I can’t believe it’s been almost 5 years I’ve found the fwoosh reviews from Star Wars figures and I decided to start my collection. Now we are, watching this while I play with my boba fett. What a beautiful hobby 🖤 thanks Robo
Your final thoughts are exactly where Im leaning. Yes it comes out to over 100 bucks from BBTS, but on the other hand it does look a lot better than what we have seen from Hasbros deluxe throne room version. Going back and looking at the cheap plastic "skirt" and the lack of accessories really makes this one shine in comparison. Ive never gotten a SHF figure, but this may be my first and I will probably cancel the preorder for the Hasbro one.
once you get your first taste of high quality, you will never want to go back. I bought my first "high quality figure" a year ago, and I haven't bought black series or marvel legend since.
I have recently for the first time experienced the miracle that is DHL shipping from Japan, for the Mafex TDKR Armored Batman. Paid for it on a Friday, got the shipping notice from AmiAmi at like 2 AM Monday morning, had it in-hand Tuesday evening, just made me think "Dang, Robo wasn't kidding about that DHL shipping".
See? It is absolutely incredible. I've ordered things from a comic shop two hours away that have taken twice as long. I've only ever had one problem with DHL, my package came to the US, went to Belgium for some reason, then back to the US. Even then, it took three days.
Ok people… Robo is continuing to enjoy this hobby and stay positive despite our many warnings. Grab your pitchforks and torches. AND DO NOT FORGET TO HIT CAPS LOCK!!!
Great review, like this version of Boba and redesign in the BOBF, the contrast in colors and black really make the reds and green pop. Also noticed the promo helmet and visor difference to the final product, but still acceptable in the end. But one thing Bandai left out which was advertised in the promo, is the original silver or gold plug port where the chain code emanates from - now it's an ugly gaping hole!
Hmm, after seeing the final shots of the Black Series Boba Fett, I think I'm leaning more towards that one, personally. I love the cloth goods on the SHF, but, the whole thing definitely appears a bit too cartoony. At least to my liking. The figure still looks amazing though!
I've seen photos from folks who received their BS version and tbh the SHF is so much better, the moulded tunic onto the legs on the BS version looks very odd when the legs are wide apart. Since I've had the SHF version in my hands, I've no doubt made the right choice.
Really cool looking figure, like it has some soft goods. But that unmasked head with the wonky eyes is one of the funniest things I seen. Sorry you got unlucky with that mate. Great review!
When I first saw him step out in this outfit I thought, "hey Boba Fett made his own retro Kenner suit!!" I got the Black Series Deluxe ROTJ Boba Fett. There was a head glued under the helmet..... I couldn't resist. It had a hat with a hole in the top glued on the head. A spacer I'm guessing. Got the hat off and the glue residue spoke to me. A little sanding, a little paint, and I had the sun blistered, Sarlacc scarred Boba Fett from the Mandolorian. A little creative sewing, a little more paint and I had the soft good Black Series Deluxe Mandolorian Boba Fett. But I had already ordered this s.h. figuarts version so I sold the one I made online... After seeing this I'm wondering if my online buyer would be interested in trading.🥴 Sad to see I paid over $100 for something I gotta fix..😩 and I ain't even got it yet... Great review as always though👍
The visor is wider compared to promotional pictures for a simple reason its not painted, its a separate piece of plastic, like in model kits. They probably widened it to prevent breakages at the factory. There is another thing bugging me though: head on mine comes off the peg very easily, theres no audible or palpable pop either. With the scarf it came off in the package. Do you have the same problem perhaps? I wodner if the neck peg is oriented properly....
Btw robo I think you can still call the slave 1 as slave 1, the name mentioned in TBOBF is actually the model name of the ship. Slave 1 is actually a call sign as far as I know. Disney never really said it’s outright illegal to still call slave 1 by its call sign
While I have the Hasbro BS on order, I'm definitely happy with this figure. The unhelmeted headsculpt is lacking but everything else is great especially the articulation considering the bulkiness of his robes. Hoping we can get his BoBF appearance in figure form soon.
Nobody's going to bring up the mispaint on the helmet curvature beneath the visor? Why is it painted black instead of a darker green? Or is it just the lighting? Would've been cool if the helmet had a tinted translucent visor over black paint too, especially for the price, but 🤷🏻♂️
Seriously this is such a glaring misstep that it was the first thing I saw when looking at the helmet. It makes me thankful I didn't shell out over $100 for this, it makes the whole thing look cheap and frankly terrible.
