I think the set looks incredible. Objectively, the sculpts and weathering look fantastic and I can’t wait to have these. If a figure is done well, it deserves the nod and a place on my shelf, regardless of the size of the role or my “like” of the character (looking at you Baron Samedi).
I have mixed feelings so far. On one hand, I’m enjoying the show, the Easter eggs, and having something relatively close to the OT to ground me back into an era of SW I care about. On the other hand, I DO see the tropes being played out a little too hard. Physique jabs aside, I think this is a case of Tem playing Tem as Boba versus the established character (reminds me of D&D where you start playing as yourself versus being beholden your character and what THEY would do).
Yes, I realize the EU isn’t canon and his screen time was 4 minutes, but that’s kind of a cheap remark for a character that all SW fans know quite a bit about. I don’t, for example, see it fitting that an absolutely ruthless SOB working for the most evil dudes in the galaxy (canon) would find himself doing a communal Māori-style dance like a week after being kidnap-rescued by Tuskens.
