1/6 Hot Toys 1/6 Boba Fett ESB Version

Anyone else not seeing their rewards point on this? That little drop down window is missing. Maybe I'm blind.

I have a Medicom boba packed away somewhere. I always thought that the size of the helmet would be smaller compared to the SS and HT versions, but it actually looks much the same. To me the Medicom helmet is by far the most accurate in shape. Has anyone out there got the HT version and swapped the helmet out for the Medicom? If so I would be very appreciative if they could post a pic of the result.

I always thought the medicom’s proportions were spot on. I’d like to see the helmet on the HT body as well.

The Medicom helmet needs to be modified to fit properly on HT neck pegs, and I'm not ready to commit to doing that yet. But, here's the stock Medicom helmet on the HT figure (minus the padding under the jumpsuit - I hate what the padding does to the proportions). The helmet is only being held in place with museum putty on the neck, as I had to remove the neck peg to make this work. Not exactly what was asked for, but this should give a fair sense for how it would look if done properly. The inside of the helmet would obviously have to be modified in a way that would set the helmet lower down on the neck. This helmet probably looks better on the actual Medicom figure because that body is significantly smaller than the HT one, thus making the helmet look wider. But, yeah, the Medicom helmet is close to the same size as all the other 1/6 helmets.

It was there for me. They’ve changed it to just a drop down arrow. Nothing shows up until you click it.

Hmm. Not digging the photos too much. I've really been wanting an ESB Fett, and was thinking I'd sell my ROTJ when this was announced - but something about it looks weird to me. I'll probably change my mind when we see Secret Base vids and stuff like that, but for now I'm not sold on this. Doesn't seem like that big of a step up from the SS ESB, which will probably be a lot cheaper when this comes out

Without the helmet on the proportions don’t look that bad. It’s all the bad helmet that throws this off. Too bad.

I think with advertising standards they would have to show/disclose that, do we have a product description yet?

From the Sideshow listing:

"Newly crafted Boba Fett Mandalorian helmet with articulated rangefinder"

And then for the Alt armor:

"Newly developed interchangeable Boba Fett’s Mandalorian helmet with unique markings and articulated rangefinder"

Definitely better than the SS but I still am not blown away. Hope they tweak that helmet. But need this for Joost's carbon freeze dio . For a measly 30 bucks I'll probably get the extra stuff too. No rush to order at all, 2019 release is ridiculous. Probably will wait until Christmas time.

I really hope Hot Toys redoes the helmet. I gave the ROTJ version a pass for being a first attempt for HT, but I had really hoped they would've paid extra attention to getting the ESB helmet/visor shape correct. I want to be so hyped for this figure, but I just can't be with the helmet looking so off. The T visor is too long, too wide, and the eye-line is too high up on the helmet. I always think of the ESB helmet as being flared, and this helmet has next to none. Really hoping they do a BvS Batman with this and really turn it around on release.

Should the chest piece, cod piece and helmet on the ROTJ suit be darker than on the ESB suit?

That's what I was think too. It doesn't look dark enough for ESB.

 

[Darth Fok]

It looks way better than the SS version. I have the ROTJ one and pretty happy with that.

 

[generalgrevious]

I have the medicom helmet on an extra dx07 body. I always loved the medicom helmet as I thought it was the best out there at the time blows the sideshow version helmet away. I still need to get that red sash to put around his waist still. and maybe get the HT ROTJ boba cod piece I think I will be done with my custom. wonder if the suit from the ROTJ version is better then the SS version I have him wearing now

Yeah, if I get this it will just be to have a Fett, but I'm not really feeling it either. Just looks identical to the ROTJ in terms of the problems that one had (funky proportions, helmet off). And the color scheme doesn't seem all that spot on on this one either compared to the actual ESB outfit.

Looks like they've adjusted the colour. This was posted on Instagram

So there is our answer. The helmet is definitely the same sculpt. Just repainted. That’s a real shame.

Thanks Aj for the picture I've just done a quick bit of PS on it so that the head sits further down on the neck. I think it looks pretty good. I may have to dig my Medicom out and Mod my ROTJ HT Boba. Thanks again.

No they are different. It's subtle but they are different. I don't mean just the colour [emoji6]

Hi Barca,

Yes your right. I was looking at them side by side on my small phone screen this morning. Now that I've looked at them on my monitor they are indeed different.

 

[URDNOTSullivan]

Yeah the helmets are definitely different. The esb is not as long and the top of the visor is wider around the eyes. The dome is a little more rounded and the base of the helmet has a bit more flare.

 

[Brett Banner]

So we’re saying they changed it and still got it wrong? That’s almost even more annoying.
