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.
The Sideshow exclusive edition also features a swap out helmet design with Fett's T-shaped visor. Both this and the regular version will cost $430, and pre-orders are open now.
