This is, without a doubt, the best Boba Fett figure produced in this scale as of this writing. Hasbro commorates 300 figures with a great rendition of Boba Fett, complete with rocket firing backpack, functional holster, and cloth cape. Read on for the review and 7 photos!
Boba Fett
300th Figure
After 299 Star Wars figures, Hasbro has chosen none other than that infamous bounty hunter, Boba Fett, to take the honors of being their 300th figure.
| Sculpt--5/5 Can it get any better? Every detail is faithfully reproduced, from Fett's belts to every piece of his armor. I can honestly find no fault with the sculpting! There really is nothing more to say about it, other than--perfection! Articulation--4/5 The articulation on Fett is also excellent. He has eight points of articulation: neck, shoulders, bicep-cut on his right arm, forearm-cut on his left arm, waist, and hips. The antenna on his helmet is also movable which is a first for a Fett of this scale, I believe. His posability is somewhat limited, but it's better than other figures that are sculpted to hold their weapon with two hands. The good thing about Fett's joints are that they are very well hidden. I kinda wish they had added a wrist joint to his right arm; that way, we'd be able to put him more poses. Accessories--5/5 Top notch in the accessory department. He comes with two blasters, the BlasTech EE-3 rifle and the smaller blaster that is seen in some photos of Fett. The smaller blaster fits into the holster on Fett's right hip and can somewhat fit into his right hand. Fett also has his trademark jetpack. The small jets on the sides of the pack are movable and the rocket can be removed. Included is a second rocket for the use of firing. This rocket is all black and sticks out of the bottom of the jetpack when fully inserted. The tip of this rocket is also rounded for safety. Most people will probably never use this rocket and just leave the display rocket in the backpack. Still, it's a nice option if you like these types of weapons. Paint--4/5 Boba Fett has a lot of color, and a lot of detail. This means more chances for sloppiness and paint errors. My Fett was pretty good, though I have heard of people getting one with a few things not painted at all. Overall though, he is painted pretty well; mine only shows a bit of sloppiness in a few areas: the left gauntlet and shoulder pad. For instance, the little rocket on the left gauntlet has paint bleeding onto the gauntlet itself. Same story with the shoulder pad; it is not fully painted and the paint bleeds onto Fett's jumpsuit. Other than these points, the figure is painted wonderfully. I like the dirt effect around his ankles and hips, and the wear n' tear effects on his armor. Overall--4.5/5 If you don't have this figure, you need to get it. If you love Boba Fett, you probably own this guy already. I would have given him a 5 if he had a better variety of poses, but he is still very cool. He was around 10 bucks at the Toys R Us where I got him, but you probably won't find him in stores by now. If you do find it at ten bucks, get it! It's well worth it. |
