Ralph McQuarrie’s Boba Fett Gets New Statue From Sideshow

Sideshow is bringing out a Boba Fett statue based on Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back illustrator Ralph McQuarrie's vision.

This particular version of Boba Fett won't look how we've come to expect, but it was the original idea for the character. Boba Fett was supposed to be a "super" Stormtrooper, but evolved over time into the fearsome bounty hunter.

Boba Fett has been made by Jeronimo Argerich, Simon Garcia, Chadwick Andersen, Bernardo Esquivel, and the Sideshow Design and Development Team.
