Star Wars The Vintage Collection | The Mandalorian Nevarro Cantina | Custom & Diorama!

I know how much TVC collectors liked the cardboard feature in the Mandalorian Nevarro Cantina, but in today’s video, I walk through how I upgraded this playset and incorporated it into my worldbuilding display. With some structural additions, a little weathering, and some creativity, I transform this recent release into a customized, dynamic setting.

    They created a good base for those who like to customize but might not want to completely build something from scratch. 7/10 for the vanilla product, 10/10 for the improvements that blend it seamlessly into your city diorama keeping with the overall style and motif.

    Did I miss how you did the door? For me that's been the trickiest part because even if you have 2 sets the doors don't line up. It worked out well incorporating it into the larger wall so you could offset the two door pieces.

  • @ToysAreTheWay

    @ToysAreTheWay

    8 ай бұрын

    Yeah that was definitely tricky, but I essentially created an asymmetrical frame with the foam that would allow the two door pieces to line up and be held in place. It worked out pretty well in the end, I definitely wished Hasbro had not made that so tricky! It would have been wise for them to make it line up so we could have an outdoor entrance, but at the same time they should have made the set have the exterior wall as well. ✨🤘😁🤘✨

    looks amazing! been putting off working on homemade diorama stuff as far as walls and bigger things of the sort. I love the cantina as well as you mentioned the accessories are definitely the bright spot in the set and being able to rearrange everything how you want is great as opposed to the tantive IV hallway that is built in a way that is in not able to be put together in only 1 way basically forcing you to get another if you want an enclosed hallway when they could have easily made it to have the second hallway wall fit across from the first for a short little enclosed section. this is far more friendly with all the free moving pieces but could have definitely benefitted from a better door and window design from a material standpoint the door only takes a small breath of air to slip out of the clip haha

I love the Tantive IV set, I feel like it was a superb offering, although I do think that particular set could have benefited from a stacking feature. Allowing collectors to create multiple levels, but for the most part I think it was great start to the environment offerings.

If I were the Higher ups at Hasbro I would fire or put the fear of god in the Star wars Haslab team. Get back to making Playsets and vehicles VC scale of course. The G.I.JOE HASLAB team crushed it w/The Skystriker. And the Tranformers team killed it with Unicron. The new Transformers Haslab is mediocre at best can't remember the name of it. And I got to say when a fan makes a self Transforming Gen1 Optimus Prime w/transforming trailer. Then gets a company to produce it in mass. That's the best toy Hasbro Pulse has for sale right now.
