BANDAI MOVIE REALIZATION STAR WARS - RONIN MANDALORIAN!

It’s Wednesday, you know what that means… ToyFarce reviews!

Today, we’re taking a look at the Ronin Mandalorian from the Movie Realization Star Wars line from Bandai!

The Movie Realization line from Bandai is that awesome line where they take characters from either Star Wars or Marvel, and give them a feudal Japan look. And oh boy, do they look great! Darth Vader as a Samurai, the Stormtroopers, Darth Maul as a demon (Oni), Boba and Jango Fett as Ronin,… They are all very cool. The latest release was the Ronin Mandalorian, which came out on the Premium Bandai website in the USA (I believe it was even exclusive to the USA, since I still haven’t seen it on my usual japanese websites).

For those unfamiliar with the line, the boxes all have that Star Wars quote inside the box. Such a nice little detail, that make you feel at home right away!

The Ronin Mandalorian figure comes with extra sets of hands (as all the other figures from that line did), a small sword and sheath, his blaster gun and his rifle. Not many accessories, but I guess he didn’t need them. A Grogu would have been nice, looking like a Japanese frog or something, but I’m staying hopeful that the IG-88 that never came out, that they teased over the last 2 years at various Comic Cons, will be reworked into IG-11 and come with it!

First impression: “Damn, that is a good looking figure.”

The cape is actually made of fabric! The previous figures had plastic capes, so that is a great improvement!

When I took that picture, I thought he looked cool, like he just took his sword out, ready for action, but now, I only see the ‘Staying Alive’ disco dance move…which turns out to be even better!

Who in their right mind would challenge those three guys?

“Hey! No disintegration! Ok, fine… maybe a little disintegration.”

BONUS: I had to rearrange the shelf so that they would all fit, and decided to add a few pics from that. Enjoy!

Only missing the white “prototype” Boba Fett and the second Samurai Darth Vader. There is also a Comic Con exclusive version of the Sandtrooper where he has a black shoulder pad instead of orange, but that’s just silly.

Admiral Ackbar and IG-88 have been shown at various comic cons for a couple of years now, but never came out, so no idea what the future holds for the line. Hopefully, more to come, but that shelf is definitely running out of space, though… #CollectorsProblems
