100% agree! I have both the mafex and the black series and to be honest the black series has replaced the mafex on the shelf. The way the light reflects off it is insane. If it had alternate hands it would be right up there.
What does the Black series have over the Mafex that you replaced it? Obviously the S.H. has weird proportions but I don't believe the Mafex has that issue?
@@JeffZ1028 Paint apps more than anything, it looks far more reflective than the mafex. That and the helmet mould looks correct vs the mafex which is far to narrow in the visor. The Mafex V1 is still stellar and is far more expressive due to the hands but the black series for price, looks and attitude is a real winner too.
@@SamAlexander14786 I saw someone in these comments mention the visor looked too wide on this figure so I'm wondering which is more accurate now. The paint is definitely much more a generic silver but I'm not sure that's accurate to season 3 Mando? I remember the armor looking darker than before and more polished as well. Either way, it looks great for the price.
@@JeffZ1028 The visor on the black series looks more accurate then either version currently. A lot of the colour of the armour in season 3 was also due to lighting. If you put this in darker light it'll look very accurate.
@@SamAlexander14786 No I'm pretty sure it was due to them making the armor much more reflective and polished for season 3. The armor has never been a plain silver, it always had an extremely dark look to it and that's under direct daylight as well. The mudhorn signet on his shoulder plate is a regular silver and you can see just how dark in comparison the rest of the armor actually is. A gloss coat or two would help add that more mirror-like reflection to the Black Series figure but I wouldn't expect a paint app from a Black Series to look as nice as more expensive figures but its definitely not accurate when compared to everything else on the market that goes for that dark chrome finish.
This is my favorite Black Series figure of all time. The sculpt is incredible. The articulation is finally good. I took a hand drill to that little notch on the side of his jetpack so the Amban Rifle can slot in. I put his beskar spear on the other side. He has all his goodies and is looking insane on the shelf.
That fig is quite nice. By price that Black Series one is a steal for the quality.
I agree! Thanks Dave!
Just got back from Japan with my figuarts mando. Had no clue they revamped the black series one so much. Great video!
I have mine coming this week. That black series is dope. His knife is held in his right boot too
I just got the new Mando, I found him when they were first bringing him out onto the shelf at GameStop last Friday 01/05/2024. I’m keeping him in the box 😮. I’m impressed with it!
Really nice final shot and brilliant lighting! The reflections on the mando figs always stand out! 🔥
Great video Jared, my new mando just arrived from Pulse. About to open him up. What I always loved most about the figuarts was the chrome shine to the armor, but this black series looks like they improved that too. Fun seeing your photo process too as always!
Great video! Just got mine the other day. Excited about it just for the soft goods cape.
Great review and excellent shot as usual ! I ordered mine last week, can't wait to get some shots done !
Hey Jared I just ordered this figure cause of this video! Great video love your stuff ❤
Hey @sirdork730. Thank you very much for the invite to whatnot i hadnt even had it downloaded 10 minutes and i had already found some amazing deals! I really enjoy the content on the channel!
Could you do a video about maybe an easter photoshoot? Thank you again.
That is so awesome to hear! Thanks for using my link!
I definitely will need to do something Easter related this April!
@@sirdork730 Why not try something with a Jujutsu Kausen Figure or MasterChief or any fig doing an easter hunt?
I thing the Black Series takes the cake! SHF dropped the ball with a few details for a 100+ US$ figure. But all my money is on the S02 Mafex coming out this year.
After watching your video on the figuarts one, I got it right away and loved it. I’ve had this black series one for a little longer and I honestly love them both equally. Both are super fun and really good to take photos with. They’re great.🙌
I love this! I’m feeling the same way right now. Two great Mando figs from two different worlds. It’s literally a Mando renaissance 🤣
@@sirdork730 Haha. Definitely. Idk what it is about this guy. Everytime a new rendition of him comes out, I’m so compelled to get it. Lol.
