One of my personal favorite Boba Fett is the old 2004 VOTC mold. Any of them. I love the look, rangefinder, helmet, style, and articulation. I'd say my favorite version is the one with the brighter red on the helmet, it just pops. I'm more of a Jango guy myself (the best thing in AOTC for sure). He was just more prominent, had more of a character, and I like blue. Sue me. Wish they wouldn't have killed him off so soon, but oh well. My favorite Fett figure will always be the Hasbro 12" Deluxe Jango Fett. It's so beautiful. Awesome video Dan!
THAT'S WHAT I ALWAYS SAY! I think it works great for putting Fett in comedic situations since he's so expressive, but he's absolutely not the most screen accurate.
Toy Galaxy also congrats on breaking that 10k subscriber mark! I think I started following you at 2 or 3 and that was back in June or July! Great job, well deserved!
I just asked him about his opinion on the RAH figures, as they are fully articulated and look very close to screen Boba's. I have the 30th Anniversary Empire edition.
After getting the Black Series Boba, I must say that, Black Series Boba is much more durable and playable, you can carry him around without having to worry about breaking the range finder or losing jetpack booster parts. It's very, very difficult to find one in Hong Kong, but once I did, all my efforts of finding him definitely worth it. P.S. If you happen to live in Hong Kong, you can find the distributor sticker from Hasbro on the back of the box, which helps a little bit to tell whether it's real or bootleg.
The cloth cape of the black series boba fett is so annoying to get positioned properly on mine so I had to cut off one of the three flaps and I like it more now.
Thank you for helping me discover that Hasbro 300 Fett! I’ve been looking for a near-perfect Empire Strikes Back 3.75 inch figure to go along with the newer Vintage Collection Return of the Jedi styled Fett, and this one is the perfect addition! I’m not bugged by the lack of articulation, nor the firing feature, as I think it’s a fun thing to have as an option.
How do u not have more subscribers?! I came across ur channel by accident and have been addicted ever since! I've even opened up my figs and started mixing my collection together like ur background lol
I haven't read ALL the comments, but where do you rank the 2007 Medicom Real Action Heroes (via Sideshow) 30th Anniversary Empire figure? It is fully articulated, with stand, and has a cloth costume (you have to dress it as it's fully metal). It doesn't have a removable helmet, but it does have adjustable range finder, and the paint is fairly close to screen painting.
Mafex Empire Strikes Back Boba Fett is and will always be my favorite Boba Fett figure and the only one I'll ever need. But they have made many good ones indeed. Always good reviews my friend.
Terrific job on this list, came in handy for my hunt of yet another Boba for my collection. Wonder how you feel about the Super Shogun Boba by Funko/Super7? Personal fave.
I just opened my ESB Mafex Boba Fett after watching a combination of this video, the review(s), the "versus" series, etc. Pretty much all of your Mafex Fett videos. It's truly a masterpiece. A piece of art in 1/2 scale. Mafex has been hit or miss (sorely disappointed by their unmasked Kylo), this Fett is the closes to a 10/10 for any of my figures.
Love my black series but just received Mafex rotj and empire. I definitely agree (yes a cloth cape would b nice). Samurai bf shouldn't make any list unless jar jar is on it!
I have the Revoltech Boba, he's probably the most unique one out of the five. While he looks lean, a little bit top heavy and difficult to stand properly, he's very, very posable and stylish. You can pose him flying around or pointing at something, grabbing random stuff and scanning things with the range finder. Unlike the Bandai one, the range finder is a little bit thicker and the helmet's right part is made of soft PVC plastic to prevent the range finder's breakage.
Revoltech is the one I turn to for, like you said, fun/action poses and funny scenes. But when I want a really screen accurate looking Fett for a picture, it's gotta be Mafex.
Have you attempted to reach out to the guy that owns the only on card original Fett that actually can fire the missile on the jet pack? Obviously he wants a CRAZY amount of $$, but it would obviously be the ultimate addition and be the crowning jewel in the Sett
I remember seeing it on eBay for au$150k around 2015. The card was very worn and the back was raw cardboard. A mile long of authenticity certs. Used as a promotion at comic conventions. Not many know or believe it exists
I know I’m like 6 years late to this party but this made me look up the Mafex figures and do deep dives into reviews. To my surprise, they are re-releasing it this month and I’m looking forward to it
Yep got my hands on two copies I case one breaks. I also got the black series boba Fett. Which I'll admit more accessories and stuff and better articulation then mafex. But mafex has the details and there posing isn't that bad the hand limitations are very sad. I bought the hush hands on eBay to give my Fett more options while not looking to out of place on him.
