sideshow unboxing this is very exciting all right um hey guys adam here at tested and i have a new
uh gift from sideshow here
this is unsponsored however they did give this to me um it is a mandalorian collectible
oh i'm really excited about this all right we gotta deal with our trash here
oh really upside down that's a terrible reveal
all right oh my gosh oh dude
the ammon rifle no way all right
it is a great time to be a nerd collector of things right now uh so this is the outer box
of sideshows one quarter scale mandalorian and child one quarter scale i think it's i
don't know if it's that tall but it could be dude look at this thing also by the way full
marks for beautiful packaging this matte finish the beautiful color going on it's clear design
team spent a long time getting this right and it shows i i'm a package nerd i love good packaging
um all right now i'm wondering if there's like an annual cardboard convention where people go
and find out what the new cardboards are in the printing process i'm totally sure there is okay
what is hey here's a question i have for the comments what is the industry term for
these little tab flaps because i hate them i know they're good and useful but i hate them
but what is the term for these what are they called let me know okay so uh tip this over
when you're getting collectibles i throw out almost all of my boxes but i keep the
collectibles boxes because if you ever if you ever want to transfer ownership the boxes are by far
the best way to transport these large delicate objects because the people at sideshow have
already figured it out for you come on i'm working against both friction and air pressure okay whew
here's one for oddly satisfying
one of my favorite subreddits
all right
all right we have about a half dozen parts here oh including the pram oh
i love that smell of factory off-gassing pvc and styrofoam it's a real thing all right so i'm just
going to start pulling out parts and laying them out we've got a mandalorian arm there oh look
at that the detail in the gauntlet's gorgeous the paint is lovely okay the weathering on the gloves
gorgeous that hand pad seems just a tiny bit large to me all right let's
see oh oh we're going to save that for last those are the heads here comes another arm
beautiful
here is the body
oh gosh i really do love the smell of off-gassing plastic i shouldn't it's not survival oriented but
damn look at that is the gun removable it looks like it's almost removable okay i'm not going
to pull on it until i check um absolutely lovely every detail of the suit is here
oh yeah he's already used one of his um whatever you call those grenades the mag charge isn't that
what that's called um amazing okay so there's the it's a good stride he's got going on there
um okay now before i pull out the other stuff i'm going to pull out the base and stand them up
oh look at that that is a beautiful bottom
uh gorgeous gorgeous colors beautiful layout number 2288 of 7 500.
all right let's see how this goes this guy
is it that way it's definitely not that and it's definitely not that so it's either that
yeah that's what it is all right yeah look he's significantly turning
ooh magnetic
he looks pretty armless mean that joke more than once on this channel uh all right now we've
got a cape good god they made a resin cape oh deuteronomy wow oh you can't even put the head on
until you put the cape on okay i'm i'm just gonna point out that from a manufacturing standpoint
that's incredible
i'm not even sure what it's made of but they use it for engineering in this figure and you'll see
how it's absolutely gorgeous but i mean just that the flow of that and the fact
that it's totally rigid that's pretty amazing all right so that comes in here
come on cooperate
there we go nice oh look at that okay that right there watch there
somebody lost sleep over that my hat is off to them
he should have quit while he was ahead
yeah i know it's only dad jokes that scroll through here now if you think
it's bad what i'm saying you should hear what i'm thinking um there we go
oh gorgeous a real gunslinger pose if i've ever seen one that is a purposeful stride this man has
now if you notice over here on the cape there's a little pin here and i believe it is specifically
for the pram oh yeah look at that okay this pram is magnificent i've got a little child in there
he's got his little environment and there's a receiver for that part on the cape this paint
job this this edging and masking absolutely lovely really nice oily burnt metal look
i'm going to pop this on here
just that just that like there are so many materials that would seem rigid and would
slowly creep over time the fact that they've found one that presumably won't is incredible like just
that engineering of that isn't is a real pain in the butt they've done an impressive thing okay uh
this is amazing i'm super into this piece i love the ambient rifle oh i built one a couple
of years ago a couple years ago or was it last year last year i built one of these last year um
okay so how does this attach to our dude ah i see it goes on before the cape so let's pull the pram
let's pull the head and we'll pull the cape there's this little glyph that this fits into
like that and then i can oh oh that goes there now i see so it all goes behind the cape
come on come on
there we go oh yeah
i mean i'm just going to say i'll wager whoever built this figure when they first
saw that there was going to be a relationship between the amben rifle and the cape
i'll wager that was um a bit of a design challenge all right pram goes back
we give him his head and now it's time for grogu to come to life
nope you're good okay dude the grow goo head is magnificent
that chin like soft chin that the child has the furrowed brow the glistening eyes there we go
oh that's really nice they are both looking in the same direction they're looking towards you
oh i wish i could whistle the theme right now but i can't sideshow this is a pretty impressive
build from an engineering standpoint from an engineering standpoint alone i'm really impressed
with this piece from an aesthetic standpoint it's absolutely gorgeous i've been immersed in
mandalorian costuming for a while slowly gathering all the parts and um i've gathered enough parts
i think for almost two complete mandos but uh the goal is just one for right now and uh i can't see
a single thing out of place on this like every detail every paint detail is dead on the money
it's a lovely piece and i uh look i may display it next to my gentle giant sculpture of the child
in in the chair but i won't do that on camera that's crossing the streams
sideshow my hat is off to you guys what a beautiful piece thank you so
much for sending it over here i'm adam savage and i will see you next time