@@bputulin1 trust me, I definitely understand 🤣
He arrived 3 days ago and he is the best Mando, I have Figuarts and the Model Kit version of Mando and the MK was my version. Damn now this Black Series has me going I dont need to go imports. This is the way!
If you are cool with customization, get the bandai model kit. Its amazing. I got the grey one to paint the metallic armor myself.
Excellent final image mate. Nice review too. They both look really cool 👍👍
Thanks so much Paul!!
I’m currently buying the fig from Newbury comics!
Sick comparison and review dude!
This figure was a day one preorder for me. He did not disappoint. I always enjoy your work . Thank you..
This is an awesome video, man! I got the new Mando last week and he blew me away.
Really appreciate it dude! 🙇♂️ I agree this fig is so good!
@@sirdork730 of course! I don't know how I wasn't subscribed to your channel before. I am now! I'm working on a Diorama for this Mando that I am excited about.
I just ordered this but in the meantime, I got the Mines of Mandalore version with the plastic cape and it's still damn awesome. I bought extras for parts and put the new helmet on the brown armored Mando and it really elevated that figure. I also swapped the hands, gun, feet, and modded the gunbelt and bandolier to fit and it worked quite well. Just need to repaint the boots to match the newer figure and I'll have a really decent season 1 brown armor Mando.
As for the comparisons, I prefer the Mafex Mando to Figuarts, but the new Black series is NEARLY Mafex level in terms of sculpt and actually passes it in some ways.
Dang you did some awesome modifications!!! So glad you’re having a great time with the fig 🔥🔥
@@sirdork730 Thanks! I honestly think it's a decent figure in general, but aa few mods really makes it match the new figure quite well. I'm kinda hoping Hasbro makes it regardless. Many newer figures like Axe Woves, the Death Watch Commando and the Fleet Commander have very similar parts to the season 1 Mando aside from missing dents that I think they could easily make it.
@@straker454 oh yeah definitely! 🤘 I can’t wait for the Imperial beskar commando figs! Hopefully they will be soon 😆
@@sirdork730 I'm also looking forward to seeing a Moff Gideon in his power armor as a figure.
@@sirdork730 BTW, I don't know yet if it's the same on the Glavis Ringworld figure, but on the Mines of Mandalore figure...has anyone noticed that the first bomb on the left side of his belt is removable?
That 'crappie ' custom cape is great! One of the greatest custom capes ever done by man❤😂 the black series is second to none.
Ha thanks man!! 🤣 maybe it looks worse up close. I appreciate it!!
Yeah I agree I like that black series because of the cape made out of cloth instead of plastic has more better poses with it.
You helped me make my purchase only thing that does not come from the beskar spear…. it’s so hard to get a shiny Mando with a pistol, the spear, the jet pack, and the dark saber
A Beskar spear would be the best thing to tie it up!
i was so excite to get it.
i’ve been perfectly content with my season 1 red box mando and managed not to be tempted by the dozens of repaints over the years. it was one of my first black series and i actually like the mismatched armor “mythos” look. however after not seeing a single bad review of this figure, i can’t resist picking this one up. a historic moment for my collection, having 2 mandos now. this could be dangerous 😂
Uh oh! The multiple mando collection itch has begun! 🤣 hope you live the fig!
The blade on the darksaber also unclips from the hilt so you can hang the saber on his belt behind his cape. there is a small hook there on his belt.
if you have a previous figure with his rifle, you can also clip the rifle onto the back above the jetpack holes. there is a separate hole for that.
if you have a Boba figure where you have the fire coming out of the jetpack thrusters, those fire accessories can also be put into Mandos jetpack thrusters, you will see the holes are wider.
I've never been a big fan of the proportions of figuarts mandalorian figures, preferring Mafex for that. They still have the best original series Boba Fett releases.
Good review, still prefer Mafex and sh figuarts for better articulation.