+Toy Galaxy Bandai and Hasbro should really get moving on their Fetts. Hasbro still needs to do a ROTJ Fett with moving rangefinder. They are lagging behind now and probably can't reap as much of that sweet sweet Star Wars fan money because Mafex just curb stomped them with both'a Fetts at once. The bar has been set, but can Hasbro and Bandai reach up, grab it, and raise themselves high or will they lose their grip and fall down into the Sarlacc pit?
Toy Galaxy I know right? They need to either have a set of evergreen characters that will always be around on shelves or do some assortments with the best of figures from past waves (Fett, maul, r2, Jedi Luke, anakin, etc) so that they can effectively kill the bootleggers. I mean, 2 versions of 3po just came out and there's no r2 on the pegs to sell alongside him?!?! Biggest missed opportunity in merchandising ever.
Boba Fett is the classic story archetype in the tradition of the lone gunslinger, man without a face, mysterious stranger. The more they dip into the well of Fett and try to reveal more of his backstory, they dilute and diminish his appeal as a compelling character. My top three favorite Star Wars figures are: 1. Darth Vader 2. Classic Storm Trooper 2. Boba Fett ( they tied for 2nd place LOL)
The 300 fett was the fire figure I bought with my own money. It inspired my love for fett and even led to a Boba Halloween costume made primarily of a milk carton, construction paper, and toilet paper tubes. I love that figure. A question though-- I have seen your comparison of the two Mafex Fetts, but i am still on the fence-- I prefer the ROTJ design, but I miss the extra pistol and am afraid of breaking the extra pipes on the sleeve. Which would you recommend given that?
Tough call. I really like them both so it's hard for me to say for sure. I'll make your decision even hard by saying that those tubes do NOT stay in the sleeve holes and there are more on the ROTJ than the ESB. That said... that second gun holster is just BARELY glued to the belt and falls off VERY easily. Mine came off while I was shooting the photos for this video and I don't know if I'm going to bother gluing it back on.
The one from the han/boba last Jedi 2 pack released 8 months after this video is amazing and is easily in the top ten now. Amazing proportions and colors that capture his essence. It like a 3.75 version of the 6” black series one.
Just got the 10 inch bobble head Funko Boba Fett and so impressed was I that I bought 2x 10inch White Trooper bobble heads to go one at each side they look Epic..... this in my mind is Boba going to see Vader for the Contract..
Toy Galaxy true. Love the Mafex. But I had also passed on the reimagining figures (more interested in screen accuracy) and the Bandai model cause I can't paint for crap so those are a little lower on my list. Love the jango comment . Definitely lol'd
For the same reasons you said you passed on the re-imaginings I left the protos off. And, I mean, the protos really are just WHITE versions of pre-existing figures. So, I didn't want to take up 2 slots with Black Series AND BS Proto. Same with the 3 3/4". I would have had 6 slots devoted, essentially, to duplicates.
My Fett Legacy Collection Boba’s head has a white flight hood underneath instead of the pompadour shown in this. Good list- I like the black series best.
It caused me physical pain to see 2 Japanese warrior Fetts in there and still talk about screen accuracy with the others. Might as well throw in Mickey ears variations and other ridiculous mutations. Glad mafex came out on top though
Number five was actually a repack from the 30th anniversary first release was in 2007 ...nice work man definitely some good fetts but the vintage fett can't be beat ...
