The Mandalorian: S1 E2 (Spoiler Thread)
Episode 2 of the Mandalorian is now available for streaming and download from Disney+. Despite its shorter runtime, the story seems tighter than the first and was even more entertaining for me. The description for this episode reads:
Target in-hand, The Mandalorian must now contend with scavengers.
And boy, does he. Click on through to weigh in with your thoughts on this chapter of the series.
Customizer Spotlight: Elias
Tonight we spotlight an amazing custom by Elias (part of the Darth Daddy / Customs for the Kid customizing duo).
Check out this amazing 3.75″ scale Bobbajo figure from The Force Awakens that he assembled and hand-painted (with more details) after the jump!
Rumor Report: 6″ Heavy Infantry Mandalorian Available Soon?
Based on recent shipping info, it looks like the recently leaked 6″ Black Series Heavy Infantry Mandalorian from The Mandalorian should be available to collectors soon as the product shipped from China last month and arrived at ports in the US and Canada last week.

The Mandalorian: First Episode (Spoiler Thread)
Disney+ has officially launched and with it is the highly anticipated first episode of The Mandalorian. I, for one, thought it was a great introduction to this new era of the Star Wars universe. Feel free to weigh in with your comments (spoilers allowed) regarding the first episode of this series.
New Black Series ARtWork for Rumored characters
New artwork has surfaced on artist Gregory Titus’s website that features some of the long rumored figures for the Black Series. Mixed in with newly revealed Jedi Revan and the Heavy Mandalorian portraits are illustrations for Luke Skywalker (Crait), Clone Commander Bly, Jar Jar Binks and Zeb Orrelios and more.
Remember the existence of this artwork doesn’t prove the existence of the figures per se, but at least we know they’re ready for when they are realized in plastic form.
Thanks to Ben F. for the tip.
