Unboxing & Review: Hot Toys The Mandalorian & Grogu Deluxe

[@BostonCollectors]

Editor note: ToyAnxiety usually buy 3-5 figures to breakdown at a time. The parts go pretty quickly, so it may be tough to locate that particular neck piece if other people are searching. In the mean time, give MonkeyDepot a shot as well. They don’t always do full figure breakdowns, but you might get lucky if they decide to. 😄

I'm glad to see the portrait showcase part of the reviews lately. The portrait of any figure is very important to me. It was very nice to see the lighting changes on the portrait demonstrated. It is a nice touch, and I would love to see more in the future. As always, amazing review!

[@BostonCollectors]

I have to agree! Like we said in the video, I think it’s easy to gloss over the tinier details that went into the facial structure. It’s ok though if collectors miss it, because not everyone is looking as closely as I am. I guess it’s why we feature it. How do I look at it and what do I see? How do we aid the viewer into seeing it differently or better? 😄 That section of the video is definitely sticking around for the long run. ❤

[@user-im4lv8np7z]

love all the shots, light changes, perfect timing for the voiceover explanations - great showcase!

[@BostonCollectors]

Thanks, V! It takes… enough time, haha! Thank you for watching and we appreciate the love 😄

[@wongalex4628]

nice close-up shot , lighting for photography and figure posing thank you for your video😁😁

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you so much, Wong! We try our best. 😄 - Appreciate you for watching!

[@Decked-Out]

By far and away the best review I have ever seen for a figure. I will check here for reviews before purchasing any more hot toys

[@8bitflea]

You should have way more subs. Good job.

[@KarnageKollectibles]

This is easily a top 5 Hot Toys figure. Great video!

[@bigdogpound1253]

Wooooo!!!! Comfortable Seat Check…Popcorn in my bowl check….”This is where the fun begins….”

[@BostonCollectors]

This is the way. 🍻 Wooooo!

[@angry666]

Newly subscribed over here and I just wanted to pop by and say that your reviews are absolutely phenomenal! The attention to detail, the production value, the TLC approach with every facet of the figures is very much appreciated.Truly a unique experience amongst a sea of reviewers. Keep up the amazing work!

[@BostonCollectors]

Welcome aboard, PFC! Thank you, thank you! We really try our best and that comes naturally because of our love for... essentially... art. I don't know, details really win me over. Originally I thought we were overdoing it, but it's always great to hear from collectors like you who enjoy what we do. Thank you so much for the kind words and stay tuned! There's definitely more on the way. 😄

[@noobist85]

Finally pulled the trigger on this figure. First hot toy purchase. Hopefully only one I need. Great vid.

[@decorumnation4340]

Last pose is sick! Amazing video production and tutorial great job!

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you! Also, we appreciate the love on the production! 😄🙏

[@Thinkworldwild]

Your videos are the best figurine showcases I have ever seen on youtube. A pleasure to watch any of those. Really brilliant job.

[@BostonCollectors]

Wow, thank you so much! Happy to hear our content's keeping your interest! 😄 We have more on the way soon.

[@RobJNathanSings]

Lovely review, really appreciate the work that went into making this. Thank you, guys.

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you so much for watching, Rob! This one did take quite a while. So many accessories and angles to change up. It was worth it though if it helped another collector or just enjoyable to watch. 😄🍻

[@ktl8765]

detail as allways❤❤❤

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you, thank you! 😄🙏

[@yarty3736]

Your videos are pure gold. You deserve more suscribers mate. Don’t stop doing this!

[@BostonCollectors]

Thanks, Yarty! We really do try our best 🙌 Maybe one day we’ll get up there, but the main goal is to help out other collectors for us 😄🙏

[@Blitz0065]

It's always an event watching your videos. Love it!!

[@BostonCollectors]

Bliiiiitz! We’re just happy to hear you all enjoying the content. Thank you so much for watching, my friend! 😄

[@WCKiller-pm8qu]

The way this video is shot is beautiful

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you, WC! Took a bit, but we felt it was worth it in the end too, haha! Thanks for watching! 😄

[@TRDGE]

man your b-roll is amazing. Thanks for sharing!

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you, thank you! We try our best. Thanks for watching! 😄

[@richieyufilms6913]

I personally loved the thumb up holding hands, I find it much much easier to switch weapons than all my other figures

[@BostonCollectors]

I love them as well! It was the pattern around the thumb that I thought was strange. I’m using the thumb gesture in my display actually! 😄

[@renem3526]

This is the most esthetic figure video I have seen on KZbin. Really well done 👍🏻

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you, thank you! Like we mentioned before, we didn’t want to slack on the quality of the review because of how many accessories came with him. Just had to tough it out, haha! Appreciate you for watching and taking the time out to comment! 😄🙏

[@AznChizzle]

Easily the best unboxing ever. FOR ANYTHING. Great job man. Great job. I don't even own a hot toy, but may buy this one because of this review!

