Premium Format Boba Fett Premium Format Figure - New Version

I would favor both.

Oh I'd buy both, it would be my first Hot Toys!

I have a couple of HT 1/6, but never got one of the 1/4 scale pieces. Fett would be a great first one to get.

The main reason I favor the SS version is that I very much prefer a static PF statue to a figure with a stand. Thanks for posting the comparison pics though and pointing out some of the differences.

Snap, assuming this will indeed be a nice solid statue, it is an easy choice. Plastic and joints really doesn't cut it for me, but everybody has different views and opinions so it really doesn't matter at the end of the day. People will buy whichever one they want. Now if hot toys were priced more like the toys they are, I'd probably change my opinion but...

Well I think they are priced like the toys with higher than SSC statue quality paint, clothing, accessories, and poseability that they are

Also, polystone is also plastic. But everyone has different opinions and people will buy whichever they want IMO.

I prefer statues, which is why I own zero Hot Toys, but there is no denying how amazing they are with QC.

I think both will turn out great, but I'm sticking with the SS PF. They nailed everything about it.

Thanks for the Link guys

Well, I'm primarily a 1/6 collector (though I also dabble in statues), and QC is an area where neither HT nor SSC are really the best in my opinion. My most recent HT figure--Spider-Man--had two right hands, and dark black splotches on his face. The splotches, by the way, are something SSC won't replace a figure for, but that's another issue for another thread.

polystone is also plastic.

We hear this all the time, but it isn't that simple, genetically, we Humans are pretty damn close to chimps, and about 50% the same as a BANANA. Small changes can yield huge differences, so it's easy to say Polysone is a form of plastic, but in reality polystone and pvc are a million miles apart.

Let's hope the factory doesn't mess it up.

Example: SSC's 1:1 Fett...


woof

 

[marker2037]

I have faith. I've gotten some pretty stellar PFs this year. Allied Cap, Hellboy, Dark Rider of Mordor, Superman, Batman, Punisher.

 

[comicbookguy]

I feel the need to point out that the HT Boba Fett isn't a PF... but I also feel that you know that. What a pickle.

It's the same size as a PF?

 

[Reno McCoy]

My only concern/question about this PF is the wood looking things at the base of the decline. I'm not sure what they are. In some images, I pay them no mind. In others, I just ask myself what the heck I'm looking at.

 

[budafett]

They're both 1:4

 

[Trengence]

I would favor both.

Exactly this! heck the Boba mythos was ROJ Fett and Sideshow did an amazing job on that, although accuracy wasn't really a priority on that one. Either way Fett is still Fett, and he'll always have a place in my collection, whether it's Hot Toys or ideshow

I would have killed for the SS or the HT version when I was a kid. I had the 1995 Kenner Boba Fett and remember being jealous of a friend that had a Boba Fett that was 12" and had soft goods for clothes and wookie braids. In retrospect, it was a terrible looking figure. No contest compared to the offerings we have today.

You and me both! I remember when the VOTC 12" Fett came out I was pumped!

 

[cokebabies]

I paid what I now realize was a way over-market-value price for the original figure off of alt.binaries.starwars in like 1996. So yeah, 15 year old me would have been floored with this.
