Hot Toys - TMS051/2 - Mandalorian and Grogu (Season 2)

[LipSmack]

Finally snagged a loose helmet and left shoulder from this guy, also grabbed a set of hands to upgrade my OG007 Mando

 

[Ramatuelle]

Yeah, 25% and $5 ship might change my mind. Right now I am still unreasonably ticked and have not actually pulled the trigger.

 

[DarkChocobi]

he's kinda slim, the original one is quite..thick, which limits the pose-ability.

 

[Ramatuelle]

DAMN IT I just bought Bo Katan. The spooky30 code finally worked and I did it. That was like $85 off, and I doubt a better deal will be along.

I decided Mando needed his woman, just like Fett does.

I saw this and I was helpless. Perhaps I can keep going and end up owning all these figures DAMN IT

Don't feel bad, I'll go look too.
My Mando shelf is male-heavy and also that blue costume will liven the display - besides, I like Bo-Katan, all
the way back to Rebels.

Be careful with her elbows. Try to feel where the articulation point is before moving it. The pin is very thin akin to a wrist peg. So needs to be re-engineered. Some have replaced her arms at least but the body is very “thick” so there’s not much on the market for a swap.

 

[Sassafras]

Still thinking. She's beautiful and a great deal, but I think there may be another version - decisions, decisions.
On the other hand, there's never a guarantee a new set will be "better".

On the other hand, I have all the Mandos and IMO they are all great. That's why I am buying him a Dewback $$$$ just because it will look cool.

 

[Ramatuelle]

Ah, but any new version will be north of $300, most likely.

Not holding my breath though, I think HT is winding down on the Mando stuff.

 

[pixletwin]

Today I just received the display bust by Apollo Toys for the Mando figure. I love it. Hopefully they continue making more for SW figs.

 

[Alsharad]

Anyone tried replacing the body with Phicen M33?

I recently have seen an image of someone's Mando but with Art15custom Beskar Armor set and damn the figure looks ten times better with that set. I like HT figure enough but with that upgrade he just looks like he jump off the screen. The issue though is I contacted art15 and he isn't making any at the moment but hopefully when he does he'll let me know and I can get a set for my figure. Photo from instagram to show the HT vs Art15 set.

Anyone have any idea how to get the traps to look more pronounced compared to the stock version?

You have your figure stock or with the art15 set? I imagine padding the area under the vest.

as far as I know he wont be amking anymore. The process is tedious and not worth it for him, he made 2 final sets, one for me and one for my buddy (the OP of the pic you shared).

Though my experience with Art has been far worse than my friends. He neglected to sand my helmet correctly so there's still print lines, but refused to offer any solution and said its normal but my friend and a couple other people I contacted said theirs didn't have it, so ill have to get it sanded and repainted, leading to at least another $100 worth of work at least for me.

Damn that sucks to hear bud. Well that's disappointing as I was hoping to get that set, I should have gotten it when he had it available a year ago but it's whatever now. Going to have to stick with my HT stock parts then. It's sad to hear he got tired of it but he still is doing some custom bits not to mention lightsabers which seem far more complicated to make.

I’m getting the figure from sideshow this week. Didn’t know if there were specific mods people had been doing to this figure.

There aren't a lot. Aside from removing the weathering on the Beskar Armor so the chrome pops more. Some removed the padded undersuit to get the fit to be more loose. I only removed the weathering on my figure and I bought some boots that where repainted by a friend and I touched them up a bit also. I also removed the wires from the cape.

 

[Raleig.h]

I removed just the shoulder padding so the shoulder plates would sit better, I also soaked the suit to get my preferred brown look to the suit (still looks grey in some lighting which seems to be just how the show is)

Does anyone know how I could replace the magnet that helps secure the rifle to the back of Mando's belt? Was trying to readjust the rifle and the magnet came off the belt, never to be seen again.

You could just try to buy a mini magnet ,either in a hobby shop or online,and glue it on. I’m sure there are tiny ones available
