Got the deluxe yesterday from Sideshow. In my eyes, the new armor surface treatment is miles better than the previous attempts. I don't see the weathering so much as the overall heightened contrast in the armor, especially around any surface changes or textures. I had seen photos of the headsculpt and I was concerned, but this thing looks usual HT grade. I like his semi-sombre expression. Accessories are great (spear is HUGE).
All that said, i am glad I have 2 Mandos now. One goes with the Swoop, and the other in a diorama later to be determined
