INTRODUCTION
No name strikes more fear into the heart of a galactic
fugitive than that of Boba Fett. The famed bounty hunter's cool,
helmeted visage is known to the denizens of countless worlds, though
few have ever encountered the mysterious warrior, and fewer still
would have any clue to his true identity or face.
The product of Kaminoan cloning, Boba Fett was the unaltered clone
and son of Jango Fett, a Mandalorian hunter no less deadly in his
day than his progeny. Trained in the techniques of his people and
gifted with his father's cunning, young Boba follows in Jango's
footsteps after the bounty hunter's untimely death on Geonosis. Boba
Fett's trademarks are his instantly recognizable Mandalorian battle
armor, his scorched jetpack and battered old Firespray interceptor
Slave I, inherited from his father. All the bounty hunter's tools
are custom fitted with modifications and improvements that grant him
the edge in tracking and tackling his marks.
Through a military-style dedication to his art, native predatory
instincts and an innovative battery of hidden surprises, Boba Fett
has carved a reputation as the man who gets the job done. By the
time he is recruited by Lord Vader to hunt down the Millennium
Falcon during the Galactic Civil War, Fett has already become a
feared and respected warrior, standing as an equal among the elite
of his profession and the preferred contractor of Outer Rim crime
lord, Jabba the Hutt. His successful tailing and capture of Han Solo
allows him to collect double on the deal with both the Sith Lord and
the Hutt, and also closes the books on a job that has occupied him
for far too long.
The Premium Format 1:4 Scale Boba Fett figure captures the
mysterious bounty hunter as he appeared in Return of the Jedi. Boba
Fett stands 19 inches tall atop an environmental display base
reminiscent of Jabba's palace with the total weight of 12-pounds.
Every detail of Boba Fett's Mandalorian armor has been reproduced in
true 1:4 scale, as well as his jetpack and braided wookiee pelt
trophies.
SIDESHOW EXCLUSIVE EDITION
The Sideshow Exclusive version of the Boba Fett Premium Format
figure includes a unique accessory available nowhere else, an
accessory designed to enhance your Boba Fett collection, a
wall-mountable Mandalorian artifact, approximately 7" in diameter.
The Premium Format Boba Fett figure is the ultimate Boba Fett
collectible that is SOLD OUT!
Boba Fett has always been a Star Wars fan’s favorite including mine.
I was happy that SideShow was making a Premium Format figure of Boba
Fett until I received this piece of overpriced plastic.
The quality of the piece is way under par compared to the other
Premium Format Figures. The body is not as solid as previous
figures. It is very lightweight and stands at a weird tilt.
Most of the figure is a cheap plastic type material that is
represented in the armor, helmet, and jetpack. The rest in the
fabric clothing. Unlike other premium format figures there is no
head so it is covered up with a helmet that has some details that I
did not know about. Overall the detail represented on this figure is
good.
I am not happy with the base at all. It is made out of a thick
rubber material. It is lightweight and in my opinion not of good
quality.
The exclusive piece with this item is the Mandalorian symbol on a
coaster type material disc that hangs on the wall. A neat little art
piece but the exclusive could have been so much more. I would of
liked a representation of Han Solo in Carbonite since the two
characters have such a history in the Star Ware universe.
I know that a lot of studying went into making this figure a
reality. For such a respected character it seems that this item is
cheap, not only in quality but as an overall product. This makes me
feel that this piece is overpriced for something that does not have
that wow factor as previous premium format figures.
