Hot Toys - TMS035 - Bo-Katan Kryze (The Mandalorian Season 2)

[Bacara]

Abs armor is completely wrong. Chest armor could have been better. I've written about them to HT. So, they know about the inaccuracies.



What's wrong with the ab armour?

I take it no one has seen a shipping notification yet from SS? Wondering if this one is a so-called "simultaneous" release or if we're in for the usual 8-12 week wait

We will see about Bo, I dunno. One thing I do think is that season 3 of Mandalorian has been delayed toooooooooooooooo long and thats kinda dangerous for a few reasons. i am also very annoyed about the fact that TBB as been delayed like three times already. "Like that, do you? Good. We gonna make you wait five years." I have been known to cut my losses when companies get arrogant like that.

If there’s anything that the sequel trilogy and more specifically, Game of Thrones, has taught me recently - it’s that I’m much more willing to wait for something to be done right. The wait does suck, but I’d prefer care go into the stuff I enjoy watching, instead of it being rushed out the door just to move onto the next project, or there not being enough in the budget so it’s rushed along.

Although with all of Chapek’s cuts looming I fear the quality on many Disney properties may begin to diminish, so we may as well enjoy what we have while we can.

I know a lot of people just kind of lost excitement for this one and that's 100% understandable, but I'm excited now that we know she's just around the corner.

Jesse shouldn't have a long delay, simple paint on an existing sculpt. Vaughn is about a 98% recycled clone, so he should be even faster. Hopefully things start amping up a bit. I know it may not go that way, but in my head it does.

I keep waking up each morning hoping Vaughn's blogger pics were released. He is a straight repaint of Cody, there is no reason why he shouldn't be out.

Haven't seen anything here or on Reddit, so assuming SS didn't get a batch yet.

It just released in Asia..I’m figuring since it’s not a redone figure like Blurg Mando..I would see next month for SS could be more with the holidays

Wish I knew this too. ToysBuyingAgent has it ready to ship and the final price works out to be the same as Sideshow's after tax/shipping, but that doesn't account for Sideshow reward points I'd like to use (and the reward/coupons given in return).

Was hoping the sculpt would improve a bit but still happy to get it.

At least they took the orange pouches down to brown where they belong.

I didn't really have that big a problem with the prototype, but I think the production sculpt looks better and more like Katee Sackoff. So I'm happy. I hope there's not too much of a delay at Sideshow.

Good catch! What do you think about the final sculpt/paintwork?

 

[davejames]

Eh face still looks way too long to me, but at least the usual softening of the sculpt seems to have helped a little. Fortunately I was planning to display mostly with the helmet on anyway, so it's something I can live with.

Still excited to have my first female Mandalorian figure.

Typical HT release. Tailoring looks great, portrait softened in production (but no changes from proto). The only significant change appears to be the hair. The sculpt seems a little altered from the proto and it's way too dark, nary a hint of red in it. As always, judgment is reserved until we see some of the usual reviews come in and more importantly, in-hand shots start to appear.

The blogger shots are looking more like gussied-up product promo shots than actual in-hand pictures...not helpful this round.

Sixth Scale KaWu offers a good, quick look.

Just remembered I have her pre-ordered with KG Hobby. Probably won't get her before the new year but that's fine. Sculpt looks better for sure.

@Bacara
It's much narrower than the chest armor. The angular corners are somewhat in line with those of chest armor in real life. In the figure, the outermost borders of abs armor is nearly in line with the angular edge of chest armor. It can be the other way around, the chest armor might be wider than it should be.

Also this.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

**** it!!
Will order tonight after work!!!

 

[Spanbauer]

They always go too dark with what should be light hair (thinking of you, Carol Danvers), and I don't understand why the elbows can't go past 90°. Otherwise...pretty happy with this.

 

[chrisstbh]

The way Sideshow try to describe these figure is always so pretentious

 

[Hologram AI]

Confirmation that this is the same body as the Armorer so all the joints have a max bend of 90 degrees since Hot Toys thinks single jointed bodies is the way to go.
