What will 1/4 Pf Boba Fett's exclusive be? [Archive]

OK, so now that we know that the nect PF will be Boba Fett, What do you think the exclusive will be? I am hoping for Han in carbonite!

(yes, I know that nothing is official, but come on- it's got to be Fett!)

I think the ss exclusive will be ESB fett & the retailer version will be ROTJ fett

While a Han in Carbonite would definitely be awesome, I think it is probably out of the question too.

Hadn't really thought about the possibility of the different paint schemes. Could definitely work though. Of course, it would drive a lot of people crazy too having to have both paint schemes.

I hope its the paint scheme, that would make a nice exclusive, but I don't know if they would do that. With the universal monsters they release the SSE after the colour has been out...so they could always do that here. I can't really think of anything else either, the armor would make interchangeable arms difficult I think. Maybe something semi-related to Fett. Kinda like the mouse droid was only semi-related to Vader.

That would certainly make it a must have. But IMO it should be on both versions, too essential to be otherwise.

A thermal detonator comes to mind, but I don't really know what could be done with it for it to be the exclusive.

Well what about this idea:

Instead of giving Boba Fett a regular and an exclusive version, how about having one of em be Boba Fett and the other be Jango Fett? Same pose, but different color schemes.
As much as I really want Boba and Jango I sincerely hope that is not the case otherwise Luke/Yoda or the Mummy or Ironman will have to go.

I like the base idea, maybe Jabba's palace for the reg and like Deke said a carbon freezing chamber base for the exclusive. That's another one I would really have to get the exclusive!

A straight repaint wouldn't work. Jango's costume has quite a few differences most notably the armor on his legs. A themed base would be a good idea for the exclusive,Carbon Freezing Chamber for ESB or Sail Barge Deck for ROTJ.

Vader AL

07-03-2006, 10:08 AM

I'd like the exclusive to always be useable, e.g. leia's blaster. a carbonite stand would be cool but a mini-anything i do not want.

07-03-2006, 10:34 AM

A themed base would be a good idea for the exclusive,Carbon Freezing Chamber for ESB or Sail Barge Deck for ROTJ.

But that would require two completely different paint applications for Fett himself as the ESB and ROTJ costumes are very different.

"Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen..."

If I was the Arch-Duke of Sideshow:

Regular version: ROTJ color scheme & blaster. $350. 2000 pieces.
Exclusive version: ESB color scheme & blaster. $375. 1250 pieces.
"Limited" Exclusive version: ESB colors with polystone carbonite Han. $500. 250 pieces.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether or not the pricier PFs will receive the "inclusive edition" treatment...

I agree with the first two of course but a third version would be kind of silly. We don't need 3 versions of the same character like that with only minor paint changes. Put the Han in carbonite in with the second option and go with it from there.

My fear is that SS would consider the additional cost for the carbonite Han to be too high, and wouldn't consider it as the exclusive. By making it available as a third option for a higher price, it might actually be a possibility. Otherwise I am afraid that the ultimate Boba Fett & Frozen Han 1/4 scale display just isn't going to happen. :monkey2

I think the cost would be considered too hight to begin with actually. Especially if it's to be done right and we know SS doesn't do it any other way. I could see a piece like that hit around the 1k mark. I don't think they've done a PF piece like that unless you can the Predator piece which was a maquette. I think you got a better chance of it happening with it being one of two options because a third would be flooding your own market.

Could they do a future Carbonite Han PF all on his own?

Or maybe the question is: Would they?

There isn't going to be a frozen Han available in scale with Boba Fett unless Sideshow makes one.

I think Carbonite Han and Boba is doable, and I prefer it as the third option because otherwise I don't think I could afford Fett and I lean towards ROTJ more so than ESB, but I suppose I could always settle for the latter considering I never noticed the difference until someone posted the two pics side by side. I think they were 12" customs.

That looks perfect to me.

I think this has to be a stand alone piece. But once again, Attakus has already done this so it may be up to GL to approve as a single item. If it were lighted, I'd buy one in a heart beat.

They could do like the Mummy's sarcophagus and have it so you can mount it on the wall.

