..because it's ****house?
Pretty much. Was never a fan of the body and stubby arms. Hot Toys putting up the 1/4 Fett doesn't help either. In general their proportions are much better, but after seeing the QS, the version on my shelf just sucks.

The SS Fett isn't that bad.

I am confident that HT's inevitable $300 version will blow it out of the water!!!
Overall it's really nice quality-wise - it's mostly the green they chose and the figure's body shape that ruins it for me, even stuff like the chest armor and helmet shape aside. People rag on the figure a bit but a lot of the parts are really amazingly well done (backpack, gauntlets and boots are great.)

I just changed out the body on the SS Fett with a true-type body...Figure looks great to me...Course before that all we had was Hasbro's version, Kenner's original, and Marmit (which wasn't bad)...So not much to base the SS version on...But I too am drooling with anticipation of a HT Fett...

Thanks Patriot...LOVE this figure...even with the flaws people have complained about...Why I hope beyond hope HT does a 1/6 version soon...He needs some futzing...I havent messed with him in awhile...

New body does make a big difference, joefan.

That's a damn nice Boba, joefan. That body has really changed the fit of the clothing for the better.

Damn. Massive improvement. 
Was it easy to switch out? Kind of tempted to do the same for my display to hold me over until HT. Which TT did you use?

Thanks Cap...It was not that hard to switch out, no...Biggest thing was the chest armor...I had to have a friend tailor it for me so it fit better...I honestly don't remember which TT body I used...I know it wasn't the muscular one....Truetype slim I think....
The neck ball on the body fits the hole in the Fett helmet ok...But I actually just have the helmet sitting on the neck loose in the photos...Stays in place, so it's all good...

I really like the base for the Sideshow Boba. It was part of why I wanted the figure but after getting burned on eBay trying to buy it I'll just wait for Hot Toys to release theirs. On topic, the NRD plus two payments are down for Vader. Three to go, hopefully he arrives in a timely fashion.
