure on the stand because the grabber can't actually grab his crotch.

These Dark Troopers look freaking amazing. I have the Mando Luke ex on flex and should be getting it next month. Comes with the battle damage trooper and I just know once I have that in hand I’m gonna want this one….

The Dark Trooper is a pretty menacing minion to have in the collection. Took me a while to decide but the recent Popcultcha Sale really pushed me off the fence. It really has a decent weight to it but I'll need to get my hands on some batteries to test the lights.

Overall it's an 8/10 for me only because it needs moveable fingers and a more effects perhaps.

It poses very well with other Mandalorian figures in the line!

The Purge Trooper helmet was originally a concept art design for the darktrooper, so obviously it looks great on the figure. Slightly loose fit but that is an easy fix

Sideshow are giving away a free Dark Trooper when you spend $250 on in stock items.

I've been wanting to get Bo-Katan, but after using the 25% Black Friday code on her I was $32.50 short of getting a free Dark Trooper, so I added a copy of the 'Star Wars: Collecting a Galaxy - The Art of Sideshow' book, which was $33 after deducting the 40% Black Friday code.

So Bo-Katan + Trooper + book + delivery (minus Spooktacular rewards) came to $264.94 (about $318 after VAT).


The alternative option for Bo-Katan was KG Hobby, which I could get down to $283 with the small rewards I've had sitting there for years.

So the Sideshow deal is effectively getting a Dark Trooper for $35, so I'll finally have a pair of them.

I finally caved on Hunter and Echo this morning and was pleasantly surprised at the free Dark Trooper. I only bought one originally but am happy to pair two with the original Gideon now... They are literally giving away these Mando era HT figures now!

Wow, that’s a really good deal on SS. I got the MKV suit up Tony and this for $281 shipped (using $12 in rewards).
