Absolutely looking forward to the arrival of this Mando, he looks awesome! Glad to see he's starting to pop up in shops in Canada now. I've had him on pre-order forever (well, since May 4th) and it's been a long time coming! The helmet is definitely a better sculpt than the awful original, but I might still consider using my other more detailed OT Customs helmet instead if its more screen-accurate finish isn't too different than Hasbro's finish, which at least appears better than the original beskar attempt.
I have the Mafex one on a dewback with Grogu currently and he’ll be staying there. I have this new guy on the way though, and I’m looking forward to fitting him into the display! Great review as always!
Damn, when I heard about this I thought I was fine with my old one, but seeing the comparison made me realise I need to pick this figure up at some point. Great review!
Looks really good actually. I recently sold my Mando from the Grogu 2-pack from Target, wanted to take a look at this one before deciding between BS and Mafex 2.0. Still going for Mafex, I just prefer having more accessories/alternate hands.
glad i pre-ordered this Mando and sold off my old ones! thanks for confirming my hunch that this was going to be such a cool figure and the best TBS mando we have gotten so far... time to cancel pre-orders for that Mines of Mandalore Mando figure, i suppose 😅
Hello Luke thanks for sharing your thoughts on this newest version of Mando. I've got this figure on preorder and I can't wait for him to become available in the US. I only have the original and the first Beskar Armor Mando figures so far, I wasn't going to get all the different variations with Grogu... too expensive. I'm looking forward to having the new version of the Dark Saber, the soft goods cape, and the improved helmet, huge improvement over the first Beskar figure. Thanks Luke for the review of this new figure, I appreciate it. Take care my friend, Tom
The paint job is what makes this figure for me. But the articulation just isn't where I want it to be, and the chunky joints just don't look that great to me. Definitely in the top 3 Mandos, but I'm holding out for the Mafex 2.0.
Same man. I think Figuarts wins in terms of articulation and detail, Mafex is just amazing to look at and its proportions look great, and Black Series is just great bang for your buck.
@@marinko6450 Definitely agree. I put all three next to each other and although I really like the SHF (and even Mafex), the Black Series is really good for the price. I will say though that the prices are all pretty comparable once you include the accessories
Something not mentioned here but it's nice that even though he doesn't include it he still has the hole in his back for the rifle to plug into if you have one from one of the previous versions.
I’m surprised to hear that you didn’t like the newest Figuarts Mando, because I think he’s really good. Definitely way better than all the other Figuarts Mandos. I don’t know what it is about the helmets on the black series Mandos looking off to me, but even this one, while definitely better, still looks strange to me.
I actually pre-ordered that Mandalorian one month ago but I pre-ordered it from gamestop but it still hasn't got a ride because it still hasn't been released
I don't have a Din yet, gonna wait for this one to go on sale. I just wish we could remove the helmet, since everyone already knows who he is under it.
welp, as expected, i'm gonna buy at least 2 more Mandos (the Mafex 2.0 that just got delayed and Black Series of course). I'm gonna stay clear of SHF ...good for action poses, good accessories but the proportions and sculpt just aren't my cup of tea. The next question is should we go for the Hasbro Mando in Book of Boba Fett packaging now or wait for the already announced one that is almost the same but has different accessories in Mandalorian line packaging. (like are they going to adjust some of the colors? i'm not in love with how red the belt looks, the Mafex belt looks like actual leather and that is 90% just color choice, and maybe 10% the better sculpt) ... and am i still going to like my old Hasbro Mandos when the new one is in hand? I got the snowy and muddy ones as well ;P
This might be the mad scientist in me speaking, but I think I would be tempted to swap the legs with the old one. I know there’s a few design differences between the two but I’m a sucker for double jointed legs
Nice review, the figure looks so good ! Do you know if the Pedro Pascal head from the Morak figure looks good on him proportion wise ? It's the only thing that makes me want to buy the Mafex version
I’ve pretty much written off most black series releases anymore but I might have to bite on this one. With a better case this may be the best Mando to date
Wish you had gone more in depth in comparison to the old and new helmet sculpts thats what im really curious about. It’s supposed to be a brand new sculpt does it look that much better?
I wish your reviews were more indepth as you always get these figures early compared to some of the more in depth channels, like fwoosh. I understand wanting to make a quick and concise review but sometimes you miss things, like the storage for the darksaber in this video, and you never go in depth with the articulation
One thing i don't understand is the very blue flaps on the side and that one knee pad. The last Black Series release was the same way. They are not blue like that in the show, right?!
God damn. Had the Mafex and sold it. Have the S2 SHF and the thing is straight up falling apart (which sucks because I can’t sell it). It’s sad how much this $25 BS puts both of those $80-90 imports to shame. This is by far the superior figure.
Is there anywhere to store the darksaber?
Yep he's got a hook on his back you can see at 2:23
@@LandspeederLukethat's awesome
I was literally going to sleep, but then I saw your IG story and said "You know, this is more important than sleeping" 😂
yo same! 😅😅
Same bro!😂
Hahaha
😅
This looks like a huge upgrade all around! Can't wait for this one.
Really looks great, can’t wait for this one. And gotta take a moment to appreciate that group figure shot. The face likeness of each is soooo good
I have several mando's I have not opened, when I saw this one, I ordered it, it will be on the shelf. Great review!
I hope they do the mandalorian from the ending of S3 with the dual weild pistols and new Jetpack and the maul loyalist moff Gideon
Great review! I’m really looking forward to this one, as I only grabbed first appearance mando and the ice spider one.

