[GOHANrider100]

[TheLordFett]

Hey, Great review, just to let you all know, you can purchase the mail away rocket fett from Toys r Us UK for £5.99 at the moment!!! I've got mine!

[TheHelgan24]

I was very close to getting this

[aekc9537]

can you review the new vintage boba fett

[0715dude]

I am a Star Wars fanatic and your reviews are great. I subscribed and I saw your updated collection and I use you as a reference to my parents to fulfill my collection. You should start making Star Wars video game level walkthroughs or just video a level at a time. Can I have your phone number so I can get an idea what to get at the store.

the original boba fett fig was supposed to have firing missile but the year b4 a kid choked on a battlestar galactica missile and so kenner didnt release him with firing missile out of fear of a kids death and possibly being sued if it did happen the prototypes however have the firing missile and go for thousands of dollars.

[troopeur]

kid choking with battlestar galactica toys , not with Gi-Joe or first Boba Fett launching missile. No boba fett missile leave the Kenner office.

[MegatronixPrime]

You can still buy this for £7.99 on the Toys R Us website :)

[nwhunter75]

Nice review.

Not to be rude or anything, but with the G.I. Joe thing, my dad used to collect figures, and he knew the whole story, So here is the real story:

Tons of people wanted the rocket firing boba fett figure, but some got delayed.

The first kid to order that figure, of course, got it first, and he fired the missile into his throat. And the kid chocked on it and died.

I was dissapointed to hear that.

Plus my dad got it too, and he was steamed when it arrived without the feature.

HE WAS MAD

[starwarsshack]

i had one of these when i was younger, i bought 3 of these newer ones to keep carded, excellent reveiw

[jakebot99]

i have this

[mkmfilms2009]

You can get this at Toys R Us UK for £7.99!

[tacomaster23]

this is a sad story i will tel i had about $30 dollars and i bought 2 starwars figures thne i was down to $16 and then the rocket firing boba fett went down to $20 and the thing expired and then....out of luck for me i only had $16 left.

[Neightmon]

I have two of the original my dad gave them and all 36 of his others for my first A+ LOL

[REproductions911]

i got the original at a garage sale lol

[VongolaAQW223]

[VongolaAQW223]

@REproductions911 Wow the owners must not really know that Boba Fett was one of the rarest action figures of all

[jeditoyreviewer]

[condragon22]

[Toxie207]

5 points of articulation. Nice review - thanks again!

[StarWFan01]

cool

[flyguydotnet]

The fett! Whats not to love! : ) Classy review as usual dude.

[turbojermyhamond]

I got the vintage boba fett well i got 2 actualy

[ReikTerralt]

Love real vintage figures, for me at least, collecting vintage items is the center of the whole hobby, no star wars collection is complete without vintage items!

[patryczek118]

How to get this ? I ask because I'm from Poland.

[applesquadron]

For $48 this figure was a disappointment to me

[MoonIMover]

Kind of funny how part of the reason this toy is a big deal is because of its rocket-firing feature, but everyone is afraid to actually open the package and try it. For all we know, the rocket still doesn't work. :-p

[SithLord229]

@MoonIMover

LOL! Good point, never thought about that!

[miketheguitaist]

@MoonIMover i opened mine and the rocket still dosent work i have the original bcuz of my dad he waz big colector of star wars and comics

[darthgreivous]

@MoonIMover Not true check it out!!!!! Type Star Wars Rocket Firing Boba Fett Vintage Collection HD review & Comparison in the search bar.

[darthgreivous]

@MoonIMover Should be the very first video.

[StarDestroyer922]

I've picked up this guy nearly a month ago. Fantastic figure and articulation is all right.

[StarDestroyer922]

I've got this guy nearly a month ago. Fantastic figure,and artillation is all right.

[Bobthesub]

Its quite comical that 'health and safety' has changed over the years and a toy I was stopped from buying as a child as I could have blinded myself on I can now buy as a 37 year old and blind myself as an adult with out any problems LOL. Id seen these going on ebay for quite high prices, I had no idea I could get one from toys r us, are they only available from the website or are they available in store?

