One of the most popular characters from the original
trilogy, Boba Fett is included in every new Star Wars
toy line. Even being produced as one of the limited
characters used for the VOTC series. When word of this
wave first hit, it was no surprise that he would be
made yet again. And there was a little surprise with
this one this time.
Here are my subjective and objective reviews for the
figure:
Head Sculpt:
Since this is the same head from the SAGA and OTC
lines, it’s no different. Which is to say it’s good.
I'm still hoping for the day that we get a removable
helmet Boba (non-Titanium). One that I don't have to
customize.
This sculpt could have been made better by some better
battle damaged paint, but it suffices.

Articulation:
Her’s the surprise. The upper part of the figure is
from the SAGA and OTC lines while the lower part is
from the VOTC figure. It’s a good kit bash that
accomplishes a few things. I still prefer the VOTC
Boba, but for a basic figure at a basic price, this is
the best. Lots of articulation though the elbows could
be better, you can pose him in many positions.

Paint Application:
Very good. A fair amount of accuracy if not perfect.
Rich in color, this paint application helps to bring
the figure to life. More and darker battle damage
might have pushed this to a "5."

Overall sculpt:
He’s a kit-bash from a few figures, but it works well
enough. Good not great. If you didn't get the previous
SAGA Boba, then I'd highly suggest getting this one.
It’s definitely an improvement from that one.

Accessories:
Blaster, Flame and figure stand. A repeat of
accessories of the past. But the flame accessory
continues to make me happy.
Rating 3.5 out of 5 Holocrons
Customization possibilities:
Not much to speak of. With the tell-tale elbow
articulation, it’s going to be hard not to notice
which Boba was used for whatever custom you make of
him. Unless you want to make a battle damaged Jango
from this one, there’s not much to custom. Though you
could simply repaint him to another color scheme and
make you own Mandolorian.

Playability:
This figure is by far the best regular priced Boba to
date. Lots of play value here and will make kids and
"grown-up kids" alike happy.
Rating 4 out of 5 Holocrons
Overall Score:
Easily one of the best from the Tatooine wave. The
little he lacks in articulation is made up for with
how he looks. This is a solid representation of Boba
whether you PLAY or DISPLAY your figures.
