BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
With just a hint of Beskar, Diamond Select’s new mini-bust of The Mandalorian himself is loaded up and ready to rock your Star Wars shelf.
Flame on
Unless you’ve been living on Dagobah, or you’re just not much of a Star Wars fan, you’ve likely seen that The Mandalorian is back for another season. The show, starring Pedro Pascal and Gina Carrano, is a massive hit and the most popular thing on Disney’s Disney+ streaming service by far.
It’s easy to see why of course, since it’s classically styled, iconically “Star Wars” through and through. And I mean that right down to the main character, who’s a part of a group that’s been a fan-favorite since The Empire Strikes Back.
If you watched season 1, then you saw The Mandalorian get his Beskar armor. That’s a special kind of body armor that stands head and shoulders above the rest. The new mini-bust, just announced by DST, plays off of the character’s armored-evolution.
From creators Gentle Giant, the bust showcases Mando in his early armor, which has a single Beskar armor plate as a pauldron. He’s also ready for a fight here, with flamethrower raised and torched-up, and pistol drawn.
Looking for more Star Wars busts? Well, DST also has revealed a new bust of “the dangerous protocol and interrogation droid Triple-Zero” and Lak Sivrak. If the name doesn’t sound familiar, he’s the wolf-man in the cantina from way back in the original Star Wars film A New Hope.
All of the above are cast in the 1/6th scale, though Mando is set to be pretty limited with only 500 pieces made globally. If you want to add him, or the others to your collection, you can pre-order right here on the Gentle Giant web-store.
