I don't think I realized how much different the Bobf costume was different from the Mando2 one. Really do prefer this armored look but I think the Tython black series is gonna be my Boba for now.
I really like this look for Boba. I was waiting for Black Series to come out with one but who knows that could take years since we barely get anything from them anymore. I really like that throne also so I think I'm sold.
So far they have no plans of making a BoBF Black Series Boba. It’s not in their pipeline. Not sure why they didn’t release one when the Vintage Collection one came out. It’s such a nice design
I am really looking forward to receiving my copy. This is the first Boba Fett I have purchased from figuarts. I am really looking forward to checking out the Mafex version. I find they usually usually get his proportions a bit better, but this looks like the best figuarts has done.
For our first BoBF Boba Fett... not bad at all! ✨ In the panning shots at the end of the video, the unmasked head sculpts actually look great in that lighting. I'm excited for when mine arrives now.
Robo! Loved this (very fair) review. Had this guy for just under a week and I can't put it down. It's up there with the recent Luke as far as excellent SHF releases go, giving me hope in the line after their subpar Mandos. Black Series may or may not be more proportionate whenever they get around to it, but if today's Hasbro livestream is any indication, we're still quite a ways off from that. And the paint, accessories, sculpt and articulation on The Black Series will all be worse than the SHF's. Yeah, Mafex might make a better one, but considering their season 2 Mando one won't even be out until next year, we won't be seeing THIS Boba until 2025 at the absolute earliest. I also doubt Mafex'll come with 3 heads and the throne. I feel like Bandai has more or less solved the issues they've faced with Mando. The holster and jetpack effects aren't annoying, swapping hands is easy, the gaffi stick isn't going to snap like Mando's spear...the real only issue are those pegs for the backplate, and I can't hate on Bandai for going for accuracy. All in all, this exceeded my expectations. 9/10.
I’d seen a few reviews for this, but waited till I specifically saw yours before I pulled the trigger and bought one. The fact it lines up well with the black series Boba’s means this will definitely make do until Hasbro finally make one. Great review as always.
I have the first SH Figuarts one, I think the helmet is too small on these. I use the Black Series helmet. It makes the proportions look much better, despite the slight color difference. It'll be interesting to compare this to the Mafex one when that releases.
@@TheFwoosh Still an awesome figure! The old Mafex Fetts are still my favorite, they look like someone wearing a helmet. Times are good when we get so many options for high quality Boba figures. Thanks for the kick ass review as always!
Super excited to grab this guy. The helmet is kinda small, but still awesome. I wonder if the Black series helmet on this figure’s head would make it perfect. Only time will tell lol great review Robo!
Man, if I had the money, I would so jump on this figure. Unfortunately, I'm broke, but in this case, its okay cause I do plan to pick up the model kit Boba Fett. I just think that is my best option for my budget and I've been heavy on the model kit grind recently. This still is an amazing figure, just not a good taste for my wallet.
Sure, this is the Boba you've been waiting for... and now that you have it, you can wait for the Mafex. There'll always be one to wait for, Robo! You'll never catch the Boba dragon!
That's true for ANY popular character though, haha! MAFEX just showed the Mando Season 2 Boba last month so I figure we have a good year and a half before their BOBF version.
Just got this last week, shortened its neck, added a soft goods scarf and did a slight white weathering on the edges of the armor. Looks pretty good overall except for the strange visor. Even though I got this I still gotta watch the whole video lmao.
Yeah, the visor still isn't perfect, and I'm starting to think the helmet is slightly small, but still pretty good. I like your neck shortening idea though....
I am actually surprised how cheap I got him on Amazon JP when I pre ordered it. With a lot of accessories & throne I was expecting 150$ to 170$ range but he was just 5$ more than what I paid for the figuarts heavy mandalorian on Amazon JP which felt like a deal. I really like this figure & he will probably be in my figures of the Year come the end of the year. Their is not much i dislike about it outside some really tiny removal parts & I wish he came with a knee rocket effect. I really hope tamashii announce more Star Wars figuarts soon because I hate when the last figure in their schedule gets releases and they sometimes go months to what feels like a year without announcing anything making me think the line is done into they finally do something. I'm still wondering what the hell happened to moth Gideon who had promo pics the same time as mando Luke only to never get a release date.
