1/6 Sideshow Mythos Boba Fett Figure.

[svnmelter]

I just wanna know if the joints are loose or solid. I usually dont buy sideshow products, because of the garbage bodies they use

They fixed that issue with Luke and Obi.

Really? I was weary, but if they fixed those issues, I'm on board!

This is my 1st Sideshow figure and I have to say it's pretty good. The only issue is the body they used seems a bit flimsy. Besides that, I'm pleased with the details in the weapons and the outfit.

Yeah, I was kind of psyched for this release (and just catching up on this thread) but the helmet doesn't seem quite as spot-on as I remembered the proto being, even if I still like the overall proportions. The cheeks shape doesn't quite look right and SSC always seems to sculpt a hard edge/line into the upper back area of the cheeks (same with their ESB Boba) even though there isn't supposed to be one - on any Fett helmet.

And that molded gap just above the brow is unfortunate - no easy fix for that. Though I guess you could argue this is an EU Fett so the helmet doesn't necessarily need to be a 100% match to ESB or ROTJ.

The hands seem a touch undersized (man, what is it with companies struggling with Fett's hands, even HT?,) and the poses a bit funky on a couple I saw, but again - not enough pics/vids yet to judge fully.

That being said, it looks awesome overall so far even though there hasn't been enough pics to really definitely judge the fig. Definitely still looks like a fittingly strong ending/final fig for SSC SW 1/6.

Final SSC SW figure? Where did you read that? That's surprising to me and the first I heard of this?!

Hey Chris, I didn't try removing it but it should be possible. Maybe some CA Remover/solvent or if worse comes to worse and it all doesn't come off: a scalpel, some sanding and paint. It felt like they applied generous amounts of adhesive as the fabric in that area is brittle and hard. I believe the kama/kilt piece is just like a belt. I saw a snap/clasp in the front.

This is the best representation of a 1/6 Fett bucket IMO. One small nitpick on the helmet is the slight gap that goes around the top; as if the green "cap" part - above the range finder and mask area is a bit small in diameter, leaving a tiny ledge around the whole helmet where it should be flush. Something that could be easily puttied but then would require a repaint if one chose to go that far.

The body proportions underneath are more realistic than the puffier/buff fett's that we've gotten before, with the tailoring to match, and the hands are very well done - a bit smaller, but more in proportion imo.
This would look amazing as any modded Fett replacement, but then there's the work.

I'm sure with your skills you will be able to make it work.

Thanks man. I appreciate your thoughts on this one. I now have a decision to make.

Yeah, I'm not sure why HT and Sideshow can't get the correct taper angle and proportions of the helmet.

This figure opened for PO about 16+ months ago and there's been no other word on another 1/6th SW figure. Lando in Disguise was teased and slowly swept under the rug. I'm pretty sure everybody sees the writing on the wall...

As much as SSC isn't Hot Toys, it'd be disappointing if they stopped making figures as they're likely the only chance we'd have at animated show characters like Ahsoka.

I don't know. They've had over a decade to drop at least one version of Ahsoka and they never seemed like they were ever interested. Hell, we're getting an Asajj Ventress Mythos and she's already had a 1/6th figure too, but never a hint of Ahsoka.

From a post on OSR:

Hmmm the flimsy body is exactly what I was worried about when I was looking at the figure. I just finished payment for him today and expect to have him shipped tomorrow. I'm looking forward to this unique Fett but am definitely aware of the quality issues with SSC and won't hesitate to send him back if I find issues.

What forum is OSR? I've been trying to find reviews or other forums talking about this figure, but this forum and SirJames review on youtube are the only ones I can find.

Man, Sideshow should really hire this guy for their figure videos, as he actually knows how to talk about and pose a figure properly! In fact seeing some of his poses really makes me tempted for the first time to pick this up.

I was already considering a ROTJ Fett to go with my ESB Fett, but was worried they might be a little too similar. But this one has all of those ROTJ elements I like but is also different enough to really stand out.

No flimsy body but worth mentioning not as solid as an ht ttm body but better than past bodies SSC was known for.

Got my Mythos Boba Fett today. SS is trying...they really are. This one is a mixed bag for me. After the Mythos Obi Wan I had high expections.

The cons:
1) The body is not "Floppy"...but its soft...especially the legs. He will stand on his own....but the stand sure helps.
2) The guns look okay...but the lightsabers looks kinda cheap with gloppy silver paint. Very noticable plastic seamlines.
3) Sideshow (and HT is guilty too) keeps using the most infuriating way to connect the back pack. So frustrating to hook on the little straps and God Help you if you bump it trying to pose, of you start all over.

The Pros:
1) Once he is set up...he LOOKS really good.
2)The weathering on the cloak is very well done.
3) Comes with a decent set of acessories.
4) Paint (except the sabers) is well done.

If the body was tighter, I would give this a solid B+ but as is......B-

I have to wonder if this is SS last Star Wars 12"....

Thanks for the pics and the review Vonhahn. Is it just me or is he missing one of his pouches on his belt?

 

[Vonhahn]

It was just the way they were arranged, I hadn't futzed yet......

I thought the same thing! The fact that he put the poncho under the jetpack made a huge difference in how the figure looked. He was quick and to the point and cut out the fluff. My go-to guy for reviews from now on! Mine arrived yesterday and as soon as I get a break between meetings, I'll be following along with the video and futzing to get a similar look.

 

[Ramatuelle]

….Did you guys notice how the reviewer said he took an extra day to futz around with the figure before he made the second video. He knows what he's doing and it shows. SSC, you better recognize.

Loving these pix everyone, ty

Good shots and comments, V
Still looking forward to getting this figure.
