Scott Neitlich from Jakks Pacific reached out to us yesterday with details on the SDCC exclusive Jakks Pacific Boba Fett 18" figure. We posted the details on our Facebook page yesterday, but in case some of you don't access that outlet we are also posting it here today. When we reached out to him Scott letting him know that Medicom Toy released two collectibles of this version of Boba Fett already, he replied "Yeah, it is one of those things where those items are considered in licensing to be in a different category. Licensing gets split up in odd ways these days." Click through for details on this cool collectible!

SDCC First Appearance Boba Fett $50.00, limit one per customer, sold ONLY at SDCC at the JAKKS booth in the Lucasfilm area

Boba Fett, Legendary Mandalorian Bounty Hunter has a long and colorful history. While many fans remember him from The Empire Strikes Back as well as his animate debut in The Star Wars Holiday Special, his true first appearance was as a member of the Star Wars delegation in the San Anselmo County Fair on September 24, 1978! At the time, Lucasfilm was headquartered at 52 Park Way in San Anselmo, about twenty minutes north of San Francisco. As part of harvest parade, Darth Vader and for the first time in public, Boba Fett, marched throughout the street waving to fans of all ages. The armor was worn by assistant film editor Duwayne Dunham and featured several noticeable difference such as the brightly colored blue jump suit, yellow and red armor highlights, as well as the “tribal marks” on his helmet; all altered for his later film appearances. JAKKS Pacific is excited to celebrate this legendary character and offer an articulated action figure of First Appearance Boba Fett or the first time ever!

Editor's Note: This version of Boba Fett was offered twice by Medicom Toy as a VCD and as a Kubrick.
