Very awesome pics.

Beautiful photos, Pantone! Did you mod Boba?

Cheers for the positive comments.

Yep, but I just trimmed the plastic sheet behind the vest, and couldn't get the ab-plate to curve.

Exquisite gallery there, Pantone!

Finally decided to break this out!

Just a few simple mods. Put it on a TrueType Slim and got rid of the plastic behind the vest . . . . . .

Great photos, TK. Looks fantastic with Han in carbonite. I was going to try and avoid switching Boba to the TT Slim, but I may have to do it at some point down the road. His stance just seems a bit more relaxed with the TT.

Is there a trick to the knees on him, or are they really stiff, mine can't bend his knees. I undid the pant cuff and went up his leg and looked at the knee, and the "cap" when pressure to flex is put on seems to want to pop forward.

Anybody else have this? Is this just a really STIFF joint?

Also, how do the four little leg things go?

I've had the same issue with the knee, and it's more severe on the right one. But I haven't pulled up his pants to have a look yet, as the velcro is so weak, I'm afraid it'll become useless if I take it on and off anymore.

He looks very natural on the TT Slim there TK, I'm sure he'll be a lot more fun to pose too after the switch.

They go in the little pockets on his shins.

In some of these photos you can't see Fett's cape.
How are you folding it so it isn't seen in the photo?
Does anyone have a pic of what it looks like?
Would it ruin the wire if you try and fold it so it doesn't always stick out to the side?

Great photos guys. My final flex-pay goes out next week and I can't wait!

Anyone able to tell me how large his Helmet is compared to Medi Fett? Was hoping to put the Sideshow earpieces on my Medi to make it more accurate.


Earpieces bug the hell out of me on my Medi. Wrong color ánd wrong shape.

looks awesome on the slim TT

Here are some shots:

And a couple with the ol' gang.

I trimmed the clear plastic backing all along the outer edge up to the rivets. I tried to curve the bottom armor plate with a blowdryer but it didn't do much, so I heated the clear plastic and manipulated it so it gave the armor a nice overall contour. Great figure!

This figure was not on my "radar" but I saw it displayed at my local collectable store and I said .......DAMMMMMNNN!!!
Maybe the way it was posed but I really liked it. Now I am considering the purchase. Need your help guys should I or keep the money for a future HT release.

Well I went ahead and made the purchase. I like it. I goes well beside other HT's figures in my displays.....

Need an unbiased opinion guys. Someone is giving me a good deal om the GG boba and its on the same price as with this. Should i grab that first?

 

[Wor-Gar]

I also need some feedback/help:

Some of you may know my Boba Fett vest problem -- puncture holes. Well, I have been OK'd for a replacement vest but now I'm being told that Sideshow would prefer to send me a replacement of the entire figure.

Should I gamble on a brand new figure... or just get the vest replaced?

I'm not sure if they check to make certain their replacement figures are good quality... but my figure did come with a number of smaller issues (paint slop, belt pouches peeling off belt, etc) -- all easy to fix but...

Anyone know how replacement figures are shipped? Do they come nice and clean like the original or are they tossed out to quell complaints?

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Go ahead with a new figure. The new figure will come exactly as if you ordered the figure new. Boxed, sealed, etc. At least that has been my experience. The only downside is the time it will take for you to mail yours out, them to process it, and then wait for the replacement to come.

When I got a replacement new figure, I just got the figure, wrapped in bubble wrap in their typical mailer. It was fine though.

Go for the new figure. It won't have any problems like your current one.
