Thanks to Natrix i decided to do the mods (lowered the jet pack, visor, shoulder bells) to both my medicom Fetts. The Empire Fett had a busted leg, Therefore i ported it onto the new massive RAH body.

Well, now that I've decided not to pick up the SSC Fett, I'm gonna do what you guys have been doing & just upgrade my ESB Medicom Fett. But didn't I read somewhere that the wrist pegs on the new Massive body are different than those used on older RAH bodies like the one this figure originally came with?
 
Yeah white is better. Still think Medicom is tops here.


You ever thought about filling his pockets up?

I don't think that the SideShow Boba Fett has a chance to actually beat the Medicom. I think that basically, I'll take the hand sculpts from the SideShow version to enhance my Medicoms lol! That said, I am super excited for the SideShow version! I think that everybody thinks that I'm a Medicom goon/SideShow hater, but nothing could be farther from the truth. I am hopeful that the SS version will be awesome! And judging from the pics, I think that the SS Fett will be a very welcome addition to my Fetts. Truthfully, I'm looking forward to tweaking the SS Fett, hoping to make it as screen-accurate as possible. There are alot of details on the SS Fett that are missing from the Medicom ESB.

As for the pockets, it always seemed like in the movies, the ROTJ Fett had empty pockets, whereas the ESB version had the pockets very full. I filled the ESB Fett's pockets, but have left the ROTJ Fett's pockets empty, on purpose.
 
I am the same way. Gonna get the SS version depending chest though. I want it to be good.

Even if the chest and scalps totally suck, there's enough great details/features (the rifle and ALL THOSE HANDS!) that are excellent and will EASILY justify the purchase, in my opinion. It's Boba Fett, for Pete's sakes!
 
That chest piece has gotta go on tighter or something i wanna believe. I agree, accessories are great.

It appears I might have to make some tweaks, but if you read my earlier post about my car, then I won't mind much.
 
I am the opposite on that accord. If it's a simple fix no biggie, but i'm not bringing out the tools.:)
 
I think the skinny body works well for Boba. I admit the Medicom ROTJ Boba looks great. I'll stick with Sideshow, though. But I may consider swapping out the body for maybe the armor body which is nice and slender. Depends on how it comes out.
 
Yep, I drilled out the peg holes on the Massive forearms to size to fit the hand pegs in.

Thanks for the tip. And it's great to see this figure still be discussed so long after its initial release. I say keep those pics, tricks & tweaks coming!
 
Pics of this medi and SS Boba confirms to me that SS has no chance at beating Medis right now. To me, SS has had plenty of time and reference as well as many Boba releases (medi and marmit) to make their version definitive. Only thing better on SS Boba is the accessories and stand. Other than that, Medi Boba beats SS. I'm not hating on SS as I have way more SS than Medi but this is my opinion. Awesome pics man.
