Boba Fett - #TBOBF??

[AgentClaret]

I can't wait for a proper BoBF Boba! I'm going to modify one of these and I already found an accurate belt on Etsy.

What would you guys suggest to use for the legs?

I'm thinking General Lando legs repainted black... the style is close and I should be able to find one cheaply...

I'll probably grab a skirt from a random extra Vader to complete the look.

And just like that, he’s reached Georgia.
Had to drive a good ways to a WalMart in Snellville. They had 6 on pegs. I bought two.

 

[AgentClaret]

I had another store pick up order cancelled today. I don't know why I even bother, this kind of BS is why I rarely step foot in a Wal-Mart...

 

[PhasmaIsTheBomb]

Interesting detail: there is a black piece glued inside the helmet. I assume they’re using the same helmet for Cobb Vanth and the piece makes it not wobble on Boba’s bald head.

 

[wps72]

He's in Illinois, picked one up at Walmart today.

 

[rnbuda]

Gonna hit my Walmarts today!

 

[K_M_Toydarian]

checking this morning, it showed in stock to pick up at store, so I ordered 1. Just got the email saying my item is unavailable now, but they gladly made a substitution! LOL

 

[jedimasterc]

No store in my has yet to get it in. I must live the butt end of nowhere. What amazes me is I live near freaking Nasa and Boeing.

 

[Billy_Ray]

Been haunting Walmart for weeks now looking for this. A couple even have the pegs for him but, as far as I know he hasn't shown up. My Amazon P.O. unexpectedly shipped today though and he will be here tomorrow! Just got Fennec the other day, can't wait to have them together

 

[rnbuda]

Jealous! I’ve been waiting a little extra for BBTS to shop items hitting stores weeks earlier.

 

[jedimasterc]

I am amazed that I haven’t heard anyone find this guy at Target.

 

[Billy_Ray]

Really digging this guy!

 

[Nerfherder]

I got this figure today, and until I had a shipping notice, I assumed I had not ordered it. Totally forgot! Anyways, it's a fine figure, but in no way is this value at the deluxe price. They simply put his gear off to the side to fill the box out. It's kinda ridiculous.

 

[Agen_Kolar]

I received mine from Amazon today, and while I agree he’s not deluxe-worthy, he is a great figure. I still think Hasbro needs to work on their Boba/Clone likeness, though. It’s just not Tem.

Dry brush some silver on his guns.

The mousers are great!

Where did you get those mini Galaxy's Edge coke bottles????

 

[Billy_Ray]

There's been a lot said about the head sculpt on this. While I agree, it does look a little off I must say, it looks better in hand. There's some fine scarring details that don't show up in photos that well.

Boba finally showed up at my local wallyworld

It's the same piece on the ROTJ Boba Fett helmet.

However, the headsculpt on the ROTJ Boba Fett is different.

A quick thought occured to me, seeing that photo... wouldn't it be cool if they had made some kind of facial tattoo for Boba, inspired by and mixed of both Maori and Mandalorian culture - his appearance would definitely be something else

Like Mike Tyson?!

Not tribal in that sense, but I'm sure Mike did it to appear more intimidating visually too. If by some chance you did not know his rep.

More like a blend of this:

I think it's a good idea. The more of his personality he can incorporate into the character, the better.

I like where you're heading with this however it would be tricky territory in a sense. Maori are protective of cultural spiritual art and symbolism. There have been several occasions in the past where legal action has been taken over the use of cultural themes where no blessing was sought or deemed offensive. It would need to be treated carefully and respectfully but I love the idea as it's all about intergalactic inclusion my Danish friend and scummer.

Dorkside forgot to mention this was shipped to me - not the worst thing but it's here next week
And he will stay helmeted.

That's great news, hoping BBTS will process mine soon. Fennec has been patiently waiting in the loot pile all by herself.

I don't even have her yet

 

[GreedoTwerp]

I don't even have her yet

I slept through that first shipment when she was actually available here, snoozed and did lose. Been in the loot pile a month already

I held off on purpose, while learning to beat my FOMO.
I will get her at some point, if possible. I think she will be available again, if she isn't now.

Same here - no email or anything from DS. Was surprised to see it show up last Saturday.

I honestly thought I'd had to wait longer and as I implied, not really something I am complaining about - glad he is coming and in a surprising way too.

My pulse order for this came in last week. I put the Tython Boba Fett's gaffe stick in his hand and I think I'm pretty content never buying another Boba Fett again.

Unless he stars a whole lot more new media with a completely different look entirely... or if this line is still around in 10 years and the articulation is somehow even further updated.... this is it!

 

[Masterfett]

I kind of wager against him showing up in Mando S3 because the the Mandalorian stuff doesn't seem interest him. On the other hand Boba might that he's feel indebted to Din for his help on Tatooine.

Yeah I dong think we’ll see Boba on Mando s.3. From everything I’ve read it sounds like they’re going heavy into Mandalore proper and the politics therein. I can’t really see a fit for Boba in that kinda story. But I’ve definitely been wrong before so we’ll see.
