Nabbed the Mandalorian and Second Sister on Force Friday at retail 'cause no one thought to loot Barnes & Noble, thankfully. Awesome figures, especially the Mandalorian (they even included butterfly joints). Can't wait for that show.
Mandalorian also showcases that we seriously need a ROTJ Boba Fett with this improved articulation. The Empire Boba has aged well, but not amazingly well. It could use an update. Also grabbed a FO Stromtrooper just so I could swap it out with the trooper that came with that Amazon-exclusive Heavy Gunner set. I was tired of not being able to get him into the shooting positions I wanted and at the very least, the new FO Stromtrooper finally fixed the shitty elbows, so...

Man, my Mandalorian is such a floppy mess. Almost every single joint on him is loose, not sure it's just mine or what but D Amazing's figure also looked pretty bad in terms of looseness.

On another note, this has seriously been the easiest wave of Black Series that I have found in the wild in a LONG time. Not sure whether to view that as a generalized fatigue of Star Wars, or an just how weak of a lineup this wave actually is, or improvements in distribution, which Black Series has suffered from a while now. The only figure I have yet to see is the FO Jet Trooper, which was a Walmart exclusive, so no surprises there. |

It's not just you. My Mandalorian had KO levels of floppy...most noticeably in the hips, ab crunch and head. I thought mine might be an isolated incident, but going off of many YouTube reviewers and a personal friend of mine having gone exact same issue with his standard figure (his carbonized one seemed fine) ...I think this is a bit more of a common QC issue.

The only figure I have yet to see is the FO Jet Trooper, which was a Walmart exclusive, so no surprises there. I did notice it moved a bit smoother at each articulation point, less pressure to get things done. Which I actually like, so it's less of a chore to pose these guys. But I guess it's more of a mistake than purposeful now. Maybe as they came out of the mold over and over it got slowly less tight. My pal's Mando didn't have this issue either. |

That's pretty cool, I thought it was the size of a shoe box until I saw all that was inside there!

Nice try Disney, but you still won't get me to watch tRoS,especially after your announcement to partner up with China for new content...

That Galaxy of Adventures Darth Vader is so cute, and well articulated too!

Amazing photos Tony !! Love the shots!
So does this mean that Vader is back in RotS? Maybe they are going to introduce time travel to SW in this movie |

Just to be clear - the Vader was NOT inside the TROS promo box. I grabbed him locally before the box arrived. Just included shots of him in here because I had some random shots done already and nowhere to put them. Didn't plan on doing full galleries for the Galaxy figs.
