Hot Toys - 1/6 The Mandalorian Cobb Vanth

[chrisstbh]

Wow, $300 for a basic figure. Eliminate the sand base and make a new one and overcharge everyone. Insane price! This looks great, but I’m so glad I’m not interested in Cobb. I didn’t watch deadwood, so I never understood the fuss about the character. He did nothing for me in Star Wars. Glad another one is out of the prototype graveyard and enjoy an actual new sculpt for those buying. $300 smh…

Yet Obi-Wan is a DX, and a flagship legacy character, but he's only $295?

 

[Deinonychus]

I probably won't pay even the HK price for this figure, if 300 USD over there is a guide. Elephant is a good actor but the character Vanth wasn't that interesting to me. The face doesn't look quite right, reminds me of the crap new shellfish allergy version Obi Wan sculpt for some reason.

 

[Tee-Kay]

It would have been nice to get a few shots with the chest armor off. Wondering if the shirt underneath is detailed enough to get the armor less display option.

 

[slynger]

I don't think the pictures show anything, but this armor vest looks just as removeable as the other Fett type armor and (to me) there's no reason they wouldn't have a full shirt on underneath it. I think his look from BoBF will me very doable.

 

[Chopper Face]

Looks great, but is just it me or does it look like his head is slightly undersized in some shots ? Like this one for example ?

You may be onto something.

Obviously that’s far from a precise science and the photos are all from differing angles but I think he could benefit from a slightly larger noggin.

The man also has an absolutely minuscule waist and closer to a swimmer’s physique.
I think for the true Olyphant proportions, we’d need to swap to the slimmest worldbox body, maybe with some slight ankle extenders.

$300 is mental and at the U.K. current exchange rate, that’s basically £300 before shipping and customs. Glad I won’t be having any part of that.
HK all the way, baybay!

It's almost like in that middle shot the head was (badly) photoshopped in...

 

[darth dennis]

It's not a horrible sculpt but the texture on the face is more rugged than it should be.

It seems to capture the age of TO pretty well. I don't see anything too rugged about it. It'll look ridiculous on the shelf!

Looks like it’s another long neck peg. Luckily, it kind works for him with his helmet on.

But who want's this guy with helmet on ?

Definitely don't want to leave that headsculpt in the box. I've got enough Boba Fett's on display.

 

[Hologram AI]

Yeah I would think you would display this guy with the sculpt. That Boba helmet is better left on for Boba himself. Having him leaning on something with that drink in one hand and the helmet on his hip is the way to go.

 

[davejames]

Definitely a must have figure, although at this point I could do without yet another set of Boba armor in the collection, and would rather just get a barebones version without it.

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Will the armour be removable?

Will the armour be removable?

TBD

 

[Mike86]

Expensive but a memorable character and I want him for my Mando shelf. The figure and sculpt looks good to me. The new display base is cool too.

Also like I mentioned before- I like getting this look for Boba Fett’s armor but on a character who wore it in this state longer than one fight scene.

I’m not in a hurry to pre-order but will likely get him eventually.

 

[chrisstbh]

Will the armour be removable?

Well it’ll be removable sure, but will there be the necessary detail underneath to allow it to be displayed like that?

 

[hen88]

I'm so happy they finally released this figure. I think he looks great. The stand is really cool too, but it looks like it'll take up more shelf space than the regular stands. Also - I have faith that the armor is removeable and that he'll end up looking good without it.

 

[Spanbauer]

Well it’ll be removable sure, but will there be the necessary detail underneath to allow it to be displayed like that?

Also the possibility that with the armor removed, his neck will look so long that it doesn’t really work.

 

[Spanbauer]

Just saw some people on FB said this is a horrible sculpt and it looked like Chris Pine instead......Wasn't expecting the good laugh but I'll take it I guess View attachment 600417View attachment 600418

Pffft, come on. The only other actor people can legitimately argue this looks like is Josh Duhamel.

 

[Darkseed]

Like many, it looks great. its hard to say this screams $300+. If i’m paying that price, it needs to feel jistified. New base and headsculpt doesnt do it for me….

 

[Bo Shrek]

I have no interest in Disney+ figure however if $300 is the new benchmark for regular figures it will be very hard to justify purchasing HT figures in the future. Is there any OT/PT characters worth paying $300 for anymore? People have been asking for Bespin Han for years. Bespin Han is even more bare bones than this Cobb Vanth. Will Bespin Han be worth $300 . For me the answer is no. I really need to think hard to see if there is any SW OT/PT character worth $300 so far I can think of none. It’ too bad as I don’t mind picking up a figure every now and then.
