Looks great, Talibane.
Really nice work Talibane! Love the more seamless arms on that, and the fact it's got the fatter lower legs of the movie costume.
Then Bossk should've been in Solo at some point. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the filmmakers of Solo should've had Boba Fett be the main villain, not Enfys Nest. The largest missed opportunity of the millennium. It would've made Han's encounter with Boba Fett on Bespin in The Empire Strikes Back WAY more epic and cool.
I'm sure they were probably saving Fett for one of the sequels, as they were clearly expecting the movie to do a whole lot better and start off a Young Han Solo trilogy.

I recall even the actress who played Enfys let slip in an interview at celebration that they were planning a trilogy.
Oh well it'll probably come at some point. Daenerys is now looking for work after the finale. [emoji2]

Thanks guys.
The arms and legs are very heavily modded Hasbro. And yeah, Bossk's limbs onscreen are lumpy and uneven - the SSC limbs are too smooth and the scales too evenly sculpted. And I'm still confused as to why they did ankle and wrist joints instead of just doing two sets of legs/arms with slightly different hand/foot poses so there'd be no seam/join.
Bossk is a super tricky fig to get looking right because he's so skinny overall - not a lot of room to hide stuff. The one thing that still bugs me is that the shoulder emblems need to be higher (SSC put them 1/4" too low) but I'd need a whole other jumpsuit to fix it and I already spent nearly $200 on this figure.
And yeah gg - I hear you but Bossk is an extra special favorite for me - it was one of the first ESB figs I ever got and the character was always in my SW top 5 for some reason. I reflected on that as I built a fully detailed King D-ck ratchet handle for that chest greeblie.
I still love the fact that Bossk has "King D-ck": emblazoned on his costume - it's such a perfect nickname for Bossk.I'm almost done with my BH line-up now - all I have left now is to do a SSC and Hasbro hybrid of IG-88 (the more accurate Hasbro head and shoulder bells, plus a few other bits, and redoing the SSC tubes.) I'll try to post some pics once the team is together.

that would be awesome still need zuckuss. any extra parts would come along way if you find any. 4-lom i dont care to much about him so it doesn`t matter if he`s apart of the team or not.
Here's my V2 Bossk after yellowing him up a bit more. I also opened the mouth further to match his closeup in ESB, and weathered up the outfit and mechanical doodads a little. Really wish the outfit wasn't such a pale yellow, but don't think there's much I can really do about that.

That does look very good!
I'm kind of tired of this trilogy mentality.

Good we got Rogue One then.
Looking very nice, dj - the V.2 with that lighter repaint is the way to go.
It is unfortunate about the V.2 jumpsuit color. You really have to wonder why they changed something they got pretty much right the first time - a bit like the first and second SSC Vader jumpsuits where V.2 is inferior.
Two issues that always jump out at me on both V.1 and V.2 versions is the oversized white bib and the quite inaccurate waist belt. What's really weird about them is that Sideshow has very accurate versions of both items; the ones they used on the Red Five Luke.

I have both v1 and v2 and was wondering how hard it would be to switch the clothes. Did anyone try?
I'm sure it's doable, but it's a pretty complex looking outfit and I'd want to make sure to take lots of pics first so I could remember how everything fits back together.

what colors did you use on bossk ? and what paint model would be best to use i know there are many paint makers out there just wonder what`s the best to use.
I just used some gold ochre mixed with a bit of dark brown and drybrushed it on in several layers. And then some antiquing polish to darken around the eyes, and finally brushed on some gloss to shine him up. All of it just cheap craft paint from Michaels.
