I find it funny how often times collectors will complain about there not being enough weathering on figures, only then to go ahead and remove weathering effects when they actually do give them to us! But this looks fantastic, Dean. The difference is kind of surprising!!
Yeah it is kind of funny, but the issue here is the weathering looks more like pitting than weathering. Like he has been hit with acid. In the show he is covered in sand, dust, dirt, and grime. Not sure how you would accomplish that without taking him out to the backyard.
Bro I am WITH YOU on Bo-Katan. I loved the figure when I first saw it...but then after watching season 3 so far, I'm very interested in picking her up!
Thanks for the video! I was watching some japanese modders and they simply used some tamiya x-20 thinner and q-tips and it worked perfectly as well for removing the weathering without damaging the chrome, so might go down that route when i can!
Thanks for the awesome video as I would like to also remove the weathering dirt effect. May I know will this rubbing on the metal armor resulted in scratches on the beskar armor surface? Thanks
Thank you for the tip. Awesome stuff,now he looks like he did in the Book Of Boba Fett. Love how shiny that Beskar came out. On the updated video. I watched your newest video on this figure first.
I left some of the weathering because in the show his armor wasn't perfectly clean. It was dirty and dusty. Especially in season 3. Another thing I did was dye his jump suit to dark brown.
Thank you so much for this video!🙏🏻 My Mando is just arriving in april cuz I live in Europe, and your cleand chrome Mando looks amazing so I’m going to do the same thing It’s much more accurate to the show and I love how clean Mando looks in the other video🤩
Amazing! I’m ready to do it! Already got the cape cod one. The cotton cloth is any cotton cloth? Or what do I need to look for exactly? Thanks!!! I hope i don’t ruin my mando 😂. Btw the gloves, ara necessary? Thanks!
You gotta get Bo Katan. She has limited articulation, but it's limited by the way she moved in the show, body is perfect, armour is perfect, Kate head sculpt is about a 8, the helmet is a 10. Solid built excellent, just be careful with wrist pegs, a bit fragile. I haven't broken mine, but I watched a review where they broke easy. Welcome to the mando addiction. 😜😁👍😃

Don’t use X-20 if you can get cape cod cloths. I tried both band cake cod was 100x easier!
I just got my Mando in yesterday now I got all the bobas im addicted to Star Wars figures now. The Boba Fett on Throne is so amazing.

Is absolutely no need to spend money on this cloth .just need polish cream for silver and cotton pad ..I did on Mine and zero issues..
Great work Dean! Thanks! God bless, and stay safe!
Just left a comment on your review for this figure about making a tutorial for dechroming. This is helpful. Thanks!
I had the Bo Katan figure by Hot Toys and I sold her off straight away. I found her to be a very unremarkable figure. ❤
thanks you Dean for this video, i will try on mine
What would you suggest to do if someone were to scratch up the Chrome? I happened to create 3 small scratches on the helmet.
Hi! What do you think, it is work on the non chrome mando? Because i buy a 1/4 verzion but i hate the weathering for him. Thank you.

Curious how yours came out? I'm worried about this effecting the integrity of it long term. Thanks
Great video I’m gonna do it to my spare I got from sideshow as a replacement
Thanks so much for this! Was the 1 pack of cape cod cloth enough for the entire figure?
I had Bo Katan preordered but I cancelled it. I think you would not like it because it only has single jointed elbows and I think that would annoy you

Did you get Bo Katan? You should get Bo
I used paint thinner and cotton buds (q tips) and was far easier
Get Bo Katan. Lazy Hot toys with the body but a great looking figure.
season 3 is horrible so far
yes, sadly
