That's too bad. I'm getting mine tomorrow. I hope it's OK. I don't think that Sideshow might have too many on hand for replacements?


Did we ever find out what the edition sizes were for both Jango and Boba?


I've kept an eye on the "Low Quantity Alert" for this figure and it was ever-increasing. With the holidays approaching, I'll bet a lot of people canceled their preorder, so Sideshow should still have a bunch of them on hand...
 
He's here, haven't got him out of package yet, but looks impressive so far, though without even getting him out I can say, the portrait is better than early pictures lead on, but still not as good as it could be and I still favor the Hasbro.

MaulFan, the Hasbro really looks better???
 
To me, I see more Morrison in the Hasbro head. Overall sculpting quality is superior on Medicom, but the likeness isn't there as much as in the Hasbro head to me.

Oh, you meant the head sculpt, I thought you meant the overall figure. Don't get me wrong, I have the Hasbro , and I plan on keeping it, it's probably the best thing to come out of that line. have you taken it out of the box yet?

No, I'm at work so I won't get him out until tonight. Definitely the figure as a whole is much better, but Hasbro's is a top notch effort in their catalog of 12" figures.
 
Ok first off, my thoughts. Number one issue with this figure, and Medicom as a whole, is the single axis wrist joint they use on the majority of their figures. Boba suffered from it but I find Jango does more so. Having the other axis that Sideshow and Hot Toys offer with figures would allow for even more poseability and would make some poses more realistic. It's a shame that one of the better base bodies has to suffer from poor wrist articulation, and it's even more frustrating when Medicom has developed a 2 axis wrist. Moving along, I find that of the 2, I'm more impressed with Boba's overall construction than Jango's. I'm guessing because Jango has a full face, that's part of what makes his helmet look like it's coming more forward off the shoulders, it's ok, but I prefer the way Boba's helmet sits more and I think if they'd done the helmet the same as Boba and had the Morrison portrait as a second head, would have given the best of both, plus then they could have sculpted blue undercloth to the Jango head like on Boba and you wouldn't see so much flesh in certain poses and from some angles. Another issue I have with Medicom as a whole is the use of plastic for belts and such, not so much for the look, though I'm not impressed with it, but more so the face that it's rigid and limiting. More poses would be possible with the thighs if the straps were leather or something that had a little give to it. To me the armor was more correctly placed on Boba than Jango for the torso plates. I find it a bit sad that they built Jango's collar plate so low down on the vest instead of truly hugging his collar and covering his shoulders more. My final issue with him, is something shared by others for sure, but with a different perspective on it, and that's his arm hoses falling out. I've heard people say that they're too short, but on the right arm, I find them to be just fine like on Boba, BUT on the left arm, the sleeve covering is actually a significant ammount shorter than on the right side which is both innaccurrate to the costume and hurts the hose functionality.

All that said, I'm still happy with him, and it's a nice addition to any Star Wars collection, but it's not without its flaws.

First image, a side by side of Hasbro and Medicom. I find from the eyes up, the Medicom sculpt is quite impressive but from the eyes down, really loses likeness. All in all, I see Temura/Jango more in the Hasbro sculpt.

Awesome pics. My Jango is on his way back to SSC for a replacement, so I most likey won't have him until after Christmas.:monkey2

Even with the minor flaws, Jango kicks all kinds of ass.
 
Nice shots Sean. I will say that the Hasbro one does have a better overall likeness.
 
I have both Hasbro and Medicom and both are awesome for different reasons.

For posing and specific costume details, the Medicom is better, but for "playing" and "features/accessories" the Hasbro one is better.

I think the face sculpts and paint are on par with each other. Can't say either one is significantly better than the other.

The biggest problem I had with the Hasbro is the bulk and clunkyness of the overall figure and the leg armor not sitting right.

The biggest problem I have with Jango is the lack of accessories.

Both great figures overall though. Can't wait to see what SSC does with him.
 
Hopefully equip him fully with everything seen on screen, my guess is his Exclusive would be the poncho from the deleted scene.

I'm gonna guess the exclusive to be special gauntlets with the blades on them.

Hey. Anyone think a young Boba/Jango 2 pack would be a good idea? I think Boba lacks any serious accessories or much of a costume either, so he should be able to be added to the Jango for an additional $30-$40.
