Interesting choice. It makes sense from the point of view that this is (almost inexplicably) a very popular character and that there might be those who need a chance to get one, having missed earlier releases (which have sold out or become grossly overpriced). On the other hand, the character has been done to death (what is it, two Hot Toys versions, two or more Sideshow, Medicom, not to mention Kenner/Hasbro, etc), and the recourse to early test colors to "justify" making a different version is only slightly more compelling than the porcelain or gold stromtroopers they did some time ago. I suppose there is a market for these, among HT completists, Star Wars completists, and most of all perhaps customizers who want an ESB or ROTJ Boba Fett but find this less expensive than the secondary market prices for any of the currently available versions and plan to repaint the relevant parts to achieve the desired look. Yet, this would have been so much easier to produce than something entirely new, and I'm rather underwhelmed by the minimal weathering and the resulting lack of realism. Can't help but feel this to have been a sly and exploitative decision. And with the world in shambles, I do wonder if it would pay off. Personally, I suspect that a new release of a "real" ESB or ROTJ Boba Fett would have done just as well, if not better. And of course, I would have really preferred a release of another character altogether, while realizing the pool of possibilities might be small if one hopes for a character as popular as this and not yet produced by HT -- though Lando or ESB Han are probably viable alternatives (sorry, Lobot). But I really should thank HT for sparing my wallet at least this challenge.

Couldn’t agree more with everything you said, Guv.

Yikes. $255 at Sideshow.

Yes... considering I wouldn't buy it for $45, it's making the choice very easy for me.

Maybe it is $200 for the figure and $55 for the type of box? If this had a mail-in for a droid type of gimmick, I would buy it. That mythos version is $5 less and it comes with lightsabers and a poncho. I just notice that the Wookie braids are both blonde.

Yeah, I like the Mythos version. I started to put mine together, but got caught up with too many other projects. I only need ONE Fett.

I first thought, hmm, he looks odd, the color feels all wrong, especially the green looks cheap.

But then I read it's vintage! Now I have to like it. 255$, why not?

Nah.
