Star Wars 1/12

The Mandalorian (Bescar Armor) Silver Coating Ver.

Kit Review

Straight build + Seals

This kit is the 1/12 The Mandalorian (Beskar Armor) Silver Coating Ver., a special version where two of the standard release's armor runners have been given a silver extra finish coating. Everything else — the parts, seals, and manual — is completely identical to the standard version, so you can basically think of it as the same kit with a coating applied to some of the armor surfaces. That said, the coating definitely gives it a more premium look.

Aside from the visual upgrade on the coated armor parts, it's identical to the standard version — so you're still looking at the same somewhat limited articulation and decent joint strength. Balancing the center of gravity is still tricky, which makes dynamic posing a challenge, but you can pull off a reasonable number of in-show poses using the rifle, blaster, spear, and Darksaber.

The visual upgrade from the added coating is a nice touch, but having two runners coated bumped the price up by ¥1,800 — which feels a bit steep for the amount of coating you're actually getting. That said, if you're a Mandalorian fan, the silver coating version is probably going to be a lot more tempting than the standard release. :-)
