Thanks for the links, Jeff. Just used the Amazon links for my orders.

Same. These were by FAR the four least exciting things from the panel yesterday. They didn't even update Axe's torso to match the season 3 armor (as seen on the cardback).
I guess I'm somewhat glad to get this version of Mando again so that I can put him in my N-1, I still had the N-1 version carded and didn't want to buy an extra. These releases were just all so excepted, I wish we would have gotten a little surprise & delight.
-
$19 for Grogu, who should be an accessory. Lol...

I'm hoping these show up at Target for $11 again... So that I can cancel these because that is ridiculous.
-
I'm upset that I opened the Mando that came with the N-1 starfighter.
Remember when Hasbro said that the only way you could get a Mando with a soft-goods cape was with the Razor Crest?
-
There's been a lot of chatter about Axe Woves going around. The interchangeable helmet solves one issue - the ENORMOUS bucket that came with the Target exclusive figure. But the armor is still REALLY inaccurate. How wrong? Let's count the ways!
-The chest armor cuissis is wrong
-The belly pad is missing
-The pauldrons don't look quite right
-The one piece of shin armor is missing
-The gun belt is missing straps
-The boots aren't right - they're the same design as the VC219 Death Watch Mandalorian that Hasbro used as the basis for the first release.

I noticed the chest at first but didn't see any of the rest of it. Looking closer, literally, all they changed was the helmet. So despite Hasbro putting him on the S3 cardback & saying this is a Season 3 Axe Woves, they really just gave us the same S2 Axe Woves we already had slightly upgraded w/ a swappable head... LAME.
-
I mean, Hasbro's got to know we aren't dumb enough not to notice this, right? But then again, this is Hasbro knowing people will buy it because of the new helmet and double-dipping, etc.
-
It would have been a lot less offensive if they just had him as a Season 2 Axe Woves, which is what he is. I'd be fine with buying him, since I want to display one with the helmet on. I already have him hanging out without the helmet. Hell, I'd even buy a legitimate Season 3 Axe if he had the correct armor. I think the character is decent.
-
Me after noticing Target shows my order as pending almost 2 months after i ordered: "This excusive is sold out. Lucky for me the re-release is the same except for the helmet being swappable"
After realizing the order DID arrive in December: "Why is Hasbro only making the helmet swappable and calling this re-realse season 3?"
Hahaha.

Got a shipping notice for Huyang from Amazon... should be here later today. Guess that means I need to decide pretty quick here whether I'm keeping my Amazon pre-orders for Mando, Grogu, and Axe or cancelling them.
Grogu and Axe have nice upgrades, but I'm irritated over spending $34 for two new accessories (Grogu's pram and Axe's helmet head). Mando being a repack from the N-1 also makes me wonder why I pre-ordered him in the first place...
-
Just got mine. I suppose it's an upgrade over the Disney one, it's a lot larger.

Oh! It looks like TVC Huyang has one of the training lightsabers, albeit just the hilt.

Decided to keep my pre-orders for now. Got shipping notices on Grogu, Fleet Dude, and Axe from Amazon. They should start rolling in over the next few days.
-
Glad to see that the Fleet Commander, Grogu, and Axe Woves are arriving today from Amazon. I hope Mando follows soon, too.
-
Grogu is fine... but sure feels overpriced for what we get in the pack. I really wish they would have included an Anzellan or some other new accessories to give this one a bit more value.
-
If Hasbro never released another Vader, Grogu, or Din again I’d be totally good with it.
-
I showed my son the carded Grogu at Walmart the other day and he was flabbergasted that it was $17.
Now that the "Grogu on a card" itch has been scratched, it is time to relegate Grogu to an accessory.
-
Best part is we had Grogu on a card like a year ago.
They did it twice.
-
I just checked, and the last carded Grogu with the pram came out in 2021. I guess Hasbro wants to keep him in circulation.
-
Wow. I can’t believe it’s been that long.
