2024 Deluxe VC343 Cobb Vanth (Mandalorian Armor)

[Rob]

He’s on the website.  If you search Cobb Vanth, you get results for TVC for $24.99, and Black Series for $19.99.  lol..

[Rob]

Got Cobb Vanth today.  He's about what you'd expect.  I can't get the flames to stick in the jetpack.  You'd think for the price that would work...

[Jeff]

I can't get the flames to stick in the jetpack. 

I've seen a few other reports online about the flames not working with the jetpack. Lame for sure, but I likely wasn't posing him with those anyway so I can live with it.

Waiting for a good comparison pic with the more recent TVC ROTJ Boba Fett so we can see if the paint apps live up to the hype on this DLX version...

[Rob]

Yeah same, I just leave them on the ground next to his feet and prefer to keep accessories attached to figures so I don't run the risk of having them get mixed up with other nearby figures.

Wait, so you don't have bins and bins filled with baggies of extra accessories?  You just leave them on the shelf with the figure?  Is that legal?

[Rob]

Ha.  I do try to just keep them together on the shelf.  I have a tackle box of extras but I regret having done that years ago because now I have no idea what goes to what.  They're just there if I need them.

I found a case of Cobbs on the shelf at Walmart today. Though I am not thrilled with the mark-up, I am resigned to it if I want a character with extra paint apps an complex construction. And I have wanted this character in this configuration for 5 years, so I bit.

That said, I am very glad that there were quite a few on the shelf, and that they have switched to the blister cards, because at these prices the figure needed to be perfect, and I was able to sort through a bunch that were iffy on the face deco to find one I was satisfied with.

I found Cobb Vanth yesterday at an area Walmart.  I had been going to the store closest to my house trying to find him, but to no avail.  So I checked the Walmart app and found that Cobb Vanth was in EVERY OTHER Walmart near me - except for that one store near my place.

Looking forward to opening this one.  It looks really well done.  And I hope the version of Vanth from The Book of Boba Fett looks just as good.  And in light of how good the armor looks?  I'd really like to see Boba in his armor as seen on Tython in The Mandalorian season 2.  That fight against the Stormtroopers was epic, and that version of Boba was amazing.

Found this guy at my local Walmart yesterday...picked up two of the five there and cancelled my Amazon order.

Nice figure...we're definitely getting a BoBF version as well at some point.  Not 100% sold this should've been a deluxe figure.

[Nicklab]

I canceled my Amazon order, too.  These have been showing up in enough quantities at Walmart that they haven't been difficult to come by.

My one concern with these deluxe figures?  The fact that Hasbro is only offering them one at a time, and it's a solid packed case.  I don't know how many Cobb Vanths are shipping in each case.  If the case pack is like basic figures?  That would be 8 figures per case.  It's great to be able to get figures, but I think this solid case pack leads to a perception issue that the pegs are overflowing with Cobb Vanth or whatever other deluxe figure we're talking about.  I think if Hasbro offered 2 deluxe figures at a time?  That might create a better perception of the deluxe figures.
