I still have yet to see if it's possible to seat him properly on the bike; everyone's got him leaning back like a dad on his zero turn riding lawn mower, and maybe that's all the articulation allows for.

In the show his butt is farther back on the seat, legs less bent, arms straighter and shoulders farther forward than his hips. Hunched forward, not backward.

Man that headsculpt is just not good. Can’t believe I though it looked good on the prototype.

Feel like we're looking at different sculpts as I think it looks really good. Always interesting to see what different folks perceive from a likeness.

He’s just saying something negative so we know it’s actually him and not a hacker.

I’m debating on whether or not to get the deluxe. The extra accessories are cool, but idk if I’d ever display him that way.

I got the regular version, and I find that I don't miss any of the deluxe items.

Hopping in the Mandowagon here. Got my deluxe set yesterday and immediately got to tinkering. I had picked up some extra v2 parts cheap on Toy Anxiety and swapped out his apron for the v2 version, which has less goofy weathering, and swapped the wired cape for the v2 drape cape, which sits nicer at rest. These are removable velcro applied parts, so easy enough to switch back later. Plus, it required I take apart most of the upper suit and redress him, which allowed me to tweak the fit and position of things a bit.

Also use Oaty's Cape Cod cloth method to polish the armor up. Didn't remove all the weathering, just dialed it down.

**Side note, that spear carrier accessory is useless. The spear just slides right out of it.

Justa waiting for my shipping notice ...

Looks too young and soft, facial hair looks like crap, just doesn't hit the mark imo. HT sculpts haven't been doing it for me as of late.

You need to see it with your eyes…trust me it is unmistakable Pedro in hand or at least him as Dinn unmasked

Go take a look in the Dark Toys Axel Foley thread for a real EGAD reaction to a head sculpt.

If you mean you have an earlier Mando cape coming, then yes it will. It's just velcroed onto the suit. So you can easily swap them.

I think he meant Cape Cod Cloth.

Oh haha. I guess I read that too fast.

LOL! I am a dad, I have a ride-on lawnmower, and yes that's all my articulation allows for!

I should have invested in Cape Cod Cloths before all this, or at least got a sponsorship deal. Stupid OATY.

I think it looks really good too. Which is a relief, with all 3 versions so far I need at least one unmasked.

Damn he's just so photogenic with this new armor

that sculpted hair looks bad, but the face looks good. But yeah idk what it is but the hot toys heads havent been seeming as impressive as i thought they were when i was a younger lad. Of the recent ones probably the best looking one i can think of is the one of Yelena from black widow.

 

[FlyAndFight]

The sculpt is definitely recognizable but I'm thinking that the B or C team was used here.
