This is lame. I think that package is kitschy and looks obviously photo-shopped.
1. Hot Toys doesn't even acknowledge Kenner. They're the only reason this "Vintage Color" exists
2. They made a proper preproduction version already,
this is what the Kenner figure was based off of.

3. It's a very weird meta thing. Hot Toys
used to be known for their realism, accuracy and attention to detail. This is just bizarre making it purposely look like a toy with the candy red rocket and blue plastick-y look.
4. He looks like he's pregnant with a massive waist and child bearing thighs. He THICC.
I guess I just don't get it. In the past 40 years we've had the original Kenner Boba Fett, reproductions of the rocket firing prototype. An actual mail-away figure in 2010. Gentle Giant's scanned Jumbo 12" replica. The Black Series throw back. The recent retro release that's currently at Walmart. What more do people need?
This just doesn't feel or look right. I mean what's next? A Hot Toys "vintage" Stormtrooper that is yellowed to replicate the look of a degrading figure from 1980? This just seems so tacky.
