New Jango and New Boba figs! Medicom

[jpf1138]

Mine arrives tomorrow , in case I encounter any of these problems what type of glue did you use?

I used a Testors model cement pen and very sparingly, then let dry while suspended for several hours. Careful, that stuff will take the paint off. As for the armor on the vest, I'm not sure what to do. Maybe some type of fabric safe glue...Anyone?

My fig should arrive the week of the 21st

I received Boba today and just removed him from his box a few minutes ago. Wow! Impressive figure all around. Happy I decided to buy him.

Looking at my ESB version, I noticed the separate clear pole that attaches to the display stand base is actually taller on the ROTJ version. I thought they would be the same height. Instead of cutting the pole down as someone had suggested, I just used a shorter pole from one of my Medicom Stormtrooper's display stand I never used, which is the same height as the ESB pole.

you can use gel superglue. Its better than regular superglue especially if you are working on plastic and fabric. I used it to reattach the shoulder armor on my ESB boba and it worked well.

Though the chest armor on my ESB boba wasn't attached with glue, it was some sort of pin type clip thingy. Perhaps all you need to do is strip the vest and reattach the armor that way.

I used Zap A Gap glue for repositioning my shoulder armor and it works great as well.

The chest armor is still attached with the pins on the armor through holes on the vest. I am sure the pins could be cut and the armor glued on with the same stuff if someone wanted to but I see no need for it.

It's just that the armor on mine sticks out and doesn't conform with the figure's body. Only the bottom segment of the armor though. I'm trying not to let it be a big deal, but at this price point it shouldn't be an issue in the first place. Other than that small problem I am in love with the thing

Here are some of my shots.

There was some discussion about the color of the fabric hanging off his shoulder and mine is most definitely green. It could be called an olive but it is not brown. I wonder if there are two colors floating around.

Excellent pics!

I think the color of the cape depends a lot on the lighting. The cape on mine looks green under bright lighting and brownish in dim lighting.

Yeah I took mine into my bathroom where I have incandescent light (all other lights in my apartment are color corrected compact florescent lights) and it does shift a bit to the brown. Sorry I stand corrected. But daylight shows green.

I have a feeling this figure was overlooked and is going to climb up the price scale as more people get wind of it.

Awesome pics you guys!

 

[VoidDweller]

Nice pics!

Yeah, the cape on mine is green. The color shift under certain lighting conditions could be said with the red on the helmet as well. I noticed the red on the helmet looks more orange than red under different lighting.

I completely agree. It not only lives up to the hype, it exceeds it.

I truly wish my finances would allow me to get this awesome figure.

So does the visor actually look red in person? My brother is a HUGE fan of Fett, but was refusing to get this one because of the orange visor. I convinced him he will definitely still be worth it, and harder to get later if he changes his mind. I hope I'm right and didn't have him waste his money.

I got my shipping notice. Will have to check the tracking number later, though. Could have him by Friday!
