The fact that Black Series is even comparable to these higher-end lines says so much about the Boba! If they cost 3, 4, 5 times as much, they should be 3, 4, 5 times better in every way. -Justin
Mafex all the way. They nailed the helmet. The only beef with it is it’s fragile. A shelf dive can easily snap the rocket or something else. Hasbro would be a good alternative for the $ but needs weathering and a dull coat. That SH is one of their worst SW figs imo.
The mafex looks really good but I prefer the black series mainly because I prefer the accsesories he comes with. And with some weathering the black series boba really shines imo
Been loving your recent uploads! I think it’d be awesome to see a wishlist video of black series figures you’d like to see come out, maybe showcase some customs? I’ve been curating a list of my own and would be curious to see yours and others
I have all three, and currently I am using the Mafex Boba for my main Star Wars display, but I have a shelf of miscellaneous figures and I think the more cartoony look of the SH Figuarts Boba works well there. I have him next to Lupin III and Link from the Legend of Zelda and he blends right in.
Hello Luke a good comparison video of Bobas. I've never been a Boba fan myself so I say the one you like best is the best choice. I do have to say the custom work on the black series Boba looks really good 👍. Your shelves look great, I'm sure you would like to have more room. I know I'd like to have more display space. Thanks again for sharing this video with us and take care, Tom
The pants on the mafex are more of slim fit and I would say the jumpsuit is too dark but the detail and sculpt is really impressive. I got the empire strikes back when it originally released and its still one my favorite figures on my shelf, there's a lot of subtly you can get posing it.
The point is they dont cost the same amount, the other two are like 3x the price of the black series and if your giving them a max price of $70 then you can buy the black series a new cape and paint to dirty him up all for about $55 which is still less then the other two. Obviously price isnt a factor for you but if anyone was watching this video to see which one the should buy they should know that the black series is a cheaper option and all your gonna really miss out on is some extra hands you will never use and gain extra fire effects you might use because they are bad ass
True but I did end up buying the mafex version for around $45 around 3 years ago before the re-release so going by the original msrp, mafex definitely wins
@@epidemic1207 LUCKY, i wish i had the mafex version. i was just saying you cant really compare them given the price differences. like comparing a new tesla to a 2013 ford
They are all nice, but honestly I prefer the Black Series Boba. He looks the best, has a bit of substance. I know that the original Boba in the movies was rather skinny, but this one is more believable as we nowadays know what he develops into - a rather compact, built and ripped guy (well, just like his dad). I also prefer the slighty sandy undertone of his flightsuit to the pure grey of the other two.
I heard about you from Lukenessmonster had to sub but do you recommend fixing the boba fett helmet since it gets squished and if so is there a better way to fix it then the hair dryer
First off I love how u get straight to the point .everything u said was dead on thank u. I have th s.h an the helmet is to small an the suit feels like he just started wearing it. Anyways your video made me pull the trigger on the mafex...I paid 80$ even to be sent to my door. What do u think of that price??? 🤔 thank u
Hello! Great video by the way. I was picking up the first also. We see the same things overall. Did you print yourself your feet support and thoses black hexagone on your shelves ?!?
Where did you get the figure stands, for the Boba's? Also, I really like the black series one. All the additionals really wins me over, due to pic posing. But yeah, for just standing there, for a display? Yeah, totally Mafex.
The Mafex is still my favorite. Hands down. I always found the figuarts helmet too small. One of the few I gave a miss. I do also have the Black Series, but my Mafex is my fav.
Hey can there speeder luke can you make a weathering tutorial for black series boba i really liked the outcome of ur weathered bs boba it looks better than mafex or shf
Mafex for the win, no question about it. I have the Mafex and Hasbro, had zero interest in Figuarts as it just didnt look good (which is odd, I usually LOVE Figuarts but the ROJ Boba and Mando’s are just not very well proportioned). Although most of my favorite figures are Figuarts (especially for giving us excellent figures that Hasbro screwed all to hades like R2, IG11, etc), Mafex absolutely wins for Boba Fett from the OT, and Mando from Season 2. In general, Mafex rocks for helmeted figures, Figuarts rocks for human likenesses and Droids, and Hasbro does pretty good on Aliens. What is annoying is that Hasbro *can* knock it out of the park if they only try (which I assume means assign the sculptors who do the best figures and stop using the ones who cant get likenesses, proportions and scale even close!). Some Hasbro figures are nearly as good as Figuarts for a fraction of the price! Mace Windu, Phantom Menace Obi Wan, Qui Gon (new likeness), those are almost equal to the Figuarts if not better, Count Dooku is better than Figuarts IMO! But then you see figures that are inexcusably bad like R2 and thus every Astromech Hasbro does is the wrong scale, wrong proportions, etc where Figuarts R2 is a work of art and looks like a miniature move droid! Similarly, IG-11 is just awful from Hasbro, and tiny, underscaled, lame and floppy mess whereas Figuarts IG-11 is AMAZING! Mafex was supposed to an IG-11 which Ive had on preorder over a year. Dang, didnt mean to go on and on!
