Breath taking. Very difficult this will be to deny. Very difficult.

God Hot Toys you are hurting my wallet today. Man this will be hard to resist but the one thing I really notice is we will be getting a Fennec Shand figure too.

I like how they were not at all subtle about dropping Fennec in there. Not a little hint of the side of her arm or anything, they just put her right there. I know with Hot Toys there’s never a guarantee of actually getting the figure until it’s announced (I’m looking at you Empire costume Han Solo and your tease in the old Cloud City Leia pics) but they seem to be churning out the Mandalorian figures with ease, so I remain hopeful.

Hot Toys is putting me in the poor house with all the awesome Mandalorian stuff the last few months. This set looks awesome. Instant buy.

I'm definitely ordering but I hope they fix that armor. They just painted over the old weathered armor they had. It was all smooth in the show.

Yeah, Boba totally fixed his armor up once he got it back. It doesn't look weathered at all, and the paint was much better applied as well.

Not totally fixed, he still has the signature helmet dent and some other wear is visible on the body armor. Overall though yes it was much cleaner and smoother than what Hot Toys is showing here.

That's way too extreme even for OT Fett. All the sets started off pristine, and aside from the major dents all of the wear and tear was accomplished though paint

I hope they make VC figures of both. Hot Toys are way too rich for my blood.

Was anybody else bothered a little when both of the characters stood on the grate above the Rancor pit?

No, the trap door was only a small portion of floor between the throne and grating. That and Boba had been there before so he knew where to stand or not if Bib even bothered to get a replacement for the rancor.

This is tempting. I don't have any other Fett 1:6 figures. The sculpt looks great. I wish Fett looked less bulky, but the character (and actor) is no kid at this stage, so a little padding might be expected. Wonder if we'll ever see him on-screen again.

Well he's getting his own show that airs this December (at the moment anyway) so yeah.

He is actually in really good shape, especially for his age, but a totally different body type from Jeremy Bulloch. One of the other actors who played Boba Fett in ESB also portrayed 4LOM, so the OT Boba body type is comparable to C-3PO. Anyone wearing all those layers who isn't svelte is gonna look bulky.

True, but on the Mandalorian the armor has texture after the Sarlacc acid corroded the paint. When he repainted it before The Believer, Boba simply painted over that rather than stripping it and giving it a smooth coat.

Except it wasn't. There IS visible texture on the repainted version. I can't post links here but try a high quality cap site to see.

You're right there is some wear on the armor and helmet, but it was not smooth in the last two episodes of the season.

I hope they fast track the preorder/full reveal of Fennic Shand so that her release will come around the same time as this Fett/throne. She pretty much needs to go with this display as shown in the promo photos.
But again, as I always gripe about anytime a new Hot Toys Star Wars item is reveal..... when are we EVER going to get the preorders for the Bespin Han and AOTC Padme, among others, that were teased 2-3 years ago?! Sigh... |

I've been pouring over the scenes and every still I can of this costume for seven months, even been lucky enough to speak directly with the costume designer, and replicated the suit to the best of my ability. (That's actually me in my avatar with my old helmet.) Last edited by Ru1977; 07-14-2021 at 09:28 PM.. |
