"PAY UP
OR SHUT UP"
Standing at 12 1/2-inches tall, this limited edition replica statue
brings the authenticity of the Bounty Hunter from Star Wars home.
Boba Fett is represented holding his sawed-off rifle and trademark
costume, based on his appearance in the Star Wars: Return of the
Jedi.
Boba Fett is one of the most popular fictional characters in the
Star Wars universe, despite having relatively little screen time in
the films. Boba Fett is a bounty hunter hired by the Empire to track
down and capture Luke Skywalker and by Jabba the Hutt to capture Han
Solo.
A clone of Jango Fett, Boba Fett was created on Kamino and raised as
Jango's natural son. Jango trained the boy in the ways of the
Mandalorians. Boba Fett grew up to be a bounty hunter feared and
dreaded throughout the galaxy, known for his subtle and cunning
moves tracking down his prey. Boba Fett commonly worked for the
gangster Jabba the Hutt, and held associations with Darth Vader.
The overall sculpting of this statue is outstanding. You would think
that Gentle Giants borrowed the Boba Fett costume from Return of the
Jedi and Hyper-Scanned it into the computer to create this fine
statue. Boba Fett is not only meticulously detailed in everyway but
this statue seems to come alive as Boba Fett stares at you tempting
you to make a move.
The painting application of this statue is layered and given that
“used” look that George Lucas originally envisioned for the Star
Wars Universe.
The chosen pose for Boba Fett is not what one would think. Most
would think of giving Boba Fett an action pose. But alas Gentle
Giants did not. They pose they chose for Boba Fett seems to be
taunting you to make that move. He is reaching his left hand out
waving his fingers at you to come here. If you don’t maybe he will
shoot you down with his rifle. You know Boba Fett is a cold and
calculating individual. He always gets his prey.
Gentle Giants has outdone themselves this time around with their
line of 1/6 scale statues. Out of all the Gentle Giant Statues that
have been released so far I must say this particular one if the best
by far in a galaxy so near.
