And being Rubies, I wonder if it will be like their line of Star Wars Characters holding candy bowls and be hollow/flat on the back.

Are those candy bowl holders made of hard resin? They feel light enough to be paper mâché.
I was actually a fan of those until I saw the price and saw them in person.

The Mattel doll is currently $5 off at Target. I finally picked one up. If any one has the Zenix control knob, here's a great display idea. You can get a 1/2" x 1" hex bolt at Home Depot for 46 cents. I bore a hole big enough to push the bolt through on his hand and threaded the knob on.

The Empire remnants would have done much worse to him.

True.
My wife mentioned using magnets.
A buddy of mine just ordered one of the CostCo versions for me. Apparently they're available online. Now I'll get the extra accessories and have a regular child dedicated for trooping. This will be the third Mattel version in my house and 4 total that I have purchased.

You could drill into the palm and put a magnet in it instead so it’s easily removable.

That works, too. I figured since this knob is designed to fit over this threaded bolt, it'd be easier than fitting a magnet to the knob.
So it's still removable.

This was my thought as well. Then you could paint over it and make it almost disappear. Or even better... remove his hand, place a SUPER strong magnet inside and then sew his hand back on. Not sure how successful this would be, but it would be seamless.

The Salesone boxset at Gamestop is on sale right now. Turns out the besker ingot is a flat, wearable pin. Not a prop. I always thought it looked way too small.
How do you attach the belt? I bought grommets, but they aren’t long enough to go through 2 pieces of webbing.

I used Chicago Screws with mine.
How did you installed them in the helmet?

I didn't? I was responding to NedSkywalker's question about how you attach the Rothco Double Prong Belt to the Bag to use the Rothco Belt as the shoulder strap for it.
If you're asking about using Chicago screws for attaching a visor, I used 2-part JB Weld to attach one side of the screw into the helmet at the various attach points, then marked their location on my cut visor, & drilled the holes in it.
Sorry if that's but what you were asking, but I couldn't find your original post.
EDIT: Here's my build thread in case you wanted any more info.
My Mando Bucket (COMPLETED... I think)
My kids bought me a 3D printed Mando helmet for Christmas, but due to some delays from the Etsy seller, it just came in today. Now, I know it's not accurate, but I'm going to love it anyways since it was a gift. Since I knew what I was getting, I started collecting what I thought I'd need for...

Thanks...that was exactly what I wanted to know.What did you used for the Visor..looks really good and dark.
This is what I used. Hope it works for you. If you find something better, let me know.
