Star Wars Bobba Fett Premium Format 1/4 Scale Figure


Boba Fett. The shining example that even in space, it's looks that count over substance. Sure, he only had a handful of lame lines, and he met with a pathetic death (and an even more pathetic reincarnation in the books), but he's just so damn good looking in that armor. How could you not love him?Certain designs are simply so good that they transcend generations and appeal to not only all ages, but ages to come. In the world of film, characters like Frankenstein's Monster, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the Alien are all so well conceived that they will live on as icons, unaffected by generational changes in fashion or style. In the world of fantasy and sci-fi, Boba Fett is this classic sort of design. Carried by DarkFigures.com & Manufactured by Sideshow collectibles The mysterious bounty hunter as he appeared in Return of the Jedi. Boba Fett stands 19 inches tall atop an environmental display base reminiscent of Jabba's palace. Every detail of Fett's Mandalorian armor has been reproduced in true 1:4 scale, as well as his jetpack and braided wookiee pelt trophies. Boba Fett's helmet features ball-joint articulation, so that you can turn his calculating gaze in whichever direction you desire. The Premium Format Boba Fett figure is the ultimate Fett collectible - don't miss this chance to get yours!
The Premium Format version was met with much joy. With a run of just 2000 pices, this item is already sold-out by the manufacturer, but can still be dound at DarkFigures priced lower than the regular retail price.
The pose for this figure is good - and *almost* great. He's standing slightly relaxed, most of his weight shifted to the left leg, holding the blaster in both hands. Parts of this review was supplied by michael crawford reviews