Yeah Mafex for the win with that character, Hasbro did a pretty good work on it, have to give them credit for that, but the Mafex, just looks like is out from the movie, im waiting for mine, my seller just told me today that provider is sending this days.
The huge issue with the BS is the knee hinge is too low on the leg. The more you bend the legs, the weirder it looks, because the bend point happens on the upper calf, rather that where the knee actually is. It really limits the action poses. Unfortunately they did the same thing on the deathwatch mando. I do not know how they keep making that mistake. They did just fine on Bo and Koska's knee joints. It's a huge showstopper for me with the BS Fett. I might even have chosen the BS if it weren't for that huge design and engineering mistake.
Mafex is still KING for Boba. Most screen accurate with not only the helmet & res of the armor, but the physique of the Jeremy Bulloch, who did have skinny legs. The black series look like a stalkier cosplayer of the Mafex. 😆 I do appreciate the playability of the hasbro though. Thanks for another great vid.
Honestly black series for the colors the undersuit is more accurate to the movie I prefer the helmet on the mafex but you can fix that with a hair dryer BUTTTT mafex empire strikes back boba top tier😂😂😂
I’ve owned all three. I actually returned the Figuarts though. It frustrated me. Posing and even just standing him normal was a pain, pieces would fall off and he’s definitely undersized. Almost petite like a female figure. He’s also too clean and looks like he’s wearing sweat pants. Even though the BS figure is really good, the Mafex goes above and beyond with paint and detail. It’s the definitive 6” Boba Fett. I don’t think it’ll ever be topped.
I think the Black Series has better body proportions, the SHF has the most accurate EE3 rifle & Mafex has the best helmet. There's one issue that people tend to overlook & it relates to Temuera Morrison's height where he's shorter than Jeremy Bulloch in the OG so if we're going with the PT scale & canon the SHF is accurate when it comes to height.
In person it's actually not .trust me .also the helmet bieng small is the biggest issue .again in person does look a little better. Mafex does look better though.
Your collection looks superb, The original trilogy set up with Jabba in the center is wonderful.
The fact that Black Series is even comparable to these higher-end lines says so much about the Boba! If they cost 3, 4, 5 times as much, they should be 3, 4, 5 times better in every way. -Justin
Agreed!
Mafex all the way. They nailed the helmet. The only beef with it is it’s fragile. A shelf dive can easily snap the rocket or something else.
Hasbro would be a good alternative for the $ but needs weathering and a dull coat. That SH is one of their worst SW figs imo.
The mafex looks really good but I prefer the black series mainly because I prefer the accsesories he comes with. And with some weathering the black series boba really shines imo
still black series for me, i like the lighter suit colors, plus he is accurately scale i think
1 area that the SHF Bobas seem to have badly messed up on is the proportions of the rifle. The buttstock is so long that Boba can't shoulder it.
Mafex looks good, but those toothpick legs. 😂. I'm happy with the Black Series Boba. 👍
Been loving your recent uploads! I think it’d be awesome to see a wishlist video of black series figures you’d like to see come out, maybe showcase some customs? I’ve been curating a list of my own and would be curious to see yours and others
Love your videos. Keep em coming
Man, I really love the Mafex one, but I'd hate to shove a random Mafex figure amongst all my Star Wars Figuarts lol
Really love how Mafex Boba looks. I’d love to recolor some but that would be quite an expensive endeavour
Personally the black series was already the best one and I love that beautiful weathering you did
I have all three, and currently I am using the Mafex Boba for my main Star Wars display, but I have a shelf of miscellaneous figures and I think the more cartoony look of the SH Figuarts Boba works well there. I have him next to Lupin III and Link from the Legend of Zelda and he blends right in.

Dude love the channel bro.
The pants on the mafex are more of slim fit and I would say the jumpsuit is too dark but the detail and sculpt is really impressive. I got the empire strikes back when it originally released and its still one my favorite figures on my shelf, there's a lot of subtly you can get posing it.
I just got the Black Series reissue on the retro card for $5, and man its just so good.
When’s the next shelf series coming out it’s been a month
Bro I gotta keep this channel going for years I’m halfway done with the movies already 😭😭
Lol but soon 😂
Yeah true, I’m used to watching channels that are like 5 years old😂
I just got my ESB & ROTJ Boba Fett today. Its really one of the most amazing figures I currently own.
I like the way the magic looks but I own the BS which is also amazing. Great video
The point is they dont cost the same amount, the other two are like 3x the price of the black series and if your giving them a max price of $70 then you can buy the black series a new cape and paint to dirty him up all for about $55 which is still less then the other two.

