Technically, I think it is only the Beskar armor version people love considering how big a part of the show upgrading his armor was. I don't want to speak for everyone but I'm all about the armor.

The scarcity of the first Black Series figure even after the show's release is evidence that people just want the character plain and simple. Now the Beskar version will probably have even more demand but I'm just saying interest stretches beyond how shiny Mando is. Personally I prefer the more lived-in look.

Anyone bothered by the large seam line breaking up mando's helmet? I can't seem to ignore it. It reminds me of figuart's end game iron man. The same seam looks less obvious on black series too. Boba fett has the seam running horizontally to hide it better though, and mafex seems to have managed to hide it entirely with the front faceplate.
