There are people mentioning that they had their order paid off for this so it's most likely releasing soon.

They going all out this week



I think I would have preferred a no weathered version

 

[Tee-Kay]

Non weathered will be a summer exclusive. Hot Toys like their event exclusives shiny when it comes to Star Wars

Hmmmm. Not sure about that weathering. His armour definitely does have some weathering on the show, but on that figure, it really looks caked on in places.
They did the same thing with Jango. His armour does have some weathering in the film, but HT put it on way too thick on the figure. I posted some pics in the Jango thread to show how much weathering his armour actually had in the film.
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe Mando's armour is actually as heavily weathered in places as the figure and I'm misremembering.
I'll find some shots from the show.

EDIT
Attached some pics. There is definitely weathering there. Heavier in some shots than others. I guess it's lighting etc on the show, or his armour has gotten dirty I some scenes, like the Tattooine scenes.
HT has put weathering on his helmet that I don't think was there in the show, looks clean in all these shots.
Overall, yes there should be weathering, it was fairly heavy in certain spots in certain shots, but personally I think HT was too heavy handed with the weathering. Again.

The flight suit still being inaccurate is so annoying.

Got a feeling the weathering won't look as bad in-hand- but that's quite a bit more weathering than perhaps should be there. Will give it quite a gritty look though I guess.

We're gonna have 3 versions of mando in stock at the same time. They're going to have to start giving away the 1.0 beskar.

 

[Mondragon]

How? How can I do what is needed, when all I feel is... hate.
You hide it, with this...

Display will be all about that helmet and saber (wish it glowed)), yet that Pascal sculpt came out nice.

In the end this is yet another re-imagined Zorro figure for me. (now in a space-knight-western)

Proof that all that extra gear only serves to block that beautiful chrome finish.

Why would anyone block all that beautiful chrome finish with hobo bags lol

 

[SpiderBat]

Yeah, it looks like they went overboard with the weathering. The Pedro Pascal headsculpt seems to have turned out great, though.

Overall still looking forward to it. I passed on the v1 Beskar armor figure and any newer one won't be out for years.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Happy with the end result. This will be my first Mando purchase so looking forward to it.

I just watched the video and I'm pretty sure they modified the fatsuit! Now it's much more posable =)

Looks great in this video. I’ll be curious to see if this version of the character can sit any more naturally on the swoop bike than the previous Beskar release.

 

[Sktchwlkr]

Yeah that weathering does stand out a bit more but then again, it seems consistent with the reveal photos. It may just be the result of hi def cameras and really bright lighting making details like white and dark spots sharper than they actually are.

 

[sj2106]

Very happy with how this turned out. Think I'll go for the regular, has everything I need.