Mine came in the mail today and it it awesome 😊❤🎉
I’d picked up obi wan and the palace guards for the soft goods they came with but for the price this black series is hitting all the right notes
Without having one in my hand it looks like the only thing new is the paint job and the cloth cape. I do want to get one to see for myself, but I'm not yet convinced it's all that and a bag of chips. I have the Mafex 2.0 on pre-order, hoping it doesn't dissapoint!
Awesome Fig the bigger Head gives of the feeling there is someone under that helmet
Just had mine arrive today, and am blown away! My ONLY problem, and it’s really more like a tiny gripe, is how the wrist gauntlets look off. It’s dang near perfect though!
I thought tge same, but they actually swivel, so can turn them more to the side. They look like a molded one piece with the whole firearm, but actually seperate and swivel :)
Damn this looks legit i might just get this over the new Mafex since the price range is a crazy difference I’m definitely going with the new black series Mando
This video was great Jared and I think ima pick this guy up!
Carlos!! Thanks so much dude! 🙇♂️
I pre ordered this months ago and finally got it about a week ago. I don’t own any figuarts figures yet but this one has blown me away and I haven’t even opened it yet. Can’t wait to get some shots. Thanks for the comparison video!
-Nerfherder Photography.
Hey Nerfherder! Thanks so much dude!
I prefer SHF, posing and articulation better~~
Awesome review man! you earned a Sub
I don’t collect black series figures but I might just have to get this guy
I really don't do Black Series anymore. I did pick it up
Can’t have a final verdict till the Mafex drops
It’s true! Can’t wait!
My figure is inbound now!
idk if you noticed but there was a blaster in the box
Yes I noticed that later in the video 🤣
Oh snap okay I'm confused. Went to order the Black series but on Entertainment earth, there are 2 versions and looks literally exact. One is Glavis Ringworld and the other is mines if mandalore. Do you know the differences? Which do you have?
Hey! The black series don’t come with Grogu unfortunately. But you want the Glavis Ringworld one, this one has the soft cape! Thanks for watching!
what's the difference between this one and the "Mines of Mandalore" version?
To be honest, I have no clue 🤣 the mines of Mandalore seems one seems like the same figure minus some things like the cloth cape
@@sirdork730 It has a plastic cape? Screw that then, my decision's been made! Thanks!
Don't feel bad about accidentally overlooking and tossing out the blade & blaster....I'm always so excited to get my microwave dinners into the microwave, I toss out the box and forget how much time I need to nuke dinner!😂
Ha!! I do that same thing also 🤣 I appreciate it!!
The chest plate on the new SHF just looks off to me
So both don't Come with Grogu correct? I know I saw a few figures come with him but wasn't sure. Looking to buy my first Mando figure.
Yeeeeaaah maaaximooo like and a greeting
I can't wait to get my hands on him as long as the usual bills don't interfere. Finally a cloth cape after 3-4 years waiting for Hasbro to get around to it, I think.
Heck yeah man! Hope you love it!
@@sirdork730 Oh I'll enjoy it quite a lot! 😃🤟
There is a Walmart version without the jet pack named Mandelorian : Caves of Mandelore
have you ever checked out the BANDI model kits, I think they are best
Here’s hoping they do the same and upgrade the original Mando… that more worn in armor look is just as badace…
This fuiger is not being sold in Australia
5:36 look at the elbows, I think BS is far better than SH
Wait until u get ur hands on mafex version 2 mando
I do think they’ve made the visor a bit too wide (maybe) but oh well
Hi Sirdork! Would you recommend using ring light for toy photography?
Many thanks
I believe any light can be used for toy photography. It's really up to you to use what you have at your disposal.
IMO, the SHF looks like a slim person so maybe thats why the proportion looks off.
But when I look at the BS one, it makes me feel like looking at Boba Fett figure but with mando color 🤔
Not gonna lie, season 1 beskar frio shf still holds well against all others 😅😂
It really does! Still love that fig!
$24 masterpiece 🔥
Its a tight slap for mafex tho 😅
Now only if I can find him in stores like everyone else but Dallas is never stocked with anything 😒
Relese date?
