Premium Format The Mandalorian PF

Re: The Mandalorian and The Child

though i was excited to wake up to this news, i agree the pose of mando is not like him.

i don't know if they can still tweak the stance, but i hope they do.

That pose above certainly would have been preferable. A confident natural looking pose.

I also agree with Gipetto that is seems some details that really sell a poly statue as real fabric appear lacking from what i can tell. Iron Studios typically excels at these details, but they aren't always perfect either.

I also worry about the metallic paint of the beskar. Those details need a be a shade of chrome, not a dull silver.

Re: The Mandalorian and The Child

left arm is not optimal and mando looks too thin, but overall really good job.

Re: The Mandalorian and The Child

Hell yes we are ever happy! For instance, I point you in the direction of any of the SW Mythos statues, all of whom have poses which are both dynamic and graceful, even if the figure is just standing around brandishing weapons.

Also riddle me this: HOW in THE HELL is SSC going to ship this statue unbroken?! HOW - you just *KNOW* that cape is going to snap in half, even if the pram detaches [and I am sure it will]. Hell we could not even get Suicide Squad Harley shipped without her bangs snapping in half, and we got a whole cape here...? I foresee much wailing and gnashing of teeth, along with many destroy-for-credit vids posted on YouTube.

maybe the cape will be vinyl..? But then we'd have problems with drooping over time. Good luck on this one, SSC!

I think the cape will be easier to ship than the orginal Obi-Wan Mythos cape was. If it's like the Iron Studios Thor, it'll be a very hard vinyl that will hopefully hold up over time.

They're probably just cutting corners by using leftover Phasma paint

Is this fully sculpted?

It looks fully sculpted. I mean, baby yoda is attached to his cape.

 

[Darth Pakiti]

Fully sculpted. Was confirmed by his sculptor in FB yesterday.

So much for mixed media with Premium Formats. I thought that was part of what made it 'Premium' as opposed to just being a statue, which this now is.

Oh, and still the same price as what were formerly mixed media.

Is anyone ever happy about any product these days? I think it looks good. Thanks Sideshow for a new premium format figure !

For what they want to charge, it needs to be 100%

Re: The Mandalorian and The Child

When I first saw pics of this PF, I interpreted it as Mando reaching back to grab his rifle - which would justify the torso positioning. I was surprised to come on here and see people saying it was an overexaggerated runway strut.

I pretended to grab a rifle off my back and my torso does the exact same thing as this pose. I might be wrong, but I can totally reconcile this pose and it is pre-ordered!

I don't think he would grab his rifle by that end.

Now, the gun...

 

[Sassafras]

Much as I am a fanatic about show - no.

Don't care for pose or sculpt...will wait to see what Iron Studios may come up with. Also, Sideshow has managed to lose that ineffable thing
that makes Baby so cute. Maybe it's better in person. Mando looks like he is whistling a jaunty tune - just no.

So then the question becomes... of all the poses you could utilize to immortalize this character in Premium Format, why select the one where he is just beginning to reach for his rifle?

You like it. That's all that matters. Honestly, I don't think pre-sales will close on this one. There will be plenty to go around. No one needs to pre-order. I would highly recommend anyone to wait until you see pics of the final production piece.

Nobody ask for the beskar pram? Is a second season spoiler? Never see it in the first season and in the new trailer only the old one appears.

Between that and the limited angles shown so far, you've got me thinking maybe this'll be a season 1/2 type of Din statue. Perhaps they'll announce a swappable season 2 thigh armor and left knee pad later on?

LOL! I'm going to pose this alongside my tip-toeing Luke Bespin, Luke Jedi and scared Chewbacca Premium Formats... To be clear, I like all three of those PFs, but the posing wasn't the option I would've chosen

Man, you just made me remember one of my biggest SW merchandise disappointments ever. That tip toeing Luke PF was abysmal. Followed closely by the Commander Cody. How do you not immortalize Order 66 in a PF?
