I’ve been visiting your blog for a while now and I always find a gem in your new posts. Thanks for sharing.
I haven’t seen the real thing yet, just the pictures in your gallery, but I can already say I love this figure. Great level of detail.
HEY BOBA FETT! Be mine! Im your best fan ever!!!!!!!!!!
u guys r da best evaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
i love u guys
this is the best thing eva
Shad, I don’t think anyone can get the antenna to stay up without some help! Try inserting a tiny piece of paper though the back so you you can’t see it. It works great because it doesn’t take much. I can’t see it, even up close. This Fett is almost too real, can’t stop staring at it!
Can anyone get their antennae piece to stay upright??!?!?!?!?!?
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, totaly Awesome, I must get that, The helmet show the helmet.
Looks great, but the neck is way to long!
Just bought this to add to my Boba Fett collection…well okay its more of a shrine really. This may rival some of my other figures in detail. If it looks anything like the picture I will be impressed.
I hate to say it, but the design of the skull insignia on the Mandalorian artifact is wrong. This incorrect version of the skull has been circulating online in one form or another for years. However, in every official Boba picture or product from Lucasfilm, the skull looks just like the one on his left shoulder. They are significantly different! I’ve emailed Sideshow about this but received no response. I hope this will be addressed before the release of this product!
PLEASE CHANGE THOSE LEGS!!!!!!!!!!!! HE never had to stand like that in the movies!!!!!! He’s supposed to be at total ease – he’s the badass old west gunfighter, not a guy with 600 pounds on his back.
I sent an e-mail concerning the discrepencies. The reply I received was that they work closely with Lucasfilm who approved this version.I’m here to tell you it’s wrong. It looks like it’s the ROTJ version your after. But here is why it’s not right:
1. The jumpsuit is too dark. This is the ESB version of the jumpsuit. The ROTJ version is much lighter and a different material.
2. The neck seal and vest should be the same color, but not this material. More of a shiny, slick material.
3. The helmet has the ESB color stripes of yellow. They should be red for ROTJ. The ear caps should be silver on both sides, not gold.
4. The rifle should have a more rustic color.
5. The pads on the gloves should not be the same color as the gloves. They should be different enough that they are separate.
6.The boots have a off red or darker tone on the elastic sides and front which is wrong.
7. The top left knee dart on the left knee armor should have a red stripe before the first plateau.
8. The left gauntlet has incorrect fuel hoses. And the top hose should be connected to that top portion, not under it. The hole for the air cord on the sode of the gauntlet is closed off. How does it should out? There should be an opening and a tube.
9. Lastly the concave of the front of the helmet is too tight. It should angle out, not wrap around the face.
I hope for a $300+ item they will get these details right for the diehard Fett fans.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!
Now how about a 12 inch?
Just pre-ordered Boba Fett. This is the first Premium format figure that I have ever bought.
Pleeeeease make this version of Boba in 12″ form. The only decent 12″ Boba figure is the old Marmit ESB Boba Fett and even that one isn’t film accurate. Sideshow should make a ROTJ 12″ version of Boba in their Scum and Villainy line with the same accuracy as this PF figure.
Made sure I ordered mine… but I must say that the exclusive “mandelorian artefact” is a little ordinary… and no electronics? A red glowing chest readout would have been nice, but instead there is a hole where at least something should have been placed… fill in the gap and paint it black with some red lettering if you can do anything…
Have to agree with Steve Jackson….what’s with the “about to FALL FORWARD stance?” Also, the NECK looks a little long. Saying that, the detail is SUPERB and I have already ordered one.
The stance is a little strange. Hmmm, I hope SSc sort that out.
Awesome!!!! Boba Fett has gone on sale tonight!!!!! This is just toooooo Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!
