INTRODUCTION
The animated maquette line from Gentle Giant
celebrates the 30th Anniversary of the Empire Strikes Back with none
other than every collectors' favorite, Boba Fett. This piece is
exclusive to Entertainment Earth and with only 1,750 available, we
can only guess this will sell out quickly, despite the $199.00 price
tag. This is an incredible interpretation, you can see the cockiness
of Boba Fett with the way his head is tilted and his stance. They
did a great job of capturing his likeness. In fact the only thing
that is questionable is the way they made the smoke of the carbon
freezing chamber appear somewhat like lava. Another thing that could
come into question is the pose of Han Solo in the Carbonite, I
believe the pose might be a bit off. What is somewhat interesting is
we get to see the bottom of the Carbonite, I'm sure we all wondered
how that big block was able to stay afloat on the way to the Slave
I. Overall, this is a really nice piece and fans of the Empire
Strikes Back and the animated maquttes should enjoy it thoroughly.
Below is the text from the Entertainment Earth website.
One steamy, frozen chunk of Han... Solo! Here's Boba Fett with Jabba's favorite carbonite wall decoration!
Limited edition statue from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back.
Crafted by Gentle Giant. That's one steamy chunk of Han! Inspired by events seen in The Empire Strikes Back, Boba Fett appears here in this roughly 10-inch animated style resin statue, standing in front of his trophy. The just-frozen Han Solo is stuck in his carbonite block, still steaming from the freezing process that took place just moments earlier. On his way to Jabba the Hutt, Boba is armed with his pistol, rifle, and super-powered suit of Mandalorian armor. This unique take on one of the most famous rivalries in the Star Wars saga presents everybody's favorite bounty hunter as the victor.
While you may never be able to install a carbon-freezing chamber in your own home, this spectacular sculpture will allow you to set up a small chunk of one on your shelf! Measures about 10-inches tall x 7 1/2-inches wide x 6 1/2-inches long. Limited edition of 1,750 pieces.
