Depends on what you want/willing to wait for. The weathering on this seems thick if you'd rather have a shiny Mando. But you'll also likely never see the Beskar spear as an accessory again.

And who knows what he'll look like in S3, as I doubt they're gonna make a BOBF version.. My guess is, once he goes to Mandalore he'll probably at some point have a new painted armor look over the current raw metal.

I'm torn too. I skipped the previous waiting for this shiny, but unsure like many due to the excessive weathering. But we may not get another Mando in this look.
To be honest, I don't know really. How does his on-screen armour clean up over season 2? Without rewatching it I can't remember. It was shiny again in BOBF.

I wonder how hard it will be to just get the sculpt. I don’t necessarily feel a strong need to get this version of Mando since I have the other Beskar version.

Also have the Dark Saber from Moff Gideon already so if I want Mando to have it I can just give it to him.
 
I feel like the chrome came out too shiny so they went heavy on the weathering to dull it down.

I wonder if the weathering could be buffed off with a cape cod cloth.
 
Wow…this is seriously incredible. is it really that easy to remove?
I too would like to know what they used.

I've removed weathering and battle damage from figures before using magic erasers or mild amounts of isopropyl alcohol before, but the chrome plating makes me curious what would be the safest approach.

I asked them on instagram as well as someone else. Hopefully they respond. If it’s really that easy then I may have to play the reverse card.
