They were first launched in early 2017, and we tend to liken them to the extremely popular Funko Pop Vinyls. The Mandalorian bounty hunter is constructed like no other: a myriad of interesting SNOT techniques are used to create vertical stripes and fractional plate offsets which makes it a satisfying and educational build.
As for Baby Yoda or the Child, it comes with the hover pod we saw in the first episodes which is a nice addition with good design. While you cannot expect much design-wise from this character, LEGO nailed the shaping and completed it with those cute ears that you see on the picture. Anyway, we can easily compare this figure with the one of Captain Phasma and you should instantly spot the differences in design and how much better the Stormtrooper is. The detailing on the helmet is incredible, LEGO used a bunch of different techniques to build the pieces together into one incredible design.

The Child, Baby Yoda, Grogu, disappoints a little. He comes in his hover pop but that only serves to make him seem too big against Mando. A static rangefinder is clipped to the right side of the helmet while the left features another printed tile decorated with a yellow striped pattern. Further printing appears on Boba's shoulder armour, showing the Krybes, a Mandalorian emblem depicting the skull of a Mythosaur in Legends continuity. This is a charming detail and I think the light bluish grey tiles look good too, although this section of the helmet is actually dark green in the movie.
The figure includes a bunch of neat printed pieces that recreate the smaller details of the costume and a cool triangular ventilation piece on the head (if that is what you call it). The helmet piece could benefit from some improvements in terms of shape but I believe they did a good job in the overall recreation of this part. The overall design here was brilliant. LEGO used several printed pieces to complete the design of the helmet which would, otherwise, be looking odd and unfinished. The color scheme was great and included a custom blaster design.

Captain Phasma goes for up to four times her original retail price which is not a bad return on your investment if you snapped her up when she was first released. I hope you have found this review informative. Let us know by liking this article and share your thoughts on the set in the comments below. Finn is frankly just a bit meh! He is just a bit basic he almost looks like a bad prototype that was never meant to have been released.
Great Deal