Must…
Have…
Fett…
Tonight…
This figure looks so amazing!!!! I am going to have to get one!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting the whole time for this. We all know the other companies that made him in a statue format. But I was never statisfied with the art work. SS is amazing and I can’t wait to get my hands on this boba fett. SS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING A PROFESSIONAL FETT. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOMSE!!!! I have the Vader and Obi 1/4 scale models. But this one will be without a doubt my Jem, sitting right next to my boba blaster and helm from MR
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
I prefer Jango Fett.
WOW! Amazing!
I cant wait to add this fine Boba Fett to my Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Statues in my high end collectibles room.
Great work! Can’t wait to place my order…
VaderPainter
Excited as hell! Would it be possible to make a limited figure that displays his first appearance in episode V, I thought his rifle in that movie was so much cooler than the VI version. Also, I like the subtle colour scheme better in EMPIRE than the JEDI varient as well, but I’m happy with whatever they give us, finally a Boba Fett figure!!
boba fett sucks….when will SS make characters that really matter like yoda or may main man JAR JAR BINKS
Stormtrooper next PLEASE!!!Keep up the good work
Oh heck yeah!! I think I’m going to need more than one of these. One for the movie home theater and one for the office.
Will definately be buying this to go with all my others! All I want now is the mighty Chewbacca and I’ll be a happy man.
YYYEEESSS!!! Finally my wait is over. Helmets off to Sideshow. Now if we could get a Darth Vader with removable helmet!
At last I will have Boba Fett…!!!!
I bow before the side show!!! Now….how about INDIANA JONES in a premium size??? hmm…
for all you fans that are nit-picking the colour shceme i hope you place your orders last
just ordered the premium t-800 now we just need a premium maul, r2, and 3-po
great job sideshow
Will this item be an ‘Inclusive’? I’m sure everyone and their brother will want one. Including all the losers that couldn’t be at the right place at the right time. Everyone except resellers. There’s going to be about 10,000 of these.
OHHHH yea!!!! boba fett! done right!!! cant wait sideshow!!!thanks!!! Pod racerx
Oluf is awesome!!!! this will be a FANTASTIC one!
Well I guess I will have to get another job just to pay for my sideshow addiction.
Demand for this will be high.
As with any future Star Wars item
please make it an INCLUSIVE EDITION.
In a word – FANTASTIC
I cant afford him…. but Ill be getting him!!!!!
…SS: you burn my VISA!! …but THANKS!
I can only imagine what the whole figure looks like, incredible job! Can’t get enough Fett!
This is gonna be awesome! Fett will definitely be the third addition to my Star Wars PF family, Sideshow rocks!!
Outstanding!!!
Hey Knight, what 12-inch Boba did you get, was it a statue or figure? I have the OTC re-issue 12-inch Boba which was done pretty nicely considering it was made by hasbro, but I can’t wait to get SS’s 12-inch version. Unfortunately, I don’t know if I will be able to afford the PF Boba.
I was wondering if a Han in carbonite PF would be the right scale to go along with the 12-inch line. Does anybody have any thoughts on the matter? personally I would love to see a carbonite block in scale to the 12-inchers.
I guess I’m going to be mostly alone in saying that I got a great 12 inch Boba Fett not too long ago, so this will be a pass for me. This is going to have to be one hell of an upgrade in order for me to want to buy another for twice the price.
What else can be said other than:
IMPRESSIVE. MOST IMPRESSIVE.
I agree with the sarlacc tenticle…the solo is carbonite would be ggreat, but bigger than the boba fett itself!!! I have to say, this will be my first PF figure.cant wait!!
At last a boba feet it going to be great what am i saying fantasic
The exclusive item for the Fett PF should be a Sarlacc tentacle, reaching up to grab him from a fleshy base of its own, now that would rock!!! Anybody agree?
holy crap
holy crap
holy crap
holy crap
holy crap
looks like he is going to be cool. so glad you did boba, i know there have been many,many, MANY people asking for this one!
Oh, for the love of….. Great. Thanks! Now I guess I don’t need to eat for *ANOTHER* month…. :^)
Seriously…. YEAH! Now gimme my Stormtroopers!!
