1/6th Scale Sideshow Boba Fett Figure

[sithlord13]

I'd suggest getting the Medi ROTJ version if you're not fussy about which film.

Others will tell you the same..

I have both medis. They rock

I'm getting the medi Rotj Boba fett on Thursday along with mark vii. I have only heard good things about it!!!

Kinda interested in owning a Boba Fett figure. The 1/6 one being sold at Sideshow has been out for a year now? Should I be waiting for an updated version down the road? I'm not in a hurry just want a good figure.

I missed the boat on this one, hope they bring out a V2 too!

ESB Boba has been the #1 selling Star Wars item on SSC's website pretty consistently since release. I'd think an ESB v2 would likely be 5+ years away. Might be a chance that they fix some of the issues with it on a possible ROTJ version (personally don't like ROTJ as much as ESB) but could be a straight re-paint, too.

If that's the case then why is it STILL in stock after a year and hasn't sold out yet?

Where is that information coming from?

Because after more than a year, it's still an open edition. Of the five other figures listed under "Most Popular Star Wars In-Stock Products" only Padawan Obi doesn't have an edition size. I'm guessing Boba will remain open for a long while yet and then they'll pull him maybe once the sales decline significantly. Can't see them putting an edition size when he's still #1, though (which isn't an endorsement, btw, I sold mine off at a pretty significant loss).

Where is that information coming from?

From any Star Wars item's product page.

Can some please point me in the direction of where the chest mod thread is?

 

[Invictus Sol]

Here. Ignore the first page about restitching the seams of the vest. Everyone uses either a hairdryer or boiling water to soften the stomach panel and then re-mold it so it's got more of a curve on either side (in tandem w/cutting the plastic anchor tabs down to as small as possible on the inside of the vest). Just don't overdo the heat as it will warp the plastic panels and can't be reversed.

I made a very little custom on my boba. I didn't like the ropes, so I removed them and put a laser rifle on his shoulder. I'm thinking about buying 1 or 2 lightsabers and put them on his belt, like mythos version.
What do you think? I think it looks cool.

 

[kl241]

One suggestion is to replace the the stock "yarn" Wookie scalps with the Hasbro ones.

 

[omegaglory1]

A simple change but nicely done. I always imagined the most notorious bounty hunter in the galaxy would have access to other weapons, as needed for the job at hand.

 

[TheFiend]

I'm missing a one of the magnets on the holster. Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement?

 

[Mad Old Lu]

K&J Magnetics

They have all different sizes.

 

[TheFiend]

Thanks Lu.

Probally because they manufactured enough fetts to build a warehouse out of them to store more fetts in

 

[banthafett]

I was changing Boba around today and his hose broke off the gauntlet. Not sure how to fix it.

 

[AusGeorge5]

Pretty simple really.
Small drill bit of the same size of the hose. Carefully drill out the hole where it goes. Drop of super glue and insert the hole. Done!

 

[yongkykun]

Yeah, the elbow joint looks way too skinny. Someone ought to do a TT body swap tutorial.

 

[automaton]

the elbow joint is indeed too skinny... ridiculously skinny and short...

 

[Figure5901]

Wow! I've been reading this thread and now I really want this figure. Gonna start looking in the For Sale thread tomorrow.
