Yeah that Mando is rough. Like Pedro Pascal after being an alcoholic for a few years and not showering lately.

Got the Misty and Cav Stormtroopers, too. These Stormtrooper specialists are awesome. Love getting this team. Cav in particular looks so cool. Agreed that the knife sheathes could have a tighter grip, but at least he can hold the knives well. Is his left arm a droid arm?

Yeah, we definitely need a new unmasked Mando head. I've seen some folks just swap their MCU Reed onto the Mando body, but the expression on Reed just doesn't match. Hope we get a new, non-wet or helmet hair Pedro sculpt; maybe in the M&G line

He was the melee specialist, but I don't remember them addressing the arm.

yeah I don't think they ever made a big deal about it, but Cav's left arm was always drawn as a droid arm since their first appearance.

Always thought it was a little strange when they had that one issue of some weird talking space raccoon and his little tree friend steal his metal arm and try to pawn it, but I suppose that's not too crazy for Star Wars.

Got around to opening the Plo and Wolffe 2 pack (major shoutout again to @docsilence for hooking me up). Could I have waited until later this year like most other people? Sure, but I'd have probably been even more insufferable. I love me some Plo, and I've been wanting this version of him for a while.
This new Wolffe is a definite improvement body-wise. I liked the gnarly scar on the old one; this one tones it down a bit, but the eye itself is more detailed. The helmet, while a tad smaller, fits a little more snugly and helps hide the chin a little more. And the articulation is obviously a big improvement. I only wish they'd find a way to not let the elbow and knee pads hinder the joints with the thick plastic strap.
Plo is less of an improvement, but still looks really nice. Always dug this color scheme on him, and the slightly darker wash on his skin brings out a little more of the sculpt. The black mask is a nice contrast, even if I prefer the kinda metallic, copper-y deco of the original. They painted his nails red too, which is... fun? I can see him letting a young Ahsoka paint his nails or something. I just wish they would've taken the opportunity to give him pinless legs. Especially now that they have pinless Jedi legs like they gave us in the updated ROTS Anakin and Obi-Wan. Because his legs are basically the same color as ROTS Obi, I wonder if it would be possible to give Plo those legs. I don't think I'm brave enough to try myself, but I'm definitely curious.
Overall, it's a nice pack. Not perfect, but I do really like these Clones of the Republic packs. Cool alternate looks for the Jedi, a (hopefully) updated or outright new Clone on the new body, a quick way to fill out the roster/display. I'm sure we'll keep getting more of them; I just hope they take the opportunity to update some of the older Jedi bodies too. But getting the Clone Wars version of Kit would be cool, and maybe a new character like Adi Gallia. Heck, they could do 2 versions of Saesee Tiin alone between the OG and the CG shows.

Thing is it looks exactly like his face's "cameo" appearance in S1 - but SOMETHING happened to Pedro that day or right around then which made him look terrible. I don't know if they've ever outright said what happened or just talked around it, but he really looked awful onscreen - which the headsculpt totally captures.

Are you talking about how he was beat up and bleeding etc?
