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

[Vortex]

While a striking image/figure for a random Mando - for Boba, It takes all of the individuality out of the character and makes him just another empire looking trooper. Vader's beyotch if you will.

I haven't read the comic.

As opposed to when he was gonna be an all-white version of everything you just mentioned instead?

Thats the problem here. If you read it, youd know this was not a random decision, nor was it permanent. The color change was only for a few hours.

Fett needs a not inconsiderable amount of cash, so he signs up as a fight-pit gladiator. He fights his way through an entire stable of other gladiators. When he kills his final opponent, an honestly-creepy giant spider woman, the Hutt cartel who owned her tells him they are keeping his winnings and taking him as slave so that he can repay them. He promptly tells them to kriff off. All that, and for nothing.

Not having a good day, at all.

Yeah I'm glad he wasn't that. But at least it's got the proto/origin thing going for it. I do prefer it with the beach towel.

Just a matter of time before HT does this. And I’ll be right there when they do.

We need the white one, too! Imagine them both on a shelf together.

Just wanted to point this out from Reagan's video since it was tucked away at the end.

Some of the armor plates are now velcro backed like Din Djarin's.

I'm glad they did this since plate alignment was hit or miss sometimes when they were permanently attached.

And the flak vest does appear to be pleather like Jango and Death Watch Mandalorian. Would've been nice if it were fabric, but maybe they wanted some contrast between the vest and the flight suit.

Dunno. All the wonderful design elements of the original seem to get lost in all that black. It may have translated well on the page of a comic where artistic license could highlight some features, but to me the figure looks like a glob.

Ebony, ivory, living in perfect harmony.

..... But why cant it be polished cotton? Why does it HAAAAAVE to be pleather? iI would think polished cotton would even be cheaper.

Rhetorical question only

And everyone's favorite
Concept all white prototype armor, ...with killer Star Wars beach towel Serape!

All black Fett figure really should have included the alternate vintage beach towel/serape, ... in black.

I am more and more tempted to pick this up but I absolutely hate that pleather undersuit, a completely unnecessary choice on the part of Hot Toys. I’ve gotten rid of all but 4-5 figures in my collection that have significant amounts of pleather—the ones I still have are just cheap figs like TFA Finn, TFA Han Solo, or Dusty Deadpool—and have been trying to avoid adding new stuff with pleather jackets or bodysuits.

Hope we could preorder him soon on Sideshow.
That is a repaint but as a boba addict I have to get it no matter what

I’m still not convinced it’s pleather. It’s tough to tell and still looks like -

I will know by Monday as mine just landed at the Memphis FedEx hub. "Sometimes" FedEx delivers on Sunday. I'm hopeful for that bonus, but should be Monday at the latest...

 

[SOU7567]

Ugh..I kinda actually like this.

 

[Centrocal]

If the armor is held on with Velcro, it could be swapped to a different material later if necessary.

It’s definitely pleather unfortunately, more like what they used on the newer Jango Fett than the previous Bobas. MRCollections gives a pretty good look at it in his video.

That was when he was going to be a squad of super troopers though, not an individual... So your comment kind of proves OPs point
