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

[Hoody999]

is it even possible to get these ******* knee missiles on, instructions are no help.

I had the same issue. Dunk the attachment end in a bowl of hot water for 30 seconds or so and they go on waaaay easier.

Otherwise at risk of breaking something.

always interesting to me. idk why i feel with how main stream funko pops are, i feel they'd probably be more likely to get stolen than a hot toys box by porch pirates

 

[Stryker2011]

My two-pack will supposedly be delivered today from Timewalker. I have 4 other figures (CW Ahsoka, Transport Trooper, Anakin & STAP, and WD Carol) on “imminent arrival”; I swear it feels like Ahsoka and this Boba Fett have been on imminent arrival for over a month — man, I hate Sideshow!

 

[RTFLYER]

This set really is great. Best figures so far this year for me are this set and Snowspeeder Luke. I haven't received my Anakin on Stap, Jango Fett, or Ahsoka yet, so we'll see how it shakes out.

I’ve received Hot Toys from Popcultcha in Funko boxes.

Which at first slightly feels like an unintentionally cruel prank, but I know they sell a ton of Funko future landfill products so they must have a mountain of those boxes.

I've got Fennec on PO. As well as the repainted Fett with throne and this 2pack too.
Not as enthused about those figures as I was pre BoBF.
My heart says cancel them all, to hell with Boba. But my head says no, keep them.
So I'll keep them. They'll sit on the shelf and I'll stare at them. Glaring in bitterness. And when I've been drinking, I'll go into the display room and shout at them.

Don't keep preorders that will bring you angst. These things are too expensive.... cancel them and spend that considerable $$$ on something that will bring you joy.

Current HT Preorders: [sigh...] Jango Fett, Bo-Kata

Normally I would agree.
But I wasn't a diehard fan of Boba - and IMO the set is just one of those a collector might want to consider having, because, it's that good.
(Anyway after watching Obi-Wan it's like, we didn't know how good we had it. BOBF is a *masterful* treatment of the emotional and spiritual arc of a sensitive, intelligent man, brutally twisted by circumstances, a survivor who comes to both respect himself and others; reforging the world that had so brutalized him into a more juST and hoPefUll universe....highlighted by a talented and diVErsE cast, well-realized characters, sweeping vistas, a lively script, deft use of humor, moving relationships, innovative action sequences, overlaid with an amazing original soundtrack. ) If only Boba would make an appearance in Obiwan!!!!

I really, really, hope the ecologically destructive Funkos are recyclable. Either that, or the future alien invaders from another world will get defeated, because they are so terrorized by the millions of magical totems staring at them with those round little black eyes.

Anyway kudos to SSC who had great service and is sending me a replacement left gauntlet (one where the removable silver tab works properly and doesn't need to be drilled out). Took me forever to pay this set off, but definitely worth the wait.

Funko Pops are ugly abominations. I detest them.

Agreed that this Tython two-pack is a set we wont see the likes of again for a very long time, and its beauty - and relatively decent price-point- are strong reasons to keep.

If he's going to cuss when he sees these figures on a shelf, tho..... idk. Maybe just keep the set in its box and put it on the top shelf for a while, altho it seems like a waste of money to do that.

 

[Bgnyc007]

Man this is a great set haven’t felt this way about a 2 pack since Han and Chewie. This one will definitely be a classic for sure.

My comment about shouting on them on the shelf was tongue in cheek, but as glorious as Fett's return was in Mando season 2, whenever I see Fett now, I just see him struggling to open a locked door, declaring "I am.... BOBA FETT" to a frightened small droid, going into the Sarlacc for a 2nd time because he forgot he escaped with his armour on, his hilarious attempt to fly Slave 1 out of Jabba's hangar, killing the wrong guys because he's too dumb to realise it was the Pykes, fighting a Wookiee in his underpants, beating Cad because of literal plot armour aka his daddy's Beskar armour, not through skill or ability and so many other horrible moments from his show.
Struggling to separate Mando season 2 Boba from BoBF Boba.
But it is such an amazing looking set.

Received my set on Friday (nice birthday surprise along with the Premiere Toys Warlord/Immortan Joe).

Not denying that all of that is true. But i think my superpower is my ability to throw out of my head everything i dont agree with about BoBF - which was most of it - or at least compartmentalize it. That wasn't the Fett I know, flying the ship he'd flown since before age ten. I dont care that he slaughtered the biker gang, when they were actually innocent of that particular crime. They no doubt had it coming for other stuff. And Fett not even caring that he'd killed the wrong people is actually one of the most true-to-character things about that whole mess of a show.

Bane was right. Fett IS a stone-cold killer, no less than Bane himself was. And that picture is, to me at least, far outweighing his being forced by the scriptwriters to yell at a hapless kitchen droid. Why would he bother? This guy who just gunned down twenty bikers in cold blood, or was about to - think that happened shortly afterward. He aint studyin' no kitchen droids.

[Jammyjr]

Just arrived and setup some quick poses. I’m impressed with them both so far.

Buy the definitely amazing set, open it, and put it away for like a year or two.

You'll either come back and be fine with it or you'll sell it to someone desperate to have it.

And quite a superpower that is, Ramatuelle. Not necessarily show related but I have a difficult time doing the same in general.

 

[jedibear]

Yeeeeee Haw! Finally shipping from BBTS. Should have it next week. Loving all the great shots in here.

That's good advice, thank you
