In a Star Wars fansite Q&A last week the topic of the “Boba Fett Tax” was brought up a few times by several outlets. Designer Chris justified the higher price point for Boba Fett by saying that the Boba action figure has more parts and thus requires more assembly, meaning more manual labor, and that the figure also has more paint apps. All of which contributes to the higher price point. So this is the perfect time to fact check this. Does a Boba Fett action figure really have more parts that need to be assembled and more paint apps than a figure costing $13 less? Click through for more!
The two are more alike than you may think

It’s business as usual in The Bad Batch this week. Yet another oddjob for Cid takes the Bad Batch (without Hunter and Echo who are busy with some other inconsequential cargo transport mission for Cid) to the races this week. Cid owns a racer and needs to win money to pay off debts to an old rival. Now this is pod racing, again… But of course things go very wrong and the Bad Batch need to step in to save the day.
