Hi Everyone,
We've been working on The Mandalorian CRL for some time now, and with the release of the show, and several people building this costume, it was high time to get this one out there. Please keep in mind that this is a promotional CRL, and it may contain some inaccuracies, which as the show moves on, and more references are available, will be updated.