This looks to absolutely be the best Mando figure we’ve ever gotten! Fully worth the hype. Can’t wait to get him in hand!

That new mafex mando is gonna be a banger I’m holding out for it
Great video! I cannot wait to get mine.
Im picking up 2 one to leave in box and one to display

Couldn't quite tell--does the figure have butterfly joints?
Really my only problem with this figure that he doesn’t have a removable helmet, if he had that then he’d be perfect
I still don't own a Mando figure but this one might be my first!
I think you are the first on yt to post a review for this figure 🤘🏻

Love this figure, bought him the second he dropped for preorder

Man so much better!
I just picked him up (my first figure of him) i waited because I knew we would eventually get a good one
SHF s3 is pretty solid imo, I’m getting my Black Series Mando today or Monday so I’m interested to see how it compares to the Mafex and SHF in person.
Same man. I think Figuarts wins in terms of articulation and detail, Mafex is just amazing to look at and its proportions look great, and Black Series is just great bang for your buck.

I have him preordered and can't wait til he comes in (saying about march for the US release).
great video i really want this mando he looks great
He looks so awesome! Even better than I imagined! Great video!
I'm very much ready to replace my older Mando's, this one looks great!
Thanks for sharing Man!
hmmm... do the Jepack Effects from ROTJ Boba fit in the new Mando's Jetpack? I didn't see if there were holes under there for it.
Yes
Thanks, Luke! Can’t wait to own this figure in like three months!
I think this is the definitive Mando for the Black Series 👌
Looks fantastic
I hope I can get it next year 🙏
Great review DAMN I gotta say that mando fig looks amazing, like a mini hot toy or side show fig, keep up the good work we appreciate you👍👍👍👍👍👍
Something not mentioned here but it's nice that even though he doesn't include it he still has the hole in his back for the rifle to plug into if you have one from one of the previous versions.
Glad I held off on all the TBS Mandos so far. This seems like the one to finally get.
Definitely will be my new Mando!

Hyped to grab this one! I don't know why they just didn't keep the soft goods for the mines of Mandalore one to come out eventually
I love that Bo Katan head sculpt! Where can I get one?
Fett.clone on insta
Very nice can't wait to see the others.
Wait is that Mandolorian in stores already? And where can I get him?
This was in stock at CMDStore.com in Canada a few days ago, should be in stores in the US in a few months!
Oh ok, do you think it will be in Frank and Sons by my birthday in January? That’s when I am going to go there
@@DarthDrengr9809 Hmm if it is it will probably be at a premium price since it's so new
Hey man, great review
Just asking if the Pulse Rifle can store in his back, and that tiny staff storage clip from the S2 one as well
👍
I noticed he has an extra peg hole on his left shoulder, is that so you can store his rifle from the previous figures?
This will be my main mando now haha
This is absolutely my most anticipated figure with my most anticipated wave. All of them are a pickup
Wow 😳😳 looks so good !!
I actually pre-ordered that Mandalorian one month ago but I pre-ordered it from gamestop but it still hasn't got a ride because it still hasn't been released
So awesome!! And i think the old one still looks good
These all look good!!! (This whole wave)
So hyped for that mando
I don't know if I should get this mando as i still have the 1st one
Great as always Luke
Is there any place to put the knife?
In his boot
I don't have a Din yet, gonna wait for this one to go on sale. I just wish we could remove the helmet, since everyone already knows who he is under it.
Your videos are relaxing.

