Hot Toys Bo-Katan Kryze The Mandalorian Unboxing & Review 

*PSA* Regarding my statements around abusive comments. I have seen some comments saying that ‘for the price point’ abusive comments are just fine. No. Constructive criticism is completely different and of course I have no issue with that as my entire channel is based off this in my reviews. Abusive and personal attacks however are the complete opposite. They do not come from a place of respect for the artists, the actors and painters. They do not help improve the product. I hope this makes my comments in the video clearer.

I hope her appearance in Mando S3 does not change too much!

Hi Justin. Ever since you posed your zombie Deadpool with his sword through his zombie teeth I've been enjoying more of your end-of-clip poses. Bo-Katan's railing jump is another winner! Thanks Justin.

Honestly, other than the single jointed elbows I think this is a pretty much perfect release. Say what you will about the sculpt but I think it’s spot on to her live action appearance. I’m sure a company will make an animated version, potentially Limtoys or something?

I have this figure arriving today and I’m super excited for it! Even though she has limited range and motion in terms of posing I don’t mind it at all. I love this character in the Mandalorian series and I hope to see her character take back her leadership as the Mandalorian leader for her people. Another great video Justin and thanks for another review where I go to when it comes to purchasing my Hot Toys figures.

I laughed so much when he said Lord Farquaad

Beautiful figure! Nobody does armor, realistic battle damage, and weathering like Hot Toys!

Agreed, I think that head sculpt is spot on

I agree Justin. I think the likeness is spot on! People just need something to complain about to justify not buying it

Beautiful figure Justin! I had to get her man as she's my favorite in the series! I'm so happy the new season includes her more! I pulled the trigger on her so can't wait to get her! Thanks for the review! ❤

Great figure. Great review. We got alot of collectors that vision must be less that 20/20..😂.. Headsculp is on point. 8.5 on the figure. this figure wasn't even in my must haves. But now I might pic it up.

That last pose is awesome

I will pick this figure when it goes on sale at sideshow as it is still available. Bo Katan is becoming a major character in season 3.

Thanks for the helpful review. Agreed that the head sculpt looks perfect to me. Going to preorder it right now. Keep up the good work!

She’s so amazing 🤩 cool review Justin 👍🏻

I love your voice it makes the videos very professional feeling :)!

In my opinion, everything looks fantastic. Headsculpt, too.

Man people will complain about anything you can give them a plate of gold and they will complain that it’s not platinum.

Great video Justin. Canceled my preorder a while back for this but seeing how damn good it is thinkin I might have to rethink this one.

I think the sculpting of the head is perfect and cannot see anything wrong with it at all for who ever did the sculpting did an amazing job but there are some nasty people out there who just like to say horrible things just to cause distress for they would probably say horrible things about the art in the Cysteine Chapel but your videos are great and it's by watching your reviews that help me decide whether to buy certain figures but you do a great job at reviewing these items and I look forward to watching some more from you.

I agree people are clueless about the skill it takes to get to this point in terms of likenesses. Such hyperbole if each and every sculpt isn't a somehow "perfect" likeness! Hell even way back with the prequels they cyberscanned the actors for the likenesses and there are a bunch of reasons those figures didn't look great regardless. And obviously people haven't paid attention to how strong/masculine Sackhoff's features are and how the hairstyle accentuates the jaw and so on. John Cena my arse. Go do it yourself and see how many years/decades it takes you! Does anyone even remember what the standard was before HT came along?!! Anyway looks great to me. As for stumpy legs, the blue armour jumping forward optically makes it look more bottom heavy though the legs are fine. And it's where they sat on the actor. Look how much Boba's proportions change depending on the colours and armour/flight suit options. The black geared dark boots making him look stubbier than others. And SW has generally been (until recently) about things like daggy old armour lots of mix and match asymmetry and say shoulder pads hanging down and off the shoulder like original Fett, not huge and bulky like some superhero thing or a gridiron/NFL player. So those low shin guards are very SW to me. Hell, original Fett's knee bits kept popping off during shooting due to their placement! Anyway. Thanks for the review!