@@sithlord715 I was looking around on the shows as well as props, and apparently my eyes are just crap because the new paint scheme is practically black. Honestly I can't even get a consistent color palet online either. Still won't take back what I said about the visor, though.
Boba unmasked head looks like the great late Peter Boyle from Young Frankenstein hahah I immediately thought of his look in the movie lol. Also i wonder if you could swap heads with the Jedi boba onto the new rearmored boba so he has that squinting eyes look instead of the cartoon look...? I don't think the paint and all that jazz will match but the look might be better. Sweet review always fun watching your vids!
I’m so glad you ended up liking this figure. I was honestly worried he was going to be like the first Beskar Mandalorian figure you reviewed 😬 Hopefully the S2 Beskar Mandalorian is as good as this Boba.
Really like this one. Head is just the slightest bit small. Just an idea that if you switch the scarf thing for a cloth one, it'd be accurate still, have better articulation and possibly help with the head?
DHL is amazing. Looks like I got a better set of eyes on my Boba. Overall happy with the figure though, love the accesories. I'll be interested to see how your Din head came out, dissapointed with mine.
Is Boba using Mando's gloves? They seem to have the same design with arrow pointing armor. I guess he just didn't only get the armor but also scavenged Din's wardrobe.
So cool seeing Temurea doing his best Sloth from Goonies impression here. 😄 We have officially arrived to point where Black Series (for all its flaws) do better headsculpts than SH Figuarts.
Wonder why DHL has been sleeping on mine, got the shipping notification on Friday and then watched it sit in Osaka all weekend long, not expected until Thursday =(
Didn't get this one, didn't even realize it was a thing till a week ago or so. Hopefully Mafex releases a Boba and Mando (hopefully with the dark saber since we haven't gotten one outside of black series)
Im waiting on a book of Boba Fett version with the less baggy trousers and back skirt instead of him just having the armor over his tusken raider outfit.
@@TheFwoosh "Jango in Boba colors" is very fitting. I'm definitely excited for us to get figures of his main look in the show in 6" scale. The design just looks so sleek.
Besides both mando's mainly because the harness & rifle pieces weren't great & the articulated grogu which were still pretty good at best figures. I think the figuarts star wars line is hitting it out the park with some of their latest releases like with ig-11, paz vizsla, the armorer and now boba fett. I can't say anything about the recent mando yet because i waited to long into amazon jp sold out🤦. I'm pretty hype for the luke skywalker that's out next month and the visions am & karre that I was finally able to pre order through Amazon jp. I still waiting for the moff Gideon pre order to drop. Which I'm surprised it's taking this long when they had promotion pics up for it with luke like in November of last year. Hopefully they don't go silent for another year and have more releases planned like ashoka, bo-katan, fennec, krrsantan, cad bane, b.o.b.f. ver boba or even their dozens & dozens of unreleased prototypes.
Hey robo say if you did use the the cobb vanth helmet I think it would look good but I can see the way you said it was a bit big and I can see that but one thing I can’t unsee is the visor on the helmet the visor is bigger than usual but I respect your opinion and keep up the great work can’t wait for more great stuff
This is my fav look for boba fett, it's sad for me that they changed this for the book of boba fett. Anyways, the figure looks amazing (the head not much :T) I will try to get one or make a custom or something hahaha
I actually like the BoBF look better, streamlined, but this is up on the list too. Looking, it's really just swapping the upper legs and changing out the belt. Hmmm.
I don’t know much about figurines but in terms of comparison to the show I feel like somethings off about the helmet other than the proportion of it and I can’t figure it out. It had to do with the T shaped part, I feel like it’s more cartoonish or almost feminine looking because the eye part is bigger? And the helmet is much more round than the original one. Other than that everything looks good!
It’s a great day when Fwoosh uploads a Star Wars review
It really, really is!
Just when I thought I was gonna have a bad day. Boom. Notification for The Fwoosh!
*Star Wars notification from The Fwoosh!
Haha, my day always gets a little better when I get a Star Wars figure, so we're both shooing dark clouds!
@@TheFwoosh it’s true! I think I speak for all of us when I say that your uploads make our day 10x better :)
Now every time I see something Boba Fett, the BoBF theme just starts playing in my head.
Bo...ba...FETT! Doo dododdoddd odoododod
Same 😂
Yup!
I can’t believe it’s been almost 5 years I’ve found the fwoosh reviews from Star Wars figures and I decided to start my collection. Now we are, watching this while I play with my boba fett. What a beautiful hobby 🖤 thanks Robo