While I agree on your top 2 figures, you really should have made the model kit #3; his articulation and possibility are only second to the Mafex and with a little care it can look amazing. I spent almost 5 hours painting and weathering mine using Empire pica as reference for the scratches and bump and it makes the unpainted look like a bathtub toy....plus doing it yourself adds so much enjoyment
That's the problem though and the reason I couldn't rank it higher. How "good" it can be is dependent on the person painting it. You could spend 5 hours and produce a screen-accurate likeness, I could spend 5 hours and produce something that looks like I bought it from a street vendor who served it with a side of fries. It has to be judged based on what they sold in the box. And the articulation and sculpt are good enough to merit it's placement on this list, but not in front of figures that come completed.
awesome! Mafex and black series Boba's all the way! Boo to making a samurai Fett(interesting concept, just don't think they quite pulled it off with the ugly helmet design and lack of weathering on the armor), that Play Arts Kai super hi-tech Boba Fett design sucks, what makes Fett's design unite is his hodge-podge, nomadic look, making him look like HALO's Master Chief, shows little understanding of the character. i can only wonder how Fett will look when his inevitable solo film hits theaters.
Hey Dan, just curious, did you intentionally leave off the Evolutions 3pack Fett? Easily the best Boba for its time. God I miss the evolutions sets, that shirtless Darth Maul is still one of the best SW 3.75 figs ever made...bring Evolutions to 6in!!!
If I'm not mistaken it's the exact same mold as the 2009 Legacy Collection Fett that we put here on the list at #5. I went with the wider release figure since availability make it a "better" figure.
Is it? Lol I could've swore they were a little different but then again I haven't dug out either of them from their cardboard box resting places in a while so I'll take you at your word good sir!
I know you didn't include the Hot Toys Fett, but for the time, the 1997 Japanese Marmot Fett is the absolute best when it comes to 1/6th scale. As far as modern, check out the latest 2 pack, Han & Fett. That has to be the best sculpt on a newer Fett, much like they did with the newer Stormtroopers, it's an absolutely awesome sculpt, and finally get the helmet right. Oh and what about the mail in rocket Fett released on a vintage style card, a few years back It was finally the Fett we all wanted as a kid, when we found out the rocket mech had been removed. Of course nothing like you said beats the original 3.75", and 12" Fett's.
I've got a Chinese copy of the Ronin Boba Fett on order (it was even advertised as a Chinese copy so there was no pretence that it was a genuine item). I've seen a couple of reviews about copies of the Samurai Star Wars series and, apart from a couple of issues with the paint not being as vibrant as the genuine items and limbs falling off when being moved about, the general consensus is that they are pretty good! I'm more than confident the genuine item won't be 4 times better than my copy and the money I've saved will pay for the three other copies in the series I'm after!
The color difference wouldn't bother me, but the arms falling off? That's kind of a problem. I mean, if they can easily be put back on or fixed, that's one thing. But if they're broken? No thanks.
I got my £26 Chinese copy Ronin Boba Fett today and I can honestly say it is worth every bit of the £75 that I saved not buying the genuine item! Yes, it's not perfect, the paint is thinly applied in certain areas allowing some of the plastic underneath to be slightly visible and I did have a couple of limbs falling off but they just popped straight back in! The joints are quite loose and don't have the solid ratchet movement of the genuine item but once I found a pose I liked the figure was quite stable. I did get a duplicate knife instead of 6 different ones but nothing worth crying over! Apart from that I am perfectly happy with it! If I didn't know any better I would say this was a genuine item that didn't pass quality control (wouldn't surprise me if it was made in the same factory as the genuine item!) For anyone on a budget this is the perfect way to buy into the Samurai Star Wars universe! Oh yeah, forgot to add that I'm not entirely sure why they settled on a turquoise colour for the armour instead of green. This applies for the genuine item as well as the copy. It does look nice but is just the wrong colour, kinda like giving C3P0 a red arm and nobody would ever dream of doing that...
We never put Hot Toys on the lists because they would always be number 1. What could possibly be better than HT? And once you know that... why bother with the list?
oh dan, sh figuarts isnt a safe bet. if you ever get a chance to get shf jango fett at a very very very low price please do a vs with hasbro jango fett. i m aware the black series jango fett had a few problems but still it might have a chance to beat shf
Oh sure, I figure they're trying to figure out how to improve that Jango mold as we speak. Not their best figure. And you're right, if all they do is recycle it, BS has a chance to still be better.
Toy Galaxy i took the helmet off my vintage collection one for the first time and he has the same head as the vintage collection stormtrooper except with a white head sock on instead of black. would be cool if he was hux’s uncle who found the armor!
The only one I will have is the black series which as I type this is on it's way to me on a slow boat from China. I have a mere seven Bobas none of which made the list.
