On second thought, he's definitively not landing, but still it seems weird

I wonder if we will get a unmasked COH? Not sure if I really like or will ever display one unmasked fett.

He better freakin' not come with a COH. You never see Fett's face and I don't care what those ****** prequels say.

If any company wanted to get cute with providing an unmasked Fett the only thing I would accept (even though I wouldn't display it) would be a "behind the scenes" COH of the actual actor or stuntman wearing the costume. Since this is apparently Sarlacc Pit Fett I would accept either Glenn Randall (pictured below) or Dickey Beer.

For ESB they could do a bearded Jeremy Bulloch:

Temeura Morrison? Forget that.

This was my thinking, yeah. If he's landing heel first with an unbent leg, he'd hurt himself. Try hopping down even a single stair on one leg, landing on your heel with your leg totally straight and not bending to cushion the impact. Doesn't work well.

And if he's pushing off, also doesn't work. Try standing on one leg again, this time pulling your toes up off the ground and again having your leg totally straight. Now jump somehow without using either your toes or the bending of your knee for leverage. Doesn't work well.

That's about as well as I can explain what I'm seeing.

He's not pushing off. He's just guiding, using his foot as a mini-rudder. He has a jet pack, he doesn't need a push off he just needs to angle himself backward. Imagine he was standing on that thing and being shot at and he jumps up a little, engages the jet pack, it spurts up a bit initially, he falls a few inches with his one foot on that thing and he allows himself to fall backwards as he ignites the jetpack into full force to send himself backwards and up. I don't know, it makes sense to me.

 

[Jagjaguwar]

Well, that makes enough sense. Especially given the angle of a his upper body and the jetpack thrusters. Thanks for spelling it out so my dumb brain could stop worrying about it

Come to think of it, who knows if the stupid foot is even touching anything at all..... Could just be the angle...

 

[Visedar]

My guess is that the platform which he is standing on is collapsing, and he's recovering from the fall, maintaining balance and staying afloat, using his jetpack.

 

[El Mule]

Don't see the point in arguing this much about the pose, every Boba artwork with him using the jetpack has a similar stance. He's clearly using his left leg to push backwards and his right leg to prevent from hitting the wall and to propel upwards, avoiding to hit the wall while evading an attack. For what it's worth, I do love it, my only gripe is the smoke effect.

How do people in the US get these?

Most collectors use a third party who has direct access. Costs a bit more, but they can be obtained.

VADER PRICE IS CRAZY...

Set of 3??? WTF????

 

[user 6734]

its stupid.. if you do 3 versions.. let people buy them separately .. I dont need 3 Vaders if thats the case

UPDATE: is for a set of 3 SW statues.. wonder if you can order Vader separate

XM post: "We believe once you've seen it in person, you'd agree it all needs to be TOGETHER. Again wish we can share more but we have sworn secrecy. "

Maybe a diorama of vader fights jedi

 

[Manhunto]

It could be something incredible. By the standards of XM price is not high. We get three PF 518$ each + -. Give photos XM!

 

[user 6734]
