The Vintage Collection Blurrg
10/1/2024
The Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Blurrg was released in September 2024 and quickly became a fan favorite. Priced at $39.99 (with some collectors scoring it for $24.99 due to an early Amazon pricing error), this set includes not only the iconic Blurrg creature but also a carded version of Din Djarin. Here's what makes this release a must-have for Star Wars: The Vintage Collection fans and collectors alike.
Key Differences in Din Djarin
The included Vintage Collection Din Djarin figure features several updates compared to the 2020 release:
- A new shoulder bell on the right shoulder, offering a unique look from further into season 1 of the Mandalorian tv series
- Barbell-jointed hips for improved articulation
- A soft goods cape for a more realistic display and easier seating on top of the Blurrg
These differences make this version of Din Djarin distinct from the original release, adding value for collectors who already own the earlier version (you can use the compare tool to look at both figures side by side here: Din Djarin comparison). The figure fits well atop the Blurrg, though positioning it on the saddle may require some patience. Once seated properly, it creates a fantastic display piece.
The Blurrg - A Unique Creature
The Vintage Collection Blurrg comes with a removable saddle and reins that attach to its mouth, allowing for various display options:
- With the reins attached, you can pose Din Djarin as if controlling the Blurrg.
- Without the reins, the Blurrg can be displayed as a wild creature, roaming freely.
- The articulated mouth adds extra posability, allowing collectors to open and close it manually.
The Blurrg itself features a well-done skin tone with subtle weathering on it. The proportions of the creature are spot-on as well and it fits seamlessly into any Mandalorian-themed display.
Compatibility with HasLab's Razor Crest
For those wondering, the Vintage Collection Blurrg fits perfectly into the HasLab Razor Crest's interior. You can fit two Blurrgs comfortably, and while a third can squeeze in, it becomes quite tight. This compatibility adds further versatility for collectors looking to create dynamic display setups with their Razor Crest and Blurrgs.
The Blurrg's History in Star Wars
The Vintage Collection Blurrg offers fans a chance to own a piece of Star Wars history that spans multiple generations of media. The Blurrg creature was first introduced in the 1980s Ewok Adventure movies, and was brought back almost 40 years later for another live-action appearance in The Mandalorian season one, so this toy is the perfect addition for new and long time collectors.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Blurrg is a fantastic addition to the line and a must-have for any collector of The Mandalorian figures. The removable saddle and reins, along with the articulated mouth, give collectors flexibility in how they want to display the Blurrg. Whether you're adding it to your Razor Crest interior or simply showcasing it alongside your other Vintage Collection figures, this set brings variety and depth to any collection.
For fans of Star Wars: The Vintage Collection and The Mandalorian, the Blurrg and Din Djarin set is a highly recommended addition to your collection.