You could wait for Mafex even do they haven’t announced something and they take forever to release when they do it’s great

DHL is obscenely fast. I once had a ML from Amazon and a Mafex from AmiAmi ship out on the same day and got the DHL figure two days earlier.
Ok people… Robo is continuing to enjoy this hobby and stay positive despite our many warnings. Grab your pitchforks and torches. AND DO NOT FORGET TO HIT CAPS LOCK!!!
YOU'LL NEVER TAKE AWAY MY JOY!
Everytime we get a primus reference from Robo it makes my day. Excellent review!
Man I want his look from the Book of Boba most of all. I really liked his look there.
You should look into one twelve garage cancelling people's orders for the batman beyond batmobile after having them wait so long
I like to think DHL is staffed entirely by speedsters. Collector speedsters. With good work ethic. Who are paid bonuses for fast delivery.
Gotta be, and if so, worth EVERY penny.
German work ethic

This just made my day!!! Thank goodness for Fwoosh notifications
I almost spit out my drink at 16:24 when I saw the Watcher watching. Nice Easter Egg!

I think his helmet is actually slightly smaller in the show compared to the ot design
Yeah, I've heard they've done some tweaking, that it doesn't match the original helmet completely. I need to do more research.
Really cool looking figure, like it has some soft goods. But that unmasked head with the wonky eyes is one of the funniest things I seen. Sorry you got unlucky with that mate. Great review!
Figure looks badass!
Preordered this on release date several months ago. Shipping notice came 3 days ago. Product arrived today
This has gotta be best shf star wars by far. Very solid.
GUSSSSS! Great to see him again after his cameo in the Book of Boba Fett episode 5 walking into the star bus
It’s nice the jet pack has the blast effects for the rocket. That’s the one thing I think was missing from the TBS RoTJ boba.
Respect from Montreal, Robo ! (Waiting for mine, your review gives me patience & calm)
When I saw the head I immediately thought of Sloth from Goonies. Great review.
Weird observation but this has got to be the most funny giggity noises he's made in a video and I love it.
Always appreciate the comparisons you do to other figures.
Just got this delivered today can’t wait to open it up when I’m off work
13:16
I cross my eyes to see enemies coming both ways
Oooo, now that's some hardcore training!
Mine arrives by Thursday! Great review!!
03:12 'Behind The Blaster: The Bounty Hunters of the Empire' - Is this your new documentary project in the Star Wars universe? Love it
Just got home to mine, so pumped right now. Let's Go!!!
When I first saw him step out in this outfit I thought, "hey Boba Fett made his own retro Kenner suit!!"
I got the Black Series Deluxe ROTJ Boba Fett.
There was a head glued under the helmet..... I couldn't resist.
It had a hat with a hole in the top glued on the head. A spacer I'm guessing.
Got the hat off and the glue residue spoke to me. A little sanding, a little paint, and I had the sun blistered, Sarlacc scarred Boba Fett from the Mandolorian. A little creative sewing, a little more paint and I had the soft good Black Series Deluxe Mandolorian Boba Fett.
But I had already ordered this s.h. figuarts version so I sold the one I made online...
After seeing this I'm wondering if my online buyer would be interested in trading.🥴
Sad to see I paid over $100 for something I gotta fix..😩 and I ain't even got it yet...
Great review as always though👍
I just got mine today! What timing! Yeah I'm gonna pass on the Black Series version. This just blows it out of the water!
The visor is wider compared to promotional pictures for a simple reason its not painted, its a separate piece of plastic, like in model kits. They probably widened it to prevent breakages at the factory. There is another thing bugging me though: head on mine comes off the peg very easily, theres no audible or palpable pop either.