So, I take it you don't consider *Hot Toys, Sideshow, Medicom,* 12" figs to be "action figures"? ...Could have at least given them their due with honorable mentions. Seeing as how they are better than any figure on your list.
I consider them to be action figures, but I do not include them on our lists because they would always be number 1 due to their price point and materials. Where's the suspense in that?
Jason Smith as for the 1/6 scale if you like the ESB look go with the newest version of sideshow or the ROTJ go with hot toys both are nice and accurate to the movie. As for me I've always been a fan of ESB so I've bought the sideshow version.
i dont know man, when i was a kid ALL of my favorite figures were in the 3 3/4" scale. and so when i started collecting figures in the late 80s all the stuff i wanted was in the 3 3/4" scale, and now honestly if stuff isnt in my scale i have zero interest. no matter how much modern collectors seem to love and embrace the 6" scale i have zero interest in it and i will not start my collection over again with 6" no matter how much the toy companies themselves are trying to push it. 35 years or so of collecting was great, guess its time to move onto to something else.
I own a few of them. For the most part I don't care for the cold, dead, shark eyes. It robs them all all personality. That said, there are several that don't have regular eyes that I think work well: anyone with a helmet really. And then I personally own Sharknado (shark eyes work here), Slimer and Voltron.
Fett doesn't need a removable helmet, that is his face. (and his voice will forever be Jason Wingreen).
Agree with this 100%. I would prefer we NEVER see the guy under the helmet.
Toy Galaxy Even though we (sadly) already know what he should look like, being a clone of Jango and all...
Boba Fett will always be Jeremy Bulloch for me! I'm a prequel denier!
Jeremy Bulloch for me too!
...Course I'm a bit biased since I have his autograph on my Fett Figure. :)
Couldn't agree more. The mayfex figure has a chin underneath, which is perfect.
My revoltech boba will forever be on my robot chicken shelf.
Pro tip : watch series on Kaldrostream. Been using it for watching loads of movies lately.
@Orlando Xzavier Yup, I've been watching on kaldroStream for since november myself =)
One of my personal favorite Boba Fett is the old 2004 VOTC mold. Any of them. I love the look, rangefinder, helmet, style, and articulation. I'd say my favorite version is the one with the brighter red on the helmet, it just pops. I'm more of a Jango guy myself (the best thing in AOTC for sure). He was just more prominent, had more of a character, and I like blue. Sue me. Wish they wouldn't have killed him off so soon, but oh well. My favorite Fett figure will always be the Hasbro 12" Deluxe Jango Fett. It's so beautiful.
Awesome video Dan!
Is that the one that has the jetpack exhaust "stand?"
Revoltech looks like it's from Robot chicken! lol
THAT'S WHAT I ALWAYS SAY! I think it works great for putting Fett in comedic situations since he's so expressive, but he's absolutely not the most screen accurate.
Yep. Pretty hilarious! It's definitely my favorite! I love your videos! keep up the good work and happy new year!
makes me revolt! Just hideous!
Gabriel Ryan I think that’s a selling point for me tbh lol
I was kind of expecting this video to just be 1979 Kenner figures. 1-10. Just like. Your 10 best looking ones. But hey! An actual list is nice too.
Good note for the future...
Toy Galaxy also congrats on breaking that 10k subscriber mark! I think I started following you at 2 or 3 and that was back in June or July! Great job, well deserved!
They deserve a lot more than just 10k. I've been following from the beginning as well. This is a great channel. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! We're pretty excited to have come this far.
Thank you very much!
So shocked that the marmit fett didn't make it in this list.
I feel like this list needs an update with the amount of new Fett figures.
For me it's the Medicom RAH ROTJ 1/6 Boba. The prettiest piece in my collection for sure.
I just asked him about his opinion on the RAH figures, as they are fully articulated and look very close to screen Boba's. I have the 30th Anniversary Empire edition.
After getting the Black Series Boba, I must say that, Black Series Boba is much more durable and playable, you can carry him around without having to worry about breaking the range finder or losing jetpack booster parts. It's very, very difficult to find one in Hong Kong, but once I did, all my efforts of finding him definitely worth it.
