Jango Fett Yes or Not

[Creighton]

what is the world coming to when we say that Hasbro has a better head sculpt than Medi?..just how out of scale is he to SS?

I own like 20 SS figures and not a single Medi.

I'm assuming this is the hasbro you are talking about

cuz mine doesn't say hasbro anywhere on it...

Yes this is the Hasbro figure I am referring to. Any one got one for sale...
He would look great with a new body..

I wouldnt get the electronic version. I totally agree that it would be a found kitbash until SS releases Jango.

Well, for one of the options he talked about picking up the deluxe version from Hasbro and using the extra set of hands for a custom Boba. That's where I think this "extra Fett" came from.

LOL.. sorry fellows for the confusion. Yes this is were the extra Boba came from. I have already started on a kitbash hasbro Boba using a narrow shoulder TT... Ill post pics when the head is attached.... Also I just picked up a GG Boba Fett Original Bust that I may use for this bash if the scale is right. Does anyone have one and can post comparison pics to a 1:6 scale figure would be great and very helpful. I know this isn't a Medi but it will do until SS releases him... hopefully with in next year...

I dunno, personally, I'd rather see Sideshow's versions. Maybe that's just me though.

Whoops
Yeah, a Sideshow Boba Fett would be verry cool indeed

Siedeshow...

And there, he'll ask if the thread's about Jango.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Wait.

Once SS does Boba it won't be long before they offer Jango. It'll be like the Sandtroopers.

And yes, I'd expect Boba to make his debut for SDCC next summer.

I think someone's selling a Medi Jango for $90 in the B/S/T. Same price I paid for mine and I love it. Such an awesome figure and the only way I can see SS's being better is by making him abit larger.

Looks like they already kicked Medi's ass on the sculpt:

sculpt-wise, everybody already knows Sideshow > Medi. I, for one, have never cared for facial sculpts as far as helmeted characters go anyway so it doesn't bother me

If you are looking to be screen accurate, though, Jango Fett is considerable shorter than Obi-Wan in the Kamino scene. So Medicom's works better in that aspect. I will absolutely own Sideshow's. But if it is too tall, I will keep Medicom's in the display.

 

[drod26]

Anyone have a reference pic that shows how much shorter is Jango next to Kenobi?

Yes, but what hurts it there is that Jango's got the body of a 13-year-old boy. As others have suggested, the Medi looks good on the slim TrueType (even though Morrison isn't a scrawny man), but the outfit doesn't port over easily, whithout some mods. The suit proper is a bit too short/small and getting the holsters around the legs without some form of extension is near impossible. As much as I loved my Jango, I said bye to him. He's just too small to work with SS's.

Jango (as a Medi) is considerably shorter-- but if posed correctly (and using perspective) that can be overlooked...

Get him. There's no guarantee that SSC will have one out anytime soon.

Medi Jango is an excellent figure. Like the multitude of customs shown on this forum (SST's Indy and Vader most recently) no figure is perfect. You can beef up the Medi Jango body a bit if you want to fill out the costume. I added just a small amount of padding on the legs...that's it. If you haven't gotten a Medicom figure before, this is a great one to start with.

will someone please post a standing shot of Jango next to say Obi wan...or Luke? I am really considering this figure...any help is appreciated.

Yes this will be very helpful. You guys are making it very difficult to pull the trigger on which figure to pick....

 

[Darth Cruel]

I will get a screen shot up, but my figures are in storage so someone else will have to do the figure comparison.

Here's a Hasbro with TT body next to a SS Stormie.

 

[drod26]

The medi Jango definitely looks much better with some padding.. I found a comparison of a medi and hasbro.. What you think?
