Unboxing Sideshow's Mandalorian Collectible Figure

Hey guys, Adam here at Tested, and I'm super excited to show you this amazing gift from Sideshow Collectibles. This is an unsponsored review, but they did give it to me, and I'm thrilled to share my thoughts on this incredible piece. As a nerd collector of all things Star Wars-related, I'm in for a treat.

The outer box of Sideshow's One Quarter Scale Mandalorian Figure is a work of art in itself. The packaging is sleek and modern, with a matte finish that showcases the intricate details of the figure. The lid opens to reveal the figure standing proudly on a pedestal, surrounded by a halo of light. As I lift the lid, I'm greeted by the sweet scent of polyurethane foam, which is sure to bring back memories of those early days of collecting.

As I carefully remove the figure from its packaging, I notice the level of detail that Sideshow has achieved. The Mandalorian's armor is intricately painted with a matte finish, giving it a realistic look that rivals any production model. The facial features are equally impressive, with a subtle expression that suggests a hint of mischief. I can already tell that this figure is going to be a real showstopper.

The first thing that strikes me about this figure is the weight and heft of it. It's substantial, which immediately tells me that Sideshow has not skimped on quality. The packaging materials are top-notch, with thick cardboard and bubble wrap protecting the figure during transit. I take a moment to appreciate the engineering that goes into creating these intricate pieces, marveling at the level of detail and craftsmanship that has gone into every aspect of this collectible.

As I examine the figure more closely, I notice the clever use of articulation points. The arms, legs, and torso are all highly poseable, allowing me to recreate some of my favorite scenes from the Mandalorian series. The helmet is also surprisingly flexible, with a subtle movement that suggests it's actually alive. I'm impressed by the level of thoughtfulness that Sideshow has put into designing this figure.

One of the standout features of this figure is the ambient rifle. It's a gorgeous piece in its own right, with intricate details and textures that make it look almost too real to handle. I remember building my own replica a couple of years ago, but Sideshow's version is on an entirely different level. The way the light catches the metal surface is simply stunning, casting a warm glow over the entire figure.

As I continue to explore the figure, I notice a little pin hidden in the cape. It's a clever touch that suggests there was some kind of design challenge or engineering puzzle that Sideshow had to overcome. Whatever the reason, it's clear that they've achieved something truly remarkable here. The paint job is flawless, with an oily burnt metal look that adds depth and dimensionality to the figure.

After removing the pram from its packaging, I'm struck by its sheer size and detail. It's a masterpiece of engineering, with intricate textures and patterns that make it feel almost alive. I love the way the light catches the surface, casting a warm glow over the entire piece. The receiver for the pram is cleverly designed, with a subtle curve that makes it fit seamlessly into the figure.

The Growoo head is another highlight of this collectible. It's a stunning piece in its own right, with soft, expressive features that bring the character to life. I'm particularly impressed by the way the facial expression changes depending on the angle – it's almost like the child is looking directly at me. The level of detail is incredible, from the furrowed brow to the glistening eyes.

As I continue to examine the figure, I notice a little something that caught my eye earlier on – a glyph hidden in the cape. It's a clever touch that suggests there was some kind of design challenge or engineering puzzle that Sideshow had to overcome. Whatever the reason, it's clear that they've achieved something truly remarkable here.

In conclusion, Sideshow's Mandalorian Collectible Figure is an absolute masterpiece. The level of detail and craftsmanship that has gone into every aspect of this piece is simply stunning. From the ambient rifle to the Growoo head, every part of this figure has been meticulously designed to capture the essence of the character. I'm deeply impressed by Sideshow's engineering prowess, not just from a technical standpoint but also from an aesthetic one.

As someone who's spent countless hours immersed in Mandalorian costuming, it's clear that Sideshow has truly outdone themselves here. The figure is not only beautifully crafted but also incredibly poseable, with clever articulation points that allow me to recreate some of my favorite scenes from the series. I'm already planning where this piece will be displayed – next to my Gentle Giant sculpture of the child in a chair.

To Sideshow Collectibles, I extend my sincerest gratitude for sharing this incredible piece with me. Your attention to detail and commitment to quality are truly inspiring, and I have no doubt that this figure will become an iconic piece in any Star Wars collection. May your company continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in collectible engineering, and may your passion for the craft never waver.

That's all for now – thanks for tuning in, and I'll see you next time!

edging and masking absolutely lovely really nice oily burnt metal look  i'm going to pop this on herejust that just that like there are so many materials that would seem rigid and would  slowly creep over time the fact that they've found one that presumably won't is incredible like just  that engineering of that isn't is a real pain in the butt they've done an impressive thing okay uhthis is amazing i'm super into this piece i love the ambient rifle oh i built one a couple  of years ago a couple years ago or was it last year last year i built one of these last year um  okay so how does this attach to our dude ah i see it goes on before the cape so let's pull the pram  let's pull the head and we'll pull the cape there's this little glyph that this fits intolike that and then i can oh oh that goes there now i see so it all goes behind the capecome on come onthere we go oh yeahi mean i'm just going to say i'll wager whoever built this figure when they first  saw that there was going to be a relationship between the amben rifle and the cape  i'll wager that was um a bit of a design challenge all right pram goes back  we give him his head and now it's time for grogu to come to lifenope you're good okay dude the grow goo head is magnificent  that chin like soft chin that the child has the furrowed brow the glistening eyes there we gooh that's really nice they are both
