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

Apparently you can now get this with 35% off with code amazingdeal, also works on Fett two pack, clone wars Ahsoka and mando deluxe (non chrome).

They added 1/4 grogu and IG-11. This code is good until December! Save it!

Well I went for it. That's "MCU Civil War prices, that is. Mentally I use CW as sort of a marker coz after that - well, for me, more or less that's when I noticed HT prices *in general* start to climb. You used to be able to get a great fig around 200-220$.

I just didn't want to spend ~300$ for another fig I'll probably display helmeted. Maybe. IMO it's a great sculpt and Jedha Patrol's review IMO really showed off she's pretty detailed and loaded. He makes a good point about her being Rebels and CW as well. Anyway, she's on a payment plan - great deal.

I just bit the bullet on this. 35% off plus 81.55 in rewards points

Sideshow is also being weird with this amazing deal coupon. Like for instance they sent an email advertising this big deal of captain marvel being 30% off but secretly you can add this one instead i think for an extra 5% off

 

[dantes2501]

35% off was too good to pass. Did anyone try to swap to a Worldbox body?

With 2 little mod needed to make it compatible.

What bodies did you discard? Rey’s body is rare and costly, unfortunately.

S17B Phicen
With this you have to modify it little more then Rey body.

Do you notice a difference in proportions? Or is it just an improvement in poseability?

Slight height difference but that could be fix if you tape up the head peg

 

[Ramatuelle]

Why fight with a Phicen-style body that you have to fight to get clothing on, due to sticky silicone? WORLDBOX PPL

Ruminations on Bo-Katan:

You know, it has been remarked before that the SW universe is a remarkably unsexy place. And as I unboxed Bo, it became clearer why that is so. Its so because everyone, male or female, warrior, civvie, townie, WHOEVER has on EIGHTY LAYERS OF CLOTHING. Then they have armor on top of that.

If they're civilian they have on more layers of robes than a seventeenth-century Japanese courtesan.

It would take thirty minutes for Bo to get out of her kit. At least. Same for Mando or Boba. Clones have it easy! They have on ONE bodycon and armor over that. Hell, in this universe they're practically naked. Same for Stormies.

This is a really nice figure. I cannot IMAGINE how hot this outfit was to wear onset, my contract would specify one of those industrial-size round floor-fans to be blowing on me at all times. I feel like I should keep Bo in the fridge.

Congrats Ramatuelle! In the fridge?!

Turned out to be a nice deal, yeah? Quite a solid and heavy figure for her size. So many detailed layers and stitching. Nice figure despite the single jointedness.

The sculpt looks better in person. Goes to show you how much lens distortion a lot the pics we've seen online have. Pairs great with Clone War characters.

 

[Ramatuelle]

Yes the fridge, I feel too hot just looking at those layers and layers of flightsuit.

[she's not actually in the fridge, lol]

Well, apart from slave Leia. Or Twi'lek dancers. Or pokies Padme.

So very true, not so masculine as it looked in photos.

Just received her, kudos to SS for getting the package to Italy in just over two days.

Yeah, the body is unacceptable. it's not just the single joints. It's that they are ratcheted and stiff as hell, and the legs suffer from the notorious "negative bend" in the legs' lower sections, which adds to the stompiness of the figure.

I've ordered a Worldbod AT203 with D cups. We'll see how that fits in a month or so... time to receive it from China.

 

[endor1]

Ha, that's only a day longer than I waited, wow! She's nice to have for a good deal.

I agree, beyond the single joints, the body is a let down, and very much below HT's normal standards looking at past releases. The joints also have that loose jiggle between the ratchets. And I do miss the cut biceps, thighs, and articulated neck post for striking more subtle poses. Oh well.

Look forward to seeing your bod swap, and congrats dantes2501!

Lol! Yeah, it's always climate dependent, these wouldn't be as practical on Hoth. Frozen Tontons and all.

You come from a warm planet, Ani... a little too warm for my tastes, space is cold.

On the other hand tho - the actress who played Psylocke commented her sexy sexy rubber costume made her sweat and smelled bad. Margot Robie said her little Harley shorts made her feel uncomfortable. At least in SW u don't have to worry about wardrobe malfunctions.

I just need to get Bo paid off along with Kuiil and finally finish my S1/2 shelf. She was a great deal with everything you get.

I always wonder why people in American tv shows wear so many layers. I’ve decided it must be how prevalent AC is in the US. People indoors would be freezing otherwise. I’m guessing this is the same thing. A freezing cold shooting stage and multiple layers.

 

[dantes2501]

Any idea on how to detach the hairpiece without ruining it?