I think her eyes need to be little bigger and the hair a bit redder, but otherwise a good looking sculpt.

I love your videos very informative

This was a great video, Justin Do you think it would be cool if Hot Toys makes an Ahsoka figure that looks like rosario dawson from the Mandalorian? If they do make it, would you get it and compare it with the Clone Wars Ahsoka? Keep up with the great videos!

Great review, as always. The poses at the end were fantastic.

Awesome review. Cant wait for chrome mando!!

the head sculpt looks great in my opinion but nothing beats a mandalorian helmet on a mandalorian figure

I do agree 100%, this figure is absolutely stunning, yes she does look a little stocky but I’m ok with that and besides side-to-side pics with this and the on screen appearance it’s super accurate. I’m a bit like Obiwan when it comes to Mandalorian figures as I have 6 Lego mandalorians, the Lego buildable Boba Fett, Black Series ROTJ Boba Fett and Death Watch Mandalorian. I am hoping to get the Black Series repainted Boba Fett helmet and the dark saber

This figure is beautiful! And that head sculpt is exquisite 😍! She looked fantastic standing next to Mando. But... those single bend elbows. 😩 I passed on the Armorer because of it but it won't be enough to stop me this time. Thanks for the great review Justin. I was holding out until I heard what you had to say. Keep up the great work. 👍

that mantle over the railing pose is fantastic!

It looks way better here then in the promotional photos

“Now you may be thinking, Justin you noob.” 😂😂😂

Dear Justin I appreciate your video and all your work. With all respect strongly disagree about your comment about the headsculpt..making the statement.. dont forget the human being doing it....They improved the product a little bit compared to preorder pictures I give you that...but for something sooo expensive given the quality delivered on scarlett witch..black widows..gal gadots etc etc we dont expect less than perfect likeness. Katie Z a gorgeous woman hardly seen there. The marvel legends bo katan looks more than her than this expensive product that is expected to have quality control people stopping poor products to release. So lets not defend these people they should do better. Well need to exhibit always with the helmet or with a plastic bag in the head🤣 not fair for paying customer. Thanks

Love your take on the head sculpt. People are so quick to bash other peoples hard work. I think the head sculpt looks fantastic!

Can you believe that the actress, Kate Sackoff, who played Bo-Katan is the same who voiced the character from Clone Wars and Rebels?! I was psyched!

Justin, I really enjoy your videos! You're my go to guy for figure reviews. Entertaining, informative and I enjoy your puns! Even if there is a figure I know I won't pick up, I'll watch for the entertainment.

I for one enjoy your videos. They're not the loudest or anything, but soothing and relaxing.That's what toy collecting is to me. A relaxing hobby focusing on the details and sculpt and accesories. Hope you keep on keeping on! Can't wait for the next video!

Headsculpt is great, Justin!

I have no idea what the one semi-open let hand if for, but if you commit a little blasphemy and cut the pinky from the palm, she's able to hold the darksaber. No idea why Hot Toys didn't design it like this from the get-go

It’s kinda a bummer that they didn’t include the Darksaber for her 😢

Hey Justin, do you think Hot Toys should make a new Bo Katan based on The Mandalorian season 3. If that does happen could you do a comparison between the 2 figures seeing that she has longer hair in season 3

love it

Another fantastic review. This figure looks great and the headsculpt looks really nice. I'm a huge fan of your reviews - I've made a number of purchases based on your thoughtful assessments of figures - but please stop using the "remember, real humans design these collectibles, so go easy on them" argument when defending perceived poor quality work. I love this headsculpt, but a bad sculpt or design is a bad sculpt or design. The prices of these figures continues to rise, and if people are paying $250, $350, $400 or more on a collectible, they have a right to have certain quality expectations. Cheers, and thanks for another quality review.

