Do Funko's Mandalorian POPs Reveal Episode 5's Mystery Character?

When the dust settled on the first season of Star Wars: The Mandalorian, most of our questions had been answered (while a few new ones regarding the Darksaber arose). One lingering thread however involves the mystery figure we saw briefly at the end of Episode 5, "The Gunslinger." A Mandalorian who some fans thought might be Boba Fett due to the Tatooine setting and the sound of "spurs" jangling.

Funko just revealed the first wave of their Mandalorian POPs (not including the Baby Yoda Funko POP) and one of the figures just might be Episode 5's puzzling player. In the first image, you'll see Mando, Mando on Blurgg, Paz Vizla, Q9-0, and the Armorer.

In image two, however, along with Greef Karga, a Jawa, the Client, and the Flame Thrower Trooper, is a green Mandalorian. With a cape...

Could this be one of the Mandalorians who rescued our hero as a boy? Well, they all had jetpacks. How about one who helped save him at the end of Episode 4? After checking, none of them had capes. Or were noticeably green. The only one with a cape and those boots were the bounty hunter we only saw from the legs down in Episode 5. And, by Funko design, it appears to be female.

Anyhow, it's worth speculating over. Whoever the Episode 5 character is, it's probably safe to assume they have a connection to Mando and aren't just after the "Child."

You can now watch all 8 Season 1 episodes of The Mandalorian with Disney+'s free 7-day trial.
