Anywho the figure looks ok. This outfit still looks to me like the top half and bottom half don't mesh all that cohesively but it is what it is. Not for me but I'm only a very casual star wars fan these days lol

Back before AotC he definitely had the "cool" factor of being enigmatic but it came with the price of him not really being a character just a cool set of armor. Now when AotC did give Boba Fett a background I always thought it was rather disappointing that he was just a clone of some guy we'd never heard of before, but I guess nothing could've lived up to fans' collective imaginations after two decades. It was all sort of irrelevant though since he still went out like a punk in RotJ (I was always kept the old EU at arm's length so his survival there never held much weight with me). Speaking for myself I've so far liked how these shows have brought him back, he's less "cool" but now I find a more whole character to like instead.

As for how he looks, I actually like this outfit. It does, as you said, lack complete uniformity but I always felt similarly about his RotJ redesign. I like that it keeps the Tusken robes since they were an important part of his survival and life after the sarlacc and then of course the iconic armor is placed over it. Tastes will differ but I like that it's another instance in Star Wars of a character's attire conveying story elements.