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you! This one kicked me in the 'nads as far as filming, but I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! If this sold you on it, then I'm honored. You'd love this one in hand! Thanks for watching! 😄

[@paulclancy4221]

I only found your channel today. I love the minute details you go into. Not many others do this. This Mando is the best one.I literally just bought this online a few mins ago, because of this video.

[@BostonCollectors]

We really appreciate that! Showing off the details is one of the most important things to us because it's one of the things that make these figures special. We're so happy you found us! Enjoy your Mando🙏😄

[@paulclancy4221]

​@@BostonCollectors My Mando arrived today. It's absolutely incredible. Worth every penny (including the extra customs import fee).

[@collectorjoey]

Great Review! Love your style! Quality work

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you, thank you! We appreciate the love my dude. 🙏😄

[@futurafreeze]

wow mando using boba’s knee rockets somehow feels so wrong yet also feels so right 😂 fantastic production quality and review as always. appreciate you.

[@BostonCollectors]

Haha, I know! I questioned filming that part for a moment actually, 😆! Thanks for watching, Freeze! Appreciate the kind words! 😄

[@Gatchaman01]

Incredible video Tnx for all the tips it helps me a lot and the poses were on point 👍

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you for watching! We’re Happy to help, El Taino! 😄🙏🏼

[@TK421Collectibles]

Incredible video mate! Literally the best video I’ve seen for this figure 🔥 and the way you did the transport trooper with Echos neck warmer looked really effective! Very tempted to do the same now! 😀 Thanks for taking the time to put this video together, I appreciate how long it must have taken and the work you’ve put in on this one 👍🏻🍻

[@BostonCollectors]

Thanks man, but yours was really good too! Having that Swoop Bike ready easily made your review that much better. I really need that thing, lol! Echo’s neck sleeve was a fluke, because it was meant for a modification on Rex. I chickened out because I didn’t want to mess up, so the piece was just there. It ended up being perfect! Give it a shot, I think you’ll like the portrait on the Transport Trooper 😄🙌 Thanks for watching man, we appreciate it! It did take quite a while to piece together, but as long as it was enjoyable to watch or helped anyone make a better decision to pick him up (or not) 🙌🍻🍻

[@TK421Collectibles]

@@BostonCollectors thanks for saying so mate, much appreciated!! And yeah now this Mando is out, the swoop bike makes a lot more sense as a purchase, just because you can load the extras on to it! 😀

[@TRDGE]

I have to get Bo-Katan first since I have the previous version of Mando, but this will definitely be on my radar for the future!

[@BostonCollectors]

We did a review here on the channel for her some months ago I believe. Maybe... December? I can't recall. Anyway, she's suuuuuch a great figure! While I was a little annoyed with her articulation, she's a BEAUTIFUL figure to have in the display. In fact, I might go in and pose her up after I reply to a few more comments, haha!

[@devongreen2746]

Been waiting for this video! Hoping to order this figure soon

[@BostonCollectors]

Hopefully we helped in some way with you making the decision! It’s a beautiful figure and the unboxing experience is a lot of fun. If you end up making the jump, let us know what you think when he’s in hand 😄

[@4208342]

This has been such a professionally made video which presents the clearest purest view so far with tastefully done comparisons - well done!

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you so much, Owen! You’re way too kind! 😄🙏

[@BenBennyBoBenny]

Another top tier review my friend! I absolutely love this figure. At first I was unsure whether to get it or not as I own the first Beskar Mando, but I'm so glad I picked it up. He just pops in the display with the chrome finish. I did however "clean" him up and removed the weathering effect on the armour and I'm so glad I did. I didn't mind the weathered appearance but after removing it, he just shines in the collection. Keen to see if he goes through any changes in season 3 which would mean another release from Hot Toys but at this point, I think he's the pinnacle version of Mando

[@BostonCollectors]

Heya, Benjamin! Good to see you on another upload! 😄 This piece really does demand attention in the display and it looks so good! I don’t blame you for cleaning him either. I purchased a whole new set of pieces to do that exact thing for my previous Mando. With the way you make it sound, I can’t wait to start the process! This will have to be the end of my Mandalorian figures though. If they end up releasing anything else, I may just buy the parts to adjust around his appearance. Thanks for watching, Benjamin! Appreciate you sharing your thoughts as well! 😄🙏

[@TexasFinest_Collectibles]

Awesome Review!!! The quality, the lighting and the setup is amazing, well done.

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you so much, Texas! We appreciate the love! 🙏😄

[@manpreetsingh252]

Another certified masterpiece of a video from BostonCollectors! Love it

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you, Amar! 😄🙏 And thanks for watching!

