The Vintage Collection Rescue Set should have included an alternate head for the Dark Trooper – it leaves this Dark Trooper being very scene specific and doesn’t allow to display pre-destruction. The small piece that looks like the end of the spear is actually used to fill the hole in the gauntlet when not using the fire effects (but you only get one).
Moff Gideon has a new cloth cape. The Mandalorian has new paint apps and includes the spear + fire effects. Grogu has binders (handcuffs). The box acts as a display piece, but thats about it. Minor updates and a new Dark Trooper.

I love this box set and hope it will be available in quantities of the Emperor last year. I so much would love to get it before it sells out. My only irk are the gauntlets and I wish they were either interchangeable or differently designed. Does Morak Din Djarin head fit onto this Sculpt? Also hope that visor will be mostly straight this time, the misprint / skew on TVC basic figure is atrocious and took me months to find one with relatively straight visor print.
I’m sorry but this isn’t the scale for Hot Toys style action effects. The peg holes for flame and whistling birds are way too big at this scale and ruin the appearance of mandos arms.
Wow its a nice set hasbro did well on this one. And they also know how to make money.
A very nice set..since its a pulse release I will give the second market a go..great review..cheers Tim🍺🍺🍻
Nice review. I really like the new cape for the Mandalorian but I prefer the plastic cape for Moff Gideon. I'm not a fan of soft goods for action figures and I like them when they are really good like Mando's cape. The whistling birds look fantastic the mando fire looks very good and the fire for the dark trooper isn't very impressive
I really want a Din with whisling birds, clean armor, rocker ankles and soft cape. The truth is that Hasbro set the standards very high with the new Vader and it's hard to impress us now 😀
Where did you get this from
really cool set, was a sceptic at first but now Im excited to get my hands on one
Awesome review. I have a question. Is it worth the extra S&H to get this set? I am so disappointed in the stores here in the US with preorders thus far. Boba Morak, Stormtroooper Nevarro, Axes Wolves, and etc. Thanks to your review, I am seriously debating on ordering. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice you’d be willing to share.
Fantastic review.
Nice catch on the lack of VC Branding. Hope it's not significant.
The Dark Trooper looks like it just has part of a twist tie around its neck. Are you sure that wasn't part of the packaging?!? 😀
Hello BB, long time viewer first time commenter… the little spear tip fills in the whistling birds gauntlet hole . Wish they had given us “2”… couldn’t agree more that they should have added a second dark trooper head. Keep up the great work…. Keith j.
Hey Tim, question for next weeks Q&A, do you think Hasbro will bring the selfie series to the UK? I know it’s not for everyone but I for one am desperate for this, would pay more than Hasbro even charging to get one 🙂 – it really annoys me how they only offer this to customers in the states 🙁
As always keep up the good work, will see you at Echo at weekend 🙂
Is the hip articulation on Din the same as his single card versions or are they the new ball jointed hips?
if star wars keeps going on this route i'm done…i guess that will save me money…repaints and same, same
No Removable helmet on mando? Fail.
Great review Bossk! I really want this, but I’m not sure if I need it? A very fun looking set!👍🏻
That’s too bad it just didn’t have an alternative head. Damage kind of ruins any versatility. Too bad they didn’t do the inner package smarter. Could have made a half decent play set. Looked junky when u took it out. Characters look nice, but for basically repaints and all combined just too much.
Wow!! Such an amazing set! Thanks for sharing. Hope I didn’t miss the preorder yet
I’m literally salivating over this mando 🥵🥵🥵
how many did buy the usual one to keep one to open and one just in case?
Fingerprints galore on that dark trooper – need gloves to handle that one.
Is the playset itself all just cardboard? if so what a ripp off campared to the other playsets