I believe the collectors meant the prototype looks like Cena. Not the final product. That comments may be important feedback to hot toys they have to improve it. Imagine Noone would say anything. Than maybe the final product wouldn't look that good

Always a blast watching your reviews Justin! Your videos actually introduced me to Hot Toys and now I own the Mark 85, Endgame Cap, Ahsoka, and now Bo! I couldn't agree more with her holsters they really are a tight fit! Keep up the amazing work!

Hey Justin! Great review, serious question tho! Im torn between This Bo-Katan and Rosario Ahsoka. Between the two which should I pick up first?

After watching this video I bought her! Replaced the body with a Phicen/Tbleague, her legs in the original body do look stubby 😂

Really looking forward to getting this, I personally love the head sculpt and excellent posing Justin 👌🏻

People are insane. My local “ comic book style “ store has this Hot Toy. I put her down on layaway. I’m beyond stoked to get her. I LOVE KATIE and I LOVE BO. So it’s a best of both worlds for me personally. But the hate? WHYYYYY

I do think the hair color could be a bit more lighter and just a smidge closer to red, but other than that I do think it’s a phenomenal sculpt. Maybe in person it looks lighter?

yessurrr finally!

The head sculpt don't bother me. The elbows though. Why? Why? Why? That's frustrating. Nice job on the video as usual!

I agree with you brother Justin, there is nothing wrong with that head sculpture! And all the whining & adolescent /sophomoric comments toward Katie’s face is just ridiculous. Gfolks ba e some serious issues🙄

Why didn't they just make the nameplate magnetic so you could swap it back and forth? That's what I'd do! That head sculpt is a 9.8 Starbucks out of 10.

i'm a bit late, but youve sold me on this and a few other mando figures. i'm just getting into 1/6 scale starwars figures. thanks justin

Single bend elbows on a dual wielding weapons character is pretty dumb on HT part. Also, now I can’t unhear the Wiggles. Thanks for that 😂

Head sculpt looks much better in video than it did in the production shots- Great review!

The 1/6 community has become extremely toxic.. considering the majority of collectors were most likely bullied in high school for collecting things like this you’d think they’d be nicer to eachother, I see people regularly post their own personal customisations and then ripped apart immediately on the hot toys fb group

Am I the only one who takes off the name plates from all Star Wars figures? I just think it gives a better aesthetic personally. Obviously a few can’t be removed but if I can I do.

Great looking figure. I fully believe Bo-Katan is actually Obi-Wan and Satine's Daughter. Best way to hide something is in plain sight. Her Hair is a Dead giveaway.

Hi great review as usual! Can anyone help please I bought this great figure but sadly can't use the head sculpt swap as the helmeted head seems to be stuck! Thanks .

Aesthetically this is great. But the single joint stuff does bug me lol. It sucks for posing, and it just seems like every female character they do this with.

The likeness is off on the head sculpt. Hot toys needs to re-sculpt this potrait. She way prettier than this ugly sculpt!

With the nameplate, I decided to scan it and print out a replica of it on card stock. Then I cut it out and stuck the replica to the base with a bit of double stick tape. Then I put the nameplate the figure came with in a zip lock plastic bag to protect it. I don't like the idea of sticking a name plate permanently onto a base. I'm not happy with Hot Toys decision to do this.

I was lucky enough to actually meet Katie Sackoff in person and had my photo Witt her at comic con , I can confirm that is accurate head sculpt her 😎 in my opinion anyway

Hey justin, there's a mando cosplay group im in called the mandalorian mercs, they raise money for charity and stuff and they are all over in different regions and you can find your own just make a profile in the forums, meet people near you and make your own mandalorian armor

Why on earth would you need a nameplate for the display base AND the railing?

Is it just me or does bo Katan looks different in the mandalorian and the book of boba fett?

Damn. I think I found a new hobby shhheeeeeesh Also do these retire?

It will change again in Mando S3 so you can buy the new version which will have a special accessory hahah !

Love hot toys, don't have any myself as they are expensive, but they are so worth it.