P.S. If you happen to live in Hong Kong, you can find the distributor sticker from Hasbro on the back of the box, which helps a little bit to tell whether it's real or bootleg.
I still remember finding the original Boba Fett figure on Star Wars card when I was on holiday as a kid and I've still got it.
I have an SDCC Black Series Fett with the Han in carbonite, in the black box, unopened.
In the meantime, the Diamond Select 7" Boba Fett arrived, and in my opinion should get the 2nd or 1st place at least.
Wheres the original 1980sumthin 12in? With the movable headgear and the working scope???
no kidding!?!?!?!
Shiftee 7Treez yeah didn’t I t have a rangefinder like the six million dollar man.
Hell of a good pick for the first top ten of 2017
Love the Mafex Return of the Jedi. Just got mine. It is indeed the best. This is the best review. Very helpful.
The cloth cape of the black series boba fett is so annoying to get positioned properly on mine so I had to cut off one of the three flaps and I like it more now.
It's definitely large-ish. And VERY firm. I've cut capes down on smaller figures but can't bring myself to do it to this one.
I ordered my samourai Bobafett, now I'm waiting. great top 10 Dan, and congrats on your 10k subscribers!
Ooh. Nice! Let me know what you think when you get it.
This list makes a lot of sense to me, great review!
Thanks!
Thank you for helping me discover that Hasbro 300 Fett! I’ve been looking for a near-perfect Empire Strikes Back 3.75 inch figure to go along with the newer Vintage Collection Return of the Jedi styled Fett, and this one is the perfect addition! I’m not bugged by the lack of articulation, nor the firing feature, as I think it’s a fun thing to have as an option.
How do u not have more subscribers?! I came across ur channel by accident and have been addicted ever since! I've even opened up my figs and started mixing my collection together like ur background lol
We're still a pretty young channel but we're getting bigger all the time!
I don't know why my kid has not seen Star Wars but he knows Boba Fett
Congrats for the 10k subs :D
Thanks! It's exciting!
What about the 2007 Comic Pack Boba Fett? Or the animated debut Boba Fett?
Better than 300 Fett! He also didn't mention the flaming base part connecting to his Jetpack 2003-4 Boba Fett that looked neat as a display!
I haven't read ALL the comments, but where do you rank the 2007 Medicom Real Action Heroes (via Sideshow) 30th Anniversary Empire figure? It is fully articulated, with stand, and has a cloth costume (you have to dress it as it's fully metal). It doesn't have a removable helmet, but it does have adjustable range finder, and the paint is fairly close to screen painting.
I found that black series boba Fett figure for a good price......should I get it?
Mafex Empire Strikes Back Boba Fett is and will always be my favorite Boba Fett figure and the only one I'll ever need. But they have made many good ones indeed. Always good reviews my friend.
Terrific job on this list, came in handy for my hunt of yet another Boba for my collection. Wonder how you feel about the Super Shogun Boba by Funko/Super7? Personal fave.
I just opened my ESB Mafex Boba Fett after watching a combination of this video, the review(s), the "versus" series, etc. Pretty much all of your Mafex Fett videos. It's truly a masterpiece.

Weird, right? I mean, they could literally put out Fetts with the same frequency as Captain Americas, Spider-Mans or Iron Mans and they would sell.
Toy Galaxy I know right? They need to either have a set of evergreen characters that will always be around on shelves or do some assortments with the best of figures from past waves (Fett, maul, r2, Jedi Luke, anakin, etc) so that they can effectively kill the bootleggers.

Boba Fett is the classic story archetype in the tradition of the lone gunslinger, man without a face, mysterious stranger. The more they dip into the well of Fett and try to reveal more of his backstory, they dilute and diminish his appeal as a compelling character.
My top three favorite Star Wars figures are:
1. Darth Vader
2. Classic Storm Trooper
2. Boba Fett ( they tied for 2nd place LOL)
The 300 fett was the fire figure I bought with my own money. It inspired my love for fett and even led to a Boba Halloween costume made primarily of a milk carton, construction paper, and toilet paper tubes. I love that figure. A question though-- I have seen your comparison of the two Mafex Fetts, but i am still on the fence-- I prefer the ROTJ design, but I miss the extra pistol and am afraid of breaking the extra pipes on the sleeve.