This is better then I expected! Sadly I currently dont have any budget because im making a full custom watchmen crew to go along with the filix toys inkblot..
@@TheFwoosh nobody gives us watchmen toys. So had to do it myself. Actually kinda proud of my nite owl i just finished😅 been a long time since I did full on customizing.
Oh, I'm not hating on the Mando season 2 look at all, I'm still buying every version of that too, haha. I just like this one best. And Hasbro has announced a proper BOBF Black Krrsantan but haven't shown it yet. I'm eager to see what it looks like.
I got this and it’s a great looking figure, but minutes after opening it his right wrist peg broke. :( The instructions said to be gentle with them and I was super careful. I got it from Amazon JP and they didn’t accept returns and Bandai support doesn’t deal with American shipping. Maybe I can find a replacement wrist peg somewhere.
Honestly you could probably get a donor one from most figures. Not sure if they use a universal peg joint or not, but surely the SHF Mando Boba Fett would work?
I really wish there was a version without the throne and a thinner T viser. I’m thinking about getting this and the season 2 shf Mando to fill the void and replace my black series ones because theyre getting a little stale
As usual : helmet look a bit short and he fell a bit small on his throne (or the throne is too big?). The lack of paint on the faces annoys me, especially the lack of white for the eyes (considering i got a very nice one with ma figuarts Mando S2). And a usual they killed it with the accessories. Ultimately : this one will do the trick until a MAFEX BoBF (which will come out in....2-2.5 years at best?) Man i wish they skipped Mando S2 Boba Fett (even if it looks awesome) and release a BoBF directly cause this is my favorite look for the character
If the rifle is a reuse from SHF's Mando Season 2 Boba Fett, then I suspect this one can't aim down the scope either, since the butt stock is too long.
Do you think you'd ever do another figure showdown like you did with Vader? That's always been one of your best videos, and you have the numbers (of quality figures) to actually do worthwhile comparisons. If not a showdown, between Boba Fett, Spiderman, and Batman alone some mass comparisons would be appreciated. Even if not, I still love your vids, and do appreciate what you put out. Have a good one!
It seems like every time I get a new Boba Fett another is announced, so it's hard to put something like that together without thinking it will be obsolete in a few months, haha.
Ooohhh man THIS is the one I’ve been waiting for. Robo’s opinion on a toy that… I already got, even though most of the time I like hearing his take first because we’re on really similar wavelengths in terms of what we like in toys. I recently got my copy and I’ve been absolutely in love with it. Something about the proportions, the deco, the accessories, and the lack of QC issues just bowled me over. It feels complete in a way that other Fetts of this era don’t, and this figure really does it for me. Edit: started writing this comment before actually starting the video and he literally says the words “this is the one I was waiting for”, and I don’t know what to do with myself now.
@@TheFwoosh And as it turns out… I pretty much agreed with everything said in the actual video lmao Sure, the helmet could be a smidge bigger, the visor a hair thinner, but until Medicom puts out their MAFEX version in like, two or three years? This’ll probably be my collection-default 1:12 Boba from this era. The fact that it’s my favorite modern Boba look is doing a lot of the heavy lifting there. I will say: this figure looks AMAZING next to the MAFEX Season 1 Mando, and I expect that it’ll pair perfectly with their S2 version (and I can’t help but wonder how it’ll stack up next to MAFEX S2 Boba).
I thought the same about the throne but I think it's just about right. Most of the stills I pulled have him looking a bit like a kid at the adult table, since the throne was made for Bib.
He looks pretty cool but I should still prefer my Black Series version. I don’t see any one big “flaw” in him but I think there are enough little weird bits here and there that are mostly easy to overlook on their own but together they just make him… odd 🤔 I think I’m in the minority though lol
I don't think I realized how much different the Bobf costume was different from the Mando2 one. Really do prefer this armored look but I think the Tython black series is gonna be my Boba for now.
Yeah, he refines and streamlines everything.