Totally agree man, that mafex one is amazing. The helmet is definitely best I think. Cool vid Luke cheers. 😎👍
If Black series had toe hinge it would be perfect, love the flame accessories on him. Mafex boba is coming this week for me too! Mando vid next?
Another great video! Thank you so much for sharing. Quick question: where do you get your display shelf lights from?
amzn.to/3g56oXI
Mafex is just art
They are all nice, but honestly I prefer the Black Series Boba. He looks the best, has a bit of substance. I know that the original Boba in the movies was rather skinny, but this one is more believable as we nowadays know what he develops into - a rather compact, built and ripped guy (well, just like his dad). I also prefer the slighty sandy undertone of his flightsuit to the pure grey of the other two.
I like this type of video. Any more planned? Maybe BS versus SHF's B1 Battledroids?
I heard about you from Lukenessmonster had to sub but do you recommend fixing the boba fett helmet since it gets squished and if so is there a better way to fix it then the hair dryer
I always thought that the Sh Figuarts Boba is better used as a comic interpretation of the character.
First off I love how u get straight to the point .everything u said was dead on thank u. I have th s.h an the helmet is to small an the suit feels like he just started wearing it. Anyways your video made me pull the trigger on the mafex...I paid 80$ even to be sent to my door. What do u think of that price??? 🤔 thank u
Great price
@@LandspeederLuke yes!!!!!!!! 😊 thanx
I’m gonna vote for the Black Series one. He just catches my eye in that lineup 🤷♂️
He does have the least articulation though
I’d definitely pick the black series without question
The Black series is really good but man, the Mafex Boba Fetts really are incredible. They go front and center of my Boba filled Detolf case
actually surprised that the BS was the only one to get the flight suit color right even without any mods but can't beat the detail of the Mafex
Hello! Great video by the way. I was picking up the first also. We see the same things overall.
Did you print yourself your feet support and thoses black hexagone on your shelves ?!?
I would love to see the cmparison to the bandai model kit as well.
Put one together for me 😂
Oh great...now I gotta get the maefx boba lol..thanks
I agree with your choice but I think the black series is actually a close second
Where did you get the figure stands, for the Boba's?
Also, I really like the black series one.
All the additionals really wins me over, due to pic posing.
But yeah, for just standing there, for a display? Yeah, totally Mafex.
The Mafex is still my favorite. Hands down. I always found the figuarts helmet too small. One of the few I gave a miss. I do also have the Black Series, but my Mafex is my fav.
I’m in the process of upgrading the flight suit on my mafex. It’s really too dark. I also did some work on the helmet
Do you have a video of what it looks like?
Custom cape on the black series one or did they change it to a plastic cape for the 40th anniversary verion of him?
Hey can there speeder luke can you make a weathering tutorial for black series boba i really liked the outcome of ur weathered bs boba it looks better than mafex or shf
I’d probably pick the Mafex, the articulation wins the tie with the black series boba
How did you weather the flight suit on the Black series boba?
So I have to ask, where do you get your foot grabbing stands for your figures?! Do you print them yourself?
I did! I designed them too
@@LandspeederLuke Awesome man. Those look perfect. Way better than peg hole ones. I need me some of them bad boys.
tutorial on your weathering?

Put the Maefex legs on the Black Series and it’s good!
Honestly black series for the colors the undersuit is more accurate to the movie I prefer the helmet on the mafex but you can fix that with a hair dryer BUTTTT mafex empire strikes back boba top tier😂😂😂
I’ve owned all three. I actually returned the Figuarts though. It frustrated me. Posing and even just standing him normal was a pain, pieces would fall off and he’s definitely undersized.

It’s the definitive 6” Boba Fett. I don’t think it’ll ever be topped.
The knees on the hasbro are goofy looking. I had one and there was a lot to like, but ultimately Mafex was better to my eyes.
MAFEX is the best one but only if he’s standing alone. He’s too tall to scale with the black series bounty hunters or Vader.
Hasbro's is actually the best. I'm as shocked as everyone else. MAFEX is a tremendous letdown once you've got it in your hands.
They all are good, but I prefer SHF, that’s it.
Agreed SHF is never always the most accurate looking but the articulation is the most durable and best on that line.
I think the Black Series has better body proportions, the SHF has the most accurate EE3 rifle & Mafex has the best helmet.
There's one issue that people tend to overlook & it relates to Temuera Morrison's height where he's shorter than Jeremy Bulloch in the OG so if we're going with the PT scale & canon the SHF is accurate when it comes to height.
The fig arts one looks like utter trash in comparison
In person it's actually not .trust me .also the helmet bieng small is the biggest issue .again in person does look a little better. Mafex does look better though.
I think shf is the worst one, because it looks like a cartoon haha. Mafex and bs are close tho
