Pulpy's EMPIRE: Series 1 Boba Fett
Name: Boba FettCustom Type: Action Figure
Toy Series: Star Wars
Base Figure: Toybiz ML Loki
Height: 6.50 inches
Articulation: 36 points
Out of all of the legends scale Star Wars figures I've been working on, I learned the most on this one. It took forever to finish, as in years, and I had to try a lot of different methods to accomplish what I wanted from it.
Every time i thought i was just about finished there was another small detail i had missed and had to get back to. In the end because of that, I learned a lot about the character and his suit from tons pf research and reference! Like did you know the slats in his shin pockets aren't armour plating, they are signal jammers! Boba Fett is completely stealth and can't be caught on most cameras and monitoring systems!
Another cool "ditty" are the little "dodads" on the side of both Boba's knee pads, the are miniature rocket launchers!
This was a real labour of love, and I'm glad to have him done. Die hard fans can see where I took a few liberties with him, like cape placement, and putting his sidearm more forward on his belt. He has so much on that side and it helps with mobility/articulation, and heck i took the time to make the holster and gun so I want to show it off!
He's made from a Ml toybiz loki,
Hand ninja fore arms
A bootleg ML Cyclops lower legs (exactly the look I needed!)
The removable helmet, rifle, jetpack, gauntlets, and base from a Hasbro Star Wars
I was going to try to make the unmasked head head Jeremy Bulloch, the man who played Boba Fett when I was a kid. However I went with a a modified DCUC mr. Terrific, who I feel is a great likeness for Temuera Morrison, the actor who played Jango Fett, and who Boba would grow up to look like being his clone.
All other details fabricated or sculpted.
Thanks for checking him out, and may the force be with you!
