Honestly, from the thighs up—the Sideshow figure is pretty good. The jet pack needed a magnet to hold it in place though. Also, the helmet seems more like cosplayer helmets or like the one that’s often used in games. I’m sure it’s just a slightly tweaked Boba Fett helmet, in reality.
This figure improves on so much it’s damn difficult to resist the upgrade. There’s a lot to like about the Sideshow version, but here’s to hoping Hot Toys corrects the knee pad issue. Looks like they’re attached in a similar fashion.

Looks good, but not a big upgrade from SSC. I’ll wait till an unhelmeted sculpt is revealed and see if it’s worth it.

Seems like this one at least has the antenna length right.

Yes, not like their Boba...
The Sideshow one was a disaster of galactic sized proportions. The figure looked great, that was not the issue. Problem one: head sculpt not included in all. Problem 2, and this is the biggie: if you breathed too hard on the figure, half the armor pieces would fall off

The “One and Done” line of villains in our beloved SW pictures!!

But I did get the head and the armor on mine has never fallen off... does that mean I can skip this upgrade [emoji51]
...I really need to skip something [emoji28]

As I really cannot buy every figure coming out I usually go with my favorite designs and often skip the basic humans like farm boy Luke or Dooku. They never excite me like the aliens, great armors and robots. So I also have no intention of buying Dooku - the rest though...
Long timespan of PT is one of the causes. There is not a single villain that is present whole prequel timeline. My OT villain shelf will be Vader, Fett and a Stormie while ST shelf will be Kylo, Phasma and a Stormie ( A knight of Ren can change it though)

I need to skip this also, but I’m sure I’ll be suckered in with a great head sculpt. I have the ss and to me it’s fine. My armor has never fallen off, and he looks good on the shelf. But, if that helmetless sculpt is great...
More money
I wasn't much for Dooku either at first, but The Clone Wars made him a better character. Also, it's Christopher Lee, he has such a presence in his roles and his voice adds weight to all his lines.

Okay - this is me trying to talk myself out of this.
I love the SSC one - it's still one of my favorite figures. Did it have issues? Sure - the knee plates were a pain, swapping the head was really hard (to the point where it felt like something might break). But the good points out-shined the bad for me. I found a good pose and am really happy with him on display.
The HT one looks off in some of the proportions to me - the belt is almost screaming "floatation device" here - seems oversized. The plates seem a little thick (but they are placed on the leather jerkin better than the SSC version). The "flames" look cheesy/cheap - I would never use them. The helmet seems a bit little big.
Again, I'm a huge Jango fan and like Maul, I'll probably cave and order when/if it goes up. It will be interesting to see what accessories or stand treatments they go for here. But here's the bottom line - it may all be moot. This could end up being another good looking convention filler piece that never sees the light of a PO. Just something flashy that ends up not being anything more than a tease (Baze? Crossbones? Professor X? Yellowjacket?)
We'll see...
In the meantime, a quick look back at the SSC and Medicom takes on this infamous bounty hunter and clone template:

I say this definitely goes up for PO, look at all the variations of Boba they've already done. And the stand will probably be a dynamic stand because he uses his jet pack in the movie.

I don’t mind the rangefinder length on the upcoming PP1 variant Boba. Obviously inaccurate, but still.
I’d actually argue that this is as big an upgrade as updating the SSC Vader to the Hot Toys version. Granted, the SSC Jango does at least look clean and proportionate, for the most part.
Looks good, but not a big upgrade from SSC. I’ll wait till an unhelmeted sculpt is revealed and see if it’s worth it.
I had to put a dab of glue on the left knee pad, to keep it intact. Both shin guards just will not stay, if you attempt to repose. It’s a problem.
The belt is completely accurate. The helmet, from what little we can tell thus far, seems far more accurate. Not perfect, but close enough. I do think the Sideshow helmet is nice though. It’s tough to say which I actually prefer, honestly.
One of the things that worries me about this one is the back chest plate. It looks pretty bad. At least the upper chest doesn’t narrow out as it reaches the top most part of the armor. The Hot Toys seems to have done fairly well on the proportions.

Hard to tell how the neck looks on the Hot Toys. The collar is really my main nit with the SSC one. Combined with the armor riding up.
