Hot Toys - The Mandalorian (Beskar Armor) and Child

TK_842 · Nov 24, 2020

Checked the last few pages and could't find a thread for that specific version. Now it's finally out in HK, i thought it would be great to have a proper place to post a few shots of that exciting release.

As they’re starting to show up and seeing reviews, it looks really nice. Was thinking about either this one or waiting for the next one with the speeder bike. Don’t really need another bike and if the only difference between the Mandos is a more battered cape and thigh plate, I’m probably gonna pick this one up instead. Plus I like the pram. And I don’t wanna wait a year or so for the other one. And I’m sure there will be plenty of custom thigh plates out there to add or switch out if you wanted.

Having this one POed, i'm not too excited by the prospect of a season 2 version. IMO, current armor evolution of the Mando does not warrant an update from the V.2 releasing now. Might change my mind if there is substantial mods in the second half of the season.

It's all getting a bit too much captain phasma for me, I prefer the beaten up look of the first version.

Hell_Hawk_33 · Nov 26, 2020

I have the deluxe version POed. Really looking forward to it.

Deluxe version IN HAND review

TheClient · Dec 1, 2020

I cannot wait. I have this on PO flexpay, thinking about paying it off now to get it earlier.

I just started collecting Hot Toys recently and thank the maker I have enough other collectibles I don't want to list on eBay to feed my new habit.

This is the way!

After seeing Chapter 15, it now makes sense why the Deluxe version comes with a hologram Mando...

I'm really getting back to my old feelings about Star Wars because of this show; it has renewed my faith after the travesty of the sequel trilogy.

My thoughts exactly! My fandom has been reinvigorated, to the detriment of my bank account!

It's a hologram of just the armor that The Armorer pulls up at the forge in Chapter 3 right before forging his full Beskar suit (Season 1 Episode 3 The Sin 12:38). Different from the hologram of him in Chapter 15.

I would love it if HT would add a helmetless Din Djarin portrait to the deluxe edition. If it's too late to package with that, I'd happily buy the Din head as a separate accessory.

Got a billing notice for the 15th they are really pumping these out

Seize9 · Jan 15, 2021

Got the notice and looks like it shipped today....sweet, been looking forward to this set!

Yes email from Sideshow...should be here next week.

Nice! I have the deluxe Beskar Mando and the Solo Maul pre-ordered with a Canadian e-retailer I've never used before. I actually emailed last week to see if they have an ETA for Maul since other Canadian sellers are shipping it, but no response so I'm not to impressed about that.

darthgordon · Jan 17, 2021

Mine is on the way just don't know when since UPS hasn't updated

Seize9 · Jan 17, 2021

Looks like Friday for me...can't get here soon enough!

Billy_Ray · Jan 21, 2021

Still no shipping notice here...can't wait for this one!

TK_842 · Jan 21, 2021

Nothing either from my HK etailer. Still a month before Chinese New Year. Mando can make it.

Seize9 · Jan 22, 2021

Made it here today and my goodness I'm hyped opening this thing ...looks amazing!

Hell_Hawk_33 · Jan 23, 2021

We need more photos @Seize9

Oooh my goodness. I need mine here like yesterday.

This looks absolutely fantastic, nice job capturing a truly epic look! Can I ask where you picked up the beskar bricks?

Thanks

The Beskar bricks are from KR Sabers here in the UK. They are raw aluminum - haven't gotten round to applying some aluminum black yet to finish them off.

I'm very happy with this one from HT. There are so many little details and accessories - more than I think I've had with any sixth scale that I can remember. There are so many options for display that it won't get stale in the display case unless I run out of inspiration

Seize9 · Jan 26, 2021

Had to time open and mess around with it today...posing possibilities seem endless, well worth the wait to me.

TheClient · Jan 26, 2021

I love that middle picture. It looks like Mando is excitedly jetting off after handing Grogu over to Luke, like he's the Genie from Aladdin after getting his freedom.

"I am OOOUTTA HEEEEEERE!"

LordZeppelin · Jan 27, 2021

I've been eyeballing this set for a couple of months, and I think I'm going to pull the trigger. I had been holding off starting to collect another scale...I picked up an older Lords of the Sith Vader, and every time I look at it I feel like I'd rather have that than the 3 black series Vaders sitting on the shelf next to it...I might be hooked.

Tell me about it. I started with a Boba Fett PO back in Autumn as a fancy treat for myself, but I just.....kept on going. It just sort of happened.

Just got my notice from Sideshow they have their next stock shipment coming in on Monday; mine will finally ship then!!

Billy_Ray · Feb 8, 2021

My card was charged and status changed to "preparing to ship"

Billy_Ray · Feb 8, 2021

And shipped!

Hell_Hawk_33 · Feb 9, 2021

You guys are lucky! I sure hope the place I bought mine from in Canada gets their allotment soon.

I spoke too soon, they printed my shipping label and sent me the tracking number. Hasn't physically shipped yet per UPS. Maybe today!

Yeah, after checking UPS, that's where I am at too.

MEANS · Feb 9, 2021

Mine shipped and should be here Thursday.

TK_842 · Feb 9, 2021

KG Hobby sent tracking but still shows as "Sender is preparing item for posting". Unfortunately with chinese new year celebration starting today for a week, it will likely stay with them until the 18th.
