[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 491547, member: 7379"] Well, the US had Boba Fett released on a Star Wars card, but I don't believe the rest of the world did. I do sometimes wonder what Americans buying him back in 1979 before Empire came out, thought about the character. However, my biggest problem with Kenner's Boba Fett is not when he was released, but rather the lousy colour scheme and poor sculpt! He really is a prime candidate for this thread as let's be honest, cool though the figure undoubtedly is, Kenner really didn't try very hard to make him remotely movie-accurate! For starters, since when was Boba's helmet the same colour as his jump suit? His permanently moulded 'down' and shortened range finder isn't great either, and the less said about his backpack and the non-firing bright scarlet rocket, the better (and yes, I'm well aware of the whole history of the rocket and how it came to be the way it was, but that still doesn't make it look anything like it was in the films)!
