    Something NEW from Kotobukiya in the pipe line (a different kind of Boba Fett)...

    Although it does irritate me that Kotobukiya are doing something else with Boba Fett..., this is actually interesting & it's also for a good cause too, the following is the text from the Kotobukiya facebook page: -

    Kotobukiya is excited to be participating in the “As You Wish” charity art project benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The challenge before us is to take a standard Boba Fett helmet and create something really memorable out of it. Here is our concept art entitled Warrior Boba. Keep checking this page for the latest updates, as sculpting will soon commence. For more information on this worthwhile cause visit http://www.facebook.com/asyouwishproj

    Interesting concept. Looking forward to seeing something different with the character.

    It's a pity there will be only one though..., I personally think when they do something like this they should at least make a 0.45 scale helmet to sell to collectors..., I've seen SO many of these helmets with a Stormtrooper as the template & I'd like to have quite a few for my collection BUT money & space make that impossible BUT 0.45 scale would be another matter..., I could easily fit some in my limited space then!!!

    They already made two 1:7 Fett's and only 1 Stormtrooper which also has a stupid pose. WTH?

    This isn't for collectors to buy, it's just a one off 1:1 scale helmet for charity..., all sorts of companies do it (I believe), I've seen lots of different one's anyway..., here's a link (below) that shows a Stormtrooper & another Fett helmet that have been given a make over for CVI.

    Something similiar was made with a 1:1 Vader helmet. Scroll down half ways on the page.

    I keep hoping they'll stop making things over & over again like Boba Fett & Darth Vader, I'll be happy if they just start finishing off the clone Commanders in the 1:7 scale that they started..., can't just leave it at 2 out of 5 afterall, that's just irritating!!!

    They made many 1:1 helmets for charities, some really good some ugly as hell. Anyway I really hope Koto wil lbring us another 1:7 Stormtrooper, it's been time.

    I told them so myself in an e-mail I sent on their website a while back (re: overdue figure)..., I said enough with the Vader & Fett constant repeats please & if they want to repeat something then the Stormtrooper would be ideal figure, even asked if they could make the 1:10 scale 2 pack set in 1:7 scale format so we can then make our own posed Stormtroopers in a size we prefer..., I got the usual noncommittal thanks for my input but that's to be expected really!!!

    & then what do they go & do not many months later..., make another 1:10 scale Boba Fett & also a 1:1 scale charity helmet of him, typical!!!
