Interesting. Looks like all the photos are new, and they've removed the ones w/IG-88 and Bossk. No idea how Boba can be Waitlist this long after he sold out. Guess must have something to do with the rumoured re-release for Asian/European markets, if I heard that correctly? But if that's the case, it's sort of shady, as I thought the idea was that this stuff is supposed to be limited. Kinda curious, anyway.
That is curious. Must be Sideshow's 'last chance' attempt to milk their own Boba Fett before HT takes it's superior crack at this figure before next year's end.
Same thing they're doing with Vader in January. Selling as many as possible while they can.
If you disagree with the above, then why is it only Vader and Fett that have this mysterious "re-issue" going on?
Well, let's hope thata Jango is just the old moled proto...
I think when the inevitable HT Fett will be announced it will be a combination of all the thing sideshow and medi did good combined in one outing. Along with a perfect paint app.
The Sideshow offering is a big let down IMO. That square vest for example is just something that is not acceptable, and the headsculpt is something that shouldn't be SO off. Actually, apart from the ESB Vader I've never been happy with a Sideshow outing for the price they ask, except SS Jedi Luke. Emperor with it's big ass cloak for 150$+, Vader only needed a dome fix and he was good enough for me. Though I guess it's too bad they went for an idealized Vader and not a specific Vader.
TLR SS is overpriced, and HT is trumping them in every aspect.
In terms of their armor characters and aliens, I'd say Sideshow>Hot Toys right now. Ask me again in a year
Do agree about Boba Fett, though. That's probably my most hated SSC figure, ever.
So I should have them remove my name from the wait list? I personally like the way the figure photographs, especially after small mod to the chest armor. The braids kind of bugged me, but I can look past them. Fett's nowhere near the top of my favorite SW character list (if I had one) and I think the character was totally wasted (and badly written) in the scripts of the OT. But I like what I see in photos of the figure anyway.
Fett is my all time favorite SW character, and the focus of my collection, and I can say that although this figure isn't 100%, he is still a really solid Fett, definitely the best on the market with some minor modifications
Honestly only if you really want the ESB version I would say that. The ROTJ Medi looks alot better to my eyes. ROTJ Medi is IMO the best Fett you can get out of the box. Unless you want esb.
