I always thought that Fett was one of SS's best. It's still good. But also this is the rerelease right? Think they 'fixed' the box chest.
I sold my SS Fett in anticipation of the HT version. ESB is the better movie but ROTJ has the better costume in my opinion...
 
The more comparison I see the more impressed I am with SS. I assumed HT would make SS inferior but it's not the case. I was hoping that the would be "night and day" so it would be a easier discussion to make the HT purchase. Now im seriously considering putting the $360 back in my pocket. I not sure if the slight tweaks and differences warrant the purchase.

I know I will be very impressed with HT figure but curious if I would feel more "ripped off" dropping big dollars for slight teams here and there in a 1/6 Boba Fett (not differences in outfit in movies). I have already blown my load at the WOW factor of a 1/6 Fett with SS. Is there enough in HT to blow my load again?

I have to agree with what you said......that's why I'm buying both ;) In a lot of cases SS need to step it up to be a worthy contender. Some of their figures are great though, like the Fett and the Snowtrooper
 
Mine arrived today, great looking figure.

Have to decide which 1/6 version I'm keeping, but needed to see the HT Fett in hand rather than making the decision based on pics

They all look good in this particular picture.

$360?!? There's only a $35 difference between the Sideshow Fett compared to the basic HT one.

As someone who has both, the Sideshow costing $200 is the bigger ripoff:lol
 
For all the hate Sideshow gets, I think that looks damn good next to the new Hot Toys figure. The only thing that's ever been an issue for me is the boxy chest armor. Never have the balls to attempt the mods I see on here. I was gonna buy extra chest armor to try, but never found it for a price I was willing to pay. In the right pose it can be hidden well enough. I prefer ESB Fett over RotJ Fett so unless I decide I want/need to have both I'm now quite satisfied with seeing how Sideshow's looks. Plus, Sideshows was $180 (I only paid $120 with using some rewards) and Hot Toys is $235 - $260. Not worth the $50 - $80 premium for me. Also I'll take the awesome light up Sideshow base to the deluxe Hot Toys Sarlaac base any day!! Thanks for the pics!!! :clap




Thanks for this also. Been waiting to see how the Sideshow v2 looks next to v1, but with both these pics I can see some differences. I like my v1 better.. :yess:

Also noticed it looks like the new Sideshow v2 is much shorter than original v1? In the comparison pics with Hot Toys, v1 looks slightly taller than HT while in the pics with v2 is shorter !!

Have to agree. EMPIRE is the film I'd like my Fett to be from and with the HT being from JEDI... Now if HT every made an EMPIRE Fett then I'd be up a creek so to speak.

HT deluxe ver. has two bases. You could sell Sarlacc base for a $100.

Yeah, I'm sure it would go for a pretty penny. But my OCD would make me feel like I have an incomplete figure...:gah:.... :lol Plus I do think the base is worth the extra $25 for the deluxe. But if I decide to pick this up down the road and miss out on the deluxe, no biggie as it would just stay in the box or be a backdrop like someone posted on here in a photo. More an accessory for display. I just love the Sideshow light up base. I would never buy the re-release SS Fett v2. $20 more for less is a joke. If anything it should've at least been priced the same, not more. If I didn't have one at all or any preference towards ESB or RotJ character differences, I'd just go for regular HT Fett at $235.
 
Thanks Jay. If it's not too much trouble can you try the ESB gauntlets/jet pack on the Hot Toys version and post front/back pics?

I'm thinking about getting a 2nd ROTJ to make an ESB version. Thanks.

I'll try to get some pics later this week. I took a bunch last night that I was going to sprinkle on my IG throughout the week but I have a bball league game tonight and BvS tomorrow night, so it wouldn't be until this weekend:lol

Jay, have you done any weathering to either of these...pastels on the cloth parts?

I haven't done anything to either figure. Alot of the earlier pictures didn't show much weathering on the suit but it's definitely noticeable in person.
