Amazon delivered my throne room Boba Fett today. Just gonna get this said and out of the way now, there is no reason this figure had to be a deluxe release. The paint apps are mostly cleanly done but since this is just after he repainted it pretty much all of the silver weathering effects are gone so it is mostly flat colors with just small touches of detail. The skull emblem on his left shoulder pad isn't positioned 100% proper on mine, and his crest on his upper right chest plate is too small. The head is a direct re-use from the Tusken Boba, with maybe a slightly different color or type of plastic used. The legs are also taken straight from Tusken Boba except for the addition of the knee-pad boot toppers which are just cast in yellow and feature no painted details, they mostly hide under the robing on his legs but still for a supposed "deluxe" they could've been better. He handles well overall and his right arm's hoses/wires/tube-things are soft enough to be managed out of the way for full elbow use. The jet pack is taken from the previous RotJ Boba Fett albeit repainted, which means it's a well made piece but is also missing the repair plating it's had ever since those Jawas took it so it's technically inaccurate. His helmet is, I think, actually new and is easily worn and removed, and unlike the packaging on the RotJ version this one isn't squeezed to shit before you even open it. This is being sold as Book of Boba Fett merch but it's really a Mandalorian season 2 design. I'm sure Hasbro will make a proper BoBF version later sold as yet another "deluxe," but I'm happy with how this figure turned out even though I've got some critiques and the price is just a popularity tax. One last note I have is that since he uses the same jet pack and left gauntlet as the RotJ figure the flamethrower and jet thrust effect pieces from that figure can be used here as well.
