The Mandalorian’s Cara Dune is one fine lady and one butt-kicking female lead. So is Gina Carano. But do you want her “carbonized”? (more….)

$18 The Vintage Collection repaints. What could possibly go wrong with that? The Mandalorian (Carbonized) figure is gorgeous, but is it worth the $4 price hike? We’re not so sure (more….)

We have a sneak peek for you tonight of the Walmart exclusive The Vintage Collection The Mandalorian Carbonized figures. Why do “carbonized” figures look better than their non-carbonized counterparts? We’re finding that these figures are more impressive than the standard releases. These figures come without any VC numbers, and their packaging is “foiled” to create a hologram effect for the card art. The cards are extra-thick too, so it will be difficult to “hurt” the figures’ packaging. This is the first time we’re seeing the Imperial Death Trooper under The Mandalorian banner. Hasbro used new card art for this one. We have full galleries and collector notes available for all of the figures, and reviews begin tomorrow! Enjoy!

The GameStop exclusive “Credit Collection” IG-11 is interesting, and strange, and confusing. What’s the point of this line? And why are they put on vintage Kenner-inspired packaging cards? (more….)

The 2nd stretch goal for the Razor Crest was just revealed. And it’s none other than Baby Yoda aka The Child! He comes with his 2nd crib he had towards the end of season 1! In his left hand Baby Yoda is holding his favorite toy in the world, the metal knob from the control lever. Which was absent from the cockpit renders. How do you like that stretch goal? Also, do you think Baby Yoda might also see a single release (with his first crib) later in 2021? You can back the Razor Crest here to get Baby Yoda in TVC!

The Razor Crest is 352 backers short of reaching 8,000 backers, which means two things: the escape pod is greenlit and the 2nd stretch goal should be revealed in the next few hours, probably when people in North America wake up again. Now the big question is, what will that 2nd stretch goal be? Could it be a Baby Yoda figure? Prisoners in carbonite? A flight stand? A second escape pod? Or maybe some lights for the cockpit and cargo bay? What is your guess? Also, at the pace the Razor Crest gets backers the question is if maybe an ultimate 3rd stretch goal will be added once 10,000 have been reached. Or do you think two stretch goals is all the Razor Crest will get? Also: the first person to guess the 2nd stretch goal wins the internet for today! So leave your guess in the comments!

S.H.Figuarts is focusing more on The Mandalorian! The Beskar Mandalorian and Baby Yoda aka The Child were released a few days ago and are shipping to me, I’ll get the figures by the end of the week (hopefully). IG-11 is coming next month and hopes are that he is much more accurate and a lot better than the Black Series offering. But SHF is not stopping here, the Heavy Mandalorian and The Armorer are also coming to the line. Now the big question is: will collectors outside of Japan still want these figures when Hasbro is offering a great Heavy Mandalorian figure and just announced the Armorer as well? As usual materials used (SHF is known for using very high quality plastics) and accessories may be the deciding factor here. Click through for some additional info and photos!
UPDATE: The Armorer web exclusive figure is already available for pre-order from various Japanese etailers!
