Timothy Olyphant's Cobb Vanth from The Mandalorian is officially getting a Hot Toys figure.
The statue, which you can see below, is part of Hot Toys' Sixth Scale Figure line-up and shows Vanth in Boba Fett's armor. The body has more than 30 points of articulation and six pairs of interchangeable hands along with various other accessories, including Boba Fett's helmet and thruster fire. The Vanth figure is available to pre-order now for $300 via Sideshow, with an expected ship date between Jul. 2023 and Dec. 2023.
As a character, Vanth debuted in 2015's Star Wars: Aftermath, which was a novel by writer Chuck Wendig. He then made his live-action debut in The Mandalorian Season 2, Episode 1, "Chapter 9: The Marshal." The character obtained Boba Fett's armor from Jawas following the events of Star Wars: Episode VI -- Return of the Jedi and used the equipment to protect the town of Mos Pelgo -- later Freetown -- on Tatooine. Vanth served as a key ally for Din Djarin/The Mandalorian. He was later shot and, seemingly killed, by the bounty hunter Cad Bane. However, at the end of The Book of Boba Fett, which was a spinoff of The Mandalorian, Vanth was shown to be recovering in a bacta tank inside that bounty hunter's palace. It's unclear what role he'll play in the Star Wars Universe going forward following that revelation.
What's Going on With Star Wars?
Beginning in 1977 with Star Wars: Episode IV -- A New Hope, the franchise is one of the biggest names in media. Currently, Lucasfilm is working on several projects set in the galaxy far, far away following the success of The Mandalorian, which is the first live-action Star Wars TV series, on Disney+. Those shows include Ahsoka, Skeleton Crew, The Acolyte and Lando. There's also a film in the works from Thor: Ragnarok's Taika Waititi, which is supposed to release in De. 2025. There are no solid details available for that project at the time of writing.
The first two seasons of The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett Season 1 are available to stream now on Disney+. The Mandalorian Season 3 does not have an official release date as of this article's writing.
