New Mandalorian toys - including a Star Wars Lego set and weird choice of action figure - hint at unseen moments from the show's recently-finished third season.
Unveiled during the final Mando Mania (a weekly program that shows off products from or inspired by the Mandoverse), we first got a Lego Star Wars set called 'Mandalorian Fang Fighter vs. TIE Interceptor'. This kit offers two starfighters locked in combat and four minifigures in total - Mando himself, the 'Mandalorian Fleet Commander' who's flying the Fang, a TIE pilot, and an astromech droid - and comes in at $99.99 (opens in new tab) / £89.99 (opens in new tab) via the Lego store.

Even Lizzo and Jack Black haven't had their own action figures yet, so it's enough to make me wonder if he had extra scenes that were cut for the final edit.
Fortunately, other reveals posed less of a mystery. As an example, you can now wield Yoda's
