1/6 Hot Toys - TMS 010 - The Mandalorian: Heavy Infantry Mandalorian aka Paz Vizla

[Hoody999]

Same here. If the colors were different, I might have been tempted even after seeing these initial pictures. On FB it looked like there were 73 total pictures but they all seemed to be variants of the same 6-8 poses. From my perspective, it looks like the arms move ok, the ENORMOUS helmet can tilt a bit and turn side to side about 30? in each direction but those tree stumps they call legs seem pretty limited.

I don?t and won?t have the figure in hand so I?m just going off what I?m seeing on those pictures. Actually, in some of the pictures, it looks like they?re able to get some decent stances out of those legs, it was just the ones in mid air that looked a tad stiff. One thing that I definitely have yet to see is any movement in the waist/torso area. It seems like they are getting all their ?turns? by the arms, helmet & legs position.

I am hopeful that it does turn out to be a good and well liked figure because I want Bo-Katan, Boba the Fett, Mortar Stormtroopers, Cara Dune, Ahsoka Dawson, Female Stormtroopers (Boobtroopers?), I?d love to get som aliens like Weequay, Quarren, Mon Calamari, Twi?lek, etc. I?m not under the impression that they would just make random aliens so we will need some popular characters in those roles (perhaps Captain Hondo Ohnaka could come back)!

For me he doesn't need to be in any sort of super poses. He's a heavy, and doesn't need to be agile and flexible. He ain't no Spidey !!

He has that kick ass gatling gun and can just stand there and look bad-ass as far as I'm concerned. Same applies for any larger figures, Hulk, Thanos. All pretty much the same.

Size is what brings him attention in the collection to me. That gun on his back is almost as big as Mando !

For when the Armorer ? She would be a cool figure

I had hopes she'd make an S2 appearance, but her getting a figure is less and less likely I think. They've got a lot of S2 characters to do.

Thanks for posting Parzival !

"Looks like a knife".....

I challenge anyone to count how many times he says "nice". I lost count !

edit : I jest, but I'm so glad he does these videos. It's great getting a good close look at the figure when it is directly released !

Bummed that they haven't done her yet. I'm guessing they won't bother with her at all since she didn't appear in S2.

We will have to settle for Bo katan

Nice but another figure that you will find in the very back of your detolf shoulder to shoulder a year from now once the excitement of having in hand wears out in about a week!!

 

[Hoody999]

Just watching that video. The weathering looks excellent on this guy !!

Seems its possible to use pretty much everything he comes with in one massive flight pose. I'm sure he'll stand fine without base as well.

I think the Armorer was made in 6" by both Bandai and Hasbro. I guess HT didn't think it will sell. If they decide to wait on the other characters from S2 for their own show, Armorer might still have a chance to be released?

I'd bet alot of money that she will be back in season 3. I fully expect that the plot will center around Mandalore and it's factions.

Geez man, Happy New Year positiveness to you too !

You could say that about pretty much any figure.....

Yep I'd say so too. She's such an easy figure for HT to make as well. I'm sure they've been tipped off by Disney to wait off a bit on her. Now especially until S3.

I would bet a proto already exists.

Nah this not just a cool Mandalorian figure, it also is an homage to the great Jon Favreau and his very important contribution to the Star Wars franchise.

And based on that review video it looks like HT has done a terrific job with this figure. It really looks well done, nice to see HT back in the win column!

 

[davejames]

I wasn't really feeling this design before, but seeing him up close in that review with all the nice weathering and holding the big ass gun, he does look pretty damn cool. Still not an important enough character for me to want to buy and have take up valuable space though.

Yes, this is pretty cool for freaks like us who know that sort of detail. I also mentioned way back that I'd love a Trapper Wolfe X-Wing pilot figure for homage to Dave Filoni.

Of course we'll never get it, but it would be great to have.

 

[loki2371]

Figure looks great, but not something I need. Happy they made him though for those interested. Nice to see more than just the main characters and Troops.

Would/will look great with all the other Mando armored figures (Mando, Boba & Jango Fett, Deathwatch figure...). Glad for the fans that would love to have a Mandalorian warriors shelf. Looking forward to some awesome group photos in the future.

Thanks for posting the link...I credited the video...he's always one of the first out of the gate with a really good look at the figure.

It looks outstanding. Big bulky suit with limited articulation but plenty of intense detailing for a great shelf presence, Looking forward to it!

Hasbro has already produced two different sizes of the Armorer. I'd bet she's in the HT cue somewhere...if not at a prototype stage, at least in development.



And yes indeed, it's a very safe bet we see her return to the story at some point. A great warrior, good in a fight, keeper of the faith and those spikes on her helmet must tie into something. She probably runs across Din again when he's got that helmet off and he'll have to make some tough choices...should be cool!

I think she'd sell just fine. Heck, this Heavy Infantry Mandalorian had less screen time but was interesting enough visually to warrant a cool looking figure.

lol no, Disney is not tipping off hot toys on who should be in their line.
