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

[Jaycepticon]

Yeah, I don’t see anybody having a problem getting one from Sideshow if they really wanted one. As long as they don’t wait too long.

 

[dukefett]

This will probably be like every other Toys Fair exclusive lately and be in stock at Sideshow for a year+, I wouldn't worry at all and would consider waiting for a free shipping discount at least like The Armorer and others have gotten.

I’m gonna give it a 1-3 months, at most. Boba Fett collectors are a different beast of buyers from people looking to add someone like The Armorer to their collection

Yeah, I think the same was said for the Supertrooper Sideshow and HT Holiday Special Fetts about them being available for a long time. Maybe the Supertrooper was, but once it was gone, those aftermarket prices hit hard. All I know is that I have a FedEx hub five miles from my house which means this Fett will be in my hand hopefully by the weekend.

 

[Sassafras]

It’s funny how I draw the line at having too many mandos in the display but with clones, I want every color scheme.

Well so far Din D'jarin is the only fig I see doing multiples of; so far I like his story arc. For me an all black Boba IS milking it. But if it makes Boba fans/collectors happy, am good with it.

At least maybe they'll get a Toy Fair EX in faster than my Grogu accessory set #1, which keeps getting delayed.

Animated Fett was definitely around for a really long time, just no one cared about it. I remember that I kept putting off and putting off ordering one while it sat in stock at Sideshow. When it finally did hit waitlist I was easily able to get one off PopCultcha, and even they had it in stock for a few more months after that.

Nowadays the comics are as canon as the movies. Black Boba is a thing.

*innocent* like that chrome clone trooper was...? I think he was up for order for two weeks.

I would happily cancel that for Arena Fett.

Black Chrome Boba Fett without being called Black Chrome Boba Fett

What the hell. Just give us this type of stand all the time.

Yea definitely would love these to become standard now that they've adapted it without the bricks and what not.

The Kanan comic was partially retconned by Bad Batch so I don't think we can say the comics are as canon as the movies.
And I'm sure no director would be beholden to the comics if they wanted to do something that contradicted them in a film they were making.
I know Disney claim its all one big equal canon now, but this has been proven false by retcons in Bad Batch and Mando season 2.
In reality, modern Disney approved Marvel comics are the same as the old comic/book tier canon of the EU.

Comic canon are like temporary tattoos. It’s canon and excites the majority of fans until some new writer/director just decides to re-write and trump it with their own version of things.

Not true at all. There have been multiple instances of Disney retconning their own comics and novels when including the stories/characters in movies/tv shows now.

To me it’s not canon until it appears on screen in a movie/show/game.

Well that was a Celebration exclusive I think. The Toy Fair ones have all been made in large quantities, for the last couple years anyway.

Agreed. This is likely being made in higher quantities. And all the artificial scarcity FOMO tactics with the codes on top of Clones just being popular pushed those sales a bit.

I don't think you'll have any problems ordering it. But doesn't hurt to get the order in sooner than later if you really want it.

Well the comics are *theoretically* as canon as the movies. Of course as stated above there are times a filmmaker/showrunner will "pull rank" on the LF Story Group, but that's a failure of management.

Put it this way, anything not directly contradicted on-screen is canon (which is how it was with the EU too).

The EU was divided internally into 6 tiers of canon.

G (George), T (TV), C (Continuity), S (Secondary), D (Detours), and N (Non-canon).

Most of the EU content fell into the C tier. If there was conflict, it'd be dropped to S tier. D and N were everything else.

So while most of the EU was canonical, Episodes I-VI and TCW took precedence and overrode anything else.

When Disney took over, they did away with all the tiers and have tried to keep everything at the same level of canon, but that lasted for all of like 3 days. It feels like it's mostly just reverted back to how it was, with everything that's not film or show being canon until something happens to override it.

Although they say they only do that with good reason.

And the Disney stuff minus Mando and Rogue One P(Poop).

Yup. In George's mind only G-canon counted, but for the rest of the world you could accept pretty much everything but N-canon.

Yeah his personal core canon was ultimately what he put on screen or noted down which is understandable.

Even though at times it didn’t feel quite as black and white as that as he gave input and approval for elements of the EU.

Although that’s all gone now anyway, which is still a bit sad.

 

[Ramatuelle]

Yep, there might be some who are turned off by another Fett re-paint, but they are outnumbered by the lunatics who gobble this up...myself included. You can't say this won't have some really nice shelf presence! Good lord, I'm thinking about making a life size version to go alongside my Supertrooper.

Ask yourself not What does the fox say, but what does the WIFE say....?

[If she's anything like my husband, she'll just cast her gaze heavenward and not say anything.]

Chad Fett would look freakin BONKERS as a life size, if you do this, post it in Customs plz.
