So apparently Hasbro officially sells Black Series figures through my local Amazon website. I skipped out on them for a long, long time because they were only available for scalper prices around here, but since I got them for retail price I decided to check out a few. Starting with some Mandalorians since they actually had the new guy and the re-release of Boba Fett.

Gotta say - I vastly prefer Boba. Much nicer figure all around, and very impressive for its price class. Yeah the gimmicky-looking tissue he has for a cape is kind of laughable but once posed in the right angle it looks quite nice actually.

But the paintjob is impressive, lots and lots of tiny details painted and not too many screw-up’s altogether. And the few he does have blend in rather well with the battle-worn look his armor has going on.

The Mandalorian... not bad I guess. He's way too short though. Did the scale change over the years? I know the Boba Fett mold is like 6 years old by now, but it’s still a bit off-putting that the difference is so noticeable. Paintwork is okay, not as many details as Boba but that's most likely due to his design not being as elaborate. I like his weapons, the Proto Boba rifle especially; it gives him a nice presence when holstered. Not too hard to do that either, the peg doesn’t fit even when the belt piece is lined up, but it holds well enough.

The plastic cape though - not very good. I hate these. Soft goods would've gone a long way here, and I'm holding out for a Japanese company to do it eventually. Considering the price I paid though? Really not bad all in all. Just wish he was a bit taller really.
