So the two triangular fins plug into the bottom of either bicep into a thin slot. You should be able to find a smooth plank-like section on either fin. On one of them it has a notch in the middle which matches with one of his biceps (you might need to use a light to check which bicep slot has the corresponding shape) and then the one without the notch goes into the other arm. You can see how they sit under his arms in my picture of the figure chained to the base.

For taking off his forearms the first thing I advise is to make sure that you're getting a hold of it up at the area right below the elbow because of how it's articulated at that spot. Right beneath the swivel-hinge peg that you want to pull out there's an angled swivel cut and you want to be holding onto that angled swivel or else you might pull that part off instead. The peg that you're pulling out is also a decent length so I lightly turned it while pulling, almost like unscrewing a light-bulb.

To get the collar piece on his neck you don't actually have to take his head off, it opens up at the front where the chain connects to it (you can see the hinge-pin on the other side). When opening it though the chain will probably slip off of the peg but you can just pick it up and slide it back on before closing the collar again. For his wrist shackles first you want to check that you're using the right forearm pieces, make sure you've got the ones without the fins on the wrist area and then pop off his hands and slide the shackles over his wrists then put his hands back on. I did notice that the padlocks on mine for the arm chains were a bit stuck in place but I think it might just be the tightness of the fit for those locks compared to the space afforded the neck one.

Thank you very much for answering all my questions! I think they should have put an explanation sheet about the fins.
I did find the notches but I might leave them off, do you think anyone would miss them? It's been a while since I saw the movie. But they look as if they hinder articulation.

Found the newest Black Series wave at Gamestop, the only one missing was Wedge but I have faith that he'll probably be one of the easier figures to find once the wave is more widely available. I did pick up Cara Dune though because I think she has a cool and pretty unique look, that and I'm getting hyped for the show. She's got this ass-kickin' combat-ready armor look that really stands out compared to the other female figures in the line. Speaking of her armor the sculpting work here is pretty damn nice and features a lot of small texture patterns very comparable to the MCU Ghost from the Marvel Legends 80th anniversary line. Articulation here is all the current standards so it's good and reliable. Paint apps are all pretty clean and the face printing on this figure even lets you see her little rebel insignia tattoo on her left cheek (just barely but still pretty cool in my book). Her accessories include a small knife which does store into a thin slot at the top of her left boot, a small pistol which holsters pretty well, and a really cool big heavy-rifle that looks like it was built around a Bren MG (in true Star Wars fashion). Overall I actually think this is a better built and more impressive figure than the Mandalorian himself but that's okay because they also look good together on the shelf.

BAF Fat Thor out of package. The gauntlet that came with the Iron Man was meant to fit the BAF Hulk from the first wave. They actually made a new sculpt with a weaker and thinner Stormbreaker than the one that came with Teen Groot. Strange.

Got the black series Mandalorian in today from Amazon to replace the defective one I got from Gamestop so now I can actually have complete thoughts on the figure. I do think that maybe the helmet should be a little more silver than it is (just going off of the promotional images I've seen) but otherwise the paint apps are pretty good looking. None of the joints on mine are loose or too tight which is nice, however getting him to hold things in his right hand is a bit of a pain because that is a rather tight fit. His accessories are both cool on their own in terms of sculpt and clean paint, and I dig that they're an obvious nod to Boba Fett's animated debut in the crappy holiday special. So overall it's a good solid entry in the line.

I bought this back in May but kept it for today. November 9th, 30 years anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Do you know these wooden animals where you push a button and they flop down? Similar concept. Best Berlin souvenir ever!

My Grey Hulk came in from Hasbro Pulse.

I find myself in a Star Wars sort of mood, and gave a Sith Robe to Betty White from the Golden Girls. Rose is now... DARTH THORN. /cackling
