1/6 The Mandalorian - 1/6th scale The Mandalorian Collectible Figure

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

Given HT's recent track record on delivery, we've got over a year to see which Mando armor set best captures the character. I think this red-white-and-blue armor will be quickly forgotten.

Some will want to move on for sure but if the show continues being almost universally loved loads of folks are going to want Mando's entire evolution.

Yes, there is an Iron Man element to the whole "upgrade" aspect to the show. Its a great gimmick. They can use the excuse of "visualizing his character's evolution" but we all know its really in hopes of selling more toys and things.

But hey, as a collector I am all for that.


Right now, I'd like a Beskar armored Mando with light-up 'whistling birds' and hover-cradle "Asset".

I see that as a huge win. I walked into TLJ not giving a **** about the lead characters, and walked out excited to see more from them. That is an effective sequel.

Out of curiosity, when the credits rolled for Episode 8, how did each of them grow as characters compared to how they were when Episode 7 ended?

And let's compare that to how the Mando is/was after Chapter 1 alone just to keep it within topic.

No way that happens. With this guy being Iron Man for Star Wars now and this first armor being basically marketed like IM's Mark III, every version will have its fans and I really don't expect any iteration to stay around in stock for too long, just like IM figures.

The question should be, what will version 2 of each release improve?

 

[Wor-Gar]

No way that happens.

Well not by you, look at your sig and avatar.

But for me, I've already moved on to the newest armor. I'm terrible.

Curious to see how he'll paint this new armor to disguise himself.

Nothing wrong with either of our stance but I think this is one time I'm ok being in the majority. I've waiting my whole life for this

Mannnnnnnn

Watching the third episode!
Mando looking like Robocop with all the Beskar armour. And I love Robocop.

So I?m in for the full Beskar version.

More or less the ways I described in my original post. I'll keep it simple by focusing on Kylo Ren as he has the clearest sign posts in his character arc.

Kylo Ren in episode 7 is pretty simple. He's angry at his family for reasons that aren't clear to us, he appears very loyal to Snoke, who seems to his only strong relationship since he cut ties with his family, and he struggles with adhering the Snoke's doctrine (which we see when the decision to kill his father is difficult for him).

Thats pretty much everything meaningful about Kylo Ren in TFA.

TLJ has to do some heavy lifting to further reveal his character to us, so we learn that Kylo Ren was betrayed by Luke (from his point of view). This leads us to understand where all of his anger has come from and why he would have been motivated to turn to Snoke. This is pretty foundational: Kylo turned to Snoke because he felt Luke and the doctrine Luke represented had betrayed him.

In TLJ, in contrast to TFA, we can see that Kylo's relationship with Snoke is starting to fray. Kylo is frustrated with Snoke. At the same time, he's building a relationship with Rey. This guy is pretty desperate for human connection at this point and the only even remotely positive relationship he has is with Rey. Snoke makes matters worse by gloating about how he manipulated Ren throughout this ordeal and that Ren is merely his slave.

So now Ren feels betrayed by another mentor representing another doctrine. He decides to hell with all of them; he's going to kill Snoke, and he offers Rey a place at his side. He's now seen both sides, he rejects them all, but he has definitely internalized that lesson from Snoke about cutting the ties to the past, and his interpretation of that is to smash the old ways and build his own future.

That's a huge difference from the loyal servant we saw in TFA.

With regards to Mando, I think it's too soon to tell. In its first two episodes, the show is still revealing the character to the audience, so its early to speak about actual growth to the character. I expect that will remain true for most of the first season, given that they've structured it as a slow burn so far. We'll probably learn a little more every episode about who he is before we start looking too closely at his arc.

Agreed, same here! I can't get enough of Mandalorian. It's a nice refresher from the movies.

Sadly, after Episode #3, I think I'm gonna be really, really poor and want all versions, plus accessories and 3rd party dioramas.

The need to finish the series, and re-show as a single film in IMAX.

Space Lone Wolf and Cub has me more excited for new and fresh Star Wars figures since Rogue One. And with current prices and exchange rates it's a bad time to be excited for figures.

I have to admit I prefer his non-besker look. I think it has more character. But I know I'll end up getting the Besker version as well.

 

[Mike86]

Well, I guess I’ll be getting two Mandalorian figures now. . I love the show though so I don’t mind too badly. I kinda like the original armor. Like the more worn look and the colors are cool. The Beskar armor is cool too though.

 

[heon123]

I love the Beskar armour but I prefer the his old armour. It'll come down to accessories.

 

[Mandible]

How many pre-orders have been cancelled now?

 

[Bgnyc007]

I don?t mind picking up both armors lol. Mandelorian smh aka HT Ironman....

 

[Futurion]

He looks far better and more unique with his old armor. All silver is too generic and too much jango-like for my taste.

I just finished watching Ep.3 and said the same thing... Look's like I'm getting 2 Mando's. I agree that his original armor is much more distinct but the chrome beskar armor looks great too. If they don't add more accessories to the original figure, i'm assuming this one is gonna come with the yodaling and some beskar bricks, or at least i'm hoping.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I thought that I was wrapping up my 1/6 Star Wars figure collection.

I was wrong.

 

[DarkChocobi]

Moff Gideon (Meth Krennic/Gustavo Fring BB) and his Death Troopers definitely going to make a debut in next espisode.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

I’ll probably get at least two Mando figures also. They’ll look cool as a set to see the different stages of armor.

 

[GMan022]

I'm ready for the Beskar armor version PO. Episode 3 was the best so far.
