It really is night and day and I even replaced my previous Mando with a more seamless Phicen body and the new Mando V3 looks more proportionate now, so HT does listen IMO

I compare mine to HT and I don’t think I did a bad job with the season 2 parts

Anyone having slight issues with cape? The wire across the cape keeps popping out on mine so I have glued the material to it properly so it doesn't come off. I wonder why HT couldn't have just included both capes they are easy to remove apart from the stitch on the collar.
 
Which Phicen did you use? They both look great.
m31 is the best imo, i used that for my durasteel. m33 is too bulk and the suit wont zip up either.

by chance has anyone considered dying the tms051/52 clothes to get closer colors? with previous releases, you were able to wash the dye off but with this one, it seems unlikely you'll be able to do the same thing. i have attempted to wash this guy a few times but with no luck of dye coming out hoping its a brown suit underneath

Ok so have one all opened up and kitted out the way I want, really wish the darksaber had a loop for belt storage might relocate the detonator one. As for the dirt apps, I think I prefer what hot toys has done, I have little desire for anything cleaner, only thing I really don't like is that the right thigh piece is chromed too, really could have saved the effort and it would have looked better, If anyone has a spare though piece from upgrading the season 1 fig I'd love a second one.

Love the new hands and body proportions, might just be the tailoring but the flight suit looks way better, just wish the color was more brown, so happy with their release, can't wait to see what they try and pull for season 3
 
Got the figure in and finally set up the swoop bike to go with it. Pretty badass when all is said and done. I knew the first Beskar iteration wasn't for me the moment I took it out of the box so held on to the durasteel Mando until shortly before this was released.

Weathering could have been a bit more subtle. I'll probably leave it but great to know the Cape Cod cloth method is getting great results.

So as to more experimenting I like to do…I noticed the previous version’s suit is slightly browner than this new V3..so I decided to swap suits..not bad …especially with the new chrome IMO
Thought it looked more brown too. Good contrast with the chrome.