You made me laugh out loud with your wiggles comment. You sound alright, love watching your reviews. I agree, I think all the mandolin head sculpts are insanely good. There’ll always be haters, keep up the good work. I certainly can’t afford to buy all the figures I want but you certainly have helped me with figures I have purchased. So thank you for the advice you never knew you gave me👍🏼👍🏼. Ps, which wiggle would you be and when can we expect to see you in 1/6 scale, I hope you can laugh it off and keep going, no one is forcing those losers to watch your channel

Why pleather u asked? Hahahaha, easy money and reason for them make reissue/2.0.

I was waiting for your review before buying, I’m on the fence I want one but I’ll probably wait for a sale or a 2.0 release.. Great review mate you captured the figure and facial sculpt really well!.

With the way bodies are now, there is no excuse for single bends at the elbows and knees.

As long as I get that version of the face then I’ll be happy.

Hi Justin! How are you? I’ve been waiting for this figure for a while and I can’t wait to get mine. Seems like perfect timing with Mando season 3 coming up in a few months. Is she as heavy as the Heavy Mandalorian? I kind of hoped they would show her in the Throne Room in Mandalore or something like that. Her headsculpt is ok, it does look like the character. Her jetopack should have been removable. I agree there could have been more sculpted pieces on the figure. The backdrop is ok, I think she would have looked different in front of a unique backdrop. Why not make her have a throne since that’s what she wants so badly? I do like the way she looks as you’ve posed her flying around. Thanks so much for the video 😊💎

I think what is setting off the leg proportions is the giant helmet

F the haters, Justin. Fruit salad IS yummy yummy.

My personal opinion is the hair should have been a little bit more red

I just wish there was a little more red in the head sculpt hair.

Single bend arms is some soosootoys level of stupid. But damn this armor looked great in the show and it looks great here. Maybe a body swap can work. Hot toys had to get the outfit on the body, which means it can come off for a body swap.

I remember the fuss when she first appeared on-screen! The film makers had the audacity to give her a...breast plate!

Except the elbow joints, she is perfect!

I think the sculpt looks better than the proto.

Got my one but look good but feel bad took hard job put head on tray two not damaged any of outfit very stiff gon keep helmet on but just feel very stiff not one best body ? Bad they put under suit but this just feel stiff

Just realized her blasters are based on two 1911 handguns, very cool detail

Meant double jointed elbow joints! lol

The wiggles ! 🤣🤣🤣. Dude that’s just funny. 2 Blasters, Yummy Yummy. 🤣🤣

I think her hair should be more red….

looks great :o)

Regarding the review, I don't get the hate for the headsculpt either. It's 100% Katee Sackhoff. Can't wait to get mine. Loved the review as always.

I had reservations originally but seeing the figure on the turn table has changed my opinion, it looks amazing

I don’t think she looks stumpy. In the show katee looks a little shorter because the armor bulks her up a bit and so maybe it throws the proportions off, but the figure looks perfect to me

I just realized Bo-Katan should be like 60 years old during the mandalorian.... time flys. looks stunning for a 60 year old.

I’m very thankful for your reviews. Blogger photos tend to be misleading and in hand, the sculpt looks better than the promo pics. There’s something that doesn’t quite make it a 10/10 but it’s good enough. I am very annoyed though with the single jointed elbows. It’s 2022. There should be no reason why inferior technology is used in these figures. I passed on armorer cause of that. I don’t think I’ll pass on this but it’s very annoying. Makes me wonder if someone will try to replace the body for a custom

Totally agree with your comments on the pleather, I hate it (lost count of how many headphone earpieces have disintegrated on me)! I just received some Angelus Acrylyc leather Matt finisher no. 620 and dabbed a bit on an inconspicuous pleather boot to verify compatibility. If it does not cause any issues I plan to coat all the pleather on my Hot Toys for longevity (I do not yet have peeling on my figures, but do not wish to wait and find out).

When you said the chest plate isn’t completely flat, I wasn’t expecting you to be referring to the paintwork until you said there’s some silver paint chipping 😅😅

Super cool fig but they messed up the hair.

That was the butteriest "HELLO, LADIES & GENTLEMEN" I've ever heard 🎤😎
