The weird finger hand is for when he spins the pistol into the holster in the show. He didn't actually do it in the repaint armor though, it was when he first got the armor back
Loving how they misspelled "recovered" over and over on the packaging. Really adds to that dollar store feel, just like having the marvel logo on Batman's back
I'm still surprised the Hasbro Vintage Collection is STILL the only Boba Fett action figure that's gotten the correct 'The Book of Boba Fett' outfit look and not the one from The Mandalorian season ll when his repaints the armor. The Book of Boba Fett suit is a black jumpsuit without the baggy pants and has a different color to the boots, plus the Helmet scratches have that ding over the visor like an eye scar.
@@RoboDontKnowI’m hoping they will announce an actual Black Series BoBF figure soon. They have Cad Bane, Krrsantan, and Din from that series, but not Boba himself for some reason. Just the Mando S2 repaint armor labeled at BoBF. It’s really strange. The vintage collection one is great, but I would love to see Black Series for it. Also, thanks for this review! The look and accessories of this guy are enough to convince me to buy it. I also have the SH Figuarts and Black Series, but this is the best looking one in my opinion.
I waited for this one but I think I'm happy with the figuarts (just cutted the skirt to make it show accurate) at least that one has better articulation at the arms, we don't talk about the unmasked head tho
I just received my AmiAmi payment request and had the same reaction. It's not the most exciting release given all of the other Bobas on my shelf. But as you say. It's a Mafex Boba. I can't say no.
Dang Robo... I've been waiting So Looooong for this one and it's... Kind of disappointing to me. First I've seen the Black Series, and it's short and dwarf and somehow out of shape like a creep. Then SHF came and woah, we were on right track, but some annoying errors in aspects and stuff, looking overall somehow dim... Okay, so I've picked up the Bandai Model Kit (2 times) and It's nice... Until there is no better one. Like Mafex I've hoped. So time goes and goes... I've just started to make a 1/12 scale Kit-bash scratch build with hand-sewn clothes and some BS+Model Kit parts, aiming for Hot Toys look. But MAFEX.... After so loooong time passed, how dare you... I'm pretty mixed with the feelings of it now. Hope any better solution comes in foreseen future? Not from them... Then who? 3rd parties are afraid of Disney and their lawsuits... Should I just keep making custom ones until I get desired mix? I dunno... Should I get it? With all those additional fees and 27% VAT? Here where you can't even really sell it?
I don't do Marvel legends & missed a few group reviews so feels like it's been an age since I saw you review a single Star Wars figure in depth, and this was just like days of old - Great review Robo
MAFEX Mando is my "expensive" (read: not Hasbro) version of Din Djarin, so I'll probably get this one to go with it, seeing as how I sold my Figuarts Boba with the throne.
Do you think the promotional images of the figure effectively reflects the physical product? I’m finding myself a bit miffed by the helmet’s appearance. My preorder should arrive next week so I won’t be able to properly form my opinions until then.
Medicom seems to be enlarging the scale of their figures I feel.. Mafex Stealth suit cap is definitely oversized and scales larger than the other avengers in the mafex line. Fits more in a legends display than it does an import 1/12th display
Medicom has always ran big in a lot of cases. Rey, Finn, the original Bobas for the most part. But then there's Shoretroopers, Death Troopers, and Mando that fit with Black Series and SHF. It's kinda all over.
I wanted to get this but the articulation & knees made me say I'll wait for a sell or into I caught up with everything I want first. I'm pretty happy with my figuarts boba's. I'm more interested in how the mafex bo-katan turns out because they beat tamashii to making one.
13:33 - Without knowing which was which, I looked at the lineup and thought the Boba on the far right looked the best just standing neutral. I normally love import stuff, but the Black Series has really been stepping up their game....
I'm like you Robo, the Black Series made me want this less. I cancelled my pre-order because I already had a huge order from AmiAmi, so it was an easy decision while waiting for reviews. Articulation on this guy is... fine but what I like is the simplicity to the accessories. SHF Mando scarred me, and I never even owned that figure! Wish Boba's size was better, though. I'm not a stickler for height but it's too off even for me. I might stick to the Black Series.
@@RoboDontKnow But that's how it starts, Robo..... quality control lapses and before you know it you'll be buying Booby Felt figures. Come to think of it.... 😎
I’m sorry but I’m a Boba Fett purest. Pre-special edition Boba Fett (with the Clint Eastwood voice). Think the Prequels and Disney did my boy dirty. IMO

I thought that as well. It also looks like it could be used for a ready to draw stance for a showdown.
It’s not the FennecShand-PleasureHand?
How y'know What and When he did with his mighty fingers out of screen? He had a great company of Mrs. Finnic!

There's a Bandai SH Figuarts figure of that look. Still crazy that Hasbro hasn't done one yet though. It's Boba Fett. In his best look.

Really, the tiny 3.75" variants are somehow better in shapes... I'ts just can't happen! O.o

that boba headsculpt looks so good, imagine if they make a rex or cody figure with headsculpt. dang that would be nice
Looks awesome and the accessories are great too. Love that head
I just received mine yesterday and sure enough, the visor broke off. So I just super glued it. Looks cool.
look awesome! i like the squareness, i would try to fix the shoulder thingy if i have it

I actually haven't gotten as much Star Wars lately, hopefully that changes soon!
MAFEX Mando is my "expensive" (read: not Hasbro) version of Din Djarin, so I'll probably get this one to go with it, seeing as how I sold my Figuarts Boba with the throne.
could just say import
Glad I have the shf version with the throne
Me too!
Curious why MAFEX didn't make Boba slightly shorter than Mando, what it came up with just seems odd.
Don't get bothered by that, Black Series one is a real dwarf and it's more annoying imo.
Great intro! Great video!
I've received mine today and I can say is an awesome figure, even with some minor flaws.
The paint job and sculpt details are sick.
Im gonna use this guy for a custom so seeing the range finder fall off wasn’t a dealbreaker
I may or may not have already taken it apart for a kitbash....

is fett sponcerd by a farming company?
Mafex's Boba Fett might be larger than in the show because he's a clone and canonically clones are 6 foot.

The real Boba Fett was 6’ tall. Bulloch was 4” taller than Morrison.
Cool!

Same. So much so that I've already started kitbashing it with the SHF to get the height down some.
Tbf, the newest SHF Boba Fett (not this look, the Daimyo look with the throne) is awesome. Accessories are far simpler and phenomenal
True, that's one of my favorites, both figure and overall look.
Spelling mistake on the box... Recoverd.... oh dear.
Meh. Gimme toy.

Heh, it can be in a plastic bag with "ackshun phigyer" sharpied on it and I'd be okay.
Dad-bodafett
Love it
Pound for pound I think I far prefer the Black Series.
I have Mandalorian Mafex 2.0 which you also reviewed and we all know is the best there is. So, this one is not up to those high standards, i’ll pass 😅
Why not have all
Was that popeye?
My wife tells me same no small parts
Almost pulled the trigger on this guy. Think I'm gonna pass. Good review Robo.
Yeah…definitely glad I passed on this one.
I’m sorry but I’m a Boba Fett purest. Pre-special edition Boba Fett (with the Clint Eastwood voice).
Think the Prequels and Disney did my boy dirty. IMO
No need to apologize to me.
