Sculpt--3.5/5 Boba Fett returns in action figure form with pretty much all the detail found in 300th Boba Fett. That's because it appears that the designers of this Boba Fett figure used the 300th Fett as a starting point. There are a lot of details that are almost identical like the wrinkles in his pants and the posing of his hands. I think it would have been better if they had just started from scratch instead of tweaking 300th Fett's posing and articulation, but it has all the correct details although they seem a little on the soft side. One noticeable difference between the two is that this figure is much more skinny-looking than the 300th Boba Fett. His torso, his legs, and even his helmet look slightly skinnier. With that said, I don't really like how skinny the legs look; it makes them look freakishly long and out of proportion. Another difference is the fact that his cape is now molded plastic instead of cloth. While I am a bit supporter of the use of cloth (when done right), molding the cape also works well in this instance. One major dissappointment is the backpack on this Fett, or more accurately the rocket on his backpack. Since the rocket is the button which activates the built-in action feature, it has been rounded off and basically looks nothing like it should. Boba Fett's rocket-launching jetpack is one of the things that makes Boba Fett look as cool as he does, and Hasbro's choice of turning the rocket into some stupid-looking button was a poor choice. In the end, the sculpting is adequate, but not as good as it was on 300th Boba Fett. Articulation--3.5/5 Boba Fett has eleven points of articulation: neck, shoulders, bicep-cuts on both arms, waist, hips, bend and swivel joint above the right knee, hinged-joint below the right knee, and bend and swivel left ankle. The card back boasts that there is 12 points of articulation, but I'm not sure what the twelvth point is. Perhaps they were including his movable viewfinder/antennae thingie. Eleven points sounds pretty good, but since the shoulder joints are totally loose they automatically become a bit worthless. The most interesting articulation points on this figure are perhaps the knee joints on his right leg. Together they give Boba Fett the ability to bend his leg all the way back much like figures from Toy Biz's Marvel Legends line or many 1/6th scaled military action figures. Many people don't like the way these joints have ruined the look of the knee--in fact, for a time, I was dead-set that I would not buy this figure because of the way his knee looked (plus he has a dreadful action feature). Now that I have the figure, I actually kind of like it. Being able to pose his leg in ways that usually wouldn't be possible has made this a cool figure to display. If they could somehow hide the huge hinge joint below his knee a little better then I would welcome more double-jointed knees. His ball-joined ankle compliments the knee joints well and a great flying or "taking-off" pose can be created. Other than the leg joints, everything else is pretty average or fairly useless, hence the only slightly above-average score. Wrist joints would have helped. Features--1/5 Boba Fett features a quick-draw action exactly like the one built into Pilot Jango Fett. Push down on his rocket and both his arms will fly up to a shooting position. This is quite possibly the second worse quick-draw action feature Hasbro has come up with, making the shoulder joints totally loose and ruining the look of the rocket at the same time. If the feature wasn't present, we'd have a great looking rocket and more posing options. As it is, holding down the button is the only way to keep Fett's arms raised to aim his gun forward. Accessories--3.5/5 You get Boba Fett's blaster rifle, a blast effect and a base. The base is the coolest thing in the set and attaches to the thrusters on Fett's jetpack. The base allows you to make Fett look like he's flying/taking-off/landing and is really what makes this figure shine. Part of the bottom of the base is molded at an angle, allowing you to pose Fett as if taking off at an angle. This also allows Boba Fett to aim his gun straight ahead without keeping your finger on the button. At least they've acknowlegded one of the problems caused by the action feature. The blaster rifle is a different story however. It's based on the one that came with 300th Fett but it looks like a really crappy reproduction. The details on the gun are soft and smoothed out, the trigger guard has shrunk so you can't even put his finger in it, and the scope has become shorter. It seriously almost looks like this thing was sculpted out of Play-Doh. The blast-effect is a new one I think, and it does it's job well. Paint--2.5/5 There's no escaping the fact that Boba Fett needs a lot of paint apps, what with all his armor, weaponry, insignias, and battle-damage. Hasbro did a pretty good job at getting all the major details, but it's clear that they skimped out a bit on this figure. For one thing, this Boba Fett doesn't look as dirty as he should. His coveralls are totally clean with nary a speck of dirt. His armor is likewise clean-looking and while they have sculpted dents in the shoulder and knee pads, they didn't paint any silver spots to simulate paint chipping. The helmet and chest armor has better detailing, but it's definitely not on the same level as 300th Boba Fett. Another thing I take issue with is the colors they chose, most notably the red parts of his armor. The colors are on the bright side, making this figure look like it could be from some new-fangled Droids cartoon. While not a paint issue, there has been a running change in the color of Fett's coveralls. Initially they were molded in a light blue/gray colored plastic, and in later shipments they were in a light green. The light green is the one shown here. Overall--3.5/5 Despite numerous problems with this figure, I can't help but love the way it looks on display. The base is perhaps the real star of this set since it allows for creating one of the only things this figure has going for it--a kickass flying pose. It may not be fair that I've kept comparing this figure to 300th Boba Fett since that figure was sold at a higher price point, but I don't think it's impossible to get that kind of paint and sculpting detail at the basic $5.00 price point. Overall, this has turned out to be a figure I'm glad I bought. If you can get around the poor action feature and slightly ugly knee joint, then I heartily recommend this figure; the flying pose you can make with this figure is just too cool.
