Hot Toys - TMS033 & TMS034 - The Mandalorian: Boba Fett (Regular and Deluxe versions)

[Ramatuelle]

Wait until kenobi. I’m worried. Very worried.

Its certainly true that BoBF stoked fears that are not making the run-up to "Kenobi" any more pleasant.

The Kenobi "leaks" I've seen don't sound nearly as bad as what was done to BoBF, but Disney is known for their propensity to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, so there's that.

You know what seriously worries me? And this is stupid.... but the way the Inquisitors look makes me worry. I just look at them and I get Rita Repulsa vibes from them, dont ask me why! I need a serious threat as a villain, and I admit that BoBF AND!!! and Mando let me down in that regard. Moff Gideon did not scare me or induce respect in me, and so it goes.

Richard Brake as an Inquisitor. I have SPOKEN dammit.

(His one kneepad also only sprouts the extra rocket tube for the one shot when he fires them -- likely just CGed in for that moment.)

I'm looking at all the photos of this figure in the Hot Toys image set, and I'm wondering, did Fett even wear the 2nd knee pad? I noticed the figure included a 2nd one, but was wondering why it was packed with the figure not wearing it. Watching the scene in Mandalorian and looking at all the photos of the prototype, you can't really tell if he is wearing the 2nd knee pad or not.

The second one isn't visible until the next episode:

In Boba's triumphant return in S02E06, he only wears the armour on the right leg.

I went through frame by frame, because his robes cover the left knee most of the time. There are two brief shots where you can see that the left is missing:

By the next episode he's had time to put the other one on:

My last flex payment is May. So hopefully this ships out on time. Anyone else doing flex pay for this set?

 

[chrisstbh]

So, classic Sideshow. They’ve charged me for shipping, changed my order status to “Preparing to ship” then sent me an email saying if will be delayed with no ETA.

Good one.

...then, ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE!!

Seriously though, sorry to hear that, it's sounds kinda strange. Classic SS.

P.S. If the above did happen, I wouldn't put it past them to still come back and claim it was actually in stock.

Like if you're gonna charge me for shipping at least make sure you have the item ready for shipping

Got my mail also this morning to say it’s delayed. It’s said expected delivery Feb to March 2022 for months. Apparently its going to be updated on my order page.

People are STILL waiting for this? TBA has it ready for a great price

I've never purchased Hot Toys from TBA, any issues with them to be aware of...? Thinking about placing an order.

Never any issues

I mean, I got it for $27, so yeah I'll wait

They're great.

 

[Hoody999]

Never any issues

Agreed. I've also never had any issues with TBA over years. Packed unbelievably well, always reliable.

I suspect I have a long wait to go to get this from the UK retailer I ordered from.
But then, this is one of those figures I'm getting because its such a good, well done figure, rather than because it's a figure of a character I have an interest in.
I don't mind waiting for it.

 

[choombaz]

Still waiting as well from Popcultcha. If the TBA price is better and it probably is, might just cancel and get it from them.

Just checked TBA, its 3,753.00HKD with Expedited shipping 6-21 days. came to 478.13USD. ended up pulling the trigger. i'll be fine with losing $15 NRD through OTR, still came to 492 so im not breaking a sweat so its a little cheaper. thanks for the heads up guys. im kinda annoyed it is taking this long

I'm still waiting from Timewalker and I'm not too bothered. I'm only keeping because of it's connection to The Mandalorian and the fact that it will be the only 1/6 figure ever linked to Fett's sarlaac escape. I had two on order but I cancelled one of them.

Crazy how long it's taking to ship these though. HT seems to be struggling big time with production.

Thanks for that, now I know I don’t need to cancel. I paid 50 bucks less than that.

yeah it would've came to 495 shipped if i stuck with my deposit. its only like a few dollar difference so it wasnt too much of a biggie if i cancelled my pre order to get something that i know is actually going to come to my door step in however amount of days

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Hard to believe there are so many waiting on this. Seems like mine arrived from Toys Wonderland ages ago.
