1/6th Scale Sideshow Boba Fett Figure

[TheSzar13]

I swapped the body and modded the chest. Love him to bits.

what body did you use?

We know it's not a Medicom body, or it would look more like this:

 

[Dinosoar Daz]

Haha No not medicom. I used a Truetype slim

 

[eczamurai]

It's a terrific sculpt and can be tweaked to look closer to 1/6, but the Medi is underscale - doesn't bother some people though.

Let's be honest. The Slim truetype has been replacing the standard body on a LOT of sideshow Fett's as well. A mute point. I will admit the chest pieces looking slightly smallish, but the Medi helmet is not small looking at all IMO. The Sideshow is closer to being too big.

Great pic, great pose.

Body aside, a lot (though not all) of the pieces themselves are undersized for 1/6 - look at the boots for example in the pic. It's unfortunate because the Medi helmet is the best shape-wise (Marmit isn't bad with widening but its too short.) The Medi can be "stretched" and fudged scale wise a bit to be posed with SSC 1/6 figs however. Doesn't look perfect, but pretty close. Some call Medi 1/7 scale, so it's close.

Have to disagree. Marmit is better than the Medi.

Here. Don't know this guy, but he's selling SSC Fett for $180 here on the board: https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=151763

Well... your Fett is still the best I've seen (though eczamurai's is pretty damn close,) so I'll go with your view.

I've just been looking at my Marmit Fett helmet and it just doesn't look "tall" enough - i.e. the vertical black line doesn't extend down enough. It displays okay with the helmet tilted up to hide it, but it's more noticeable head-on.

I'm looking to convert my Marmit Fett into a ROTJ version, so the helmet flare doesn't need to be done. Covering myself with two custom Bobas (the ESB one is Hasbro/SSC/Medi hyrid with mostly scratch-built armor and helmet parts) just in case the HT Boba Fett lands in the $275-300 range.

If SSC hadn't gone Kermit green, messed up the chest armor and used a not-great body, that would have been the best $175 you could spend.

yeah...just like their Vader: They're both very nice figures in and of themselves. Just not for accuracy nuts (such as some of us).

I'm really happy with Sideshow's Snowtrooper and the Bike/Biker Scout looks as good to me as anything HT could do. Do agree about Boba Fett, though. That's probably my most hated SSC figure, ever.

Really? I didn't think you swung that far with the SSC ****oo Fett.. yet you like their Vayda.

Interesting..

WTF is that on the left? The scale is the least of its problems.
Was the helmet supposed to be modeled after the Hasbro real voice Boba Fett Halloween costume? And did they seriously weather that helmet with whiteout?

At least mine gets mentioned.. FU McHaley!

 

[eczamurai]

I think the ESB Medi is an unfair comparison, with it's 6 year distance and all.

This ROTJ Medi is the winner to my eye.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Medicom can never 'win'.

All it can do is a Medi-win.

 

[lazylrx]

Anyone have an idea how likely Boba's waitlist will be converted? Been on there for about 2 weeks now...

lol....ahhhh.

I've been on the waitlist for 2 months, no conversion
