Toyguide Update: Boba Fett (CW32)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with our look back at some of the older Clone Wars figures that we have yet to add to the archives. We continue with everyone’s favorite bounty hunter, Boba Fett (CW32).
PROS: Hasbro pulled out all of the stops for this version of the Boba Fett when compared to the previous “UBP” version. This one is loaded with articulation which ball-joints everywhere, even the hips, resulting in a figure that can be posed and infinite number of ways look great doing it. The deco, overall sculpt and likeness to the animated character is spot on and the addition of the jetpack and harness are great touches, too.
CONS: This was again, one of the more rare Clone Wars figures in 2010 which was a shame because it is such a fine figure.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth tracking down for your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
