See you in the stores.

 

[Booster Terrik]

Easy pass.

 

[Nighthawk]

Don't like the colors. Easy pass, especially at that price.

 

[Chewbuckaroo]

Cool more novelty repaints.

 

[eightball]

Easy pass.

I'm not a fan of this mold, now that I have a loose ROTJ Fett to play around with. Those knee pads look like they're riding up his leg when you pose him.

And like someone else said in another topic, the comic pack version (with Sarlaac® slime!) looks better. I get that this is mimicking the cover art colors, but it's just too much green. Like he's wearing green overalls

 

[yodashizzle]

This is one that I'd get to have the card, repaints aside, the artwork is very cool on this one. And as repaints go, I don't really like the way the actual figure looks. Sure it's Boba. And Hasbro knows that alone will put the hook in many collectors. There's worse things in the collecting world I suppose. But the cash grab motivation is fairly evident and that kinda stinks. He actually looks like some of the black series 6" Holiday repaints to me as far as the color scheme goes. And I'll try to stay optimistic and just say for those who want one, okay.... cool.....I'll get one carded.

 

[rnbuda]

Ugh...I hate myself.

 

[ClanVizsla]

I'm out on repaints for Boba (and for Clones as well). At least when it comes to pre-ordering.

If I stumble on this in the store? With that color scheme? I can't be held accountable for my actions.

 

[Jertej1]

I know that this is the Comic Scheme, but it sure turned out looking like Christmas Boba.

 

[JediDelight]

Why is it $21?

 

[Nibcrom]

Why is it $21?

Fett Tax.

 

[R1G4R3PO]

Why is it $21?

It's not. It's $23

 

[yodashizzle]

It's not. It's $23

Phew!!! Thought it was gonna be a another ripoff job by somebo.......wait a second.....

 

[Oddball_Fett]

Only reason I'm tempted is because of his similarity to Fenn Shysa. But I'm not getting it, especially not at this price. If I ever saw it cheap then okay, but since these are bizarrely popular anyway that's unlikely. £22 for VC is just too much.

 

[darth_sidious]

This is something I would have bought during the comic pack days, when a couple of figures and a comic were $15, but at $23, no way. Oddly enough, the MSRP is apparently 20.99 (per Hasbro), but Target is getting greedy as well and bumped it up to $23, lol. Looks like everyone is taking collectors for suckers, and figures they'll charge more while they still can.

 

[Booster Terrik]

Looks like a few are available for preorder - guessing a CC was declined for some reason.

Target is back with the $35 minimum for shipping on this one.

Well, dammit, seeing the in-hand image of this one has sold me. If I see it in the wild I'll be buying it. Damn this chokehold nostalgia has on me!!

 

[tanksmasher]

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

yeah it's that and what we all wanted way back when we were kids and it's all showing up now.

 

[GNT]

Not big on comics but that looks pretty dope. love the use of the comic art for the picture .

 

[baaadmotivator]

The paint apps on his helmet are excellent! The body is a little flat. A simple wash would go a loooooooong way

 

[CaptainYoda]

This figure does look great and so does the cardback. Especially with Bossk peeking in on the side!!!!

Wait a minute...why arent they doing a comic colored Bossk? Take the old Bossk that was on a vintage card and re-paint. BAM! I would buy him for sure.

I think I would too. That Bossk sculpt, while pushing twenty years of age, still holds up very well. I think the only thing it needs to improve it is swivel wrists. Wouldn't cost Hasbro that much to tool up some new forearms for that figure. Hope they do at some point.

 

[yodashizzle]

I think the card is one of the best in any of Hasbro's lines. And as with the other Fetts, I'll pick him up at some point I'm sure.

 

[Tulgah]

Repaints sometimes can annoy but I’m really excited for this guy. I’ve always liked this look and have the comic adorning one of my shelves.
