1/6th Scale Sideshow Boba Fett Figure

[Khev]

We can let go of our hate Khev... now is the time for healing

True, true. Its like at the end of a Disney movie when the bad wizard/witch is defeated and the dark curse is finally lifted off the kingdom and everything goes back to normal.

IG-88 isn't much less than that mind you

Passed on IG-88. Head's WAY off and the price was laughable.

IG-88 looked pretty damn awesome and worth the price in person.

Did Boba look $174.99? not taking the base into account? does it look worth the price? Just wondering.

Damn, I don't care how many negative opinions, I'm not cancelling. I've already cancelled enough. lol SSC's is probably not going to sell to me if I cancel one more item.

How important these light-up features really are? Do people display the figures all lit up? Not bashing, it's a serious question.. I think I'd rather see them taking away the lights and lowering the cost.. The only time I ever use the lights, on any figure, be it SW, Transformers, or any others, is when I first open them.. Or sometimes show it to a friend.. But beyond that, who cares, really? Wouldn't you rather have a cheaper price tag?

At the end of the day they're just gimmicks that jack up the price and will be used a few times, or occasionally used at best. Plus, it's just something else to worry about as a leaky battery can have severe repercussions on the longevity and value of a figure. I'm worried that when the droids come out, the same gimmicks will be used to push them up into the Medi range.

guys!

I prefer a more reasonable price than adding those light-up features w/ jack the prices a bit. Plus, it will save me the trouble of removing them thereby preventing any mishandling to the figure (e.g. HT Mech Test).

You have to take the base into account. Its factored into the price. Boba looked great. He was very detailed and looked like a really awesome figure. I think $175 is the top of the line for Boba despite how awesome he looks.

As far as gimmicks and such I like them. I may not use them all the time but its nice to have incase I want to use it for a bit. Its a nice option to have.

Actually the translucent look can be enhanced with the indoor lighting to look pretty good. If painted...I'd think GR's head would look more like a orange spikey thing. If you place GR infront of a lamp it gives a good effect.

Plus it just looks better IMO than the cheap dollar store toy look you get from painted flames. I don't want my high end collectibles looking like that sorry.

And I even in shadow, or up close it doesn't look cheap to me or my wallet.

Good to know Josh. I am gonna get him for sure. If he is as good as the clones i'm sure i'll be more than satisfied.

My wallet tried to kick me in the shin after buying GR.

He looked better than the Clones I think. The outfit and design of it all worked great. Its one of SS best figures from SW IMO and I'm not a big Boba Fett fan.

He's missing an entire section of his head. Did you miss that?

SO glad I snagged the exclusive on this guy. Having this in-hand and seeing the engineering they clearly put into it is going to be amazing.

This is going to be a really unique SSC figure too - it's a rare figure that they create from scratch.

One thing that is still a bit confusing about this fig - has anyone come up with a reason why the head is so different from the ESB character? It is so radically different, it's obviously intentional:

This is Hasbro 12" fig, movie prop, and SSC (c/u still from video)

It must be based on some other version of IG - CW? EU? Can anyone identify it?

For what Sideshow wants for a barebones droid, they should at least get the goddam head right. Who gives a ____ about 200+ points of articulation if they can't even nail that.

Yeah, I saw this POS at the dollar store and just walked on by:

$3 Hasbro see-through plastic only for me, please.

That's ugly! I would have passed it by too.

Stop reinforcing my own misgivings about purchasing this figure.

The more I look at SSC's IG-88 the more I'm leaning toward just picking up Fett for a Bespin type display instead of Executor bridge.

What's with the top of IG-88's head coming off as if its a Wizard of Oz hat?

That looks like orange hair/fur. lol

May be painted fire just looks way better on polystone than on plastic

Edit: Boba needs a fire shooting from his gauntlet!

You forget that I owed that piece and while its one of the best I've owned it would have been better with the translucent flames. In other words the flames were the weakest part of this statue. So your point proves nothing IMO.

He's missing an entire section of his head. Did you miss that? l

I see a small section missing but didn't know that. I'm not an ____ retentive SW fan that knows every inch of nobody characters like IG-88. Honestly, the part that's missing doesn't hurt the look from seeing it in person.

I'm not either and I'm no IG-88 expert but it was obvious the head's too squat. Add that to the silly asking price and it's .
