Boba fett premium format

I see one for $500 and you can submit your best offer. See if you can snag that one.

Great shot, firefly76 and good job posting that hose tip again, Shalamar. That was my very first mod ever and it really makes this great piece even greater looking with that subtle improvement.

Thanks for the info but the seller has zero feedback so I'm going to look elsewhere

Oh ok, I didn't even notice the seller rating. Good luck getting one and there's no doubt it'll be a gift that keeps on giving if you get yourself one for christmas

Here's a repeat of the pic of what I did with my PF Boba Fett hoses. A little picture wire...

Beautiful work dude. Where'd you get the wires from?

Any store that sells frames and framing supplies.

Awesome PF......was just taking pics of mines ..............

It's time to take the plastic bag off his belt!

This is still one of my very favorite pieces.

Thanks just wondering what's up with the wire custom is it a must and how difficult is the process I wouldn't want to ruin the pf. Thanks in advance

it just helps give it that little extra movie accurate look for his hoses. It's totally fine if you don't do it as no one will most likely ever notice, but it's still a nice touch. And the hoses that attach to his gauntlets just go up his sleeve. There's no connector piece or anything under there, so you literally just pull it out from under his sleeve and insert the wire and voila.

It's very easy. Trim the wire, and slide it into the hose. It's an excellent fit, and won't damage the statue. It also helps keep the 'kinks' out of the hose that some PF's are prone too.

Thank you verbal and shalamar for the helpful tips I think I may just go with the custom add since the hoses look more screen accurate instead of the plastic originals. Have a great weekend

I finally have a place in my man cave to display my PF Boba. Time to get him out of storage!

May inspect it and do the hose switch.

Not a hose switch! Leave the hoses on Boba where they are. Just insert some picture wire inside the hoses! No damage or removal of any part of the PF is needed!

this PF is still one of my faves and the fact we're going to be getting a ESB version is just icing on the cake. 2 is better than 1 and I'm realling itchin' to see what pose they put him in.

 

[ChrisClassics]

I could imagine an action pose. Maybe where he shoots at Luke shortly before he takes off from Bespin.

I didn't like the battle damage (silver on his T visor) so with mixed media (pastel brown tones and paint) i toned it down, i like the way it looks now.

I actually did something similiar to Mandible but i put in white pipe washers in the plastic and it looks cool (silver looking) with most importantly no kinks

 

[CollectorNC]

No matter what comes out, I think this will be THE version to own. Perfect pose and it's the ROTJ version, it can't be beat. It's without a doubt my most favorite PF I own. What's he going for now anyway?

Nice pose, and no offense, but Fett in Jedi is not how I want to remember him. TESB is the definitive Fett and they can come up with a similar pose and improve on the few shortcomings people have commented on this piece, including too much plastic and not enough polystone. Still this is a good piece, but I don't think I'd pay $600 for it.

 

[Jaycepticon]

I completely understand that "definitive" is subject to each person's interpretation As far as the polystone, yes, it'd be nice if it was made with more of it but I don't think it should be as much of a dealbreaker as people made it to seem when this statue first came out. Unless you're displaying it somewhere that gets extra windy or something, I don't see how the weight of the statue would be an issue. if anything, it's a plus that you could display it INSIDE of a detolf glass shelf and not have to worry about it shattering underneath it's weight.

 

[ChrisClassics]

I bought mine for $450.
I think they will want to address both people who have bought the 1st PF, as well as those who haven't. So I'm not all to certain that they will go with the same pose. I'm sure it would sell good. But most likely, many would be disappointed.

Well, I should have clarified my comment. What I meant was Boba Fett's lame death in ROTJ ruined it for me. He was cool, mysterious and badass in TESB. In ROTJ he was comic relief--not cool. This pose is like the one when he shoots at Like on Bespin. That pose would be great for TESB Boba Fett. He needs an action pose for a change.

 

[slynger]

the ROTJ PF pose is great and I love mine, but the Epic version, for me anyway, is the ESB Fett. They don't have to take a pose right from the film, but if they do "artistic interpretation" I just hope they don't get too carried away.

 

[Jaycepticon]

That'd be a fun poll to see. For me, it would be the ROTJ SE version. ROTJ Armor colors + ESB Helmet = WIN

But I really do want an ESB version as well, in that action pose NC put up. I really like the action poses of the Koto and GG statues and I wouldn't mind similar poses to those as well.
