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

[choombaz]

Yeah, that happens when you make a lot of pre-orders at once... and you're memory starts to go because you're getting old
I also had to double check if I ordered the Shore Trooper Squad Leader or Shore Trooper... it was the Squad Leader.

I’m same and did the exact same thing the other week. I also got excited because I had ordered the Armorised Deadpool and had completely forgotten about it.

It’s all over Facebook that this is releasing next week. Surely not, that’d be a year earlier than the planned release.

I'd love it to be true. Link, source?
I'm still new, what was the pre-order to release turnover timeline of their latest figure?
Also this was for the most part a pre-existing sculpt and tailoring , with just a shiney new paint ap ( similar to Death Watch mostly repainted parts), this just has the new Djarin head-sculpt.
Could that have put it on fast track?

Not sure where the original rumour came from, hopefully not Man of Hot Collectibles haha. Jedha seems to confirm it. Well, at least I think that’s what he’s confirming. Anyway, people in the sixth scale FB groups seem to be excited about it.

Weirdly it’s the only one I haven’t pre-ordered because I thought I had plenty of time. If he’s coming out this early then I’d suggest there’a maybe another version (probably the BOBF version) coming in the next few months.

LOL, how much could he have changed into BoBF? Anything to justify a new figure I guess?
Along with the Crest, he lost his rifle and it's telescope, so could he have added a Fett style rotating viewfinder to his helmet? Or added a new Krayt Dragon signet on his other pauldron?
Actually he really should do that, as it was probably his biggest kill, though I'd be pissed if that was a new figure

I imagine any more significant new changes, new paint scheme, armor or gear updates would come from Season 3, and the Quest for Mandalor.
If he joins one of the clans, or inspires and makes his own clan, he might get a new paint theme, cape style or weapons.
Don't know if he's even being primed for it, if the Mandalor(d) is "crowned" with a specific garb, or helmet? Although he currently has the Darksaber, I can see him inspiring, and leading the Clans to unite against a common foe, but I don't see him "officially" ever wanting or taking that position.

Again I'm new, so these references don't mean much to me, Any links to discussion, first source?

Sure it wasn't the 1/4 Mando that released today?

In the same boat, was going to pre-order sometime next year, will be a bit bummed if this guy comes out before Ahsoka, Maul and Sarlacc Boba, but its looking that way.

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

They should be shipping that Swoop Bike soon then too I would imagine, the two go together after all. Guess I know what I'm burning my remaining end of year points on.

Did anyone NOT notice it has 2 L's in the name? Fake account. Even looked at the profile on FB too.

Lol I missed that "small" detail when I casually glanced at it. Order has been restored.

 

[jye4ever]

I can confirm it was released already the figure is awesome!

For real? Will the real Jedha Patrol please stand up, please stand up.

I was ready to consider the early release as a hoax, but I just got an email from Toys Wonderland announcing the 1/4 Mando release but further down it was advertising S2 Mando 1/6 saying “shipping soon”.

Fascinating.

 

[user 67922]

 

[HPGR_Thrawn]

Toys Wonderland's latest email says this is shipping soon, but they also said that about Ahsoka a few weeks ago, didn't they?

That they did. However, we are in the expected release window for Ahsoka so it wasn’t a total surprise. It’s speculated that they are waiting for simultaneous release with Sideshow and it’s been delayed at the ports.

With Mando, even if it does not release in the next week it still suggests we will see a VERY early release, since it was originally scheduled for a whole year from now. Even moreso if they do not wait for a simultaneous US/HK availability with this one.

 

[matticus]

I messaged Jedha about this. We'll see if he replies to this thread or in my messages.

Yeah I think it'd be cool if he also adopted the krayt dragon emblem! Would make sense too since he was the one that directly (successfully) killed it.
