I'VE COMPLETELY CHANGED MY MIND. I cant stop looking at this figure. Look, its not perfect, there is room for some upgrade, but damn me if it doesnt have a shelf presence. The paint job is super clean, no slop anywhere, its just it could use a bit more weathering in places. But despite that, or somee details feeling soft, its just so well executed, and it lookd so incredibly well and epic, just standing there! oNE OF MY FAVORITE FIGURES OF ALL TIME, thats quite a shift in perspective isnt it? I guess it has alot to do with the character design, but truth bee told, only figuarts managed to nail it so far. Their characters are a bit stylised, proportions arent 100% accurate, but that is to make them all look more heroic, and i swear it works. its perfect, its menacing, just how you'd like fett to be. I hope they will re-release Jango with updated articulation, that would be a treat. But even if that doesnt happen, I am getting the empire strikes back version for sure.

It's crazy how Figuarts doesn't hold a candle to the older Mafex ones. That was my first Mafex, and I fell in love with them more than SH Figuarts. So glad I've never had any issues, hearing all the horror stories about that company. Getting that new Hasbro helmet and the repainted Slave 1 has got me wanting more Fett. I've had the Mafex ESB one, so figuring I should get the Figuarts ROTJ version instead of Mafex cause it's totally different. Even though it's not nearly as good, I like each of my items to be as unique as possible. Not to mention the price is drastically lower.

You're forgetting something, Robo. The helmet adds height to an actor. Jeremy Bulloch might be 6', but, with the thickness of the helmet and the padding in the helmet, Boba Fett is at least 6'1", maybe taller. So the SHFiguarts is a little small.

4:13 - they've always been Wookie braids. So ridiculous that people started saying Padawan braids cause of Kenobi's rat tail from Episode 1. Back in '79, the 13" Fett had Wookie braids mentioned on the box. So it was confirmed a year before we saw them on the big screen. It did have me thinking they were trying to rewrite history; back when George made Greedo shoot first...in the most obviously edited way. George and Disney can try to change things all they want, but Fett will never be a clone; and he sounds _just_ like Jason Wingreen lol.

As long as this was shown at shows, this is hardly a shocking theory, but I think this has to be one of Figuarts oldest/earliest sculpts. Because Figuarts has always been the absolute best for Start Wars 6" figures *except* for their earliest offerings - ROTJ Vader & Luke- which I think was sculpted around the same time. Why it took so long to release? I dunno. But the sculpt details are just...soft and amateurish, just look at those skinny jeans with vague details...I can hear it now..."Oh Mi Gwd! What are those jeans??? Uh...Mandalorians, of course." So yeah, the amorphous "Mandies", the weird paint by numbers paint ops with silver splotches added as an afterthought and too small helmet....it's like Figuarts regular sculptor was moonlighting exclusively at Mafex when this dude was made, and came back ever since. Figuarts should have resculpted him in the intervening time, they have to see how inferior he is to Mafex and even Hasbro (btw love that Kenner Ops Fett!). Great review as always, here's hoping Bandai has an Empire Fett for the 40th to wow us like their usual standards do!

Seems like nowadays, everytime we get a helmeted Star Wars character from SHF, they fail to deliver compared to MAFEX. Gotta hand it to Medicom, they've really upped their game in recent years.

When will we get a prototype and Holiday special Boba ? And does that stuff on your walls make your room sound proof? Needing stuff like that, I’m guessing it’s expensive? I will probably still get this, it’s just lacking detail bit to plain and matte in areas, yeah the wrinkles are needed. I think the Mafex is better. And the height results I think are way off, Jeremy Bulloch said he was 5’9 or 5’10 (I think?) Was an interview he did. Maybe he shrunk. And Han Solo is definitely not 5’9 when Luke is 5’10. So the 6” scale figures, I’m guess the average person would be 6”? Or would someone 6ft be 6” how does that it actually work?
