Sideshow 1/6 Jango Fett

So far the Medi looks way better than this one.

Sorry.

Sorry.

(Well, okay - maybe Temeura Morrison is not that tall, meaning Medi scale is about right... )

"So far the Medi looks way better than this one."

you are being sarcastic, right?

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Nope.

You post another pic of that wonky prototype, to prove what exactly, btw?

As per SSC's hit & miss consistency across the board with their SW figures to date, the helmet's STILL off, Boba's 'cheek' sensor is still present on it, & the arms belong to Tattoo from Fantasy Island - tiny. That prototype has it's legs bent, so the arms & gauntlets look more in proportion there.

Comparing each figure as stand alone pieces, the Medi is better in almost every way. The only thing that's disappointing about it (Medi), is that it's a bit on the thin side.

The Medi is height accurate with the SSC clones and Boba, VintijDroidGutzz ain't wrong, and if you follow that padding guide in the Jango thread, there's really no comparison from anything SSC has shown us.

Of course that being said, my SSC Jango is going to go right up there with Ultimate Hasbro and medis, but it sucks that I'm paying more for it than my other three combined.

Jango is almost a year away... i am sure SS will address the issues. the body however is a no brainer... it will have to be traded out for a Truetype. at least the neck armor is correctly placed... and i bet that holster is on every Medicom owner's "swap out list"...

And the fact that the headsculpt is nothing like Tem.

Not to be argumentative, but based on what? Boba got the middle finger in the end, & so will this.

I agree about the pilfering though - it's got some good bits on it.

Well.. there is a resemblance, but yeah - it's on the weak side.

Thing is, if I end up getting the Medi, I'd never use the head anyway.

the only thing I would really grab from Medi is the helmet (even if it doesn't seem perfect either, looking at the curve under the cheeks).

Hasbro Jango seemed to come out on top in that department.

Vader V2 (dome... check! Height... check! Cape... check!)

But seriously, it seems sort of rare that things change much between proto and final. Once we see these things, I have a feeling it's pretty far down the line. Jango's chin mole may disappear however.

I have nothing but good things to say from all my sideshow figures....
Deluxe Vader, deluxe clone trooper vet, snow trooper, boba fett proto and regular, ig88, and general grievous...

I am confident that I will enjoy this along with all my other Star Wars figure

If you collect bobbleheads, then yeah, Ultimate is swell. For a high end collector it is what it is, an OK toy.

I am confident that this figure will turn out a great sum of it's parts, and will look great in my collection, however for what we pay for it, along with Sideshow's attention to detail, makes the inaccuracies in this figure unacceptable

Bobblehead? Not sure what you mean by that. The Hasbro Jango head is about the same scale as Hot Toys heads.

And obviously I wasn't saying the Hasbro figure is superior overall (check out that backpack rocket,) just that the Hasbro head looks better than the Medicom's. Surprising given the price difference.

Yeah, I was kidding above. Hoping this SSC version will be the "ultimate" Jango 1/6 figure. And extended forehead aside, the pilot headband is a great look for the exposed Jango head.

 

[Niltusk]

You don't know what a bobbleheads is? Look at the noggin on that?
And then the size of the freaking helmet? Bobblehead!
The Hasbro sculpt has a generic forehead, where the Medi sculpted in tons of detail, the mouth is pretty much perfect, and the jaw/ cheek line is great and basically non existent on the Hasbro. Since I'm looking at both side by side on my desk, I'd suggest you put on some glasses if you think they're even close. The details in hand are beyond staggeringly different, don't see how you see otherwise. Obviously, the Hasbro U is cheap (cost me 25) but it's not like the Medis cost much more on the sales boards and Ebay. I got mine for 75.

The Sideshow figure looks good in that pic other than the cheek. I own the Medi and I'll buy Sideshows. I don't see skinny arms on Sideshows and whilst the Medi is good it's also scrawny.

Storm in a tea cup as usual.

The Hasbro and Medi were released a few years apart, apples vs oranges. The Hasbro was excellent in its day. The Medi headsculpt is NOTHING like Tem. I'd suggest you put on some glasses.

Still not understanding the bobblehead thing - you're inferring the head is oversized when it's pretty much in scale with a Hot Toys head?

As for the head sculpt/paint, I guess it's just up to individual interpretation - which is a surprising thing to say - given the price difference. I don't know if these are "fair" comp pics or not (i.e. bad lighting/lens distortion)... I just think the Hasbro looks a bit better, but neither are great.

 

[CaptnRex]

Wow, great pic, whose defending the Medi headsculpt?
