Personal Observations
Boba Fett is the first 5POA figure that we get from The Empire Strikes Back. Yay! This notorious bounty hunter looks pretty good and has a lot of paint detail, but possibly could have used a bit more. There isn't much paint on his jetpack, but it doesn't bother me too much. I was a bit surprised that Boba's helmet isn't the same sculpt as Jango's, who came out a wave earlier in the Mission Series. This figure's helmet shape is noticeably different, but still good. Boba Fett stands well with or without his jetpack, and also sits nicely with just a bit of a lean. I don't have Boba Fett's Slave 1 ship, but I'm guessing that he should be able to fit in the pilot's chair with ease. Sure to be a favourite among kids and collectors, Boba Fett is a fantastic first Episode V figure in the 5POA line. Update: I've noticed that there is a slight variation in the Digital Release Commemorative Collection figure. In the picture above that shows two of this figure, you can see that the dart on his left gauntlet is green on the 2013 Saga Legends version, but is painted black and bronze on the Digital Release figure. Nice upgrade! |
