4. The Mandalorian (Din Djarin)
Din Djarin is his name. Beskar Armor is his game. Well it is for the latest version (VC 181), which is a repaint of his 1st season look (a great way to reuse the tooling from VC 166), and is by far the one you need. Let's take a look at why he's 4th on my list, and why he's an incredible action figure.
Sporting 16 POA, his articulation isn't any different than his predecessor VC 166. However a big addition is made here with the jet pack. Just as the previous version, his long rifle can be attached to his back, but if you have the jet pack on his back the rifle will not be able to be put there. His accessories are his pistol, which fits and stays in the holster and his right hand, long rifle, removable cape (it's easy to remove his head to remove the cape) and the newly made jet pack which fits on his back, and you can keep the cape on with the jet pack. He can achieve some great action poses, but if you get one with stiff joints boil some water, turn off the heat and drop him in for no longer than a minute and he'll be okay.
The paint has been a touchy subject with collector's as it's too silvery, too bright or not vac metallized. I like that it has the "new" look. The hard to find VC 177 Din and Grogu 2 pack has the scarred armor, and his unmasked head which fits on this figure since it's the same body sculpt. I like it the way it is. The sculpt holds up, and the paint is neat as I noticed no smudges at all. It's a great figure all around.
So why 4th? One issue is the hinged knee joints. The swivel boots help, but as in the new Boba Fett sculpt the true ball joint knees help with poses and action scene recreations. The bonus accessories are rare for modern VC figures, which is why I make them a key factor in my ranking system. If you only get 1 Din Djarin this is the one to get.
