Pretty cool.  I want one in 1/100 scale.  I would love a Ghost X-9 toy with that glossy red.

 

I was expecting it to be 1/100 for some reason, but it seems slightly bigger than that. What i love is you can clearly see spike's head and hands from that close up frontal pic. It is an oddie in my collection, and I don't even know where to put it. One thing is certain, I really like it. The sad part is that i got it on sale, which may mean Bandai wont release Fay's Redtail. We will see what happens.

I gave up on wishing for a proper Ghost X-9, but i agree, I'd look lovely in that color.

I’ve waited a lifetime to get this figure.

While it doesn’t quite live up to the hype (I’ve heard people say they were disappointed with SHF Jango Fett, but I would argue The Jango figure is better in some ways), I’d agree it is the best 1/12 Boba Fett figure ever made and I’m very happy to have it.

  Nice @sh9000!

paging @sqidd, another one of those big, top on the line style figures for you.

Yep, saw that!!! We'll see what they're going for once release. I could maybe talk myself into a grand. But if they're $1500+, no way. I don't even really know anything about Gundam. I just think that looks cool! And it's HUGE!!

I need to get some sort of Fet or another. You guessed it. Something big. Man, when I was a kid I was a Boba Fet freak! I remember saving up all of my "tokens" from figure purchases so I could send them in and get then Boba Fet you couldn't buy yet. I was so excited!!

Yeah, I was kinda surprised preorders sold out instantly at around $1k. Probably worth it in the end if you got that price though. I had to pass.

Since it's such a new market I'm wondering what will happen on release date. Will you be able to get them on AmazonJP for the PO price? Or will they be $1500+ right away? Just have to wait and see.

I want to see that line succeed. I would absolutely pay for a similar VF-1S w/ S&S parts, EVA-01 or Mazinger.

I wish someone made a quality Terminator T-800 that was actually chrome and big. Sideshow has that 1/2 scale deal. But it's $2,000+ and it doesn't pose at all. Then there is the 1:1 scale dude for $7000. A 18in Terminator in metal, or some metal but at least chrome and I'm a buyer.

Yeah, one of my all time favorite characters. If you want bigger, I recommend the Hot Toys 1/6.

Hanging out in my detolf that needs to be raised;)

If you need bigger, check out the sideshow website, I think they have 1/4 versions and even full size.

I don't have a mannequin for it, though...

...nor any space to display it if I did.  :unsure:

So sweet! That’s my ultimate collection goal to have a full size replica Boba Fett suit. I’m glad the BS helmet is coming soon. I know they aren’t the greatest but for the price, I really like my Vader and Stormtrooper helmets.

When I was in 3rd grade or so, which must have been after Star Wars/ before Empire some kid at school had the really nice Darth Vader helmet for Halloween. Man, I was sooooooo jealous!

Got my first couple of Detolfs together yesterday. Freed up some room so I unpacked a two pair of M&M's (1/48 and 1/60). I wanted to get the last pair (1/48's) unpacked and go Battroid but it's getting late. They're just kind of parked in there for now. Yeti stands and stuff are inbound. And I need some lighting.

The 1/48 Miria is missing it's cockpit heat shield. aside from being a tiny bit loose it was really minty and not missing a thing. That's disappointing. I messaged the eBay seller. I always seem to get screwed on that stuff though. No telling how that will go.

Yeah, another thing I’ve been waiting a lifetime for. Wasn’t willing to pay the price for anything before but the Black Series Helmets are a perfect match of price and look for me.

@sqidd - If you get Boba in 1/6 scale, you can also add the eventual Mandalore to the collection.

I posted this on the 1/6th thread, don't know if you have seen it.

Going to see the Mandalore episodes when it gets aired.

The Mandalore Live show should be airing very soon..

Just arrived 2 1/2 hours ago via Amazon for 16,182 yen (like new and from a 3rd party seller) to YVR. My non-PF 1/60 M&M is now complete.

Can't wait to receive mine today (DHL is out for delivery)! Looks really nice from your photo. Some reviewer have shown loose hip joint. Any problem with any joints in your copy?

Now I'm really looking forward to Unit 02 as I think it looks better than 01. Hope Bluefin doesn't screw us over!

Hip joints aren't super tight but not really loose either. At least not any worse than any of my MB Gundams, so far.

I have Unit 02 on PO through a seller in eBay, my experience so far is not good for PO on eBay. I hope this one will come through. Was debating if I am going for both, but I might not be successful on the 02 after all. Will see if I can be lucky after release if that failed.

Thanks for sharing about the joint, hopefully mine will be ok too. I am prepared to deal with a loose hip joint if it does come to that. Using Future floor polish and some patient will most likely improve things enough.
