1/6th Scale Sideshow Boba Fett Figure

[MxBxM]

Just cut the plastic and leave little circles on top of the green dot to hold it.

So given the exposed Pro at the midsection was debunked, the Wookie braids are a non-issue, and the vest is now proving to be an easy fix (though ******* will no doubt _____ about a simple boil 'n' dip being beyond their lowbrow capacity to comprehend), I wonder what the next point of contention will be amongst the bandwagon Sideshow haters.

The only problem I see is the neck/shoulder armor is overlapping the top chest armor, there should be a gap as seen below:

Someone was complaining about the girth belt being red when it is clearly brown.

I just keep staring at the after pictures... such a dramatic difference. I really had hoped it was just a piece of plastic under the armor; happy to see it was such an easy fix.

Although it looks better it exposes the lower mid section too much, and belt area looks funny, the armor should be sitting lower. Again this is something none of us should even be having to do...PERIOD. I did end up cancellling my exclusive version, so I'm not just talking, they are not getting my money on this guy.

I really wish we could all collectively agree and send back these figures demanding better of SSC, ah if only .....

Boba usually has something across his mid section, but you can see that the SSC figure actually has the vest/armor at the right place.

Bath salts?

Looking at that shot, the skinnyassed Pro might be screen accurate.

Does the rangefinder rotate downward?

Sure does:

Here's a couple other shots, different angles. I was happy with him out of the box, but I am really, really happy with him now:

And thanks for all your kind words guys! I'm by no means the world's greatest customizer, but this was a pretty easy fix...and even if you don't do anything, this figure is still pretty amazing!

Gotta fix that Bib!

Wonderful pics

Finally received my long due shipping notice. But it looks like I won't be getting him until next week, so it's another weekend to wait.

Until then, I guess I'll just read up on all the fixes required.

But I must say Boba looks fantastic in Billy Ray's pics! I'll be thrilled if I can manage that, can't wait to have him in hand.

Cool poses in Rubio's pics too.

 

[Niltusk]

What a bad ass shot. Love the angle and all the detail.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Love that shot too, Rubio.

Great work on all the mods, guys! Good to see there are a couple of options for the vest fix.

 

[OSCORP]

Nice shots Rubio best yet.

 

[Batty]

Love the stance in those pics, rubio.

Really looking forward to mine now!

Is there any way of doing the hot water trick without getting the plastic on the back wet and causing it to shrink? Also, what is water treatment? How would you do it for the braids?

 

[cokebabies]

Bad. Ass.

 

[Elbosenasoles]

Sheesh, finally got a shipping notice....looks like Friday the 13th will be lucky for me! I'm digging the hot water solution so far, though honestly I'm not sure if I'll go to that length in attempting to fix the issue. I suppose I'll have decide when he gets here!

 

[FLOSI]

Now here's what I did...

I didn't really have any intention of messing with him, but since I had him taken apart, I figured I would see what I could do with some hot water...

If you choose to try this, proceed at your own risk! I heated up some water in the microwave just shy of boiling, about 3 minutes on high, pretty hot but not boiling. Dipped just the bottom of the vest in for about 20 sec or so and bent the bottom plate to my liking. Here's the thing though, the clear plastic backing acted almost like a shrinky dink and kind of got a little warped as you can see below. Not really a big deal to me, it's hidden and still functional but, once again, proceed at you own risk If the water had been hotter, or I left it in longer, this may have proven disastorous!

Anyway, with some curvature in the ab plate, I decided to put him all back together after letting things cool and dry and this is the result:

Since I had the water out, I went ahead and water treated the Wookiee scalps as well. They are still wet in these pics:

And here he is, all put back together:

And there it is... Easy fix. Awesome work, Billy Ray!!!!
