Uh oh, Sideshow is getting into TESB Armored Forms. Does this look spectacular or what!
Boba Fett SSC Preview


They have the IG-88 too, but wow this one seems to be over the top.

All I can say is, it's about time!!!  I'll be ordering this one for sure as soon as they post the newsletter.  I wonder what the exclusive will be... Carbonite Han maybe?

I talked to a friend who knows A LOT about Fett (won't say his name unless he approves) and here is what he said regarding accuracy:


Cons:
- left gauntlet too short
- webley stock greeblies incorrect, (nice that they show the incorrect side in this pic right away) the center greeblie with the red surrounding needs to be bigger than the remaining two. and on the side they are showing, there are only 2 greeblies, 3 on the other side. so one greeblie too much on the side shown in the pic.
- leather string on the webley stock mounted incorrectly, was knotted on the prop at one end
- chrome tip on blaster not there, painted black
- flak vest color seems off, not sure about the stitching around the arm openings.
- jetpack beacon too long

pro: the helmet


This could be just a proto and the figure might be changed until mass production.

Me too. I got in on the exclusive version! Sweet, it will be my first Sideshow purchase. What a way to start.

It definitely is!  Not too thrilled at the $175 price tag on him though.  My first Sideshow piece was $59, and was the SDCC Exclusive Anakin/Vader from ROTS.  Sideshow's Polystone Dioramas are around $200 each.  And Affiliates no longer get a commission on the 12" figures?  I'm a glutton for wallet punishment, I guess.

Yeah, this one has me wondering whether I should make a purchase of ole Iggy too. I can't even imagine what seeing all of the Executor Bounty Hunters together would look like. I would think it would be the centerpiece of any TESB Collection.

If you haven't seen the picture presentation of the Boba I highly recommend it. I will be looking at it many times till this ships.

It has a hefty price tag, but is well worth it in my opinion. If the in hand version even looks half as good as the preview pictures I think it will be the epitome of this particular character.

Okay, um; any chance this fig comes with replaceable gaunlets, utility belt and jetpack? They could kill 2 Fetts with on stone by including his ROTJ armor as well.
