Sideshow Toys Reveals Prototype Armor Boba Fett

Star Wars afficionados will dig the latest 1/6 scale figure from Sideshow Collectibles. It’s Boba Fett in the armor that Ralph McQuarrie and Joe Johnston designed for his initial screen tests. Although the design team knew that for The Empire Strikes Back that Boba Fett would have a fair amount of color, for the initial look the armor was a stark white.

The Sideshow exclusive version of the prototype Boba Fett includes a Star Wars beach towel cape (and a matching base.) It’s a tribute to the initial Boba Fett screen test – the costume team hadn’t finished the cape, so a Star Wars beach towel served as a stand in. Online retailers like BigBadToyStore also have a regular version available.

‘Meet Boba Fett’

In 1978 Joe Johnston designed an early prototype of the infamous bounty hunter Boba Fett, for Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back. The original ‘Supertrooper’ design featured striking all-white armor and the first prototypes of Fett’s trademark weapons.
