Boba Fett is proving to be a popular exclusive for San Diego Comic-Con this year. Gentle Giant is producing a deluxe mini bust of the bounty hunter. He will measure in at over 7-inches tall, and come with interchangeable arms that allow him to cradle his Blas Tech EE-3 rifle or aim his Kelvarek mini-rocket. The Boba Fett mini bust is limited to 2,500 pieces and will cost $150.
And if Boba Fett is your guy, you’ll also want to pick up the Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett, one of Hasbro’s exclusives for SDCC.
Boba Fett Deluxe Mini Bust – SDCC 2013 Exclusives
Boba Fett, the Bounty Hunter has developed an unbelievable cult following over the years since the release of The Empire Strikes Back. It’s only proper that we honor this iconic character with a bust befitting his status. Crafted by the master artisans at Gentle Giant Ltd., this bust redefines the term “Deluxe.” Packaged in a gorgeous tin emblazoned with the insignia of the feared Mandalorian Mercenaries, our Deluxe Boba Fett Mini Bust features multiple interchangeable arms, allowing collectors a wide range of dynamic poses. This limited edition bust will be available only at San Diego Comic Con 2013. Each bust is hand-painted and individually numbered, and comes with a matching certificate of authenticity.
Entertainment Earth and Hasbro have revealed the first figure from Star Wars Black Series wave 2, and it’s none other than Greedo, Han Solo’s unwitting victim in the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine. They’re planning four successive reveals each week that highlight the design and development of the Greedo figure. This first week gives us a glimpse at the figure’s blaster, holster, and hands – which I’m guessing have bendy fingers. While you’re there, you can pre-order Star Wars Black Series wave one.
But you’re not thinking about that, are you? You’ve got the Cantina Band music playing in your head now and you can’t get it out. Instead, try this – start humming the William Tell Overture (that’s the Lone Ranger theme song) and tell me it doesn’t morph into the Cantina Band song. Crazy, huh? Not as crazy if wave 2 doesn’t also include Han Solo.
In collaboration with Hasbro, Entertainment Earth is proud to introduce a never-before-seen figure in the second wave of the BLACK SERIES 6-inch scale action figure line! During the next few weeks, we will release images that give fans an inside look at the development of this great new character — concept to final product. Visit EntertainmentEarth.com weekly to see what we reveal in this exciting line that features incredible accuracy and articulation.

I usually post Border Patrol on Tuesdays, but am a little behind schedule. Luckily, the auctions I had spotted are still available – this week I found a trio of customs that range from life-size to 1/12 scale.
Life-Sized Boba Fett Helmet Replica by jono1974 – with SDCC around the corner, I’ve been thinking about the Star Wars Black Series Boba Fett exclusive – if I got this helmet for myself, I’d have to call myself Chubby Fett – ends Jun 07, 2013 18:33:22 PDT
In AFP’s Border Patrol, we scour active eBay auctions for customized action figures that you won’t want to let slip by!
With San Diego Comic-Con right around the corner, Star Wars Black Series is here – well, not quite, but the pre-orders for wave one of the 6-inch Star Wars line from Hasbro are up. You can reserve your set of Star Wars Black Series Series 1 at Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore, who’ve both put up their pre-order pages in the past couple days.
Case packouts are even, with one of each figure: Luke Skywalker (Rebel Pilot), Darth Maul (not pictured), R2-D2, and Sandtrooper. Oddly enough, I wonder if that means the trooper will be the hardest to find, if you believe many people will want to army build.
I think I’m all in for this line, so pre-ordering a case makes sense to me, even if it means an agonizing wait if they show up on retail shelves first. Who’s in?