when are these dropping?
I need that Mando Figure. It looks so damn GOOD! Where did you get yours? 😎🔥😎🔥😎
Nice review, will you be doing any customizing on this figure?
Looks incredible!!!!
Thanks for showing this off already, is the helmet all 1 piece or is there a head underneath?
It’s perfect
I'm so excited for mine, it's getting here next Wednesday.
By the way, any chance you'll be reviewing the new SHF Kenobi Vader?
I might!
The blade is removable from the hilt. Didn't know if you knew that?
Just got this wave for Christmas, a little disappointed it didn’t come with the darksaber
He does come with it
Oops, my bad I was supposed to say the “beskar spear”
Lol
Looks, great, a vast improvement over the previous BS mandos, I look forward to eventually getting it.
Whats the canadian store again?
This might be the mad scientist in me speaking, but I think I would be tempted to swap the legs with the old one. I know there’s a few design differences between the two but I’m a sucker for double jointed legs
Nice review, the figure looks so good !
Do you know if the Pedro Pascal head from the Morak figure looks good on him proportion wise ? It's the only thing that makes me want to buy the Mafex version
Time to get some 3d printed hands for this
So in this new one.. you can't remove the helmet?
I’ve pretty much written off most black series releases anymore but I might have to bite on this one. With a better case this may be the best Mando to date
He looks great. But does the blue seem to bright ?
Wish you had gone more in depth in comparison to the old and new helmet sculpts thats what im really curious about. It’s supposed to be a brand new sculpt does it look that much better?
I thought the new helmet would be bigger as it always looked a tad small to me. They look about the same size though.
Why did you not compare to the most recent Black Series (the Ahsoka/Grogu 3 pack one)?
Delicous, finally a good freaking Din figure
That's the best mandalorian fig ever
Took ‘em long enough to get Mando right.
Dude that mando…. Is fucking mint. It looks like the greatest black series ever made.
The background music sounds a bit like the alien theme from Annihilation lol
hes beautiful!
I still haven’t seen the KOTOR wave in stores
The gun is new. The new one has wood grain texture on the grip. The old one doesn't.

Cloth capes are the way to go. Time for me to replace the old one.
Yeah, The Mandalorian with his darksaber is awesome now.
One thing i don't understand is the very blue flaps on the side and that one knee pad. The last Black Series release was the same way.
They are not blue like that in the show, right?!
But chest belt is dont painted in silver color...
The head of the new Mando look smaller
God damn. Had the Mafex and sold it. Have the S2 SHF and the thing is straight up falling apart (which sucks because I can’t sell it).
It’s sad how much this $25 BS puts both of those $80-90 imports to shame. This is by far the superior figure.
What pad are you using
What do you mean pad?
@@LandspeederLuke sorry I clicked on this when I was watching a drum solo vid and I was wondering what practice pad they were using lol
@@wyattthewafflefry3485 haha I was so confused
Is it just me or did his pistol mold always have a wood grain?
Good
Definitely looks better than all the others but yeah no, I’m good. I just can’t get hyped for new figures lately.
The Black series is really 😊
Where is the fucking ki adi mundi?
It’s mad he’s actually better than the figuarts why is his head so small ?! I think the new mafex will be the one to have though
The pistol grips are different. A MUCH better Mando, but to me the Mafex sculpt still tops.
Thanks for the video, as usual. 👍
Do you think the blade is useless? He's not really able to hold it 😂