[@rogerwilson2113]

Awesome review! I can’t wait to get mine next month or so ^^

[@BostonCollectors]

Thanks, Roger! You’ll definitely enjoy the unboxing experience. I haven’t enjoyed one like this since the two pack Boba Fett Deluxe. 😄

[@braithmorrow8999]

Great review, agree that the deluxe is not worth the extra money for most enthusiasts. I'll be going the standard version (if i do upgrade from the prior version)

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you for watching and it’ll still be an awesome unboxing experience, I can assure you! 😄

[@Spatan295]

Hey there, BostonCollectors! I’m glad I found your channel. I absolutely love your focus on details and lighting! Your analysis is wonderful. I wanted to ask, is it possible to fit Pedro Sculpt onto the season 1 Beskar one? I saw your analysis on it (and to be extra careful) and wondered if you could fit it on carefully with the costume still on? Also, do you just tug firmly on the previous version’s neck joint for it to come off? Thanks again!

[@BostonCollectors]

Heya, Serperit! We’re happy to hear you found us as well and thank you so much for the kind words. We appreciate it! With the costume on, it doesn’t change tooo much. However, I did notice a few things though. The neck on this release is tailored in a way for it to stiffen the area so that you aren’t fighting with the suit to lock the portrait down. On the Season 1 Beskar Mandalorian, we have a lot more fabric to fight with which means it’ll probably look a bit hectic. You’d have to futz it to death. The neck joint did put up a bit of a fight, but nothing that required tools. Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask. 😄

[@chuckleseed]

You guys always deliver quality videos! Awesome review.

[@BostonCollectors]

You are the good apple, DungChow. 🥹 Thank you for watching, man! 🙌

[@Fletch85uk]

I didn't care to get the deluxe version for the swoop bike accessories so I went for the regular version. I plan to die the jumpsuit brown as it's meant to be.

[@BostonCollectors]

I can’t blame you on either front honestly. I did note the jumpsuit was wrong, but I had to weigh the pros/cons of the video length. I would’ve wanted to point out all of the fun facts / flaws if I did. Which would’ve meant more time spent producing the review, lol! 😭 Anyway, best of luck with the dye process! I’m sure you’ll be able to find a nice contrasting brown with the brown waist section. Thanks for watching! 🍻

[@SmashFiguras]

Best video ever!

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you so much! This one took a loooooooooong while to film. Still haunts me, haha! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SmashFiguras]

@@BostonCollectors hahaha I can’t imagine al the work! A piece of art i think.

[@lammie-858]

Thank you for the video, very high quality production! I subscribed after watching this. Can I ask you what is the name of the black gloves you used to handle the figure? Are they black medical gloves?

[@BostonCollectors]

Thank you so much, and we appreciate you subscribing! The gloves I use are called SAFESKIN* Nitrile Disposable Gloves. I pick up the Large size because of my hands, but they’re phenomenal gloves. amzn.to/3pd8hGI

@@BostonCollectors Thank you very much, have a wonderful day!

[@daniel_sc1024]

Thanks for the fantastic vid, Jonathan. I've got this one coming, hopefully next week. After watching your vid, I'm inclined to pose him with the spear and leave all that other stuff in the box. 😄 But even if I do, it's nice to know in a few years I can repose him with all that other stuff. Maybe in Season 3 we'll get the golden armor version. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@BostonCollectors]

It’s A LOT to unpack when you get it, but it’s one of those unboxings where you’ll need a drink and some good music Because damn… it’s beautiful. That’s not bad actually! I ended up putting all the bigger pieces back in the box myself, but I would like to use some of them later for the Swoop Bike. Anyway, Howard ain’t gettin’ me with a Golden Armor, Venomized, Neon Tech or nothin’! This is officially my last Mando 😂 Thanks for watching my dude, always good seeing you on an upload 🙏

[@daniel_sc1024]

@@BostonCollectors Yeah, I'm through with Mando, too. I simply can't collect everything.

[@poopoo5576]

What camera do you use bro?

[@BostonCollectors]

I’m using the Canon 90D

[@mechalarogaming]

Yow, is it safe from flaking issues?

[@BostonCollectors]

No, unfortunately it isn't. There's pleather on the bandolier, holster, belt and weapon strap. If you're able to condition it regularly you should be fine, but if not, then it's pretty RIP.

[@mechalarogaming]

damn, i got mine but never opened it since then. i should open and apply conditioner asap. im living in a hot weather country LOL. and this is my first HT btw hahah thanks man@@BostonCollectors

[@gritynity]

Could he wear Boba’s helmet and jet pack?

[@chickenbites8877]

The weathering on the armour really bothers me tbh, its a real shame imho.

[@Alex-fm9oj]

Mate, what is the point of a 30-minute review if you do not show articulation?

[@BostonCollectors]

We don’t do that here. There are no rules telling me what I should and shouldn’t do in my content. Try searching for other reviews on him for it.

[@markusadanitsch648]

Surely an nice Figure but this Set is totally overpriced
