XM Boba Fett 1/4 statue

[comicbookguy]

I can't tell any differences? Looks just like Boba Fett to me. Looks just like my sw action figure, and the rocket guy in the movies?? Looks like the best Boba Fett ever made for the same reasons mention before imo. Judging by the fans reaction from the show all I hear seem to think this is by far the best ever made of this guy no question. not to mention one of the best statues that will be made ever. I'm super excited to hear this.

Guys I went to STGCC2015 today, Boba, Luke Skywalker and Vader trio. I'm sorry guys, this Boba knocks any other Boba I've seen out of the park. I thought Sideshow's one was great. This one is godly. I'm lost for words really, and I wished I had pictures to back me up, but due to licensing issues those will have to wait.

I will admit this openly, I need to sell to buy. Haven't got a job and still in school, so money doesn't come by easy. And I would fully admit that I ordered this from the XM desk to capitalize on the SWVII hype. I ordered Boba before I saw the prototype on display. Call me a flipper, but I know what's practical for me and what's not. And all I can say after seeing the prototype is this: I will do whatever it takes to keep this statue in my collection. Because he deserves it. And I ****ing love it.

Not surprised to hear this. Initially I was skeptical when I decided to get the XM Cap, but when I unbowed that thing, it was, without a doubt one of the nicest statues I have ever come across.

When I heard XM got the SW license, I knew Fett would be one of the first characters they would do. I can't wait to lock my PO in!

I dont know what so many are seeing. Its cartoonish and dont look like Star Wars Boba from the movies .. its a good Version, but its not Star Wars to me.

Have you seen the sculpt? You'd change your mind in a second if you did.

Thank you for sharing your experience and your feedback. Was the prototype fully painted? The reason I ask is because I've been seeing some video's of other statues at SGTCC 2015, and most of them are unpainted. And I know you're praising the XM Boba Fett, but in comparison to XM's Marvel statues, would you say this one also gives that comic look & feel, or unlike the Marvel ones, it looks more realistic?

P.S. Any news on when the reveal and/or the PO will be (Singapore time)?

Thanks in advance.

Keep in mind on all the Marvel statues it says ** Comic Version **, so XM was never going for realism on those statues... The only two that were movie based were the two Iron Man statues, even though Pepper Portrait was just ok, the Downy Jr. one was pretty spot on...

Yes that is the best way I don't want realism at least not most anyways.

Is this a global license for XM sw?

That's why I love this hobby and these boards! I am the exact opposite as mixed media is a major selling point for me. To each his (or her) own...

 

[myc]

I prefer the mixed media as well.. gives the statue so much realism over fully sculpted.. like a prop in small scale

Good move I'm going to try to get rid of mine as well without losing the NRD. Just love fully sculpted and the action pose a lot more for me. XM has no ES but I don't care. Lol

I prefer fully sculpted myself ><

Yep but likely gonna be 999..
i ordered anyways too.. I also ordered vader and i havent even seen him yet lol. First time ive ever dont that lol... but from what i hear its gonna be a-m-a-z-i-n-g

Lol that's a first for sure PO without even knowing what it looks like at like close to 3k. That's shows us all how we have confidence in XM. I mean who would do something like this right? To dump that much money into something we can't even see what it looks like. I would do the same if I didn't have so many things I want. Also prime 1 is not helping my budget lol.... Now all I can do cut down on my ss PO's in the future. Will have to PO everything from XM, some prime 1, some pcs, and less SS. no offense to ss I love them and still have many PO from them and more to come. Just saying I will be much more picky with them now. However if they can prove me wrong with improve QC, CS, and the wow factor is still there I will surely buy just as much again from them. Until they can prove me wrong most of my money will now stream down to the other 3 competitors now.

One more to comparisson, I know its 1/5 scale, but we can still compare the arts.

If the Mythos was 1/4 scale it would be the winner...

As of now I don't like the XM Fett at all.... I know it's not complete or final but looks like a Kenner action pose... It's too over the top and is more of a fan boy fantasy then what the real Fett was like.... The Mythos is a "fantasy" idea also but the pose and style are very Fett like... Not so for the XM. I like the PF better also as it is more true to the character... I am sure XM will make proper adjustments ad it will end up looking killer but I don't think I will ever dig the over the top action pose... I think an over the top action pose for Vader will ruin that sculpt also... Hope they stay more true to the character for that one.
