1/6th Scale Sideshow Boba Fett Figure

[Wor-Gar]

If SS ever makes Nute, they have to make an Amidala head the EX.

Give me some EU characters.

Sith Lords, especially Revan

Death Watch, especially Pre Vizsla

Man I really want to like Pre Vizsla because he is pretty cool, but I can't get over his name. The moment I heard it I thought, "This is just a joke from the art department, right? Naming him previs?" Then I looked it up and it's true, Filoni said that's the origin of his name.

It's like they named him "Concept Artal." It's just so on the nose it's distracting.

What the ever loving ****... so now they are re-releasing previous sold out figures, but with less stuff. Pretty damn shady... and a bit more painful since this one does look to have a better tailored vest (at least compared to the final product we all bought) and the removable rocket.

It seems Sideshow just wants me to stop buying there stuff all together

I like the working rocket, but the vest looks to be the same boxy type. Look close.

I think the suit's too dark too. And the green is still wrong. What's so hard about getting the right colors?


Anyway, waiting for HTs.

lol, the kid reviewing kind of looks like a plastic figure.
That figure sucks. There, I said it for all those that are afraid to.

Well, I decided to get the first SS boba scum on ebay. Payed a reasonable price for the exclusive edition with the mandalorian stand. Since I got already the 1/4 HT ROTJ, I decided to also have a figure representing the second movie. Shame HT is not into ESB.

That being said, I'm glad I didn't pick up the reissue at SS. Would have payed same amount of money for a figure that lacks a proper base (mine has 2 decent ones), has no accessories whatsoever and looks worse than the first edition.

This is really a big slap in the face to Hot Toys, who is probably the only thing keeping Sideshow afloat these days!

First, is no one going to call them out for trying to FOOL PEOPLE into believing this belongs with the Hot Toys line? They are now presenting their figures with the exact same exact fonts/character logo that Hot Toys uses! What a bunch of BS!

Then, you're going to regurgitate an old Boba figure (while taking away accessories and upping the price) and release it right before Hot Toys releases their own Boba figure? Boy, they are really getting cheap and desperate nowadays!

I really hope that Sideshow goes out of business soon. Put the licenses they have into more deserving hands.

Does anyone have one of these weird Reissue Fetts yet ? it would be interesting to see if this 3rd reissue is different again to the second reissue, looks like the mandalore symbol is blue this time instead of green

OMG That review was painful the guy reminded me of the kid from the wonder years and i couldnt get a good close up look at Boba , looks like the wookie scalps are upgraded, the vest looks at least like the right colour now. but now i have the hot toys 1/4 Fett , the new 3RD reissue sideshow one looks like gob****e

According to the reviewer the figure has "30 points of articeration". Sideshow added new features to this release.

 

[mikesgtrs]

Dont get me wrong , when i first got Fett , back in 2012 ish, i loved it , i loved it better when the second reissue came out and the chest armor was curvier and the vest was the correct color. I just dont know if I can go down the same road again with the same figure for more money and less stuff when the hot toys one is coming out in 1/6 as well and looks tonnes better and its the same ****ing price

 

[Wor-Gar]

Still no direct comparison pictures from anyone of the V1 and V2...?

 

[jedibear]

Does the Sideshow v2 have a different (newer/more posable) base body than the first version?

 

[jedibear]

Ah, thanks for that, Kuat....was hoping it was a newer one.

Here's a fresh look at the Sideshow one from 2012,,,,



...if anyone has some fresh shots of the new release....please....let's see 'em.

 

[Wor-Gar]

It's the little arms that's always bugged me. Josh Brolin arms.

I feel like I should sell mine now before HT announces ESB Fett,

 

[Creighton]

Dude, now that you pointed out those arms. I can't un-see them. lol

 

[barryo]

T-rex arms........lol

Im down for another round of fetts. To me he's a character that you cant have too many versions of.

 

[SithThundercracker]

Body swap is mandatory for this guy...

 

[jedibear]

What is recommended for that body swap? I'm getting the HT version, but I'm still very partial to this version. I like Sideshow ' s take on the outfit and gear a lot. It's got a "lived-in" visual vibe that works...it's just that base body with the thin, small arms and limited articulation in the legs that drive me crazy....

Still plan on keeping this one, even with the new HT on the horizon. ..
