Looks like I need 3 of those neck posts. 1 for Mando and 2 for my remnant troopers. Looks good
New hands, neck mod, fat suit removed and replaced with sleeveless padded top-groin, with thinner thigh padding(cut as individual pieces).
Got my Mando delivered this morning from Brian's toys. This figure is amazing!! So glad their Black Friday deal made me pull the trigger or I would've missed out on what is now one of my favorite figures!!
He was delivered at 6:30am from the post office!!?!? Glad for some reason I woke up at about 7am and saw my notification it was delivered. As it was raining and it was just left at my front door and was only shipped in the original shipper. Was just starting to get wet from raindrops dropping off my door overhang!! First catastrophe averted.. Then a few hours later I sat down to open him and his right knee spikey armor bit fell off as I removed him. Thought it was broken. But after inspection luckily it was just shoddy glue from the factory. HT and their wonderful QC (one of the reasons I prefer to buy direct from SS)... Second catastrophe averted... Was very difficult getting the spikes in the display stand. Was afraid I was gonna break them. And then I was nervous about attaching his rifle to the clip on his chest after watching Justin's review video, but it was pretty easy and not overly tight.
Is fate trying to tell me maybe I wasn't meant to have this???
SO glad I decided not to hold out for a full Beskar (will probably still get him too). His 1st armor is such a unique look and will most likely never be offered again, but I'm sure we'll have several Beskar looks..

I used a neck post from one of those KO bodies found on ebay. Toy Anxiety or Monkey Depot might sell something similar.
I had to swap out the ball joints though as the stock joint is the only one that fits the helmet socket...
Did those of you ordering from Brian's Toys receive shipping notifications or did it just show up?
I did receive a shipping notification along with the carrier and tracking information.

Anyone have a problem with the long rifle clip into the shoulder strap? Mine broke coming out, the little pin. Sent a request to Sideshow for a replacement rifle or figure. Hopefully I get one or the other. Usually don't trouble with stuff like that.

Looks Great, McHaleyArt!
This image from the Art of The Mandalorian shows some of the influences for the armour.

I wiggled it from side to side but I guess not light enough was kinda hard to get in the clip at first.Did you just try pulling it out or did you gently wiggle it out? If you just yank it out then it'll break.
I can't wait to get this book. I'm not a big reader but I do love the art books and visual dictionaries.
Nice, did you make the new hands?