[turbojermyhamond]

HI Steve it was not a gi i joe figure it was a battle star galactica figure

[RRolon999]

Do you have or want the original 1980s version of this firgure? About how do they go for now a days? Lastly do you think the 2010 version will be that valuble in the future?

[madmanxp]

Oh, my god, this figures from 80's, get one if you're hard core starwars figure collectors. I only have a few figures from 90's, I will get a stormtrooper later.

[MoonIMover]

@madmanxp 70's.

He's from the 70's.

[doctorwhoone]

There was an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer recently on the Sci-Fi Channel [ Thursday last week i think it was ] where Spike talks to these three complete morrons, and he threated to break the head of their Boba Fett figure, which he calls " Mr Fett " when noticing the name on a display stand, suggesting his never seen the Empire Strikes Back in his life, if they dont remove this Chip from his Brain which stops him from harming people.

[Aleglost]

They sold these in mass amounts at my local Farmers(NZ version of saintspres)

[Mrsblessed101]

Great video! My son is watching and he wants me to tell you he collects the LEGO Star Wars Lego. He said he has a huge collection and he likes your videos.

[juswapenelo]

the rocket firing boba fetts in our country is actually sold on retail haha!

[noble381297]

awesome review bro :)

[ryandsimpson]

Was wondering if you were going to review this one...the best figure so far of the vintage collection. You only had to send in 5 UPCs by the way. I just picked up mine on EBay.

[calebtaytay]

no actually the Shogun action figures were discontinued and Kenner was borrowing springs so they actually just scraped the idea after that and gave you that piece of bull crap note lying to you and not giving you the whole story. If you don't believe me check out micahc6v8's channel. He has a 6 video legacy of the true history of the figure telling the true story.

[crest61]

i have 2 2010 vintage figures got them from a friend

[jedirocker77]

Can I have your 2010 vintage boba fett? jk

[SithLord229]

@jedirocker77

Haha, no way! Took me forever to track him down! LOL!

[waffleownage]

They did have ball joints back then, one example is the old MEGO figures (Super heroes, Star Trek, etc)

[AnSTAmeliorateLad]

I opened mine, and I kinda regret it, but it's still cool having him displayed. I just wish his blaster was held better. :/ I tried, but I'm not very good at putting the elastic bands on to figures. :P

[smeagol92055]

Oh, crap! I had all 6 UPCs to mail away for this and I forgot to mail away for it! Isn't the promotion over now? ARRRG.

Oh well. I still have my mail-away Force Ghost Obi-Wan figure to keep me company. *sigh*

[SithLord908]

It was a battle star galaxia toy tht a kid got hurt

[Virussduderule666]

oh man i pass on that figure like a month ago it was like in 4 buck dam

by the way nice video dude

[SithLord908]

I got one, but it was $7.99 for me. Mine is still in the package :D

[LarryPokeTrainer]

I really want this guy, but I'd keep him in the package.

[Nightshroud99]

That figure is awesome!

[Calmos333]

Great review, Steve! :)

[vvharrington1]

the original didn't have a projectile rocket, it just was glued in and a little longer

[skogzor]

i got the oldest one

[JediEmpire66]

Great review Steve. Can't wait for more mando reviews....

[IceHockeyJedi]

Congrats, dude! Sweet figure! Good to see your cargo survived, it's no good to you dead!

[maddwoba]

The issue started when Mattel made Battlestar Galactica ships with a small shooting missile.After one death and ten other injuries where reported Mattel recalled all there missile firing ships in January 1979,Kenner not wanting a lawsuit scraped the rocket firing Boba Fett a few months later.I still have the ships from 1979,mine where never turned back in.If you ever see one of the original missles from Mattel it looks just like the one used in the new Rocket firing Fett but they made it longer.

[grandtheftautocj]

Nice figure :)

[jedimastermunro1]

awsome

[g0odfr1end102]

Do you have a room update planned? :s

Great video anyways ;)

[Sithknight101]

I bet the next review is the Jodo Kast(I think thats how its spelt)since it is an exclusive figure.

[Sithknight101]

I planed on getting it and I wished I did after seeing this awsome review.

[001Petter]

nice review
