Boba Fett (Bagged) | |
What we have here is the Boba Fett
figure that some poor little Mexican kids had to play with. I guess the poor
quality of the Lili
Ledy line wasn’t bad enough because a lot of enterprising individuals
decided to make even crappier versions of the Star Wars line.
This Fett really is a cool piece though. It comes bagged with a header card. I really think the artwork on these Mexican header cards and cardbacks is what makes them. Check out the Ree-Yees pictured on this one. Who is he waving too? This thing is so goofy. The figure itself is shot in purple and is completely unarticulated, the bag even includes a bootleg weapon. The weapon is a small yellow plastic gun. It hasn’t yet been identified but it does bear a very strong resemblance to Han’s blaster. Though I really have no idea what good a weapon is for a figure that can’t even raise its arms. :^P
Here’s as best a close-up shot as I could get. The bag is really crumpled and obscures the figure a lot. Though I can tell you it is quite a good copy, well besides the color and lack of articulation that is. It was thought at first that this might be a bagged version of another Mexican Fett featured in the bootleg section but after seeing the lack of articulation we’ve concluded that it’s a completely different figure. |
