The Mandalorian - Death Trooper Figure by Hot Toys

Glad they're doing a reissue of sorts! I was kind of hoping they'd do a nice bundle and give all the guns/pauldron etc, but this should be good enough.

Cheap cash grab on their part, and an easy pass for me since I already got the original. I wish they'd put the money into producing some of the human characters in the show like Cara Dune or Moff Gideon, or Nick Nolte's ugnaught character.

Yup.

That, or, you know, one of the dozens of prototypes they show off and never release.

I can see it as a cash grab, but tons of people wanted them after they revealed Director Krennic (like me). So I don't mind this one at all.

Ugh, yes! Still anxiously waiting for that Padme figure to go up for preorder as well as the Bespin Han teased in the promo shots of Bespin Leia long ago. These both would be such great sellers if they'd simply put them up for preorder already!

This figure (or anyone without a headsculpt) is A LOT easier for them to make during times when their manpower is down. Everything is molded and probably machine painted except maybe the weathering on the gun. Having a human headsculpt takes forever for them to produce and tons of workers.

Or, you know, any version of Lando Calrissian. As a Star Wars fan I'm sure you've heard of that character.

I only ask because HT clearly hasn't.

Sees One:12 Mr. Freeze: Overpriced by $20? Screw this.

Sees HT Death Trooper: Well this is a lazy repack that is definitely overpriced (see for yourself) and has less accessories than before but because I missed out the first time it's okay, I'm all for it.

Great logic.

Great logic comparing apples to oranges. 1/12 figures should be fucking loaded if they're $120. I don't think the Death Trooper is overpriced, it's $235, they didn't jack it to $250 or anything.

Well Sideshow is doing a Skiff Lando that looks decent given their standards, but yes we are long overdue for a Hot Toys Bespin Lando since the original Sideshow one is very dated now. I keep hoping for a General Lando/Nien Numb 2-pack someday too.
