1/6 Hot Toys - The Mandalorian: Transport Trooper Collectible Figure

Tee-Kay said:

Today is a great day. I finally received my transport trooper held by customs for a week and i was also able to unpack a set of 4 custom bases purchased from @Cocoboloboy (love your work sir )
So happy with those bases. They add so much to the displays and they greatly enhance the enjoyment of my collection. Here are a few shots of my Transport trooper on his own and working along other imperial troops

His stands are great! That looks awesome.

Nice looking "large" base. I hadn't seen that one before. Good work, Coco!

Just got a "charging soon" email from Sideshow

Same. As in "charged already today".

Indeed - soon turned out to be about an hour

Nice that this is moving. I ordered two from Timewalker so I imagine I'll be waiting awhile.

Lol. Email said charging soon, make any payment changes by 5/30, which was yesterday, then sent the charge through today.

Forgot I even ordered but I got the 3.75" Mayfeld from Target today. Still bums me out that this didn't come with the option to get the sculpts. The HT Mandalorian line is a great one but it will always feel incomplete without Cara Dune, Greef, Cobb, and Miggs.

There will never be another new Star Wars show/movie with a cast as fun and cool as the first two Mandalorian seasons.

Couldn't agree more.

Couldn't resist.

Went ahead and ordered this.

Agreed. The demand would be a bit limited but it’d be nice if someone offered a Mayfeld sculpt for this figure. His Season 1 appearance would not too difficult to kitbash, too.

It’s kind of annoying that it’s hard to get all of the characters together in the same scale based on what Hot Toys, Hasbro, LEGO, and Sideshow is doing.

It looks like Toy Story trying to get everyone together.

I got mine yesterday from my first and last order from Toys Wonderland. I bought 2. They are very well detailed with a decent amount of weathering. I have a feeling getting a Pedro head on this figure may be a bit of a challenge. Really cool looking though

Got mine from toys wonderland also. Opened yesterday along with the shore trooper. Decent figures.

Yes, it's just composed of re-used parts from other figures. Yes, it has no basis in creativity on the Mando set other than "Hey, these are hanging in wardrobe from that earlier project and won't add anything to the budget" like so many series have done in the past.

But dang it if I don't just love this figure!



It just looks so friggin' cool! More shots later.

And here's some more shots...



The 'big" character release are indeed a lot of fun, but for me, I always end up back to the troopers.



Seems like there is someone on the HT team who loves putting in the extra effort on them with cut-n-sew, with deco & detailing....



...and I for one always appreciate it!



Outdoors in natural light or featured in some great displays that get shown in here, nothing quite turns the head like a good, well-rendered trooper.



Thanks HT!

A simple but great figure. Gotta find either an artist or a good tutorial to repaint that right arm bracer/guard for a Migs Mayfeld project.

He took the slow boat from China via a UK seller but he's finally due to be delivered today.

Also a figure to finally display with the lonely Mudtrooper.

Another pre-order crossed off the list.

Another barebones and fairly dull arrival compared to the WWII figures that are taking over my 1/6 interest. I'm finding it hard to get excited over any Star Wars nowadays.

They go from box to shelf, look nice, but don't hold a lot of meaning.

You could spice them up with some WWII gear, etc. It’d probably be fun and they’d fit in with your current interest.

It's an idea, but I think I'll keep them as intended. I'm letting my Star Wars pre-orders wind down as I look forward more now to whatever gets revealed for WWII, historical or lesser franchises.

Star Wars never ends, and there's always going to be something new, so if I pre-order more it'll likely be from the OT. I've been wanting to draw a line in the sand for years, but temptation kept preventing me.

I'm in the same boat, as well.
