That thing is going to have a hard time improving on the MAFEX ROTJ Boba Fett. That figure is pretty amazing.

I have the Mafex ESB Fett, but didn't get the RotJ version. Kind of glad they started with this one, so I've got an excuse to get it haha.

The MAFEX Boba's look like a real guy in a suit.
This Figuarts version looks like an action figure. |

Releasing this Fett just feels kinda pointless after the kick-ass one MAFEX did. |

Yeah I full expect this one not to be as good as the Mafex as far as looks go. The helmet looks a little too small also.
I can see from a consumer stand point why you might see it as pointless, but every line has to release a Vader/Fett/Stormtroopers etc. It's not like just because someone did it well, other companies aren't going to still release theirs. |

I totally disagree, I have the mafex and it's not that good to me. I can't wait for the SHF version!!!!!!!!!!! |

Right and those cables are delicate and brittle, frequently come out and hinder articulation so Bandai's design choice isn't any less valid.

Those cables on the elbow have always been an issue for Boba Fett action figures--they're done in a way that either restricts arm movement or leads to breakage.
Mafex and Figuarts are going for different things. Mafex is going for screen accuracy, sacrificing sturdiness. Figuarts is going for a more playable action figure, sacrificing screen accuracy. I don't play with my figures, but I also want to be able to pose them without worrying about snapping things or pulling cables out of slots. Also, I prefer the way the Figuarts shoulder armor actually rotates with the shoulders, instead of just hanging off the torso. The way Bandai handled the design is ideal (for me, anyway). I love the Jedi Boba Fett, but I passed on Mafex multiple times, even at discount prices, after watching the reviews. Last edited by predaking000; 04-26-2019 at 11:47 AM.. |
