Thx!, Boba approves!
Looks like the new Boba Feet REISSUE Version is definitely different to the first relelase .
I actually had the original in hand the other day and I should have taken photos .
these are the differences :
1) curved lower chest plate
2) Plastic insert inside the flak vest is now reshaped or gone altogether
3) the joints on the body are tighter and he can stand better on his own
4) The Helmet colour is actually are more closer green to the actual helmet - first version is too light.
5) the battle damage ( blueish black scorche marks are noticeably darker on the Reissue
6) The jump suit is longer on the Reissue but the tools pockets are smaller and the tools don't fit very well
7) the gap between the pockets on the ammop belt is wider but the belt is stronger and the Velcro sticks better
8) The cape is glued to the correct position and there is a small square piece on top of the cape attachment
9) the Velcro sticks better than on the cuffs ( pants ) on the reissue
10) the flak vest appears to be a slightly different colour but resembles more of that colour seen I the corridor when Han is being tortured.
11) The original flak there are two versions , more of a white tan and also a dark tan there seems to be variations .
12) the reissue diamond armour in the centre is darker than the original , yet the original I had had the main armour darker then the diamond. The reissue is the other way around
13 ) The details on the helmet appear sharper on the reissue and there is slightly more silver weathering on it than the original
14) the wookie braids are longer but still appear show string like.
15) the magnets are stronger

Now how about comparing to what was shipping late last year? I seem to recall some of these things like the chest and longer pants, being mentioned at that time. So far it sounds like a few more units are going out to retailers, but this isn't a global re-release with its own product page.

If this pic is correct, the end of the gun barrel looks shorter (which is good), but the mid barrel is still wrong.Dunno. Saw this too a couple of days ago but was a bit suspicous having not heard of it here on the boards:

It looks the same as the gun I have on my SSC Fett (which I bought second-hand and assume was the first production run).
Took advantage of the seasonal weather over the weekend and took some photos of my Boba in the garden. Still love this guy. Hot toys new return of the jedi one looks amazing though!
Nice shots and the cape looks great!

Ok..so after two years almost of this coming out.. what is the best option for a body swap on this? I know TT Slim seemed to be the front runner.. is there a less expensive option that doesn't require a ton of mods? I am okay with a non HT brand.

How about a TT-slim-like body? There are some on eBay. Unfortunately one lower priced source of them is listed on eBay.uk, but they don't ship to the US. Weird. I think Soldier Story S2.5 or similar might also work well, though it would be a little taller than HT slim type.
ZC/ZCWO have also had bodies that are TT-slim-like in the past you might be able to find.

I had it from day one and did the mods (If you look back I actually was the one who did the cutting of the plastic under vest) but never swapped the body.. Now I want a little project to do and have meant to do it forever.

Heres some images and info that should help - I posted it on another thread a few weeks ago, copied it over for you.
Complete list of what I've done to my Sideshow ESB Boba Fett.
Rebodied onto hot toys caucasian narrow shoulder, with padded upper chest, Padding is nothing special! - wrapped in tissue paper and taped) modified the forearms with a knife and used and original boba fett neck. I also had to trim down the original sideshow wrist pegs to fit into the HT arms.
trimmed plastic inside chest armour and bent it a little more rounded(lots of guides on the forums for this)
Opened up all the pockets on the flight suit and cut down or removed the foam to get rid of the bulky square pockets
wrapped flak jacket lots tighter to body for more fitted look
used the end of a scissor blade to 'distress' the end of the cape using a photo of the movie cape as reference
elbows look way better
you can see how natural the figure looks standing
trimmed arms
distressed cape

Hope all that helps![/QUOTE]

Thanks alot.. looks great.. I have a Narrow Shouldered KO that I will try.. glad you posted cause I tried the gauntlets and realized he is too bulky in the forearms... but seeing you shaved them down helps.. im gonna try that. Worst case its a $15 body.

Thanks for the tips with the narrow shoulder...nice alternate for the expensive TT Slim, $14.00. I dont know how you shaved those forearms down with a knife.. took my Dremel to them.