FrankenFan

07-04-2006, 01:07 PM

Like I said earlier: look at the size of the sarcophagus that comes with the Mummy. If they can do something that large and intricate, and keep the price to $350, why couldn't they do Fett and a carbonite block without a huge price?

I see where you're coming from, Batty, but consider that the Mummy figure, itself, is primarily sculpted, whereas a Fett PF (assuming it's produced in a manner similar to Vader) would be a sculpted body with a multi-layered costume consisting of cloth, polystone-cast armor, etc.

When it went up for sale last year, the single Vader figure cost $350, the same price as the Mummy and Sarcophagus set sells for today. I think Fett will command at least the same money, so the addition of a Carbonite Han would drive the price point up considerably higher than the Mummy set.

Cool idea, nonetheless!

Yeah, I see your point. I guess it's wishful thinking on my part. It's just that SS has their claws so deep inside me, that if they did do carbonite Han, I'd get it no matter what.

I hope they do not do an inclusive edition for a PF Fett. I think that works for figures but not so much for these larger pieces. Let's not kill the collectivity factor on the more expensive stuff.

That said, I hope they do a ROTJ Fett with an exclusive of 500 pieces. Whatever the exclusive is I don't think it should have anything to do with the ESB version (or Jango Fett for that matter). Similarities of costumes aside, it's an entirely different version of the character. Sucks, doesn't it? :rolleyes:

I agree a Han in carbonite with a light up feature would sell well on it's own the same way those probe droids sold for Darth Maul 1/6.

I don't think there's really a reason to do an inclusive for the PF's. Luke/Yoda lasted for a week or something before it sold I believe. Granted this was a duplicate character and maybe not as big as Fett would be, but I still wouldn't expect there to be a huge sellout. But I could be wrong...it has been known to happen...from time to time.

So whadda we think? Preview before or during SDCC?

oxbeard

07-06-2006, 10:37 AM

Actually I would consider the Boba PF to sell just as well/quick as the Vader did whatever the exclusive might be. That comparison got me to thinking though. Do you think we'll be seeing another joint exclusive with SWS.com?

To be honest I can't remember precisely. Maybe someone else can, but I don't think it was anything lightning fast. A week or something like that. Basically the 2000ES was split 50/50 between SS and SWS.com.

SWS.com actually had either a 24hr or 48hr advance sale on it too, which really surprised a lot of folks. Then once it went up at SS directly, most folks cancelled with SWS.com to move their order to SS because of SWS.com's higher shipping.

I think that any light up feature will be common to both regular and exclusive versions, as with Darth Vader and Obi-Wan. The lights are really a very small feature, and that just wouldn't be impressive enough for the exclusive. Obviously, a frozen Han would be great. The alternate ESB version as an exclusive would be a lot of work, the more I think about it. It would take a lot more than just a paint job--there are several differences in more areas than just color. (Plus, I would have to buy both since you couldn't swap back and forth like Grievous.)

Any guesses as to what an add-on or interchangeable item might be? I'm stuck on the idea of Carbonite Han.

The exclusive could be a Sarlaac base or the like...! A Han Carb would be awsome, but no way.

If they do both a ROTJ and ESB Fett, then they would not do a 1:6 scaler for a while, so an alternative ESB seems out of the question.

I am expecting a normal exclusive. Since Fett will be super awsome on his own, I am cool with that.

SolidLiquidFox

07-07-2006, 06:20 AM

the string would not work because of the way his arms are positioned. The damaged blaster is the only relevant item but kind of boring if we plan to display Boba by himself.

I think it will be a base of some kind.

Why wouldn't there be an exclusive? There've been exclusives for all the previous PFs. I just don't think it's going to be anything major. When the Luke/Yoda PF was announced, Dusty gave us a clue the same night. She's being quiet about this one.

Honestly, Fett was never my favorite Star Wars character. He just never held the same spot in my heart as some of the other characters. But the PF is super sweet of course, and the mixed media really makes it stand out from any other Fett statue I've ever seen. Boba fans will not be disappointed!

Luke has always been my favorite too, with Count Dooku as a close second.
