I should be getting my Mafex Fett tomorrow. Any reviews or other pictures anywhere?
The Fwoosh thread has some goodies on it!

"THE FIGURE IS GREAT!!!
MAFEX really protected the HELL out of this thing. Not only was it in the standard clamshell tray, but they have a molded plastic sheath wrapped around the helmet to protect the head & range-finder thingy. That thing was actually a ***** to remove.
But I'm happy to report that the figure is AWESOME! BEAUTIFUL paint. No floppiness. In fact, this figure has the best joints out of any MAFEX I've purchased so far. I wish my MAFEX Vader had this kind of sturdiness to it.
The joints are nice and stiff, but not sticky like the MAFEX BvS Batman's were. When I move the figure, I don't feel like I'm about to break something. But he holds poses LIKE A CHAMP!
The plastic on this thing feels nice and sturdy. And the articulation scheme is pretty solid. Great range of motion in the shoulders, double jointed elbows and knees, ankle pivots, the whole nine yards.
The knees and the torso/abdomen area are particularly interesting. The knees had me confused for a minute or two. When you bend the knee, it almost looks like the yellow knee cap slides independent of the knee parts, like it's a sheath over the actual knee. Or maybe they've invented some type of new sculpting witchcraft or something. I'll have to study the knee a little further. It works great and looks great, I'm just not sure what the mechanics are yet.
The Abdomen/Torso works great despite the bulky chest armor. There's an ab piece that pivots at the waist and where it attaches to the inside of the torso armor, so while there's no Spider-Man type crunch action, you get two points or articulation: The waist rotates and tilts on a ball joint, and the torso rotates and tilts on an inner ball joint.
Oh; and the holster on his thigh has a strap that you can unsnap to accommodate the pistol.
I'm starting to ramble. Long story short: GREAT FIGURE.
GREAT Job, MAFEX.
As weird as it sounds, the MAFEX Boba Fett makes the Figuarts Jango Fett look like a MAFEX Dark Knight Batman.
I guess I won't be canceling those other preorders just yet.
