Posted this over at RS but thought I would ask you guys the same (man it's been a while since I've been on here)... I started the Sideshow 1/6 line with Jedi Luke and picked up most offerings until the "Vader helmet" fiasco when I dropped this line, sold my collection, and went back to focusing on Hasbro SW. Now a few years later on the cusp of (hopefully) a new and improved Vader, and with some of the other fantastic recent releases I find myself drawn completely back 180.
So my question for you scum is this... after returning my TVC BMF today because of qc issues, I find myself in a good position to pick a stater figure, and I've been thinking the SS Boba Fett would be a great way to jump back in.
Or is there another you guys recommend over Boba that's still reasonably priced?
Thanks in advance guys.
Though you said one figure to start, we all know it's just a gateway figure and you'll likely soon become addicted.
Bossk is a fantastic figure as well. Sideshow's Boba Fett isn't without its flaws, but a couple of modifications will improve him quite a bit. I'd also recommend IG-88 if you can find him for a decent price. The three of them look great together.
The Snowtrooper is also a great figure, and the E-Web a great accessory. You could get a couple of Snowies and the blaster if you're a big fan of ESB. There's a lot of Hoth related figures coming out in the near future as well, like Luke, Han, a Taun Taun, and probe droid.
The Hot Toys Luke figure would be a fantastic pick as everyone has recommended. It seems to be getting scarcer from the retailers so now would be a good time to pick him up. Few of Sideshow's current and past lineup come close to Hot Toys's first Star Wars effort.
PS Sorry to hear about your BMF. I still have mine, leaning against my piano. I don't really know what to do with it.