That said... that second gun holster is just BARELY glued to the belt and falls off VERY easily. Mine came off while I was shooting the photos for this video and I don't know if I'm going to bother gluing it back on.
Can mafex boba fett do pose like Revoltech Version???
i think revoltech is better in articulation....
The one from the han/boba last Jedi 2 pack released 8 months after this video is amazing and is easily in the top ten now. Amazing proportions and colors that capture his essence. It like a 3.75 version of the 6” black series one.
No 1978/79 13" Boba Fett? Classic. Or the Transformers Slave 1 Boba Fett? Maybe not so classic.
Not sure about the '79 love the samurai fett but not sure about the rest(havent seen them) but great review.
Just got the 10 inch bobble head Funko Boba Fett and so impressed was I that I bought 2x 10inch White Trooper bobble heads to go one at each side they look Epic..... this in my mind is Boba going to see Vader for the Contract..
Great job! You should do a Boba Fett list that is all the 1979 Kenner figure. Because he is just that cool.
We'll get to it eventually.
Boba Fett was really smart to get 2 bounties in 1 with Han Solo giving Solo to Darth Vader then to Jaba.
Very helpful review for my decision what to buy. Thanks
You're welcome.
Toy Galaxy im getting the return of the Jedi rather than the empire strikes back Mafex. I like the color better
Up until this video came out I never realized Boba Fett had 2 different armors
wait boba wore jangos amore after made windo killed him right?
Lawson Wright yes
Yes!!! Totally agree for the most part. Thought the 300th would be higher but can't argue with your rationale.
One of the best 3 3/4" but hard to put it ahead of those six-inchers.
Toy Galaxy true. Love the Mafex. But I had also passed on the reimagining figures (more interested in screen accuracy) and the Bandai model cause I can't paint for crap so those are a little lower on my list.
Love the jango comment . Definitely lol'd
Toy Galaxy also, no love for the protos?
For the same reasons you said you passed on the re-imaginings I left the protos off. And, I mean, the protos really are just WHITE versions of pre-existing figures. So, I didn't want to take up 2 slots with Black Series AND BS Proto. Same with the 3 3/4". I would have had 6 slots devoted, essentially, to duplicates.
I have waited for this day for a long time...
It will be a day long remembered.
This was never a condition of our agreement, and neither was giving this post to that "bounty hunter"!
Sweet. another awesome vid, and you can never have too many Fetts(as you well know).
I'm testing that theory.
My Favorite Boba Fett action figure is the 6 inch Deluxe Return of the Jedi Black series one hands down 👍
Mmmm.... good review...Fett forever .... what about Funnko ..., and do so Review about The Mandalorian . 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Is number five the same as the fett legacy three pack
My Fett Legacy Collection Boba’s head has a white flight hood underneath instead of the pompadour shown in this. Good list- I like the black series best.
It caused me physical pain to see 2 Japanese warrior Fetts in there and still talk about screen accuracy with the others. Might as well throw in Mickey ears variations and other ridiculous mutations. Glad mafex came out on top though
Lol welcome back. you returned after a year?
Great review, I now have a fett fettish, sorry Bossky Bossk
Where does the Disney Store die-cast exclusive fall? Not on the list?
Number five was actually a repack from the 30th anniversary first release was in 2007 ...nice work man definitely some good fetts but the vintage fett can't be beat ...
Not for me it can't.
Honestly I think the black series boba fett deserves first place now after they released the deluxe edition of boba fett.
do you own all figures that you discuss in these sorta lists?
While I agree on your top 2 figures, you really should have made the model kit #3; his articulation and possibility are only second to the Mafex and with a little care it can look amazing. I spent almost 5 hours painting and weathering mine using Empire pica as reference for the scratches and bump and it makes the unpainted look like a bathtub toy....plus doing it yourself adds so much enjoyment

It has to be judged based on what they sold in the box. And the articulation and sculpt are good enough to merit it's placement on this list, but not in front of figures that come completed.
I probably would have put the 30th Mcquarrie Fett on here somewhere. I love that figure with the alternate head.
I hear that... but where would you have put it? Who would you take off the list?
