The galaxy’s most notorious bounty hunter made a high-altitude return to The Vintage Collection in 2019 as part of a high-demand reissue wave. While originally appearing in 2010, this 2019 version of Boba Fett captures his definitive appearance from The Empire Strikes Back with modern manufacturing refinements. This release was a vital "get" for collectors who missed the initial launch, providing a premium 3.75-inch scale version of the character that emphasizes the battered, veteran aesthetic of the hunter as he tracks the Millennium Falcon to Bespin.
Technical Details & Sculpt
- Design & Mandalorian Silhouette: The sculpt features the specialized Mandalorian battle armor, precisely reflecting the asymmetrical plates and utility pouches seen during the Cloud City pursuit. The figure captures Fett’s silent, predatory profile, standing as a menacing centerpiece to any Imperial or underworld formation.
- Deco & Weathered Bespin Palette: The 2019 release is defined by its improved high-contrast paint application. The green chest plates and helmet feature realistic silver "chipping" to simulate heavy combat wear. A standout screen-accurate detail is the braided Wookiee scalps draped over the shoulder, rendered with distinct textural detail.
- Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The ball-jointed neck and specialized "rocker" ankles are essential for this figure, allowing Boba to maintain a stable, wide-stanced aiming position with his carbine.
- Display Utility: This is the mandatory "antagonist" for any Star Destroyer Bridge or Carbon-Freezing Chamber diorama. He is best positioned alongside Darth Vader (VC08) or standing over Han Solo in Carbonite.
Accessories & Equipment
Boba Fett comes prepared to collect his bounty with a complete Mandalorian arsenal. He includes his signature EE-3 carbine rifle, featuring a dark metallic finish and a detailed scope. A standout feature of the 2019 release is the removable Mitrinomon Z-6 jetpack, which pegs securely into the back and features precisely painted thrusters and fuel tanks. Additionally, the figure includes a movable rangefinder on the helmet, allowing collectors to transition from a resting state to a "targeting" pose. The inclusion of the soft-goods cape (half-cloak) adds a final layer of cinematic texture, allowing for natural movement during high-action poses.
