It is a marked improvement over the old ones.

When the rumors said there'll be a Star Wars crossover, I really thought they'd reissue the ones from a couple of years back (Darth Vader and the Falcon).

Never watched the show, but it looks alright. Glad they didn't try to force a tiny driver into this; that ruined the original crossover line. Although I wish they gave him a TF name. Between this one and Naruto it seems like that aspect has fallen by the wayside and I miss it. The Jurassic Park names barely count since they're such an afterthought.

Nice enough looking toy of a very silly ship.

Dank farrik!

That looks so much better than all the previous attempts at Star Wars Transformers.

Although I wish they gave him a TF name.

Word has it the Star Wars higher-ups wouldn't let the Transformers team create a new character out of this set, like they did for several other Collaborative releases, explaining why the name is just "The Mandalorian/N-1 Starfighter".

Today Hasbro gave us our first look at the upcoming Transformers Collaborative STAR WARS: The Mandalorian N-1 Starfighter! Interestingly, unlike other Collaborative releases that gave the figure a new name Hasbro decided to go old school and do what they did with the preview Star Wars crossover line and simply gave the name of the character it looks like and the alt mode. In this case the box simply states it's the Mandalorian and the N-1 Starfighter. The MSRP is $55, a little more than other recent Collaborative releases, but he's also a bit bigger at 7.5" placing him within the usual Leader class range (for comparison Agent Knight is 6.5") assuming they're measuring to his head and not his shoulders.

The figure is listed on Hasbro Pulse as a "Partner Exclusive" and Walmart.com is also listing the figure as part of their latest Collector Con meaning it'll likely only see release in those two places in the USA. Both stores have it listed for release in February 2025.

• MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE: Transformers robots have always been -- More Than Meets the Eye -- and now fans can experience Transformers characters as they mash-up with iconic characters who share this same quality
• TRANSFORMERS COLLABORATIVE STAR WARS: THE MANDALORIAN: Kids can imagine a galaxy of adventure with the Transformers STAR WARS: The Mandalorian N-1 Starfighter converting action figure
• CONVERTS FROM STARSHIP TO ACTION FIGURE: The 7.5-inch (19 cm) figure converts between character mode and N-1 starfighter in 37 steps. Inspired by the N-1 starfighter from the STAR WARS galaxy
• AWESOME ACCESSORIES: Includes 6 blast effects, 2 blasters, shield, and cape
  PLAY AND DISPLAY: The shield and cape convert to a stand to display the figure in N-1 Starfighter mode

The iconic N-1 Starfighter from Star Wars: The Mandalorian is now a converting Transformers toy! This 7.5-inch (19 cm) figure converts from character mode to N-1 starfighter alt mode and features series-accurate deco and details from The Mandalorian series. It includes 6 blast effects that attach in both modes, 2 blasters, and a shield and cape that convert to a display stand for the figure in starship mode. Transformers robots have always been -- More Than Meets the Eye -- but now, through the Transformers Collaborative, fans can experience these larger-than-life characters as they team-up, mash-up, and meet up with other characters, teams, and people who share this same special quality.

Thanks to Seibertronian Overcracker for posting this tot he forums.

What a HUGE improvement over the SWTF line! That cape/shield doubling as a flight stand is brilliant!

Yeah, shows some lessons learned from designing Energon weapons 20 years ago too.

[Razorbeast88]

Instant pre-order
Liking this a lot, especially the shield and cape becoming a base for the vehicle

Shield and -I guess lance?- look really cool

Wish it came with a little grogu minicon or something though

I haven't watched the show, but it looks decent. I'm glad they didn't force a tiny driver into this release; that really hurt the original crossover line. However, I do wish they had given him a Transformers name. It seems like that aspect has been overlooked lately, especially with this and the Naruto crossover. The Jurassic Park names feel like an afterthought and don’t quite hit the mark for me.

We now have a video review of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_dP1FQeYOw

I got him a little while ago. Just for the novelty since I love even the concept of TF crossovers. It's a fun one and very clean. I think the biggest disappointment is that it looks a bit odd with Takara's Millenium Falcon, though. It's the Falcon's fault because it handles those lines really oddly. I can't think of a single TF that does it the same way. From a distance they work together, though.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Mine should be arriving today, looking forward to handling him

[First-Aid]

I got my Mando N1 in. It isn't too bad. One thing that really grabs my attention is his pistol holster, I love that! I don't like that the Grogu pod cannot integrate into the robot at all, and the longer gun cannot store in robot mode. I love the stand and how versatile it is though. and the transformation is a lot of fun.

So yeah, mixed bag, lots of good and some bad, but overall nice. Goes decently with the Millennium Falcon from Takara too

[Gauntlet101010]

I put the pod at the end of the gun and have it as a fusion cannon mounted on the wrist.
