hey guys we have supersorrell thank you very much
it's the brand new droids boba fett
this is part of lucasfilm's 50th anniversary line and from the droids television series
which ran around 1983 according to the timeline on the back of the packaging
this is probably um like one of the most i don't know it's one of those one of the one of the most
anticipated of the boba fetts for me just because this is how he looked in or similar to this in the
christmas um holiday special obviously yes we saw him in the cartoon looking like this but he was
also in the you know the christmas special and he looked like this which is kind of like boba
fett's first appearance and it was the adventures of r2d2 and c3po the star wars droids television
series that ran in 1983 that this one's based upon it's in the box like the comic book ones i'm not
quite sure why because it's not a comic book version but they've given it the box treatment
just to give it that really retro look i suppose
there he is in the packaging he does have a little right up here on the side which states
with his customized mandalorian armor deadly weaponry and silent demeanor boba fett was one
of the most feared bounty hunters in the gal in the galaxy awesome figure i got this delivered
not that long ago from uh kapow toys so thank you very much caparov for hooking us up with
this awesome action figure right guys let's get straight in and bust this bad guy out of the
packaging because i am excited to have a new boba fett to play with all right guys here is boba fett
out of the packaging on the desk cam and yes this is the old mold of boba fett i'm afraid to say
a lot of people have been asking it is based on the old boba fett it's based on this boba fett
because the visor's the same it won't pop down obviously you've got the jet pack that
pops on and the big long cape at the back it's identical to this version so this is basically a
fancy glorified repaint of that one just with less damage on it like this has got a lot more of the
damage effects which are still prevalent in the armor as you can see there's the holes
are still there they're just not painted and obviously all the scuff marks things
haven't been painted on so it looks cleaner but inevitably it is still the same figure just redone
so we do get the jet pack so we can pop that in i love this orange cake by the way the orange
cape is totally different i like that look um so let's go ahead and pop that in there
again does this top part come off
no the top part doesn't pop off like it does on some of the newer ones to make
it look like he's fired the black the um the rocket and like say the visor part doesn't
pop down that's just fixed in place uh there is no head under here as well it's just this
um it's just the actual thing same as same as this one again there's no head sculpt under there
i was hoping for an updated head sculpt underneath but that could have stolen but no
we're not that lucky and so yeah the figure itself though let's have a look articulation heads on a
ball joint you can look up down with a little bit of pivot in there i'll lift out to the side
and do rotate there's rotation in the forearm that bends as well hands are on a ball joint and we can
crunch him around a little bit and backwards and forwards legs lift out to the side there is a top
thigh cut there quite stiff double hinged knees on this one and the feet are on rocker and pivot and
there are display peg holes should you wish to use a display base not that you're gonna need to i've
never had issues standing these figures before um sometimes over time they do go loose but that's
about it i've still never i've always managed to find a happy medium to get them to stand
and i'm saying that now as i'm on camera trying to understand there's not
there we go it does come with two weapons um just like the previous one so he has got his
blaster gun his little side pistol and he comes with a fully working holster over here that we
can slide that into so there we go so we can have him like a western cowboy with his hand
hovering over it if i can get this arm to bend there we go i like that kind of he's got a draw
old western style and then we've got his um his actual rifle as well all solid grey when
they leave them solid gray like this to me it just looks unfinished like the wood like this should be
like this on here should be the lights the wood stock part and it just makes it look like it's
going fresh off a 3d printer and nobody's bothered to paint it that's the feel i get annoys me
i mean i love the figure i love the idea and the concept but i don't know feels unfinished
when they do things like that and again i've not seen the the actual cartoon this is based upon
i've never actually sat and watched um or i haven't since i was a child let's say
i may i probably watched it a little bit when i was a kid i remember ewoks i'm trying to think i'm
pretty sure i would have watched droids at some point in my life i would have seen it somewhere
in my cousin's house my cousin was massively into star wars and my uncle was massively into
star wars so i am pretty sure i would have seen it at some point bro yeah maybe the gun is grey
in the cartoon that's why they've left it that way but yeah to me it just looks like a prototype that
isn't finished because you know that prototypes of figures are always like mismatched colours
that's the feel i kind of get from this
but popping him side by side with his uh oh his other boba fett from the series
it's cool to have this version um i wish he came with his big um in the car
in the in the christmas especially had like a big other weapon didn't he like his big rifle thing we
started to come with him as well maybe they'll do the actual holiday special one later down the line
which again will just be a similar version to this just slightly different
in the crew in a christmas box i wouldn't i wouldn't put it past them doing that especially
now that like star wars like the we can laugh about the holiday special now it's kind of
it's not as cringy as it once was and we all kind of laugh about it
so i think it's like more forgivable now so i could see them releasing some merch for it but
we'll see what happens i know lucasfilm wanted to pretend that thing doesn't exist forever
but either way it's a decent figure and definitely going to be on the shelf
i already have a boba on my shelf i have on my shelf i have the um
the cat the carbonized boba and i don't actually display this version so i'm going to pop this
to the side and this guy will be taking um a spot on my shelf uh he definitely deserves it
he's an awesome looking prototype boba early days boba fett should we say from the droids cartoon
