What a time to be a Boba Fett fan. Not only did we see Fett return in the Disney+ hit series The Mandalorian, but the iconic bounty hunter got his own series, The Book Of Boba Fett. On top of all this, we also got some amazing merchandise as well. From action figures to statues Boba Fett collectors have had a lot to choose from. Thanks to Diamond Select Toys and Gentle Giant Ltd. that list just keeps growing and growing. One item from Gentle Giant Ltd. many fans are wanting to get their hands on is the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Boba Fett Milestones 1/6 Scale Statue.
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Boba Fett Milestones 1/6 Scale Statue
Diamond Select Toys and Gentle Giant Ltd. have given Fett fans a lot of great items to look forward to. One of these items that was just released this month is the new Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Boba Fett Milestones 1/6 Scale Statue. This Boba Fett statue takes us to Jabba’s throne room with his blaster ready just in case anything goes down.
Retailing at $250 this 1/6 scale statue stands at about 12-inches tall and features detailed sculpting and paint applications. Now when this statue was first announced most pre-orders sold out pretty fast. And with it being limited to 1000 pieces you can understand why. Well, thanks to our friends over at Diamond Select Toys and Gentle Giant Ltd I was able to get one of these Fett statues to review for you. So without any more waiting here is a look at the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Boba Fett Milestones 1/6 Scale Statue.
Pros Of The Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Boba Fett Milestones 1/6 Scale Statue
- If you are one of the collectors that like to leave your items in the Box this Boba Fett Statue’s box looks great. With pictures of the statue on the front and sides and a picture of Boba Fett and a brief summary of the statue on the back; this box will look good displayed as is.
- This statue is also packaged very well. It fits securely between two styrofoam pieces and is wrapped up as well to protect the paint.
- The Statue comes with two pieces, Boba Fett and the Base so it is very easy to set up and display.
- The detailed sculpting and paint applications do an amazing job of bringing this sixth-scale statue to life. From the holes in his cape to the weathered look of the armor, sculptor Joe Menna did an amazing job capturing Fett as he stands on guard in Jabba’s throne room.
- Weighing in at over three pounds and coming with a wide base that also uses magnets and a peg to secure them together, this statue displays well with a good center of gravity and is very sturdy on the base.
- Each Boba Fett statue comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
Cons Of The Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Boba Fett Milestones 1/6 Scale Statue
- While this statue is packaged very well I did have an issue with Fett’s range finger being a little bent. After letting it set out for a while it got some of its shape back. But I had to use a hairdryer to get it back to normal.
- The weather and used look on the armor look great there are a couple of spots that looked a little rushed on the helmet but not bad enough to take away from its amazing details.
- While not really a con, there are some parts of this statue you have to be careful with. The range finder, blaster, cape, and smoke on the base are all made from the same material as the statue. With that being said they all stick out at certain points on the statue and can easily be bumped or hit. So like any statue you get just be careful.
- With only 1000 made this statue did sell out very fast due to pre-orders.
My Final Thoughts
As a Boba Fett fan, I love this statue. Diamond Select Toys and Gentle Giant Ltd. once again delivered a great limited edition product. The look of this statue is amazing and could easily be the centerpiece of any Boba Fett collection. like I said earlier this statue is sold out at most places, if lucky you can possibly find one at your local comic shop. But with that being said there is some good news.
Gentle Giant Ltd still has the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi – Boba Fett (International Edition) Milestone Statue available. This (International Edition) statue is also limited to 1000 pieces. The one catch to getting this is that you have to be a Guild Member to order it. Whichever one of these Boba Fett statues you end up getting you will not be disappointed. The Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Boba Fett Milestones 1/6 Scale Statue is a must-have for your collection.
