Entertainment Earth Reveals Third Star Wars Black Series Greedo Production Update

For the past two weeks, Entertainment Earth has been providing weekly installments of the production process for Greedo, the first of Hasbro’s Star Wars Black Series wave 2 figures that’s been revealed. This week we get a close-up look at a couple more 3D renders, perhaps the final ones, of the Greedo sculpt.

This follows the first update in which we saw Greedo’s blaster, holster, and hands, and last week’s update where we saw the painstaking detailed feedback provided by the Hasbro Star Wars team, which resulted in this render. And if you still haven’t, you can pre-order Star Wars Black Series wave one.

Sideshow Toys Reveals Prototype Armor Boba Fett

Sideshow Prototype Boba Fett 1

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.

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.

Last week, Entertainment Earth provided their first of four weekly installments of the production process for Greedo – the first of Hasbro’s Star Wars Black Series wave 2 figures that’s been revealed. This week we get a closer look at some of the painstaking work during design. An early 3D rendering of the action figure is marked up with feedback from the Hasbro design team – no detail has been overlooked.