Dave
He is not good to me for Pre-Order I want him NOW
Boba Fett looks SWEET Sideshow, GREAT JOB!! Hope to see it at Comic Con
hehe
Man that is AWSOME…may be my first PF figure.
As to the exclusives…Han in carbonite…too big.
How’s this? ROTJ regular edition…exclusive ESB colors and blaster!
You’ve go my vote SS…now make my wishes come true!
Hey…that looks just like the Boba Fett that was on the pics from this past Toy Fair!!!
Does anyone know rougly how long it takes for these to go up for pre-order once they have been announced?
My wallet is weeping, but my heart is jumping…!
Looking forward to this big time! Everything comes to those who wait.
PLEASE STAY WITH THE ROTJ COLOR SCHEME AND ARMOUR – NOT THE DULL ESB VERSION. ROTJ is how Fett is remembered; even the Special Edition inclusions were the ROTJ design. You are the premier collectibles manufacturer in the world! Thank you.
I could cry.
Though, they do need to fix the fuel lines.
For they giant chunk of money this baby’ll cost,
they better be perfect!
Wow!!Thank you sideshow
YES, SS, PLEASE do not do any more exclusives. Inclusives only! Esp. on this one.
And, I can only imagine the price. Demand is already so high
and from the Maul inclusive, we can see SS has no intentions of dropping prices, despite selling 6x as many. Sigh.
SS, just PLEASE bear in mind, we all want to buy the stuff, but, we are working class people, who pay way too much as it is. I’m already drawing up the legal documents, signing over my paychecks to SS for the next 27.6 years to pay for my current pre-orders. LOL.
WOW!!!
i LOVE YOU GUYS!FETT RULES!!!!i CAN’T WAIT TO OWN THIS FIGURE.i JUST HOPE HE IS INCLUSIVE,IF HE ISN’T IT WILL BE INSANE ON ORDERING DAY.
This is gonna be one of the best premium format figures out. I have a General Grievous Exclusive and can’t wait to add Boba Fett to my collection.
Any chance it will have a removable helmet for the exclusive?
man,i want to buy this badboy but i am affraid i will hate myself 4 doing it. do you think it will cost more than 250.00? and are these prem figgs worth all the hype? help
Take me to the dark side. that’s all I’ll see when I open my wallet after buying this bad boy.
PLEASE, PLEASE BE INCLUSIVE! I really don’t want to miss out or be placed on another waiting list….I want to get what I want…like the rest of the public!
This statue looks awesome so far. I can’t wait for the pre-order. Nice work SS!
Just look at the gloves! Look at the gloves!!
As ever,
Mr Crispin Glover
Hmmm, I must go change my pants !!
HELL YEAH!
this is the worst piece i have ever seen!!!
I bet I know what the exclusive piece will be!! How about the carbon-frozen Han Solo! Too large for an exclusive? What does everyone else think?
darn, for a second i thought that was the 12″ figure! i was excited until i found out it’s the PF version
hope it will be an inclusive edition. i really don’t want to miss out on this.
Oh Yeah Boyeeee! This is THE one I have been waiting for. The preview already looks awesome. Can’t wait, but I shall need to arrange for an overdraft.
Jeeez, I havent even recieved the first figure I reserved
are you guys for real?
R
will work for PF Fett
my poor wallet….
This is going to be amazing, but I will wait for the 1/6 version.
YES!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED I NEED I NEED!!!!!
In the words of Homer Simpson: WOO HOO!
I can’t wait to get my grubby mits on this premium format figure!
Of course I will buy, but my feeling is Lurtz PF will kick his Boba’s jetpack!!
Finally! Boba Fett officially rules the Star Wars universe!
This figure should be nothing short of absolutely SWEET! I have to agree though with one of the othe posts below; how about a bonus Han in Carbonite to go with?
about f*ck$ng time…exclusive…transferrable head…most likely.
