Creepy! Maybe that's what happened to Jimmy Hoffa.

This is a piece i never thought in a million years i would pick up.
Today that all changed. Having watched the TV series, and thought it was the best thing Disney has put out Star Wars wise (sure there were a number of moments i found iffy). Since watching The Madalorian, i found that i liked the character so much more than Boba Fett, which is something i never thought i would say.

Using a 15% off code + $16.50 in SSC rewards, i managed to save a whopping $111.75
The plan is to pair the Mandalorian with Ahsoka Tano, which is another character i never thought i would collect.

I really want to avoid going down the 1/4 Star Wars rabbit hole. It would be financial suicide

'This is the way..'
That phase is up there with 'May the Force be with you..'

I traded my iron studios mando in for this one and am very happy as well. Overall this is better than the IS in every way (including pose). This coming from someone who initially had a major hang up with it. It looks better in person but I think while not necessarily accurate they were trying to give him the gunslinger look by having him reach for one of his guns - at least seeing it in person I really think that’s what they were going for. But the overall fit and finish, proportions and like I said even pose make this the best 1/4 mando on the market. HT is ok but it has some issues as well and then you have to struggle finding a pose and I don’t like either base it comes with personally

I have seen photo's of the IS piece, and thought it looked quite good.

I hope they do a Mando PF in his original brown armor. I like the contrast between the brown and silver.

That is weird I thought the IS one was far better than Sideshow one. I have the Sideshow one who is way better in person than in pictures, and I am trying to get the IS one. You traded it ? I am amazed but since you have been it in hands for a year plus you should have right.
