1/6 Hot Toys - CMS 011: Boba Fett Arena Suit (Toy Fair 2022 Exclusive)

[DuskRaider]

I got mine in yesterday and have been playing with some poses. This guy is so awesome!

 

[Vortex]

Also hot toys may crank out more.

They would be stupid not to considering all of the current and future peg warmers and this being a hit. ( is it FOMO and/or rarity hype though?)

Sideshow is going to have a ton of HT stock in a few years with all of the IMO poor figure choices and quantity. Just look at all of those pre-orders..

It's going to be a flood.

 

[Ramatuelle]

HT does things that defy all common sense ALL. THE. TIME.

Meanwhile everyone who bought this out of FOMO is b**ching on FB about how they're regretting the purchase. No sympathy. Buy ONLY what you love and what dovetails with your collection, and there will be no pouting later. It seems like a no-brainer to me.

Because of these fools, people who really wanted this out of love of the character missed out. [Me, I would not pay $800 but thats me.] I find it really irksome. May karma find its way back around when those people are trying to PO a figure that is a must-have for *them.* I hope scalpers take it from them and.... yeah.

People that are saying they don’t like it are fishing for PMs with offers.That was their plan from the gate

 

[BurningRage]

HT should make this in 1/4.

HT should make this in 1/4.

Yes they should, I'd be into that!

 

[Ramatuelle]

HT should make this in 1/4.

.... With a really next-level Young Boba headsculpt. Like Jango, but a little scruffier. Maybe longer hair.

I hope they dont do this, because I would have to buy it.

They need to do ESB first.

 

[DuskRaider]

They need to do ESB first.

Agreed. They've done RotJ and soon BoBF, but we need an ESB 1/4 scale Boba.

 

[endor1]

A good idea!
Actually, that's one I've been waiting for since missing the Rotj 1/4 Fett. So, I'm hoping they produce the ESB Fett 1/4 scale in the near future. But, it seems sometimes these things don't always follow the lines of reason.

Hot Toys never follows the lines of reason. Or logic. Or common sense. Or . . . Anything.

Lol, I agree with that % !

my buddy who got this is having an issue where suddenly he cant put the right arm down, the shoulder feels stuck.

it still articulates in almost every direction, but to put his arm down by his side / flush with his body, there is a lot of resistance and it feels like it would snap if you force it.

my guess was the shoulder joint somehow rotated improperly, but I couldnt manage to get it back aligned. anyone have any experience with this on any other similar figures? any suggestions?

Same thing happened with mine. I had to undress it to see what was wrong and get the shoulder joint rotated back to its proper position then it was fine. I don’t know what other figures have this weird shoulder design but it’s not great.

New body and futzing? It looks really dialed in, awesome. There's his neck!

Yes. One of my custom Fett body formulas!
This body with a padded suit:

Honestly, though…I am contemplating customizing it further. I find it’s just a hard figure to see. I might subtly change the color scheme so the design is brought out a bit more. We’ll see…it’s not on my immediate list of things to do.

Weathering the fabric parts might make the armour pop

I agree, quite monochromatic for sure.

Nice work and very impressive! I'm somewhat surprised that these body parts have some basic commonality, but I know there's also your retro fitting skills involved. It's made a big difference, I like it lot. Thanks for sharing.