3 months ago I got the black series Fett sealed on eBay for 75$ Canadian. Free shipping
STARWARS Collector have fun with it man. I got mine just about a year ago for $65 Canadian, still one of my favourites.
awesome! Mafex and black series Boba's all the way! Boo to making a samurai Fett(interesting concept, just don't think they quite pulled it off with the ugly helmet design and lack of weathering on the armor), that Play Arts Kai super hi-tech Boba Fett design sucks, what makes Fett's design unite is his hodge-podge, nomadic look, making him look like HALO's Master Chief, shows little understanding of the character. i can only wonder how Fett will look when his inevitable solo film hits theaters.
Yes to all of this. I don't expect them to keep the old Fett suit in the new appearances so I too am concerned about how much it gets updated.
Hey Dan, just curious, did you intentionally leave off the Evolutions 3pack Fett? Easily the best Boba for its time. God I miss the evolutions sets, that shirtless Darth Maul is still one of the best SW 3.75 figs ever made...bring Evolutions to 6in!!!
If I'm not mistaken it's the exact same mold as the 2009 Legacy Collection Fett that we put here on the list at #5. I went with the wider release figure since availability make it a "better" figure.
Is it? Lol I could've swore they were a little different but then again I haven't dug out either of them from their cardboard box resting places in a while so I'll take you at your word good sir!
BOBA FETT IS THE FAMOUS STAR WARS CHARACTER
Marmit's version is STILL by far the best, no competition.
I know you didn't include the Hot Toys Fett, but for the time, the 1997 Japanese Marmot Fett is the absolute best when it comes to 1/6th scale. As far as modern, check out the latest 2 pack, Han & Fett. That has to be the best sculpt on a newer Fett, much like they did with the newer Stormtroopers, it's an absolutely awesome sculpt, and finally get the helmet right. Oh and what about the mail in rocket Fett released on a vintage style card, a few years back It was finally the Fett we all wanted as a kid, when we found out the rocket mech had been removed. Of course nothing like you said beats the original 3.75", and 12" Fett's.
Yep, this video was done before that new Han/Fett 2 pack. But I do own that one and it really is the best modern 5 POA Fett for sure.
Where’s the 2010 mail-in Rocket-Firing Boba Fett?
You were right on with 1# and 2#
Just because it’s an old and og figure doesn’t mean it’s good. The figures don’t really look that good and the paint is just way off.

I've got a Chinese copy of the Ronin Boba Fett on order (it was even advertised as a Chinese copy so there was no pretence that it was a genuine item). I've seen a couple of reviews about copies of the Samurai Star Wars series and, apart from a couple of issues with the paint not being as vibrant as the genuine items and limbs falling off when being moved about, the general consensus is that they are pretty good! I'm more than confident the genuine item won't be 4 times better than my copy and the money I've saved will pay for the three other copies in the series I'm after!
The color difference wouldn't bother me, but the arms falling off? That's kind of a problem. I mean, if they can easily be put back on or fixed, that's one thing. But if they're broken? No thanks.
I got my £26 Chinese copy Ronin Boba Fett today and I can honestly say it is worth every bit of the £75 that I saved not buying the genuine item! Yes, it's not perfect, the paint is thinly applied in certain areas allowing some of the plastic underneath to be slightly visible and I did have a couple of limbs falling off but they just popped straight back in! The joints are quite loose and don't have the solid ratchet movement of the genuine item but once I found a pose I liked the figure was quite stable. I did get a duplicate knife instead of 6 different ones but nothing worth crying over! Apart from that I am perfectly happy with it! If I didn't know any better I would say this was a genuine item that didn't pass quality control (wouldn't surprise me if it was made in the same factory as the genuine item!) For anyone on a budget this is the perfect way to buy into the Samurai Star Wars universe!
Oh yeah, forgot to add that I'm not entirely sure why they settled on a turquoise colour for the armour instead of green. This applies for the genuine item as well as the copy. It does look nice but is just the wrong colour, kinda like giving C3P0 a red arm and nobody would ever dream of doing that...
Try applying super glues onto the joints and wait until they dry to thicken them (but don't put the arms back immediately).
Even without the Kenner version, the number 1 and 2 spots are obvious for anyone who knows Star Wars action figures or watch your videos. ;)
Guilty as charged.
What about the original 12"??????? 1979
alientoxictv09 , that what i said! Working range finder ?! C’mon right ?!?
