This is the way.
Transformers Collaborative (Transformers X Star Wars: The Mandalorian)
- Thread starter TriBlurr
- Start date
It does look like it might share some engineering with Blurr, particularly in the legs, but with an entirely new mold. Also, the Pulse entry says it's 7.5" tall, Blurr is under 6". More likely it's a Voyager scale-up in the same way Kingdom Tigatron is similar to Kingdom Cheetor...sharing a lot of design elements, but not just a retool.

I've been liking the recent trend of the Collaboration figures being their own characters instead of "Robot Luke Skywalker," but since all Mandolorians share the same "face" more-or-less, this one works either way. If you want it to be robotic Din Djarin, it can be. If you want it to just be a random Cybertronian that has a head modeled after the traditional Mandalorian helmet, it can be that, too.
Now, someone out there with the correct set of skills, digibash this into Cybertronian mode Hooligan!

Interestingly the box just calls it The Mandalorian, which may be new to Collaborative (existing character turning into their vehicle?). But to your point, it could jut as well be A Mandalorian...
I can see that. At least in this case, it's not a detriment.
He doesn't fit in at all! He's not terrible!
It's Grogu piloting a mech suit.
The Takara Millennium Falcon was okay. And the Death Star Vader.
Anyway, this? Hasbro "make silver or grey areas without a horrible, horrible finish" challenge? Impossible. Some shiny paint ala Gigawatt would have *really* helped here, especially at the price point.
It'll be a lot better than Hasbro's other Mandalorian crossover with BopIt, which believe it or not actually is a real thing, and in use looks like someone abusing a baby Yoda. It inspired this.
But I am surprised that I don't see any obvious Grogu pairing. I'd expect at least a mini-figure and a Grogu targetmaster would have been awesome. Ah, well. Still better than my crossover:

Honestly, i would have much preferred the Razor Crest over the N-1. Though I do admit the N-1 have never really been a favourite SW fighter design for me.
Its a good figure though.

I do love Death Star Vader. There were a few decent ones in the mix, to be sure.
I really, really wish they had given it a separate name, as there's no reason a Cybertronian COULDN'T become a Mandalorian, in universe (allowing for the crossover in general) since they're all adopted anyway. Much like Stardrive and the Space Knights in IDW.
For colours, would have loved a bit more dark gray to split up the lighter gray. I'm interested to see what Toyhax will do for adding detailing.

$55 though.
The base figure is cool, but why is no one giving props to the TREMENDOUSLY novel integrating of the flight stand? Instead of a useless accessory, the flight stand becomes the cape and a shield.
That just so novel I can't help but not love it.

I guess I do prefer that to the rumored "Mandrake". He can just be The Other Mandalorian.
I mentioned it in the front page article I think, because that was the thing that most caught me off guard about it. Neat idea. (Do you mean you can't help but love it?)