This is excellent news. I may well have to cancel several 12″ pre-orders to help pay for it but Boba Fett will definitely be my first PF figure. It’s good to see the ROTJ color scheme is being done for a change as most Fett figs go for the ESB version. Aside from a severed blaster rifle I’ve no idea what could be included as an exclusive but to be honest I’m not really bothered,I’m just excited to see more pics!!.
This is the best one yet! Love it! Want it! Gotta have it! Can’t wait for pre-ordering, bring it on! Gotta love the Scum and Villainy. You outdid yourselves this time.
Looks pretty good!
YEEESSSS!!! *Falls to the ground and does a “Curly” from Three Stooges*
ooh No! My old Boba Fett from Marmit will be very sad with this new guy on the market
Scum and Villainy! Just bring forth the 1/4 scale Jabba the Hutt and let’s really start this party! Oh my, I just did a rough calculation in my head of the retail on such a figure. But seriuously, how about a Rancor Beast too? Am I loosing my marbles? You bet! But this Boba Fett made my jaw hit the floor and I’m in a state of delirium trying to comprehend what the ROCKET PACK is going to look like!!! And are we going to have a removeable helmet? Jango clone underneath? Please, let me see more details!!!!! I love you SS. Love. Deeply. My wallet hates you. Ok, I’m going now.
This was #1 on my PF figure wish list! Thanks Sideshow!!! Your work on Star Wars items has been top notch. Please let this one be your first Inclusive edition PF figure. Other wise your server will explode again. Everyone will want this one. It looks FANtastic! If there is an extra item for the exclusive or inclusive version, does anyone have an idea what it would be? Someone already said Carbonite Han. That would be Awesome and one of the only things I can really think of Besides a cut in half blaster. (Thanks to Jedi Luke) But like he also pointed out Carbonite Han might be too large and expensive. Any other ideas out there??
My question is what will be the Inclusive item with this? A Han Solo in Carbonite would be great!
I’ve got it!
Sideshow Exclusive…
HAN SOLO IN CARBONITE BONUS!!!
My guess is they may do an Inclusive Edition on this one due to the obvious high demand.
Very tantalizing teaser. Okay, I wonder just how fast this one is going to sell out?
SS continues to release amazing PF figures that, in my opinion, make Attakus and Gentle Giant look like amateurs. SS continues to deliver! I’ve already sold most of my Attakus collection. This, however, is one collection I will never give up. Continue the ESB theme and bring us Lando next!
I’m with you outrider, holding out for JANGO!!!
OMG! YESSSSSSSSSS! Now I’m glad I didn’t buy Gentle Gian’ts statue! I have the Vader and Grievous Premium Formats and let me tell you, they blow away anything else out there! Didn’t get the Luke/Yoda combo, that was just lame. Now you should do a Premium Format Commander Cody!
This will be the hottest PF Statue ever….he’ll look great next to the PF Vader.
About time, SS!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice indeed. My only issue is that this version seems to be in the suit he wore in Return of the Jedi. This is only my opinion but I think he’s suit (and rifle)from Empire was a little cooler. Still this is a must!
BOBA! BOBA!
Can’t wait to see more of this one…
THREE WORDS: OFF THE CHAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
frelling awesome sideshow does it again this is going to be the hotest figuer this year i hope i can get my hands on an exclusive this time around
keep them coming guys
cheers…
tk1565
Please be an all inclusive pre-order… please please please. When you are in Australia you need a decent chance to get your hands on a piece of art like this!!!!
cant wait to see the statue and will there be an exclusive line
Come on.. give us the pics!! We cant stand it!!!
This may just be my first 1/4 scale purchase…incredible!
Lord knows I’m not gonna be able to afford this…I just can’t seem to convince anyone that this is more important than college
I owe you my life and my first born sideshow. this is the most righteous and awesome thing, since I lost my virginaty. MUAH lots of wet kisses from every STAR WARS FAN and BOBA FETT LOVER…Cant wait until i get mine.
