Very good, Nick! I took that female helmet and put it on an extra Koska Reeves. So now I have a bonus lady Mandalorian kicking butt on Moff Gideon’s Light Cruiser Hallway. Also bumped up the male quotient with Bill Burr and one of those Bobas from Mandalorian. Take care, buddy!
I like the new one, does need weathering though. They are actually 2 different forges, mine was based on the original one from the tunnels under Nevarro. And I believe hasbros is from the cave in season 4. I can now do the great forge from the end of last season on Mandalore aswell 😀😀.
This is the current direction of Hasbro by reducing production costs through eliminating/reducing paint applications. Yet we still handover our money to them. To me this screams out as an actual toy playset, albeit a very well sculpted piece, rather than a collector's display piece which is what I assume the majority of TVC purchases are for. If you are going to display out of the box I think people are now going to "brush up" on their custom painting skills.😂 This is wgat I would do if I was a loose collector.
Some weathering on the paint, and a top covering for lower shelf displays could have taken this from a "B" to an "A" for me. I've got it sitting on an end table, and the unfinished top is terrible. I will be adding some miniature LEDs to the flames. I appreciate that they thought about the lighting for this set.
The Rockwall looks reminiscent of the accessory (Cave Wall) packaged with The Power of the Force Electronic FX R2-D2. At least to me it does. I am thinking of ways to make the hole in the ceiling, work to my advantage but this really needs to be "in hand" for that kind of R&D, because I can only hypostasize at the moment. It's already been ordered and I have very little patience. 😩
Hasbro seem to think using that 'swirly effect' plastic gives it detail and depth - but it's just a cost cutting method of course, and actually makes it look more toy like. They do great sculpts but the lack of weathering is a real problem I think. Maybe it doubles as a Retro like you said? but it's obviously to cut production costs.
That Hasbro forge is great. Bud i like the Ian Butler more + its a great paint job to. And Nick is it a problem for you to that you drop accessoires. For me it is a hell when a drop them and can,t find them not back again. Its not good that Hasbro not gif us accessoires sets of action figures so that can make the figures complete again. Its a real shame.
OOK you need to bring back the monkey music 🙂 Great review. I need to get mine opened and setup too. I will probably weather the set for added detailing
How ironic!!! 😂😂😂 I've only just seen this comment, alas... I just filmed a review (opening the V-19) and I actually said in that 'cue the monkey music' 🐒 🙈 😂 with the aim that I'd include it!! So keep an eye out for that review!! What a coincidence you mentioning it though! 😂😂🤣🤣
Over the Mando (any of the new media TBH) playsets ships and creatures and the figures come to mention it. Would it kill Hasbro to do playsets ships or creatures and more figures from the Prequals ? If you look at some of the other stuff Ian is doing that is what Hasbro should be doing.
Thanks for the review. They dropped the ball on this set. Hard to see £60 of value here. The unfinished top is unforgivable. And the lack of wash on the rock walls makes it look like a Playmobil set. Declining TVC standards sadly.
@@OnlyOneKenobiWorse, it was apparently an error and they’ve now removed it from the sale. So you get double screwed if you preordered and missed out when it was part of the sale. I called Pulse Customer service asking if they could refund the discount on my preorder since it was their error and they politely told me to kick rocks.
" For Mandalore"
" FOR MANDALORE '🤜🤛
Wonderful. Honest great vid.

Nice idea Luke! 😉👌🩵

As mentioned man 😉👍
@OnlyOneKenobi I'm going to use those helmets and put them on some of the SHREIK-HAWK Mandos, sick of looking at the blue ones.
Great reaction Hasbro should of weathered it with dark brown and black it would of looked better if they aged it
Top to flop Grogu figure 😃👍.
😂👌😉

Totally agree... and great idea with the LEDs Santa! All the best my friend 🩵👌🙏

It does look nice, but yeah it should have been weathered and the top should have been closed off.
10:35 that’s what she said!
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Exactly 💯 my thoughts entirely! They're milking a cash cow.
I think the custom is better.
looks more real

Pretty annoyed I paid full whack and preordered this and it's already in the Black Friday sale for £15 less.
😮😮😮 no way!? 😤 how annoying!
