Bossk! Finally I hunted down the most awesomest bounty hunter in the galaxy! You heard me Boba Fett. The most awesomest, Bossksomest bounty hunter evah! Until now I only had the vintage version. No other version in any line, not even Lego or Galactic Heroes. But it was worth it as my life is now complete. Totally fulfilled. Ah. Feels good. Feels Bossksome!
A new bounty hunter leaps from the CG Clone Wars series! Is he as iconic as Boba Fett or Bossk or 4-LOM? Not quite. But he's still pretty durn cool. Rootin tootin, maybe you could say since he has that spaghetti western look which is actually pretty appropriate given that Star Wars, at least the original movie, was as much a space western as anything else. So, pretty fine looking figure, a little limited articulation wise but really, isn't the above pose all you need him to do?
So this is pretty much the ultimate in Bobas. The UbaBoba. Just a great looking figure, accurate as far as I can tell, if you ignore the fact his rifle is all warped. Probably my fault anyways for leaving it like that. Came with his dad and great-great-great-grandad in an Evolutions pack.
I love the Galactic Heroes line, even though they don't really do anything but look good. They're almost like Star Wars smurfs. Here we have Jango Fett. With his two blasters and jetpack he's one of the bigger heroes. And . . . that's about all you can say about him! I don't even recall who he came packaged with- likely Mullet Obi-Wan, currently acting as my stop signal in my garage. Padme does the same duty for my wife's car. So you see, Galactic Heroes have a myriad of uses!
It's been a while I know. Daughter born and all that. But actually I still have time, just all camera resources are dedicated to her right now! But I took a quick shot of Jango and sons. This Jango is from the Fett Evolutions set, the one with that weird battle-ax wielding Mandalore guy. I guess Gamorrean Guards have the battle-axes so it fits. Anyways, this is not about him. This is about Jango. His helmet looks great, and his jetpack is fine too, different from Boba's. Not sure about his shirt, the color seems a little off. The other Jango I have is stuck in a pose, so it's nice to have a more posable Jango. They should also make a head-comes-off Jango. Poor guy. I never really understood why he was fighting on Dooku's side. Wasn't he hired, at least ostensibly, by the Republic? Oh well. At least he got to do more than Boba.
After Darth Vader dismissed the bounty hunters from his star destroyer, they all went off in different directions. Zuckuss decided to go to the quarry's last known location- Hoth. Too bad for him Boba Fett already had Solo in carbonite. Maybe a wampa ate him! And are Zuckuss and Plo Koon the same species, and Zuckuss is like a beer-drinking redneck member? Who knows. All I know is that in Galactic Heroes from Zuckuss doesn't suckuss.
Who would win in a fight between Bossk and Boba Fett? You'd think Fett, right? I agree. But Bossk is still a pretty cool bounty hunter. He even got a line in Empire Strikes back, if you count growling as a line. Did Zuckuss get a line? 4-LOM? Exactly. This is one of the three vintage figures I kept. There was some sort of mystic connection between him and my Snaggletooth, though I forget what, other than maybe a physical resemblance. I seem to remember that Bossk occasionally landed on his feet after getting shot and spun around by our laser elastics. Could Boba do that?
It's hard to imagine a bounty hunter with C-3PO's awkward gait. But at least 4-LOM looks tougher than 3P0. And he's got a waaaay bigger blaster. As figures go, Lommy there is pretty decent. Got your basic protocol droid body with the waist swivel thing, which is fine. And the cool bug head looks great, as does the paint app. But all he did was stand there in Empire Strikes Back- I guess the same could be said about Bossk and the others. At least you can imagine Bossk chasing down an escaped convict. Oh well. I'm sure 4-LOM captured some bounties in his day. Maybe he does more of an undercover thing.
