1/6 Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back - 1/6th scale Boba Fett (Vintage Color Version)

[D.R.37]

Nothing wrong with that. I'm always the first to say Sideshow Figures are just placeholders until Hot Toys gets to it but their Proto Fett might be the best Fett figure they've done so I'm ok with mine still.

Whereas their Jango is literally the worst figure I own.

I do still like the SSC Proto... EX beach towel version, shiny white helmet and armor. There was no question (still isn?t) about replacing mine, although he?s in great need of a body swap. Would still be interested in seeing how HT would handle it since you brought it up and they do generally do make a more solid figure, but definitely not one of my replacement needs. I could see them doing him on the 50th anniversary for SW though... another repaint.

I would rather have the white Proto than a Jango but that?s just me

If they do a Proto I'd like them to include the alternate helmets as well. There was more then 1 originally in the sketches.

Oh man if they picked up the McQuarrie line that SS has seems to misplace? THAT would be awesome.

Would be fantastic. I love the Mcquarrie statue!

That?s be great. McQuarrie Vader is just too damn cool looking, was great a version of Vader inspired by it come to life in Rebels.

Aside from the shin armor coming off and the jetpack not fitting flush what else is wrong with it?

Crappy body and leg armor coming off is 90% of my gripe with this figure. I?ve kept mine in a museum pose for years because he requires his stand just to stand up without flopping over. His pistols were also a tad undersized but I swapped out mine with the old Medicom ones.

Visually, he solid. But quality wise, SSC replaced him twice and I wouldn?t even have been able to tell so an upgrade for me is much needed.

i have a custom of him (jango fett) everything is side show except i used the medicom armor used velcro strips for the thigh and leg armor and used the medicom knee pads. he is on the sideshow body which is pretty solid and dont need to stand on it to keep him up right. i have the stand as well. also used little magnets on each back pack so it wont fall off if i move him.

Perfect way to avoid saying just a "Kenner version".

Copy everything directly from one thing and it's theft, copy from multiple things and it an homage

LOL, when has a Chinese company ever worried about stealing another company's
IP???

Couldn't you fix the floppiness with a body swap? I mean 40 buck fix right? Or is the armor/clothing such that you can't.

You could but I just don't want to spend another dollar on this thing. I'd rather just upgrade to the Hot Toys version and move on from this one.

I am not the biggest vintage Star Wars toy fan, but I love how they are handling the packaging on these. In fact, I wish they did all their releases with this kind of packaging! Then I could display without taking them out of the box.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

This is perfect

 

[generalgrevious]

i was looking into getting a bunch of vintage style boxes and displaying them that way would look awesome.

 

[HTHero]

Hey, might be an odd question, but does anyone know if the jetpack flame effects from the RotJ fett fit into the pack for the ESB figure?

Betting this will be the next Star Wars figure released.

I?d say Vader is more likely, that?s a straight up reissue where as this needs an actual new paint job.
