The Hasbro Slave 1 and 1/1 Helmet make for an awesome display.Glad I recently shelled out for the Hasbro Slave 1. Last I checked it can still be had for retail altough not cheap at $150.

I think it has to do with what people can afford. I choose to go with the deluxe Tython set and then get the repaint version without the throne. Best of both worlds for me , plus I have 9 other po's I have to worry about next year.I don't see why people are choosing between the two. BOTH are great.
All I'd say is: this Monk look with the Sarlacc-escape armor is a one-and-done. You'll never see another Boba Fett full figure like that. True, the armor has popped up and will again on Cobb Vanth. Maybe even a true BF Sarlacc-escape from a flashback... but not in his current "Wanderer" attire.
On the other hand, the repainted armor is quite likely to have a v2 and even a v3 depending how long it lasts on Season 1. Smooth armor, battle-damaged, who knows... but like Mando, this new Boba Fett is going to get the Iron Man treatment. Count on it.repaiont
Honestly this whole set is too narrow. I’m completely amazed that Hot Toys, after 5 Boba Fetts so far, have failed to get the helmet proportions correct. The head is so narrow and the vertical visor is far to long.You have to wonder why they would have made the throne the right height but narrowed it by 50%. It's not like the prop's twice the size of the one HT has made, so was impractical to produce in 1/6.
Or..what if he gives them to her for use when he becomes Major Crime Boss on TatooineThis Fett will make good use of his new knee pads when Koska Reeves arrives.
Googled it and nothing came up soI'm not sure how accurate it is but Justin (Collections) said that "Slave 1" will still be referred to as is in the shows and it's only in regards to products of the ship where it will be named differently.
Edited: Sorry, DakRen mentioned this before.
This 1/72 scale has excellent detail as well.The Hasbro Slave 1 and 1/1 Helmet make for an awesome display.
We're only talking an extra 2", maybe 2 1/2" in width to make it accurate though.I think Hot Toys is purposely scaling down the throne chair. If it were screen accurate I would not buying it due to limited space.
Smart decisionWell after going back and forth for four days, I finally settled on the standard version. The figure just looks so much cooler with the helmet on, and I'll already have the Monk Boba for displaying the Morrison sculpt, which I think is where that one looks best anyway.
And while the throne is cool I can't see myself caring as much about it in 2 years time when this finally comes out, or wanting to keep the figure in a sitting pose when there are so many other badass action poses I'd rather put him in. Much like with Solo Maul and that stool he came with.
I have to say the Repaint Boba without the throne is at a good price at $245. You see Bo-Katan at $280, Erosion Boba at $280 and he is $10 more than the DW Mando.Well after going back and forth for four days, I finally settled on the standard version.

I think collectors are going to be disappointed when he arrives and they sit him down and realize that it looked better with the extra Jabba base under the chair lolC'mon jye, if Fett is gonna be king pimp of Jabba's Palace the man needs that chair!
I'm planning to buy the single repaint armor BF figure and display him sitting on a 3D printed (ie accurately sized, unlike the HT version) throne-chair and then place it up on my old (replaced by V2) Sideshow Jabba throne. Then take my second Bib Fortuna and have him slumped dead at Boba's feet.I think collectors are going to be disappointed when he arrives and they sit him down and realize that it looked better with the extra Jabba base under the chair lol
