Loved the repaint of the young boba. I also, cannot see a flaw in your re-working of his hair. Liked the SA Embo. I really like that figure. His shoulder armor is calling to me, as you can imagine.

Great job buddy.

the most current version of young boba (the one I used above) is already super arty!  the only thing that is missing is the mid-torso ball joint, it currently has a swivel waist above the belt.  But for me that's not to big of a deal at all.  Hasbro actually got this figure right as far as basic construction goes IMHO.   I just think they could have designed a more "classic" mini-armor for his breastplate instead of that partial "training armor" (as i've been calling it).

I also think that they could have picked a better color scheme... one that was closer to the boba we know and love... or even holiday special colors (e-gad!)

Spuda, you are getting really good at this...is it my imagination, but have you recently had one of those moments when things seem to take a huge leap forward....

The collection of Bobas looks very professional indeed, and is right up there with the best of the best!

Spud this is an awesome update! Embo is one of my favorite characters from the CW and I love the modded legs. That being said, the Boba's steal steal the show! I love your repaints! The older CW version was/is great but I am floored by the repainted young Boba! Great touch glueing on the pockets! The paint work looks great as well. You did an awesome job trimming his hair to fit the bucket as it is barely noticable. Well done! Now I need to find these new figures so I can make a young Boba with proper colors.

Wow Devin, like the paint apps that closely match the regular boba armor and now the helmet fits. Expect to see this on the fp soon.

Thanks everyone for the excellent replies.  when I saw this figure I knew I had to get several and do a few simple repaints and maybe even more with them!  

Hangarbay:  Thanks for that compliment, I do believe that my figures have taken a leap as far as painting.  I've always said (and been told) that paint apps on a figure can make or break it.  I have had several figs in the past that I believed were amazingly constructed, but then I F-ed up the paint on them either by not taking my time or not choosing a good color scheme...   I think the "teen boba" (CW mando repaint) that I did for the repaint challenge realy caused me to pay more attention to the fine details.  

That being said I still see flaws in this newest young boba repaint... the grey paint is rubbing at the joints and is rubbing off other places.  But I guess I'm my own worst critic!


My next project is to use this little boba to make a movie accurate boba with a set of removable mando armor that is more "movie-verse" accurate.  I like the litte removable set of armor that came with this figure but it's not a full breastplate and that looks weird to me.  I plan on cutting up an old classic boba figure and using it to make the armor as well as shoulder pads, and add gauntlets too.

I just realized that for some reason I posted one photo twice.  I had a photo of him with his helmet on and it realy completes the figure:



that's a hugh "DOH!" from me... my bad folks.
