Since the figure was revealed back in July 2016, collectors have voiced their concern about the incorrect rank badge given to the Grand Admiral Thrawn figure from Star Wars Rebels. Initial shipments did feature the improper coloration, but now, our friends at From 4-LOM to Zuckuss report a running change which corrects the oversight. Alas, the card art still features the wrong color break.
Both versions are on eBay right now for those that need further confirmation.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today as we take a look at the Ralph McQuarrie Concept Artist Series Boba Fett Statue from Sideshow Collectibles.
PROS: An absolutely stunning rendition of Ralph McQuarrie’s concept for the super commando Boba Fett. The application of the paint to bring out the definition in the armor and flight suit is fantastic. The pose is dynamic and looks as if it’s ready to leap off of the Slave I inspired base. This version includes the exclusive, iconic T-visor helmet that can be switched out for the original design of the Boba Fett helmet, which I find preferable for display.
CONS: Price is the biggest obstacle that collectors will encounter with this piece.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery to judge for yourself whether this piece is worth adding to your collection.
