Re: Boba Fett Life-Size Bust

I'm still holding on to the hope that Sideshow is adding the jetpack!:pray:
:chew

yeah, that isn't going to happen (although I am holding out hope as well). It is the main reason this will not be in my collection. I have no issue with paying more if it got us his jetpack.
 
Re: Boba Fett Life-Size Bust

I think if you really want one you can make one. Meaning the jetpack. Just sayin'. :huh
 
Re: Boba Fett Life-Size Bust

Oh I'd pay more for the jetpack. I'm wondering though, what is to stop them from creating one later, to be sold seperately, to go with the bust? Don't they create environments for the 12" figures, etc? Why not offer this as an addition for those who want it? Deak, can you e-mail Brandt with that suggestion? Would be kinda cool if you ask me. A long shot, but with the number of people who want it, who knows!

Just an update on the Fett man!

Sideshow Collectibles: It was only a couple months, right (if I remember correctly)? October to December (it originally launched with a 4th Qtr 2010 estimate). Pretty sure they decided to add electronics to it so it was bumped back a couple months, but I'll check to make sure! ... And keep in mind, the best way to get answers to specific questions about single items (or orders) is to contact our Customer Service department!

Re: Boba Fett Life-Size Bust

Unless there was a problem with the chest lights- which by the video looked just fine, the only lights to ad would be the 2 blinking lights on the rangefinder
 
Re: Boba Fett Life-Size Bust

The latest newsletter has Boba shipping in the next 30 days.
 
Re: Boba Fett Life-Size Bust

If it is really shipping within 30 days, then non-flex pay customers should get an e-mail notice any day now.

Mainly because it'd be difficult to attach to it and that unlike environments which are specialized to go with one figure but can be used for various others, this would be solely for the Fett. I don't see it happening. I guarantee IF they were doing to do it, it'd have been molded to the back of the piece itself (well part of it).
 
Re: Boba Fett Life-Size Bust

I think the backpack would HAVE to be a separate piece. Slapping it on the back would look...odd. Besides there is a little bit of space between the pack itself and the armor. To have it flush would look weird on a high end collectible.

Maybe that's why it he doesn't have it's jetpack? :dunno
 
Re: Boba Fett Life-Size Bust

I don't see the problem. Yes it would have to be a separate piece. The stand for Darth Vader's helmet is separate. Life sized busts sit on shelves. They aren't carted around daily. How hard would it be to place a separate backpack behind the bust?

Well the stand for the Vader helmet isn't something that was used in the movies so it makes sence that it's a seperate piece. But the Jetpack is something differend. It would look weird if it would be a seperate piece because it them would "hang" in the air...
I'm shure people then would say that it looks silly to just have the backpack as a seperate piece... :lecture
 
Re: Boba Fett Life-Size Bust

Boba is still showing as shipping in the next 30 days per the latest newsletter. I'm ready for it to move to the "now shipping" column!
 
Re: Boba Fett Life-Size Bust

One more payment to go for me. Hopefully it will ship so it arrives the last week of December.
