Very meh about this figure and can't figure out why, exactly. Put him back in storage
I was thinking about how he doesn't fit in very well with my collection at the moment. Basically for me it's just that he's the only non-ANH non-TFA figure. I'll likely put him away to make space when Yoda and Old Han arrive.

Nice one Yoshi!
Thanks, bro!
Haha, thank you!
Boba displays well just on his own, proud to have this piece in my collection.

Anyone know what shade of paint is used for the maroon section of his helmet? I was looking at mine and I noticed he has an unpainted strip on the area surrounding his visor. Unfortunately SSC isn't providing any more replacement parts. I don't know what to do.

Finally found a fair deal on the deluxe one.
I like the Sarlacc a lot...yeah it's undersized and everything but it does its job visually.
Boba is well executed, awesome paintjob...not sure about the underlying body tough. It seems a little too beefy for Boba. Also I would have loved some magnetic enhancement for the backpack. Although not accurate it would have saved some trouble while messing around with the clamp stand!
Some comparison shots with my old customized SSC (on a much slender TT slim).

I gotta say keep the fatsuit, the proportions look weird without it. At least it did on mine, I ended up putting it back on.

Can anyone help me with this? Any idea what shade of paint was used? Hell, even a hex color code would be a life saver.

Fett is my second favorite figure in my collection, and one of my favorite characters. I hate seeing the figure broken, especially seeing as we won't see another HT RoTJ Fett for a very, very, very long time.
Maybe this will help - for my custom ROTJ Boba (using the HT helmet) I tried to match the maroon of the HT helmet for the gauntlets. I mixed Tamiya flat red and flat blue and it seemed to be very close. Just play with the mixture.

Medicom Boba still holds up well IMO...

Ended up removing it, altough it was a pretty troublesome (decided not to unglue the buttpiece so everything went in and out in tiny spaces).
Here's some more pics with the guys (1/4 still has is fatsuit on). I must say I find 1/6 Boba more satisfying than 1/4, which is visually much more appealing but with a worst helmet sculpt and inferior body in terms of poseability.
Nice. The SS one definitely looks like the weaker one out of the three
For whatever reason I prefer the proportions of the SS figure. The fine details are killer on the HT Boba Fett, but the chest feels too round to me and he has this squat look to him. Hopefully they nail the ESB version. Maybe I'm just not too keen on Boba figures in general. I had the SS V1 and wasn't overly thrilled by that at the time.
