Toyguide Update: VC61 Boba Fett (Prototype Armor)

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Boba Fett – Prototype Armor (VC61) mailaway from The Vintage Collection.

PROS: This never-before-offered figure looks striking both on and off the card. Nice paint apps where applicable and uses a great sculpt as a base. Shipping now and in a reinforced shipping mailer.

CONS: Being a kitbashed figure, it’s not entirely accurate in terms of accuracy to the test costume, namely the inclusion of the holster. Another Boba Fett mailaway? Hopefully Hasbro ventures out to other Star Wars characters for the next one. This figure is part of the sequential number system usually reserved for figures available at retail.

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.

You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.

VC34 Jango Fett

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Jango Fett from the Vintage Collection’s Attack of the Clones wave (Wave 4).

PROS: Pretty much the definitive Jango in terms of sculpt and accessories. Re-worked, scene specific gauntlets are a nice touch as is the new jetpack and missile.

CONS: The gauntlet blades are not removable (i.e. they are deployed all the time). Overall color of the jumpsuit seems to still be “off” a bit but it’s a vast improvement over the grape flavored version included in the recent Geonosis Arena set.

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
