Pulse/Disney 2024 TVC The Armorer's Forge Playset

[Jeff]

Pre-order tomorrow, 5pm ET, at Pulse.  Available later in the year at Disney Store.

- TVC The Armorer's Forge Playset with Grogu (Beskar Shirt) and VC331 The Armorer (Lakeside Covert World)

Maybe it is just the promo pictures, but this set is just a little bit of a letdown for me, mostly based on the paint apps. The sculpts and contents are all okay, but the paint feels really flat & 2-D on everything pictured. I guess it is an easy enough fit to repaint it on my own, but I'd rather have had it a bit better looking out of the box. I do like the new Grogu. He feels like the most drastically different version we've had since the first one came out in TVC.

I am curious how well those extra helmets will fit on the Shriek-Hawk Mandalorian set figures for some easy customs. I'm hoping they can be easily mixed & matched to fill out the covens ranks.

I like how every time I place an order the site can’t recognize my saved phone number until I edit it to remove the parentheses.

I had to do that like 5 times trying to order this set!

Latest word from Jayson is that these are now hitting the US ports - usually takes 4-6 weeks to go from the port arrival to shipping to customers so I guess we'll be seeing this one sooner than December.

Also in-stock today at Disney Store:

Dammit I saw the E-Wing thread before this one and switched my order for that to Disney, but this on it's own doesn't qualify for free shipping...

Edit, managed to cancel the Disney Store order, both Pulse orders, then re-order on Disney...

[Jeff]

Looks like Pulse charged me for this one today...

Yep, and the shipping notice last night. I guess Hasbro had all these new things and The Ghost on the same container ship.

Either there are frequent ships or they've been pilling up things to save on transport... in the last two and a half weeks they're shipping soon or have filled preorders for:

Shriek Hawk 4-Pack
Acolyte Retro Wave
Episode II and III Retro Wave
E-Wing
Armorer's Forge
Moff Gideon's Light Cruiser Hallway
TVC Wave 7


And now Ghost.

My sets arrived the other day. Overall my initial impression pretty much matches how I felt when it was first revealed. It's not bad, but leaves bit to be desired. The cave/forge is nicely sculpted, but it is all very flat-looking without any paint. I also don't love the exposed-backside on top piece. For $60 I wish they would have sculpted and detailed both sides of the top pieces and added some basic weathering.

Glad to receive this and set it up on a shelf in my home office.  It services a good anchor piece for the assorted Mandalorians from the Disney+ series.
