Hot Toys - TMS051/2 - Mandalorian and Grogu (Season 2)

[chrisstbh]

Would anyone spend money if HT did another similar Mando just with the bd leg

Get scissors and stick a piece of crispy bacon under his pants

 

[Rbeato]

I found it funny the armorer in season 1 makes Mando the whistling birds weapon, then in this episode with the spear “beskar can’t be used for weapons, melt it down!!!!”

maybe the spear poses the bigger threat to pierce armour?

It'll be interesting to see just how much longer he wants to remain loyal to this religious sect, given the only two members left just kicked him out and one kinda hates his guts now. Lol

I hope he still keeps it on the majority of the time. That way the few times he takes it are really meaningful as they were in seasons 1 and 2.

Fett and the Niteowls just lose a lot of that mystique by constantly removing theirs.

I'm guessing because it was made not by Mandos but someone else. She probably sees it as an affront. But she is kind of hypocritical too.

Well this episode showed him trying to go back to his old life and it wasn't really working out for him, so I think he'll eventually ditch "the way" to some extent.

do you guys think the accessories are worth the extra $45?

 

[matticus]

do you guys think the accessories are worth the extra $45?

Only if you get the bike. But some might like the extra accessories. They just seem to work on the bike IMO.

 

[BACON!]

I initially chose to get this, my 2nd Mando, because of the armor finish and head sculpt, but the accessories are a big incentive too. But yeah, I am getting the swoop bike too

 

[Sassafras]

do you guys think the accessories are worth the extra $45?

I do; considering the resell cost of a lot of parts; but for me more importantly, I like my displays to tell a bit of story.

So it's not just the parts themselves; for me it's the cost of sourcing something similar AND the cost of the labor of trying to do a custom later. IMO it's really a question of how you plan to display this figure and/or resell value.

I never buy a figure planning to resell; so that for me doesn't count. I wouldn't spend the extra if I never planned to display that way.

Yeah, I'm looking hard at the swoop bike; for me it's a luxury$$$$; but I've got other Mandos to put in fighting positions, and this would make for an awesome display.

 

[Mondragon]

A couple of small details to note for posing and arranging his gear

He tucks the tracking fob into where the bandoleer meets the belt on the right.
And more importantly since it's a new detail, he hangs the Darksaber (no surprise) on the left, right behind those three thermal detonators, and a few cartridges. Pretty far back it's somewhat hard to pick up.
While most will likley display saber in hand, don't know if they had the foresight to add a loop and hook where it goes.
Let me know if these images don't open, not allot of great shots for it.

Removing Fob

Reaches back for saber

Where he keeps Saber, hard to see the hook.

Probably the best shot showing how far back it hangs (zoom in),

The hilt ring ...

If someone has better shots, higher res. and closeups please share.

 

[Mondragon]

Also a shot of that "new" mini-gun. As far as I know we haven't seen it in his arsenal.

Brightened up

which is apparently a re-purposed WWII 45 caliber liberator pistol.

 

[Sktchwlkr]

ooo good eye. Yeah is that his "noisy cricket"?

 

[CapnDaniel]

But does he repair his pants, or switch to a new pair?

 

[ebor]

The Mando w/briefcase with weapons (Dark sabre etc) will be a release...MMW!

He is the new HT Iron Man...this is the way!

 

[Sktchwlkr]

This must be explored in S03. We have the Armorer, now who’s the Tailor?

 

[CapnDaniel]

Clothes maketh the Mando.

Same, while I hope this stops him pining for those 2 I can’t imagine him being free with taking his helmet off - in fact I’d bet if he does it will be with Grogu and Grogu alone.

Bo-Katan has appeared without her helmet since her introduction so it’s nothing new for her as no Mando in Clone Wars or Rebels has been shy about showing their face and it was a big topic until the explained the whole “children of the Watch” thing.
