Re: Boba Fett (new version)

Yeah I'm hoping for the proto at SDCC and PO in quarter 4 this year.

Re: Boba Fett (new version)

I really hope the flexpay is around 60$ for Fett and vader, that way I can actually get some PFs this year without breaking the bank

Probably will be. Most of them are now at the 400-440 price tag

Yup. Exactly that lol

Re: Boba Fett (new version)

true, but SS has been kinda iffy on flexpay recently. There was fexpay options for the Vader Mythos P/O but not Obi, flexpay for Wolffe and Proto-Fett but not Vader. Additionally, the Flexpay on Lefe-sized jango bust is 90$/month but the Boba had a minimum of 180$/month, so it seems a little al over the place to me

Re: Boba Fett (new version)

There was a flex pay for the Vader 1/6th because I flex paid. If you don't PO day one or early enough you won't get flex pay options

fair enough, I guess I jumped in on that too late then. Thanks for the correction pity flexpay isn't still available or I'd have ordered one by now

Re: Boba Fett (new version)

My guess is we'll see them at SDCC with POs shortly after that. I really want to see Fett as his control art is misleading. The costume is from ROTJ but the background image appears to be Cloud City. SS always said their next Fett would be ESB, so I'm wondering if the are purposely misleading us or if they are doing another ROTJ version.

I have my money on ESB, it would have been nice to have a much clearer idea where SSC was going with their preview though.

Re: Boba Fett (new version)

A first ESB Boba would make much more sense than a second ROTJ Boba (edit: but a Boba Fett Expert told me, that the first Boba is more a hybrid of ESB/ROTJ and the shape of the helmet is also wrong), but maybe Disney/Lucas try to force SSC to ROTJ Items, like GG and Hasbro? (because there are closer to the Sequels)

I doubt Disney cares what version Fett comes in, their 1:1 scale is ESB.

Re: Boba Fett (new version)

Ok, maybe you are right, but the ESB Lifesize Boba was in a state of "nearly finished" in development and we just got a Concept Sketch for the new PF,
but we will see...i will take the Boba anyway...

Man, now i want the Lifesize Boba so badly, but he will cost 7999€ in Germany, this is 10.912 US $....

Re: Boba Fett (new version)

How many of you looking to get this already have the original PF? I have the original Fett and Vader and "double dipped" so to speak to pick up the Mythos statues, but they were really unique. I like the characters but not sure about having 3 of each on display when shelf space is getting limited. I probably won't be able to pass them up, but just curious what you guys are thinking... display your favorite or display them all together?

Re: Boba Fett (new version)

I am waiting for the reveal before I make up my mind. I have the original Boba Fett PF, and this one has to be really good, in many ways, in order to beat the old one. Materials won't matter so much to me, but the pose and overall expression of the piece will be key.

Re: Boba Fett (new version)

Vader is a no brainer .. all I ever wanted was a vader and the old one looks just bad IMO (pose ruins it totally)

Boba.. I LOVE the old one.. and the new one has to top this .. how.. I have no idea.. but if it does not look better, I won't buy it. I will have only one representation of each character .. don't have the $ and space to have 2 of the same char..

Re: Boba Fett (new version)

The first PF of Fett is fantastic. Yes, the helmet is off but the pose is great and he fits perfectly with Carbonite Han. A lot of people complain about the materials he's made from, but it's never been an issue for me.

While I'll debate about getting Vader, I will be getting Fett no matter what. Just really hoping it's the ESB version is all.

Re: Boba Fett (new version)

I still think that the paint job on the old Boba pf looks bad in terms of the weathering and helmet, and pose, so I'd sideshow can improve on those outs be a winner for sure, unless they screw up and do ESB Fett

 

[brucecamblzchin]

Re: Boba Fett (new version)

I don't have the original Boba PF so this one is an instant PO.

 

[Temek]

Re: Boba Fett (new version)

Wasn't around for either PF so I need em both. I know most like ESB version of Boba but I like ROTJ suit with ESB gun. I do like the ESB/ANH Vader more.

Really excited that I get a chance to pick up both . The only thing about Vader is the head tilting back. I'm sure it will look fine in person but it looks a little off.

 

[golobulus]

Re: Boba Fett (new version)

It will be hard to top the first Fett PF:

(edit: except the gunsite that keeps falling down Hopefully SS can improve that)

Vader is a no brainer .. all I ever wanted was a vader and the old one looks just bad IMO (pose ruins it totally)

I was a little tentative about the first Vader myself... but now that I have it in hand I'm really happy with it. I'll have to upload a picture because I think it looks great.

Re: Boba Fett (new version)

the weather looks all wrong on him though, so far the paint apps they have on the life-sized figure and 1/6th, while still not the best is miles more accurate then the old PF

That may be true but if accuracy is your thing then you should know it's never been sideshows strong point.
