Sideshow 1:1 Boba Fett Bust

[Art Andrews]

Agree 100 %,,,,from seein this piece it makes you wonder if the SS crew has ever even watched Star Wars!

I looked at this again yesterday and still just don't get it. You look around Sideshow's booth and all you see are one amazing piece after another. It is truly shocking just how much attention they pay to detail... and then you look at Fett, and this is not even a detail... It is a MAJOR element! I just can't imagine anyone going "yeah, that will work."

 

[Weequay]

Is there no one in 'the know' that could ask the question to SSC?

Im genuinely interested in stuff like this, and for all we know there may even be a very good reason. I find it hard to believe theyn simply used the computer scan and no one questioned it.

Perhaps they knew the fault, but fifnt have the finance/time, or thought it simply wouldnt matter to its target audience.

I really would like to find out.

Looks like Boba ate something really sour!

 

[SpideyFett]

they should've had me repaint it.... but nooooooooooo... UGH.

Here's the rest..... BARRRF!!:sick

 

[Spiker]

They changed it and i like it very much to be honest:

 

[slave1pilot]

It's still awful.

 

[Qui-Gonzalez]

Agreed. It looks like washed out blech.

 

[Simmon M]

What did Sideshow use as reference for the color pallette?!?

 

[slave1pilot]

It's not just the pallette
The damage, RF colors, Chest symbol, earcap symbols, shoulder symbol, Wookiee braid colors, and the Chest armor size and shape are all wrong as well.
Yes, It's Boba, but not accurate by any stretch.

 

[Spiker]

Yes it is not accurate but it has that right "Fett-Look" which most of the costumes i have seen have not.

 

[OldKen]

Yes it is not accurate but it has that right "Fett-Look" which most of the costumes i have seen have not.

Seriously?

There is one that Bjorn just finished up. It's ROTJ SE but as you can tell this still looks more like ESB fett than the SS bust! LOL!http://www.therpf.com/f9/finished-1-1-rotj-se-boba-fett-statue-106530/

Have you ever seen Saxe Coburgs? Boba Fett Image Galleries - Costumes/Jon Wollack - Boba Fett

Do you know who Art Andrews is?

Have you heard of TDH?

:confused

 

[slave1pilot]

If only the folks at Sideshow had half the passion that OldKen has...

 

[tubachris85x]

Yea, the paint scheme is pretty bad.

At least they went back and fixed the visor..

Also, anyone notice that the last pic of the new bust line up, that in the backtround, there is a painting that is scrambled/blurred out, but in the second pic, the painting is not? :lol

 

[slave1pilot]

Just to point out an example of the glaring inaccuracies of this bust, let's take a quick look at the chest emblem.

Granted, the image on the right is an ROTJ emblem not an ESB, but they are the same Emblem.
Here are the big issues (smaller ones are also present, but negligible)
1. The outer blue ring is too thin
2.The "wheat" in the middle only has 5 crescents instead of the 6 (really Sideshow?)
3. The "F" doesn't have the triangle under the right side and just isn't shaped right to begin with.
4.The blue stripe in the middle tapers, the real one is parallel

 

[Spiker]

Yes seriously And i said MOST of the costumes and not all :cool

Yes, it is not accurate. Yes, many of the scratches have been painted wrong. But overall this bust has the right looks, which many representations of Fett have not (Talking about statues and figures).

 

[slave1pilot]

The overall look of Boba is subjective.
Yes the bust is recognizable as Boba, but so is this;

 

[apokai]

I still would love to have one... But living in Canada make it impossible to received it... And no one's got one to sell here. Damn it!

 

[streetjudge79]

Damn I hope that guy doesn't bend over, RIIIIIIIIIP! And looks like he has some crap stain in the front of his pants too... good god!

 

[SpideyFett]

Can't believe they still went with these colors. If they made the decision to change the visor they definitely thought about everything else and choose not to correct it. I know for a fact they were consulted about all the errors. This just shows that Sideshow does cut corners and thinks no one will notice.

Probably the reason why sales are not doing well on this product.:thumbsdown

Just to point out an example of the glaring inaccuracies of this bust, let's take a quick look at the chest emblem.

The chest emblem is the official LFL version. It's not costume accurate, but it's the one you see on nearly all official merchandise. Obviously, Sideshow didn't do any research to check it's accuracy.

The overall sculpt doesn't look too bad considering it's a bust, not a prop replica, but that paint job is awful.
