This Boba Fett Action Figure‘s size design is also 1/6 scale commonly used by Hot Toys, and the overall height is approx. 30cm. And there are as many as 30 points of articulation, which allows you to display this action figure into many poses.
The styling design of this Boba Fett action figure faithfully recreates the character settings in the movie.
Especially the costumes are very particular and strive to be consistent with the costumes in the movie.
A one-piece gray space suit, whether it is material texture and cloth pattern, is all based on the original movie costume style, which makes it more realistic.
The upper sleeves and leg parts of the spacesuit have also been treated with stains. It reflects that Boba Fett, as a bounty hunter, constantly fought in various bad environments.
Boba Fett’s Mandalorian helmet and armor are all dark green as the main tone. There are various dents and abrasion scratches on the surface with special distress effect treatment.
It gives the audience a visual impact and shows the unique temperament of this bounty hunter.
In addition, some small costume accessories are also particularly eye-catching, such as the unique articulated rangefinder on the helmet, the leather-like brown belt with pouches, the green gauntlets with rocket ejector and rope launcher, and the beige and brown braids on the right shoulder, all make Boba Fett’s character image much fuller.
Boba Fett’s legs have a pair of yellow knee guards, and the knee guards are also concealed with rocket dart launchers. The brown boots also have metal sharp points, which increase the lethality of the boots to a certain extent.
In addition, the pockets of the trouser are filled with weapon accessories, including a survival knife, a sonic beam weapon, an anti-security blade, and a jetpack adjustment tool.
At the same time, this Boba Fett action figure is also equipped with a yellow cape and a green jetpack on his back. According to Hot Toys’ introduction, the jetpack has a built-in magnet that can be easily attached to the back of this action figure.