I m not into Star Wars as much as some of you but i ll be getting this.Boba Fetts outfit was superb.
woah, one of the most favored star wars bad guy gets premium. sideshow sure knows how to make their sales.
While the tease looks great, my only question is….does this mean we won’t see a regular 12″ figure of him now? I thought I read aorund here that figures that were getting the premium treatment would not be repeated in the other scale…
If that’s the case…it looks like I may be getting my first premium figure soon….
HOLY COW THATS HOT.Thank You SideShow for Finally putting out a Boba Fett piece.
Thats what makes sideshow the best, you ask us what we want then you make it, Thankyou, can i have a stormtrooper next please.
TGIF !!!!! Thank God It’s FETT !!!
Thank you sideshow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know he is gonna ROCK!!!!!!
Ooooooh here we go, I soooooo want one, but can’t afford it, aarrggghhh. I am going to have to beg hubby, and I guarantee the answer will be nooooooo, lol….
This will be the first premium format figure that I buy.
Overall the best Fett to date. Some issues with the jumpsuit color for the ROTJ version as well some greeblies on the rifle and armor. Need to see which helmet is used for this ROTJ version(film or SE).
“He’s worth a lot to me!”
Is it too much to hope that his daddy Jango will be joining him in the near future? This dynamic dude will make his way to my shelf for certain.
Finally thats all I have to say. Thank you Sideshow a tear drops from my eye.
I’m so in love!!!!! And now know I will be so poor as this will be the one to bring me over to PF!
Yes, I will grovel, beg and steal to get Boba Fett!
By the way, please make Boba Fett an inclusive order as opposed to the old pre-order system. Don’t put us in the meat grinder! Thanks Sideshow!
I have only one thing to say. “I can die in peace now!”
I need to see more!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH SIDESHOW. I CAN’T WAIT TO ADD THIS BAD BOY TO MY COLLECTION!!! YES!
Perfect Fett.
Knowing he will come, eventually, is one thing; but KNOWING HE IS COMING is FANTASTIC! (and if that is not a movie picture, would you look at the DETAIL! Awesome!)
i hope its the empire paint scheme backpack, and not the multi colored rotj version.
now, whats the exclusive this will come with???? han in carbonite?? nah, that’d add another 300 bucs to the price!
Suh-weeeet! Whatever you do, DO NOT put this bad boy up for pre-order during Comic Con (tough to place online orders when you’re wandering the convention floor with several thousands of your pals). Make him available to everyone who wants the deadly little rascal…
Great choice Sideshow!, I completely agree that THIS will be the definite Boba Fett statue, a must for any bounty hunter collection!
No words can describe the emotions…tears in my eyes…can’t talk now…….thank you SS…..!
I really want to get this, but I just can’t afford to get all the 12-inch figs & the PF ones as well. I think I would only get a PF if it was an in-scale Jabba to go along with the 12-inch line. I wish I could afford to get just this 1 PF, because Boba became my favorite when I was 11 years old back when “Empire” first came out.
Wow. How many inches tall will that be then? That is going to rock. It shall be mine….depending on the price.
Oh, man. I’ll never pay off my credit card!!!
YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you, YES!!!!thank you,
I guess we all know what link we’ll be hitting first on the next newsletter
Guess I wont be eating for a few months.
yooooo-hoooo where do i sign up..=)
“This is gonna cost me…”
This promises to be the ultimate Boba Fett figure up to date! Can’t wait to see the rest of this awesome piece! Highly detailed, masterly painted, as far as I can tell from this preview! Show us more, soon!
nice, but im gonna pass on this guy unless sideshow wants to be nice and give me one for free. i will work for collectibles.
SS RULES!!!
Beautiful so far. Can’t wait to see the rest. Thank you SS!!
Hell Yeah, Boba Fett.
YES!!!!! You guys rule!!!!!
At long last, my dream has come true. Amazing! I can’t wait, just make the pre-order tomorrow and get it over with. Simply awesome!!
TomandShell is going to be SOOOO Happy!
