1/6th Scale Sideshow Boba Fett Figure

[ShortRound]

Nice!

If you change his body what do you do about the two screws that secure the rear armour? Are they necessary?

The screws aren't necessary. The weight of the jet pack holds the back armor plate down. I did however heat up the neck armor to come down a little more. I also used some extended pegs so I didn't' lose that 1/4" the SS pro has over the slim. Really simple and effective mods.

 

[ShortRound]

Thanks for that.

Would a Narrow Shoulder Truetype do the job? Would that match the SS height?

Not sure. Sorry. Give it a try though.

i was bored today & decided to shoot the fetts.

ssc.........medicom........marmit

Ok. Obviously Sideshow on the left. Are the other two both Medicom?

I just have the Sideshow and the Hasbro, but I keep the Hasbro one close at hand because he DOES talk!

EDIT: Oh! Just noticed that you said the third one is Marmit. Not sure that what is, but Sideshow looks the best!

On a slim TT....

When I finally get my Boba that is the only mod that I was thinking of doing. The gear just looks like it fits so much better. Did you run into any major issues when switching things over?

That does look terrific. Like to see more angles.

I just changed to a slim true type w/leg extenders like Shortie. Body proportions are much better. Will take pictures tomorrow. Oh and no, the screws are not needed to hold the back armor.

Lopie...what did you do to him in total?

Don't know if you posted that already...I'm too lazy to go back and read through the thread

Shortround too!

The only thing I noticed was that the neck armor would lift up higher than on the pro. Could have just been mine.

The crotch armor does have to be unglued from one side and be very careful when handling it. Feels like it'll break if you bend it back too much.

Again, if you don't want to lose any height, find some extended HT ankle pegs. The gloves attach to the HT wrist pegs just fine. That's pretty much it.

Sure.

What are these leg extenders you guys speak of? Are they available to purchase, or do they have to be custom made?

Ah yeah. I think Captain America came with some of those. . .

Thanks.

Yup.

Likely the lack of screwed-in backpack. Jetpack's pulling the neck armor back and up, perhaps.

I'm not sure. But that's the only thing I noticed that I need to "mod" really. Everything else was just switching.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Sure.

 

[ShortRound]

I like to

So glad there's a separate Boba Fett Customizations/Modifications thread to discuss mods on this fig...

Seems like "SSC Boba Fett" and "modification" go hand-in-hand a little too snugly!

Just like "Medicom" and "Crazap" go hand-in-hand a little too snugly!

I didn't use those (male) extenders. I used the ones that actually come attached to the body like the ones that came with Barney Ross (female). They give the same height as the ones in your picture.

God dammit ShortRound... I was all prepared to accept Fett on the Pro body, but this just looks too good.

I still think my laziness will win out over the best possible figure, but the battle is getting closer.
