I was hoping it would be just a repack of the original, or slightly repainted with new accessories to match his RotJ appearance, or even the animated debut like you said. Instead it's the most boring Boba Fett they could've chosen, a 6" McQuarrie concept Fett would've been freakin' great, I'll probably still pick this up if I see it, but I won't go out of my way to find it. Sorry if I'm bumming out anyone who wants this, I'm glad that some people really want this. Still my favorite Star Wars character.

True, they probably will, but knowing my luck it'll probably be a convention exclusive of some kind.

It's been a while since I looked at one, do these have any kind of bio on the back of their boxes?

not my usual scale but I plan on getting him.

According to Jedi Temple Archives, it looks as if there's a possibility that the ETA of the Walgreen's exclusive Boba Fett may be a little sooner that we had previously believed !!!

Unless they get them in a smart tote or something, there is no way they will get them in on Monday, trucks can't come on Mondays, because of the way the warehouse system works, they get packed on one day and then are at the store the next day. No one is in the warehouse on Sundays.

Tuesday I can believe, though. This store might be one of the bigger ones, if they're getting them so soon (Las Vegas, Chicago, etc.), and that makes sense with the amount they're getting total (27).

I still wish whoever is taking these pics would slip up and leave their store number on here, it's really fucking stupid of them to take pictures of our CONFIDENTIAL information like profit, etc.

Edit: Also, the BS about eight is how many are coming initially, etc. is not true, my store is only getting three to start off with on the 30th of August (though this date may be different now, I didn't check our system today)

IF I got that, I'd cut off the wookie braids and the poncho/cape to make it closer to the concept.

I guess asking for a remolded jetpack was too much.

Nope, no bio or backstory.

Yes. Yes, it was.

Joking aside, this is supposed to be a tribute to the concept art/prototype suit, not an actual figure of that design. "Inspired by" might be a better way of looking at it.

[tgbobafett]

what is the actual UPC for this?? thx

Too many folks get it mixed up. The Walgreens exclusive figure is based on the suit screen test, not McQuarrie's original concept. Technically the only things it messed up was not having "grapple hooks" on the rocket pack, no wookie pelts (though they did mention that he would have them), and the original test gun was different.

Would've been awesome if they actually made the shoulder cape look like the Star Wars beach towel they used for the test.
