For me the two major improvements with the new Mando are the shoulder pads and the helmet. The more raised look and larger size to the shoulder pads on this new one cuts a much better silhouette that looks closer to the show, and the helmet goes without saying. My Star Wars shelf is directly to the right of my desk, so I mostly see those figures from a side profile and man I can't stand looking at that older helmet mold from the side, everything about it just looks wrong and ugly. The cloth cape is a bonus too, glad we'll finally be able to have him posed with the jetpack on.

This is a total random guess on why the wall was causing a (non bad batch) echo. But the sound waves might be "going around" the sound proof wall and bouncing off the other side of the wall (that hasn't been sound proofed). This may be creating crude echo chamber like thingy with the rest of the room. If you want to keep the wall you might be able to fix it by padding the other side of the wall that you removed. But keep in mind I am probably, most likely, 100% wrong. Also love your videos!

There was something sticking for me about the new astromech bodies and it didn't click until I built one of the model kits last weekend; the body is too thick. The height is good, but the storage gimick makes them a millimeter or two too wide, which makes them look too bulky to me. Not saying the old mold is better in any way, though. However, I do kind of want them to do the Kenner tribute R7 unit from Ahsoka on the old body. That just seems fitting to me.

Tossing this out there though I'm sure someone's beaten me to it but, as someone fiddling with their copy of this Mando right now, I've noticed the shoulder pads are likely not meant to go the full 360, as they're seemingly in a bit of a trench as it were that stops them after a slight bit forward and back, like a groove not fully cut out. Still sort of an improvement, imo, but I'm unsure as to why they have it blocked like this. Something to do with the integrity of the plastic, maybe?

There is actually a decent bit of reuse with the deathwatch mando, which was to be expected.

Regardless, it's without a doubt my pick for best mando figure made so far.