Btw robo I think you can still call the slave 1 as slave 1, the name mentioned in TBOBF is actually the model name of the ship. Slave 1 is actually a call sign as far as I know.
Disney never really said it’s outright illegal to still call slave 1 by its call sign
Woah, where'd you get that Cad Bane head?! I absolutely need one of those! I think a new Fwoosh play date is in order!
Can you give us an updated Star Wars collection?
i like this figure. i really cant complain, its boba fett! will look great on your star wars shelf, pick him up at a good price
While I have the Hasbro BS on order, I'm definitely happy with this figure. The unhelmeted headsculpt is lacking but everything else is great especially the articulation considering the bulkiness of his robes. Hoping we can get his BoBF appearance in figure form soon.
"...and now his name is Mud." - LMAO!! Cannot stop laughing 🤣
Now I can't unsee that T visor thing. It was still a great video though!!!🥳👍👍
Awesome Cad custom 👍
My Favorite is Robo and Star Wars I think I need to buy two Bobas really nice 👍
Omg. The first shot
Nice to see Mr. Fett practicing proper trigger discipline.
I seriously can''t get over that wide visor it looks like those old Habro toy helmets...
when you get the TBS Throne Room Boba, could you put that helmet on this one the same way you did Cobb’s?
Nobody's going to bring up the mispaint on the helmet curvature beneath the visor? Why is it painted black instead of a darker green? Or is it just the lighting? Would've been cool if the helmet had a tinted translucent visor over black paint too, especially for the price, but 🤷🏻♂️

Would love to see a custom boba fett you’ve mentioned. Is it done?
i always go for the DHL option with HLJ. :) I always have issues with FEDEX dropping the ball in customs and takes an extra 2-3 days.
Beautiful!!! And i somehow totally missed out…anyone know anyplace that has these in stock, or if a 2nd run is planned???
YES! The return of the winning lottery number! It's been too long.
Died laughing with " oh pretty pictures and Slaaaa uh Firespray"
Wow love the Jason Vorhees head sculpt!
Really like this one. Head is just the slightest bit small. Just an idea that if you switch the scarf thing for a cloth one, it'd be accurate still, have better articulation and possibly help with the head?
Excellent as always , he looks great
Always happy to see Robo review star wars. This looks good I may have to get this one instead the the BS. 🤔
DHL is SO fast!
Great review, opening mine now.
I was thinking about buying this one
DHL is amazing. Looks like I got a better set of eyes on my Boba. Overall happy with the figure though, love the accesories. I'll be interested to see how your Din head came out, dissapointed with mine.

Mention Primus and make my day! Thanks ROBO!
Is Boba using Mando's gloves? They seem to have the same design with arrow pointing armor. I guess he just didn't only get the armor but also scavenged Din's wardrobe.
Bandai 💯 seems to have no manufacturing issues. Missed out on the PO , before I decided to drop Black . Hasbro Designers LOOK!!!!
1:01 saving that for later
Why is the see through blue jolly rancher ironman up on the mic?
So cool seeing Temurea doing his best Sloth from Goonies impression here. 😄 We have officially arrived to point where Black Series (for all its flaws) do better headsculpts than SH Figuarts.

DHL utilizes teleportation these days. It's pretty wild.
Man I can’t even find this available to purchase in my country, even looking on import sited
Fennec review next? And don’t forget Son of Coul comparison!
Can the skirt be removed safely and replaced by a custom skirt? Looks a bit puffy to me. Would like to make a wired version
Im waiting on a book of Boba Fett version with the less baggy trousers and back skirt instead of him just having the armor over his tusken raider outfit.
I really like this one but that BoBF is my absolute favorite look, almost Jango in Boba colors.
@@TheFwoosh "Jango in Boba colors" is very fitting. I'm definitely excited for us to get figures of his main look in the show in 6" scale. The design just looks so sleek.
What is the drill bit set your references
Exactly the video i was looking for👏

You would have to paint it two for it too look good

Can you post a link to where we can get this please? Thanks!
Are his knee pads removable I've got plans to customize it and I was wondering thanks in advance
I work at DHL, so thank you.
You guys are KILLING it!
Where did you order this from? I can't find it other than the sideshow one
Also is the hasbro one gonna come out brown or are they gonna fix that
Hyped af to get this
The Fwoosh
Dope review 🔥🔥
I think his "OG blaster" might be zeros from the prisoner episode.
Holding out for a Book of Boba version
How do you have this already?
THE WATCHER!
did anyone notice him in the left top corner?
tried reading all the comments to check, but it's impossible. lol
Got a link to where we can purchase this guy?
I got a few Boba Fett bandais, and I don't understand why most of the figures from Japan are expensive.
I don’t know much about figurines but in terms of comparison to the show I feel like somethings off about the helmet other than the proportion of it and I can’t figure it out. It had to do with the T shaped part, I feel like it’s more cartoonish or almost feminine looking because the eye part is bigger? And the helmet is much more round than the original one. Other than that everything looks good!
Face looks more like Sloth from the Goonies but everything else looks really good.
As Hasbro creeps up in price, it’s $30 saved. I’m getting Hasbro. I like the more toy like structure more. He still looks bad azz.