Love how detailed your reviews are!!! Keep up the great work Fwoosh!!!
At the end you can see Robo reenacting the frustration I had as a kid trying to play Bakugan
I really like this look for Boba. I was waiting for Black Series to come out with one but who knows that could take years since we barely get anything from them anymore. I really like that throne also so I think I'm sold.
So far they have no plans of making a BoBF Black Series Boba. It’s not in their pipeline. Not sure why they didn’t release one when the Vintage Collection one came out. It’s such a nice design
Now I'm just picturing Boba Fett lounging in that throne with some snacks watching a tv
I'm going to have him, Snoke, and Palpatine all chilling and watching Wrestlemania.
This Boba & Throne looks so good!
I am really looking forward to receiving my copy. This is the first Boba Fett I have purchased from figuarts. I am really looking forward to checking out the Mafex version. I find they usually usually get his proportions a bit better, but this looks like the best figuarts has done.
Yeah, this is kind of a return to form for SHF. Still some nitpicks but happier with this than some other recent offerings.
For our first BoBF Boba Fett... not bad at all! ✨
In the panning shots at the end of the video, the unmasked head sculpts actually look great in that lighting. I'm excited for when mine arrives now.
What do you mean by first? There’s a Vintage Collection one
Black series Deathwatch and diamond select boba nailed the helmet shape

I tried it, sits big on the body. Thinking model kit helmet looks best but needs some mods.
@@TheFwoosh I smell a play day and a reason for me to get yet another Mando S2 Boba Fett lol
Got this figure yesterday and it’s soooooo good and fun to play with the throne is so amazing
Man, if I had the money, I would so jump on this figure. Unfortunately, I'm broke, but in this case, its okay cause I do plan to pick up the model kit Boba Fett.

I just got mine today haha, loving him so far
I like how you did the Cad Bane voice.
I can't wait for it to come in the mail!
Haha, I was rooting for you at the end to get the helmet to land.
Sure, this is the Boba you've been waiting for... and now that you have it, you can wait for the Mafex. There'll always be one to wait for, Robo! You'll never catch the Boba dragon!

Man, that Black Krrrasantan is fire, what hasbro should've given us. And I personally prefer the season 2 Mandalorian version
Oh, I'm not hating on the Mando season 2 look at all, I'm still buying every version of that too, haha. I just like this one best. And Hasbro has announced a proper BOBF Black Krrsantan but haven't shown it yet. I'm eager to see what it looks like.
@@TheFwoosh the current Krrsantan they have is not even the right body shape.
Just got mine in and love it 🎉
That really was the perfect helmet roll at the beginning.
How long did it take to get the shot?
Sweet review now I want him 😀
I hope Hasbro does a throne as well!
I miss the "Legalze n' UPC's" line it has such a cool ring to it.
I thought tamashii beefed up the size for this boba? Did I not see a picture online comparing old and new?
TY for the review! You're the Best!
... Made my order CANCELED. :'D
Will we see Kenobi show figures from bandai? What do you think

really like the mando version hahaha
i wonder if the look will keep changing
Oh, there's always more looks because there's always more toys to sell, haha!
Robo...do you like Ralph McQuarrie's concept Boba & original idea of the Super Trooper?
Winking crotch. ;) lol
Robo, are the likes from you? 🌞🙏
So...did the helmet ever land facing up?
Who will we see in the throne next? Beef Boss or Razorback?
Oooooooooo, that's a tough choice. Beef Boss has his own throne, but then Razorback has his rig, they gotta fight for this one.
I really wish there was a version without the throne and a thinner T viser. I’m thinking about getting this and the season 2 shf Mando to fill the void and replace my black series ones because theyre getting a little stale
The biggest complaint I can see is that the unmasked head is fair too light in skin tone. It’s likely not intentional but it’s an issue regardless
Hey anyone did a comparison with this throne and the biggs market version?
As usual : helmet look a bit short and he fell a bit small on his throne (or the throne is too big?). The lack of paint on the faces annoys me, especially the lack of white for the eyes (considering i got a very nice one with ma figuarts Mando S2). And a usual they killed it with the accessories.
