I passed on that Sideshow Boba mess of a figure. I'll get their ROTJ version if they get it right.

I'll do the same if they fix it. ROTJ is my favorite Fett and the only one I want, so the SS one was an easy pass. I have the Medi and am happy to keep it either way. :lecture
 
i just got this little beauty in the post, $154 from the good folks at HLJ, and i gotta say, i think its the best 1/6 Fett out there, hands down.

there's a few issues, the jet pack is riding way too high on his back, and the body is a bit small and skinny and some of the chest plates seem like they might come away easily from the vest, but it really puts the SS to shame in terms of paint colours, armour and helmet shape:

i've not done much to the SS, mainly corrected the shape of the ab plate, but side by side i can't believe how bad the SS looks compared to the Medi, it really looks... wrong, which is a shame as there's so much right with it, like the jumpsuit, the weathering the fabric girth belt.. then there's the Marmit..

compared to these guys i think he looks like he really needs a re-paint! i think the Marmit has the best overall shape for Fett, but the Helmet looks wrong, especially for an ESB, lacking the flare, and its got the incorrect ankle spats, and a shame about the molded flack vest and pouches...

I just wish someone would one day get Fett 100% spot on. Unfortunately i don't think sideshow are the ones that will.
 
Hello,
I need an opinion.
Today, The Medi Boba is the more screen accurate figure to have ?
I see that is a lot of issues with the SS one.
If I am willing to get one, more acurrate, what should be ?
 
I read that and then back a couple of pages.
Looks like Medi ROTJ Boba is the way to go.
Hope to find one for a good price.:pray:
 
Yeah, the ROTJ Medi just looks.. right. :)

Just as a funny little aside, one of my local Aussie e-Tailers has just had a recent clearance sale - with most of the SSC SW 1/6 gone.

Only the Bith band sets & Fett left - at low prices too. :lol
 
The Medicom ROTJ Boba Fett is definitely the Best Boba out so far. Beats the Sideshow and glad I didn't buy they're version. It definitely puts it to shame sadly. I am waiting for SS to come out with a ROTJ Boba. I hope they don't screw that up. But I will definitely pick up this Boba and the Jango looks awesome also.
 
Man I would buy him straight from SS if they only had him in stock and not have to wait for 4-6 weeks. That long I lose interest :pfft:
 
I ordered a ROTJ Boba Fett from sideshow and, I placed my order on Feb 2nd. Customer service sucks, they couldn't tell me anything and it's been 5 weeks now. I've got a feeling that it won't be shipping anytime soon :(
