Toyguide Update: Boba Fett “Bounty #239” Mythos Statue
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with a look at the Boba Fett – Bounty #239 Statue, the latest statue to be released from Sideshow’s Star Wars Mythos line.
PROS: You’d be hard pressed to find anything wrong with the pieces in the Mythos line and this one is no different. Top to bottom, the Boba Fett statue is an amazing achievement in sculpt, paint and presentation.
CONS: A gorgeous piece only limited by its premium price tag.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with an entry dump covering the first wave of Saga Legends figures.

I’ll go on record again saying that I love them and can appreciate them for what they are – an inexpensive alternative play pattern for kids with a bit of nostalgia thrown in for collectors who grew up in a simpler time.
