I have to admit as a kid, Boba Fett was a really cool figure. I wasn't too impressed with Kenner's 5 joint "action" figures but this one was way different. He's got armor, helmet, rocket pack, and what looked like weapons on his arms. Plus he was battle worn which was a creative change from the rest of the characters at the time.
Then there was this who thing of "Who is he?". We saw him first as some animation short during the...cough....Wookie Thanksgiving Special. I'm glad they found room in the Star Wars universe for him. Lame ass death though. Super lame.

Machineman- The one you were talking about is in there. Got him as a kid at some yard sale with a bunch of other vintage figures.

That Earthworm Jim figure looks awesome! Any chance of having clearer pics of that guy?

Fett was always my fav as a kid as well. My 12" Japanese Marmit Fett is one my favorite pieces in my collection. Blows away any of the other 12" Fetts that Hasbro did!

Yes!! I just recieved my Boba Fett, Ralph McQuarrie Concept figure in the mail. Though I admit that the accessories are a bit lame, the figure itself is still very cool. Heres some pics:

That's pretty cool. I want that one and the Storm Trooper. Hoping to find them in a Target or Wal-Mart or something.

For some reason I can never find any star wars toys at any toy stores where I live. The only ones I ever see are the lego ones (but i don't collect legos)

Methinks you guys have a Boba Fett addiction. In the category of 'I had to do it': was at a con recently and a guy in a great Boba Fett costume was coping a 'tude with me 'bout a droid game (one of the 501st's lottery/raffle/games). I had to ask in my most smart-@ss type of voice, "So... who's your daddy??" I could feel the guy blushing thru his mask, "Uh,... Move along!" Don't cop a 'tude with me and I won't snark back at ya. ;D ;D

Methinks you guys have a Boba Fett addiction. Addiction? Please...I only bought, oh say 10 figures on different websites and had to get a job over the summer to support this so called addiction. I'd hardly call it an addiction, more of a hobby.
