The detail and work done in each of this man's videos is insane. I cant believe the current subscriber / viewer count. The growth potential in this channel is crazy! I see this being just as big as Justin's collectibles one day. Do not stop this grind!
Thank you Daryl! We'll get to a higher status one day. We're just taking it one review at a time for now. Comments like these inspire us to keep pushing, so thank you for that! 😄
This is very nice of you to say! A lot goes into it, so when it’s noticed it’s very much appreciated. Thanks for watching and thank you for the compliment my friend! 😄
We couldn’t agree more! The team did an absolutely amazing job on the sculpts. Our goal is to showcase their work and have the pictures/video show the figure how it would be in your hand as much as possible. Thank you for watching and for the compliment 😄
Love it, I got this recently along with Ahsoka (early Christmas, or belated Christmas 😂) and this set became the top in my collection, I gotta say the only issue I got is the lack of a left trigger hand but not for robbed Boba, but because I wanted the armored one to dual weild like Jango would BTW I think its insane that this figure has superior paint apps than the Premium Format, it looks like real weathering while the statue looks... well its not as good as it should be to put it mildly This set is amazing I can't get enough of it
Fantastic review Jonathan, as always, your reviews bring these figures to life and i also think reviewing a bit later than the first reviews to come out gives us a more honest and concise review. I love this set, the head sculpt alone is worth the price tag, in my opinion, i honestly think it is one of Hot Toys Star Wars line finest. The battle damage and weathering texture effects are top drawer.The base is also a reuse from the Death Trooper Specialists Deluxe release.😎
Wow, now that’s interesting! I don’t own the Death Watch Specialist, but I’d definitely love to. I’m guessing it looks a littler darker than Luke’s, right? Now I have to go search, haha! I can’t stop going back to look at these figures! It’s my very first two pack, and I love it. It isn’t perfect, but damn I love it. 😄 Thanks for watch as always, Boba Vader! It sucks we’re late to the game with a review. As you know, we try our best to create a visual experience for you all to make a sound decision in picking up your figures. ❤️
TBH, I wasn't blown away with the headsculpt when I was holding it in hand. It's about 98% accurate, but lacking a little something. Maybe it's the eyes.
Interesting, he's still one of the pieces I look at in the display. Although, to your point, I have the light angled in a way where I can't see his eyes. It's all shadows.
Yet another awesome review Johnathan! Even though I’ve had armored Boba in my collection for a month now, your beautifully shot video helped me appreciate the figure and all the intricate details even more. I agree with your concerns about the accessories causing potential paint damage - attaching the knee rockets was so frustrating since it took way longer than it should have 😂 Pretty sure I chipped away some of the paint app too, so the secondary knee pad was a very welcome & much-needed inclusion. I remember you and Natasha did an overview video when this set was first announced - now that you have it in hand, what are her thoughts? Did this meet/exceed expectations? As always keep up the awesome work! Best looking reviews in the game 🤩🙌🔥
Heeeey! Thank you so much for watching, Peter! Glad I was able to share a different look at the figure for you. I’m sure you already caught 90% of what was shown, but I love detail work so much that I can’t help myself sometimes. 😅 I really did end up scratching the gauntlet, but I was more concerned about the smaller prongs breaking off. Dodged a bullet! Good question, there are a few changes from what I noticed since then: Some of the photographers made Boba appear a bit bloated and the portrait isn’t. It’s perfectly proportioned. I wasn’t sure what to make about the portrait/helmet, but the socket used to articulate and stabilize the helmet is awesome! It definitely doesn’t go over the head, lol! The robe adds a lot of weight to the overall appearance of Boba, not a fan of it, but it looks awesome over the armor. Lastly, the only noticeable difference with the portrait is the scarring on the left eyebrow versus what we have in hand. It isn’t as prominent, but it’s still there. 😄 Thanks again for watching, man! We appreciate the love! 😄🙏❤️
Dude I just came across your channel and damn this was honestly the most high quality looking figure reviews I’ve ever seen. Your video looked super high budget and you captured the details of this figure superbly. I’m not subbed and can’t wait to see you review more figures. Keep up the great work mate 🤙🏼🙏🏼
That’s great to hear! Especially since I’m only using 3 lights and a camera, haha! Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts with us. We create these videos as fans of sixth scale figures, but also to help other collectors make the decision through watching our content. Hopefully we help in some kind of way. 😅 We’ll definitely have more reviews coming soon! 😄🙏
Great video commentary. I'm looking forward to getting this in my collection but I'm more of wanting the throne. The pieces shown looks very fragile which will be staying in the box. 😂 But the details on both figures can't be disputed.
Thanks so much! I enjoyed reviewing this one and am glad to have it in my collection. We have the repainted armor and throne on preorder, so we’re excited as well! There are quite a few fragile pieces to look out for, but as long as you’re veeeerry careful, you’ll hopefully be fine. 😅 Thanks for watching! 😄
Fantastic vid, Jonathan. Can't wait to get this....whenever. 🙄 Also waiting on the artillery trooper, Ahsoka Tano, assault tank commander, and CW Maul.
@@BostonCollectors Well...no. The status changed though "ready for shipping". I contacted the seller whether this means it arrived in Germany and is sitting in his warehouse (because then I would have travelled to him to pick Boba up), or whether Hot Toys has finished the production of the seller's batch and it is sitting in China, waiting for a container to be shipped from there. I already bought from this seller, and my Captain Rex also showed up just like that, pretty quickly actually. Never needed to contact him. Oh well...let's just play the waiting game. Guess my Boba Fett post-sarlacc costume will be finished before these dudes arrive.
Hello there my favorite hot toys youtuber! Can you help me with something? I love the pose at 10:58, I basically bought the figure for this pose, I love when helmeted characters hold their helmets with one hand but I just can't turn his hand to this angle. What is the secret? I tried everything but my figure's hand just can't turn this much. Nothing is stopping the joint, just the sculpt of the hand itself. Am I doing something wrong? I know it's such a small problem but it's important for me
Heya! 😄🙏🏼 Yeah, absolutely! The trick is in the wrist joint. But I’ll try to write down the way I do it in steps. - In the shoulder, I swivel it to where the arm is facing behind the character. - Then I bend the arm forward to find a natural posture. - After that, you’ll want to bring the arm outward from the body so that the helmet can rest on the forearm. - The trick is in the wrist from here. After you find the posture you want, grab some pliers and twist the wrist joint until you can get the hand to point inward toward the body. After that it’s fitting the helmet in and you’re good to go. 😄 Hope this helps! 🙏🏼🍻
@@BostonCollectors thank you for the detailed answer, you are great! I finally had the time to pose figures and I had been trying for more than an hour now, I've accidentally dropped the helmet around 15 times on the rug so it's a miracle that the rangefinder is still not broken. I think I'm done for today 😀
@@indecay8756 awww, sorry to hear that! You’re in luck actually, my next posing video will have a helmet holding pose. 😄 - Just have to finish editing it and it’ll be out soon.
How nobody noticed that the helmet is WAAAY TOOO BIG compare to the screen used costume I cancelled my pre-order on this 2pack when I saw it in youtube videos