I was really expecting Toy Box to be on the list, if not take the top spot.
I thought that the hot toys fett would have made number 1 on your list
We never put Hot Toys on the lists because they would always be number 1. What could possibly be better than HT? And once you know that... why bother with the list?
oh dan, sh figuarts isnt a safe bet. if you ever get a chance to get shf jango fett at a very very very low price please do a vs with hasbro jango fett.
i m aware the black series jango fett had a few problems but still it might have a chance to beat shf
Oh sure, I figure they're trying to figure out how to improve that Jango mold as we speak. Not their best figure. And you're right, if all they do is recycle it, BS has a chance to still be better.
If a Fett comes with a removable helmet, what do you want to see underneath?
Doesn't really matter to me. Depends on where they go with the story. If he's still a clone, if it's someone else who found the armor. We'll see.
Toy Galaxy i took the helmet off my vintage collection one for the first time and he has the same head as the vintage collection stormtrooper except with a white head sock on instead of black. would be cool if he was hux’s uncle who found the armor!
If only that Mafex wasn't so expensive
Ummmmmm.... where’s Hot Toys? Or even Sideshow???? Are they too good to be even mentioned?? These are all toys compared to those figures!
You should be on the world record for your Bobba collection 😉
Maybe someday.
Everyone knows all LEGO Boba Fetts are the best
Yup
The worst thing about Black Series Fett is the painful reminder of what Hasbro COULD do if they'd stay on the ball with quality paint apps.
Totally agree. BS Fett would be about a million times better just by giving him double jointed elbows.
NUMBER FIVES FACE GIVES ME NIGHTMARES
I'd say the Mafex still holds up as the best.
The only one I will have is the black series which as I type this is on it's way to me on a slow boat from China. I have a mere seven Bobas none of which made the list.
Have u seen the 6 ft tall Vintage Fett?!! Just saw 1 last week at Hollywood Studios, ERMAHGERD!!!
I've seen 2 or 3 of them in person. Can't afford one for myself.
Well we need to start u a GoFund me! lol
SH Figuarts has since released their Boba Fett. I prefer it to the revoltech one
They have a human sized original boba figure for sale at Disney world. It's thousands
I've seen it. So good. So expensive.
So, I take it you don't consider *Hot Toys, Sideshow, Medicom,* 12" figs to be "action figures"?
...Could have at least given them their due with honorable mentions. Seeing as how they are better than any figure on your list.
I consider them to be action figures, but I do not include them on our lists because they would always be number 1 due to their price point and materials. Where's the suspense in that?
Jason Smith as for the 1/6 scale if you like the ESB look go with the newest version of sideshow or the ROTJ go with hot toys both are nice and accurate to the movie. As for me I've always been a fan of ESB so I've bought the sideshow version.
Nice video
Could you do a 10 Best Spider-Man Figures video? I would really appreciate it! :D
And that explains how Bossk got his lipstick.
Black Series Boba Fett is the best boba Fett figure ever.
i dont know man, when i was a kid ALL of my favorite figures were in the 3 3/4" scale. and so when i started collecting figures in the late 80s all the stuff i wanted was in the 3 3/4" scale, and now honestly if stuff isnt in my scale i have zero interest. no matter how much modern collectors seem to love and embrace the 6" scale i have zero interest in it and i will not start my collection over again with 6" no matter how much the toy companies themselves are trying to push it. 35 years or so of collecting was great, guess its time to move onto to something else.
What are your thoughts on POP figures?
I own a few of them. For the most part I don't care for the cold, dead, shark eyes. It robs them all all personality. That said, there are several that don't have regular eyes that I think work well: anyone with a helmet really. And then I personally own Sharknado (shark eyes work here), Slimer and Voltron.
hot toys? 6"? there's a shop that sells that kind of stuff down near the train station.
#1 Sh Figuarts ROTJ Boba Fett
Damn, i love the mafex rotj but its like $400 :(
No Hot Toys Boba Fett figures?
i guess you do not have the medicom figure
It's weird, right, since he mentions other International figures???
No VOTC 2004 3 3/4 inch Boba? one of my favourite Boba's ever made
I really don't like the arms on that one. Everything seems a bit bulky. Great figure, but I only had 10 spots. Someone had to get cut.
