• This Boba Fett (Prototype Armor) figure was released single boxed in September 2022 exclusively through Amazon.com
• The figure is a re-issue of the Boba Fett (Prototype Armor) figure from 2014
• Differences between the 2014 and 2022 figures:
  • The date stamps on the bottom of the feet: 2014 version reads 2013 - 2022 figure reads 2020
  • Brown production numbers on the inside of the left thigh on the 2014 figure are gone on the 2022 figure
  • Leg details are slightly more pronounced on the 2022 figure
  • Use the compare tool to look at both figures side by side
• The figure is a repainted version of the regular released Boba Fett figure, which is unfortunate because it makes this figure quite inaccurate when compared to the suit Duwayne Dunham wore in the famous black and white video which Ben Burt narrated
• Boba's helmet is not removable
• The range-finder on the helmet is static
• The jetpack plugs nicely into a hole in the back of the figure
• The rocket in the jetpack is not removable
• The soft-goods cape, the chest armor, the belt and the pouches are not removable
• The figure is able to hold the two weapons beautifully in both hands (with patience the index finger can be placed onto the trigger which looks great)
• The basic blaster fits well into the holster
• The Boba Fett figure reviewed here had stiff joints which allowed for it to be displayed in more dynamic battle poses

How close is this figure compared to the actual Prototype Armor?

• The blasters are inaccuarte when compared to the Prototype Armor Boba Fett (a detail Hasbro got right on the 3 3/4inch Prototype Armor Boba Fett figure)
• The holster is completely wrong
• The cape is wrong (they used a Star Wars beach towel on the Prototype armor)
• The rocket is missing the "spikes"
• Hasbro took a lot of liberty when painting this figure, the jetpack and the gauntlets on both arms have for the most part the wrong details highlighted
• The Prototype Armor Boba Fett didn't have Wookiee braids hanging over the shoulder
• It's unfortunate that Hasbro took so many shortcuts on such a beloved costume
• There is currently a video available on StarWars.com which shows the prototype armor quite beautifully: http://www.starwars.com/watch/meet_boba_fett.html
• Despite a lot of inaccuracies when compared to the original Prototype Armor there is just something extremely cool about this white Boba Fett figure, but considering that this is the costume which started it all for this cool character, more care from Hasbro was needed for this release

Before he put on the Mandalorian armor, this bounty hunter was initially envisioned as a "super trooper" in all-white. This figure captures the beginning of a characer that's become a legend... Boba Fett.
