Review on Unleash Your Inner Mandalorian with LEGO Star Wars Mandalorian Featuring by Christopher Pfaffe

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Mando and baby are excellent but the set is pretty average (no spoiler review)

The Mando figure included in this set is in a class by himself and he alone warrants the purchase. Adding Baby Yoda to that price point is an incredibly attractive icing on the cake. But while both of these figures are amazing, the rest of the set is pretty decent, and the Tusken cabin is pretty mediocre. Here are my pros and cons: Pro: MANDO! MANDO! MANDO! Seriously, do I really need to talk more? Most people who buy this set do it to get their hands on it and it's so cool that I sincerely regret not buying it on a weekday because its coolness could distract me from my work . Its print is extremely glossy and it has small details that are really beautiful. I like the bullets in his bandolier on his chest. The most exciting thing about it is that it's easily handshakes. On one arm he has wrist missiles and a flamethrower (including a launcher for his whistling birds). The other arm has a control panel and shoulder armor that contains his mudhorn sigil (which blew me away). The head is all black and the helmet is lighter than the previous Lego version (see my comparison photo). His cloak is hard, not spongy. The baby is adorable and the head is made of hard rubber plastic. Its torso print is simple but effective and cute. Tusken is the same one we received in the previous set last year. His head is molded in two-tone plastic and he's definitely a nice addition if you don't have that figure, although obviously he's not in the same class as Mando or Child. The catapult launches the rocket far away and I love the steampunk frontage of it. Cons: I'm not a big fan of the cabin. It's not playable and there are some pretty big gaps on the back that look awful. A giant tech pin sticks out in the middle, and you only get half the hut, which, while I understand why Lego made it, still feels odd. While the catapult parts look nice on the front, the top of the set looks pretty plain. The Speeder is slightly better but suffers from the same issues. Worse, it's very hard to get Mando onto the speeder without crumpling his cloak unless you make sure the cloak is sticking out. I have a feeling that a more thoughtful speeder or sponge cape could solve this problem. pick it up when it's back on sale. If you're buying this set for any other reason, it's not bad, although the no-figure set is frankly mediocre. So I would definitely recommend this set, but mainly if you're buying it for action figures.

  • Pleasant
