1/6 Hot Toys 1/6 Boba Fett ESB Version

My final payment for this was supposed to be April 5th but they notified me it's been pushed back to next month. Have people received these from SS or elsewhere?

....But wont they just put out yet another version, probably in a different box and a $20 price increase? Hasn't he been re-released a few times now?

This figure really points out the paucity of accessories figures come with these days. I know he has more than most, being a Deluxe - but WOW.

IMO he is a must. Now I need a Vader.

This is the only re-release of this particular figure but there was both a deluxe and basic version when it was first released. Also Sideshow made a ESB Fett years ago and later re-released that figure too.

My SS order was delayed three times before I finally got him.

I would imagine that Panama Canal bottleneck is not exactly helping matters right now. From what I'm seeing on FB, *everything* is being delayed. I'm sorry, the whole situation sucks.

Just received it, I gotta read this thread and get rid of the fat suit

Here a pic of my two Fett.

They already rereleased this figure last year, along with AOTC Yoda, IIRC. There was a second batch of both a while after they sold out originally.

Great shots! Nice hear that these are moving/shipping again. Did you have to do any special mods to attach the cody sculpt?

Finally got my shipping notice for this guy from Sideshow.

Finally got my shipping notice for this guy from Sideshow.

I received notice too. Folks are also getting notice for Mando so Sideshow must have finally received another shipment from port. It's crazy that they still aren't shipping IG-11.

Thank you. No mods needed, its the custom copy head of Cody I bought in ebay. I will have a second head, from the Ht figure and that one I think I read needs some mods.

That's cool thank you for info! I have the same one I think... from ebay. Looks great and I can't wait to try it out!

Alright! I got the a payment notice as well later in the evening last night! Ha they must be cranking on the work backlog because it was def after hours!

Finally got the shipping alert! Been excited for this one for god knows how long. Will be crazy to finally have this one in hand! Now I gotta figure out who to pose him next to. ESB vader seems to be the only other fig in my collection that makes sense

 

[RTFLYER]

I'm posing him next to my Vintage Color Boba.

 

[endor1]

Nice to see some things moving again! I look forward to posing him with the ssc 1/6 Han Solo in Carbonite that's been displayed alone for a while now.

Received mine yesterday from SS. Lots of extras accessories I didn’t expect but also very fragile parts. Going to settle with a simple pose holding the blaster. Very pleased with it.

Yeah, after having this for a couple of years now, this really has to be one of the most accurate looking - and "man in suit" looking - figs HT has done.

I get there are some minor issues ("T" squint noticeably too wide, hands are kinda junk, and I'm not a fan of the too-fat gauntlets, which I replaced) but the paint, parts sculpts and overall presentation is really pretty superb.

Finally got mine in from SS and hoo boy I love this figure. It’s really insane just how many accessories this thing comes with. It’s almost overwhelming lol that backpack was a b**** to put on tho. Looks so sick posed next to Vader. Couldn’t be happier with this one.

 

[Chainedstream]

It sure went up in price on the secondary market!

Got mine in and the rear blonde Wookie braid is warped.

You're being too kind...it's a great set but the helmet is a major fail, with numerous issues...T squint being the least of them. The brow is too thin and the overall helmet shape proportions are way off making it look wonky from most angles. It's also over-scaled...giving the figure a bobble headed appearance.
There is that one sweet spot when viewed straight-on from the front where it looks passable and the flare looks good, but that's not enough to save it.
Maybe HT will do better on the Mando Fett version...

What do you mean by warped?