This is without a doubt the best review on this set. Your close ups, lighting, and overall set for the review is perfect. Incredibly well done!
This is very nice of you to say! A lot goes into it, so when it’s noticed it’s very much appreciated. Thanks for watching and thank you for the compliment my friend! 😄
Beautiful, beautiful, BEAUTIFUL!!! They did such an outstanding job on his paint apps and likeness and your video work enhances every bit of it!

One of the best sets by hot toys
Remarkable! Can’t get over this warm and calm lighting in this video!👏👏👏 Great review as always!
Thank you, thank you! We try our best. There’s more to come! 😄🙏
My homie Johnathan constantly thriving to god tier
Ayyyeee! Tryin’, tryin’! 🙏
The “Like” reminder really helps. Great video
Yeah, I try not to bring it up, but by not bringing it up it we usually forget to, lol! Thanks for watching! 😄🙏
You guys make the most beautiful video reviews
Thank you so much. We appreciate you taking the time out to watch! 😄
Incredible posings and picture quality congratulations..keep the good work!
Thank you much, Ronald! Appreciate you for watching 😄
Awesome video! I cannot wait for jango to come out in a couple months
Thank you! And oh yeah, we have a preorder for Jango too. Can’t wait to have that one come in!
Appreciate you for watching! 😄🙏

Incredible figure, i cant wait for mine to arrive! Awesome video!
You picked up the 2 pack? If so, it’s gonna blow your mind! Can’t wait to see the unboxing and review! 🔥🔥🔥

Yeah, my list is pretty stacked for April - June figures. Looks like we’re in the same boat. 😐
Still (im)patiently waiting for mine. Looks as if it will take until autumn...oh well. He is worth it.
Hopefully you have your notice now... or soon! 😄

How do you put on the left knee pad????
You’ll have to pop off the foot and slide it on.