Not the first time black series has outdone sh
This is strange....mine didn't came with a jetpack
I have every single version of SHF Mando(Non-Veskar, S2, S3) and Mafex Mando ver 1.0, and just got the new BS one. I have to say, Hasbro really did it this time. One thing I absolutely HATE about SHF is his cape. The material is way too bad. Like, I opened it and left on my desk for 2 days and I can see it's wearing out. And in terms of soft clothes, Hasbro always wins against Japanese companies. Not to mention that the articulations are not too different. Sure, SHF ones look prettier, but I think BS one is way to go.
I just got rid of all my black series The Mandalorian collection, all 32 pieces, I only want this, nothing else...
Have the Mafex Mando, didnt get the Figuarts Mando as I just think every Figuarts Mando has something about it that destroys the figure! Usually I love Figuarts aesthetic and have no idea why this one character is difficult for them to get right, when they usually blow everyone else out of hyperspace! ;-) But then again, Mafex’s Boba Fetts rocked while IMO the Figuarts Fett was mediocre. For both of these characters various figures, I felt Black Series was better than Figuarts, while Mafex was the winner. Maybe it’s just the helmeted Mandalorian designs that for some reason Figuarts can’t seem to pull off. They do IMO always make the helmet too small, where a real human has a big noggin and needs a big helmet to cover it. Mafex got this and tho initially their Fetts looked weird but in person Dang! Works of Art and second to none! I do think this Black Series Mando looks even better than the Mafex, and always preferred the proportions of Black Series Mando. When considering price, the Black Series IMO wins hands down (gloves down? Gauntlets down?). Now the newest Figuarts Grogu is a different story…those little articulated ears are magical and they got that cute little fella looking amazinnngggg and I want him so bad it’s making me consider a Mando just for Grogu - wonder why they aren’t selling Grogu by himself like they used to??? (Or am I being senile?)
Love your takes on these!! All very great points!! And yes the new Grogu is absolutely fantastic! The articulated ears!!!!
Of course, Hasblo couldn't give us this epic Mandalorian figure right from the start. 3, 4, 5 figures in, and now they do this? Hasbro gets most collectors to quadruple dip? So evil!
I still hate that black series seems to only use single jointed knees and elbows. If they have double jointed ones I've never seen 'em. Which I don't own many of them so that could be why.
The older clones have doubled jointed knees and elbows but the elbow guard really hendered the articulation
i cant stand the "Ball" joints on SHF figures (look at the wrist), ruins the look.
Until you put them side by side I didn’t think the positives of the black series stand out so much
I wasn’t convinced when I saw this figure, but you sold me. Good review and shots as always
What bro he looks amazing you should’ve got it with just the promo pictures
I think you just sold me on this…gonna be the first Black Series figure in a LONG time for me haha. Really does look great though, gonna have to track down a Grogu too 😅 great video!
Actually wild to see how similar it looks to the Figuarts at such a lower price point. Great review!
I’m thinking the same thing! Thanks a lot!
No way it’s better than the mafex one and sh figuarts for that price. Edit (nah bro don’t defend the sh figuarts lol it does look off compared to the black series
Of course the Star Wars Black Series is better, Hasbro should of started a 6" line in 1995, McFarlane did.
First
So...... which do you prefer?
@@JeffZ1028 black series
honestly black series is better cause shfigurarts just doesnt look right with the arms and legs it's probably because of all of the movement
Black series is way better mine just came in today
It’s better 😅
Idont have money for the figure but its ok.... its ok😢
😜😜🥝👄
Black Series has better chest while the figuarts has the better helmet. BS helmet looks too wide and too tall from above the visor to the top of the helmet while the shf chest is too small. I guess it depends on budget which figure you’d want to get
goofy ah helm
$30 are these deluxe figures? 🙄🙄🙄🙄
Not in uk, normal price
Figures arms look unnatural to me.
Black series one is definitely better…. In my opinion. Lol
I can only find him as pre-order. Other sites say April 2024.
