1/6th Scale Sideshow Boba Fett Figure

[devilof76]

Not quite Stormtrooper chest armor simple, but pretty freaking simple.

dont tell us all of your hobbies....

I prefer nymph poop, if you must know.

Honestly this is a pretty minor fix compared to what some figures need. It's a bit of a pain, but the difference is worth it.

Not to mention you can also wet down the braids at the same time and get them to look much better

thank god is a minor and easy fix

Interesting they are different and cool Sideshow figured out that placing the switch on the back was better than the bottom

Yeah, that is a very good change.....glad to hear it

Wow is all that needs to be said.

And what's with the generic SW stand?

Yep, looks good and all the plates have a bit of distance between them (some of the mods seem to have pushed the chest plates just underneath the shoulder armour). Hmm, guessing cut some platic and heat/water applied just to the lower stomach plate?

Kinda neat to see both Boba's listed in the top ten SW items for sales. If I hadn't over-spent on our vacation recently I'd probably pick-up a second Boba as an exclusive. That EX stand is growing on me, but still can't see using it in favour of the Bespin one. Kinda surprised the EX has been available as long as it has, though. Seems like a pretty safe flipping opportunity.

Consistency.

 

[Billy Ray]

Billy, when you bent the ab plate, did you bend in the middle or just the, for lack of a better terms, tabs on the side of it?

And would a hair dryer work? Not as hot as a heat gun, yet allows more control than the hot water trick.

Yeah, just the tabs on the side (thought I mentioned that a while back). I just kind of put my thumb on one tab, forefinger on the other, and pinched it so the tabs curved. This is the best shot that shows how much curve I gave it:

Really just enough to eliminate the boxy look.

Love this pic. Good colors.

Love this too, great futzing right there.... except you left us hanging, dude. Whattttttttttttttt????



And where.... is the Nam? Need pics.

 

[King Darkness]

Ok, so I lied, I came back. Just real quick though. Used a blow dryer to slightly alter the shape of the armor. And took a razor blade to the plastic in the back and trimmed all the edges to a rounded edge all the way around. Hope that helps.


Okay, leaving for real this time

Blow dryer worked? Fantastic.
