Equipment: Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Boba Fett (Morak) Action Figure from Hasbro (Updated Price)

The Book of Boba Fett, which is currently airing on Disney + has captured the hearts of Star Wars fans, old and young. Granted, some people aren’t fans of the new series but everyone can agree, Boba Fett is a great character. The Book of Boba Fett has already answered the big question of how he escaped the Sarlacc and the more we learn about Boba Fett, the more 3 dimensional his character becomes.  I felt, as so many others did, that his “death” in Return of Jedi was pathetic and he deserved a more dignified end. We may eventually see that happen.

Because of this show, there has been a resurgence in Fett mania and more collectibles and toys that are showing up. Speaking of new toys, Hasbro has released information on the upcoming Boba Fett Vintage Line action figure.

Equipment: Rumble Society – Nautilus Crew Builder Set from Mezco Toyz

The Captain Nemo One:12 was a spectacular looking figure. When I first saw Nemo I thought to myself that Mezco needed to make more figures from this universe and somehow my request was approved. Now Mezco has announced crewmembers from The Nautilus and they are just as cool as their captain. One of the things I like about this release is the number of crewmembers you can make just by switching out heads.

This exclusive set includes 2 figures, 4 unique head portraits, and a boat load of accessories allowing for a multitude of distinct looks!
