This is so historically kitschy it's cool. I love the coins, and the little nods. If anything they could have made Fett more basic and it still would have fit.

Hope they give us a 6” thall joben.

Target exclusives. Sigh...

Wish these were on Pulse so that I'd probably have a better chance of getting them. At least Pulse has measures to prevent scalper bots from nabbing everything, unlike Target's horrible website.

Also, can Target PLEASE stop emailing me every other day to approve shipping delays for items I've preordered? If I preordered it, then YES I want it and I don't care if the ship date gets pushed back another week! I shouldn't have to constantly re-confirm that with them if a shipping date gets moved back slightly. I probably had to re-confirm a dozen times for the Spawn Gunslinger figure that I was ok with the delays on it before they finally shipped it. They've already cancelled 2 preordered items of mine (McFarlane black suit Cavill Superman and the 1966 Batcave) because I didn't rush to confirm immediately, and since those preorders are now sold out, I can't re-order them and just have to hope I'll be lucky enough to find them in stores. I'm betting Target somehow neglected to email me about those 2 items which is why I missed them because I'm jumping on these email notices as soon as I get them. But this frequent thing with Target emailing me every week about shipping delays on preorders is really pissing me off and now I'm having to go in and double check my other preordered items almost every day just to make sure none are requiring that damn re-confirmation in case I missed an email from Target because I'm so paranoid they are going to suddenly cancel another preorder without warning.

First off, awesome. Second, if I do somehow manage to get these I will get preauthorized every week until they ship. eBay exclusives.

"EXPRESSION!"
After one livestream...that word got severely overrated.

I wonder what the over/under is in Vegas for how many different Bobas Hasbro can release before they give us shiny armor Mando Boba. IMO this kind of stuff is perfect for exclusives though.

Man, I was so excited for this Black Series Droids Boba after hearing about the rumor, but seeing it's on the old outdated Boba body? Never mind.

I reckon it's because that body has a holster (and pistol) as he did in the cartoons.

Neat. Gotta love that style. Classic!

Probably, but man is it just such a worse figure than the new one.

PROVOST · 09-24-2021, 12:37 AM

Looks good.

Must haves for me !

Alucard1138 · 09-24-2021, 06:10 AM

Had both Boba's in my cart, smaller Boba sold out while I was checking out so I only got the Black Series version. Surprised I even got that.

Comedian · 09-24-2021, 07:33 AM

I did secure all 4. I’m shocked. Now to be charged once a week until they ship. Yay.

ShabbyBlue · 09-24-2021, 07:37 AM

The 3.75" Fett sold out fast, but I'm surprised that the 6" version is still available nearly 2 hours after it went up.

And Mungo Baobab!

Fun fact, Droids was developed in large part by legendary Star Wars sound-designer Ben Burtt, who later appeared in a cameo in The Phantom Menace as a cousin (Eben Q3 Baobab) to Droids' third-arc tritagonist, the aforementioned Mungo (and a poem Burtt wrote for the series, "Da Wherda Verda" was later incorporated into the sountrack for Shadows of the Empire and eventually evolved into an important bit of Mandalorian cultural lore).

I know, right?

So why did they use the newly-tooled ROTJ Fett moulds for the the 3.75" version?

I was pleasantly surprised how smoothly this preorder went on my end! The figures loaded, I added them to my cart one at a time, then checked out. Wish other preorders could go as smoothly *COUGH PREMIUM BANDAI COUGH*
