Boba’s Back, and Hasbro’s Got Him

Pete Vilmur | February 14, 2010

Hasbro’s got at least three new entries for 2010 of the galaxy’s best bounty hunter, including the infamous rocket-firing Boba Fett figure that finally gets the spring-loaded missile that was promised in 1979 but not released!

Because of safety concerns in 1979, the spring-loaded missile that was to come with the mail-away Fett was permanently attached to the bounty-hunter’s backpack shortly before release, with the rocket-firing feature surviving on only a select few prototype examples that are now worth thousands of dollars.

This rocket-firing Fett, which appears almost identical to the 1979 vintage original, will be available as a mail-away with the purchase of five specially-marked Hasbro figures starting this fall. Also on deck is the Boba Fett role-play blaster and helmet (read more about the helmet here). Check out our Flickr series for more photos of the vintage-style Fett figure as well as larger pics of the blaster and helmet. Stay updated with the latest from Toy Fair with our full Flickr series here!

    I like how the toys look, but I think the mantalorian death watch warriors are more better. According to my review, it’s lame and boring and to old at the same time.

    Ok, everything except for the helmet is cool, the eye lens is oversized and just plain ridiculous. I know i’m not the only one who thinks the helmet looks ridiculous

    That helmet looks terrible. WAY big visor.

  13. avatar ed says:

    don’t forget – the helmet is a toy for kids 4 and up. you need a nice big visor for visibility. you don’t want the little padawan star wars geeks run over by cars, right?

    WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK! Hasbro remanufactered him and they cant even do that right! I just got one brand new off ebay, and it looks like the original Kenner figure. There’s only one small problem, IT DOESN’T STAND UP!! How hard is it to remanufacture a plastic toy! Ridiculous!
