Walmart 2022 Black Series 6" Armored Boba Fett (Tython)
« on: January 31, 2022, 06:35 PM »
Yes, it's another over-priced Boba Fett figure!  I hope you are all enjoying that "premium" deco that's adding $8-10 to the price of what should be a $20-22 basic figure. :P

STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES 6-INCH BOBA FETT (TYTHON) JEDI RUINS Figure
(HASBRO/Age 4 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $31.49 /Available: 2/1/2023) 
STAR WARS fans and collectors can imagine scenes from the STAR WARS galaxy with this premium BLACK SERIES 6-INCH BOBA FETT (TYTHON) JEDI RUINS figure, inspired by THE MANDALORIAN. This STAR WARS BLACK SERIES figure comes with 4 entertainment-inspired accessories that make a great addition to any STAR WARS collection. Fans and collectors can display this fully articulated figure featuring poseable head, arms, and legs, as well as premium deco, in their collection.

Hmm… saw the pics on YakFace’s Instagram. So basically the previous Deluxe BOBF Boba figure but with the ROTJ/Cobb Vanth deco. It’s a WM exclusive, so not like I have a shot at it anyway, but I’m thinking I can skip this one and not be missing anything.

I feel like I might have hit my breaking point.  Yesterday I found that GameStop canceled that Nightbrother Warrior figure on me without notice.  And yesterday Hasbro revealed yet ANOTHER Boba Fett????

I was just looking through the character database over at Galactic Figures.  And by my estimates, between 2021 and 2022 we're looking at a total of 12 Boba Fett figures between the 3.75" and 6" figure lines.  Oh, and most of them are higher priced than comparable figures in those lines.

I refuse to sit glued to my iPhone at 1 pm ET trying to get yet another Boba Fett figure unless it is ridiculously easy to do so.  If I get it?  Great.  If not?  **** you, Hasbro and Walmart.  My name isn't Mark.

Anybody post a link to this yet?  I didn't see one on Yakface or any other place yet.

Haha!  Of course its delayed.  Over priced, similar to previous offerings, not screen accurate, exclusive, not enough accessories, and now...delayed.

Is it just me or is the head wrong on these Tython Boba Fetts?  Shouldn' his head be a little more pale and scarred?  He looks kind of post bacta tank.
This is the way.

That would have required a new sculpt and eaten in to their margins...

I get that Dave, but the these figures in both the TVC and Black Series are supposed to be accurate.  This throws it off a little for me....more likely for me to display them with the helmets on.

Shocked that this preorder was so simple.  This is how it should be. 

But then I think moving to this date might have been by design.  Adding the Deluxe Dark Trooper along with the TVC Din Djarin preorders to this time might have helped.  Why?  Listing a single retail exclusive figure on a given date has the potential to focus web traffic on one site.  But listing multiple items at the same time across multiple retailers at the same time might just spread the user traffic around enough to keep online retail sites from crashing.
