Sideshow says charging 8/8, shipping within the next 10 business days.

I hope there's an actual gripping hand, versus the tool just sort of floating in the open palm.

This is the Mando-style Dewback, right? Pre-SE fur, but SE-influenced legs. I like it. It's a good blend of nostalgia and newness.

Only if the line can sustain them. There has to be a reason we're not getting much new tooling any longer.

I'm fine with that! I'm happy to get IG-12 and all those accessories. I'd be even happier if he came with Paz's shield bracer too, and this one was a straight rerelease.

I'm so maddened by him just having the one new part.

I think they honestly just don't have the budget. The line seems to be on its last legs, and at this point I'll take easy retools over nothing at all.

I honestly take it as a combo of "Jango and/or Boba kept spare pieces around" and the "squint and pretend it's the same thing" theory. As it is, Boba also seems to have magically found a second kneepad after one didn't come out of the sarlacc, plus the magic extra dart tube that can come and go...

I've been puzzled that it both has the patch and seems to be a completely new jetpack by the details. Not sure if the idea is that he extensively rebuilt it, or if we're supposed to squint and imagine it always looked like this now.

Mine arrived from Sideshow a couple of weeks ago.

In-universe, the name seems like it was just made up by Greef. Maybe the real" IG-units are only IG-11, IG-22, IG-33, etc. Who knows!

There's a pretty decent full-sized Babu Frik in Droid Depot at Galaxy's Edge. The Bo-Katan shield looks to be (permanently?) attached to an included replacement gauntlet, so no chance it'll be able to connect to the original Heavy Mando.

Deluxe just went to waitlist.

I think it's meant to be the grime and oil stains that collected around the edge of the bolt while it was attached.

I finally opened the deluxe yesterday. Pretty spectacular...but is there a trick to getting his jetpack's ring on and off that tiny plastic clip for lugging-across-Tatooine mode? Just putting it on bent and whitened the straight part of the clip, and I'm pretty leery about trying to take it off...
