Medicom RAH Jango Fett!!!!!

[MaulFan]

Depends on the price. If Boba didn't add much more to the cost, I'd probably get that, but AOTC Boba Fett is lackluster enough I can say I'd pass on him, Logan's face is no big thing, his costume was pretty basic and not too interesting. If they ever wanted to do young Boba, their best bet for selling him would be to stick him with Jango.

how about a 1/6 slave 1 and make boba the accesory?

Haha, that'd be pretty big.

I do hope Medi or Sideshow deliver an AOTC Obi-Wan though, it'd be a cool display to have them combatting.

Exactly. A few completists like me may go for him, but I think he'd sell as a set pretty easily.

Some might be upset at the additional cost for a figure they might not have needed, but if SSC can still keep the 2 pack well under the cost of the Medicom, then they'd have that going for them.

Another accessory idea could be the cable he wraps Obi-Wan with.

Way I see it, Jango's accessory list from Sideshow should be:

Kamino Jetpack
Geonosis Jetpack
Kamino Helmet
Geonosis Battle Damaged Helmet
Kamino Saberdart
Gripping Blade Right Gauntlet
Grappling Hook Right Gauntlet
Standard Right Gauntlet
Standard Left Gauntlet
Fist Right Hand
Fist Left Hand
Open (Force Grip) Right Hand
Open (Force Grip) Left Hand
Gun Wielding Right Hand
Gun Wielding Left Hand
SIDESHOW EXCLUSIVE Geonosian Poncho

Now, with that list, I see Jango being like an Ultimate figure, much like Hasbro did, there's just so much that can come with him.

You do not want to know how hard it was for me to pull this bad mutha out of the box and pose him with one hand,yes ladies and gent's "one hand".Then to top it off take these one handed shots and post them.

I really like this figure,he looks way better then my Boba.This is the best Medi figure by far in my book.Sorry for the half assed pics but it's all I'm up for right now.

got jango today, My second Medicom Figure ever. i really like him, BUT...
His belt broke allmost immeadiately, I moved his leg, the strap from his cospiece to his holseter came unglued. not a big problkem, Reguing it over night. Here's hoping it works

WEll, I fixed it, the glue held just fine on the second try. Now I just need some good velcro and I'll attach the Kamino jetpack

 

[DarthNeil]

Mine arrived on Friday. A nice figure-- he goes along with my Medi Vader (ROTJ), Stormtrooper, and Boba... Worth the price I paid?....hmmm, not really. That's why I'll never be a Medi completist (lack of accessories)-- and if SIDESHOW prices creep into Medi-world then I might rethink my completist addiction as well.

Now, with that list, I see Jango being like an Ultimate figure, much like Hasbro did, there's just so much that can come with him.

High hopes and if its like that it will be incredable, but i really like to see 2 versions of Jango a couple of years apart, like a imagine a Endor Luke in time. Everything he wore on Kamino and a Arena fight version.

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, I would imagine we'll get two versions of Jango cause thats a lot of stuff.

 

[MaulFan]

A year ago, I'd agree on 2 versions, but after the Palp/Sidious 2-Pack, I don't count anything out of possibility with Sideshow, I think they'll try to do what's right for characters. Granted there are differences enough to warrant 2 figures, especially needing 2 helmets, but if they thought it'd do well enough, I could see and Ultimate figure being done. Ideally, I'd love a Vader for all Vader's in one box; every piece of amor for every different look all in one box.

I could see them doing a two pack with Jango. That would be cool. It makes sense to do some type of ultimate thing with Jango but they should really stay away from that with Vader. I'd much rather seem them make all the Vader's than make one like you suggested. That would just not settle well with me personally and would feel very Hasbroish.

I already had a guest review cover the new Medicom RAH Jango Fett, but I wanted to throw my thoughts out there too. Besides, I had a ton of fun posing and shooting him. This is a great figure, with an outstanding costume and amazing articulation. And while I've often bashed Medicom for their human likenesses, I have to admit that they did a very good job this time around.

For those celebrating, a very Merry Christmas! Since Tuesday is Christmas, I won't be putting up a review that night. But I will have an update showing you the 'Christmas' photo cards I've sent out the last few years. Happy Holidays!

Nice reviw Michael. I'd have probably scored the sculpt about 2 1/2 for falling short on the likness, but I agree the overall quality shows improvement for Medicom, but they're definitely still trailing in that aspect to the other figure makers. My only other huge issue with the figure is the full head under the helmet, I don't think the fit is as good. The helmet is in the right scale to the body, but I don't find it to sit on the head as properly and I think 2 heads, one like Boba with the helmet and a Morrison portrait would have been the better way to go.

As for the comment on the jetpack, I was under the impression Jango's pack was identical to the old Boba Fett packs, I could be wrong though.

[Michael Crawford]

I don't think so - I could have swore his original pack was different from his sons. Seems kind of odd that the armor would update quite a bit but the pack would be identical?

And I much prefer this neck articulation - which we wouldn't have gotten with a swappable head - so I'm much happier they went this route.
